The playtester is only a one person thing. It basically allows you to playtest against a goldfish.

You could do what I do and load up two decks in two different tabs, and playtest them against each other (making the best plays possible, as if you had Telepathy out).

I usually go and search for a deck I'd hate to face, like something almost built to beat the deck I just built. If I can get to a 50% win/loss rate against that deck, then I'm on my way to making something not so bad.

Boooooo. I don't like this poison nonsense! Well, not in a plane full of ARTIFACTS! How can you infect/poision an artifact!?

Oh well. Im sure wizards will make everything okay eventually.

Also, I STILL don't like level up. lol

Sorry guys... Wrong thread... Thank goodness I caught myself before I posted MY response to this thread, on the Scars Speculation thread.

I was just going to say that my neighbor and I sometimes playtest decks against each other and then just hide our hands when we look at eachother's screen. Of course, you have to trust each other not to cheat but yeah. It works okay.

Does anyone else use skype screensharing with the play-tester? Have the playtester open on one side of your screen and view another person's playtester on the other side of the screen. In my experience, it doesn't always work if both people are using windows, but when we do get it to work (by having someone use linux), it's a great way to play when you can't actually meet up.

Now I'd just like to see if there's a way to play longdistance free-for-all or two-headed giant (skype doesnt allow more than two people to screenshare).

Hello i made this deck Elesh Norn because i admired the story of the white phyrexians and they also don't have bad effects/artworks. The decks purpose is to get Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite , Mycosynth Lattice and Darksteel Forge out quickly and beat stick my opponent to death. So what do you think?

Just the idea of indestructible elesh norn is scary.

But I also don't see anyway for you to play these high cost spells anytime before they would normally be cast. So obviously they won't be coming out quickly.

Yeah i know that's why i use Phyrexian Unlife to make my life total 30 and Kuldotha Forgemaster to search out the big stuff early or get the effects of the wellsprings overall it's just a casual deck a little more speed would be nice but where's the fun if the resistance don't have a chance eh? ;p
