This is how I Scroll

So, you just bought Scrolls and you aren't sure where to start:

Maybe you have never played a trading card game before and aren't sure what you are getting into.  Well, I have some good news for you.  Scrolls has only been out a week so we are all basically still noobs at this point.  So don't freak out, it's not like trying to jump into Magic the Gathering 15+ years after launch with dozens of expansions, thousands of cards and years of rules changes.

To help everyone out Mojang has put together a handy dandy guide for new players to help you learn how to Scroll.

Here is some handy pointers from Owen:

Are you a Scrolls newbie? Don’t worry. Everyone’s got to start somewhere. Here are 10 tips that you might find useful after you’ve completed the tutorial and played a few games against the AI.

• Once you’ve built up a decent amount of resources, start sacrificing one scroll for two. It’s vital to have scrolls to play!
• Try to maintain board control. If you’ve got a choice between damaging your opponent’s idol or creature, it’s probably better to hit the creature
• It’s OK to let your idols take a few hits. Don’t give up a unit unless it’s completely necessary or part of your strategy
• Keep your deck lean! There’s a minimum of 40 scrolls per deck
• Stick to single resource decks when starting out. It’s a easier to learn basic strategy that way
• Experiment with each of the starter decks. They play very differently so find the one which best suits your play style
• Maintain a good balance of creatures and spells once you begin to customise
• Make sure your deck has good resource balance. You want some scrolls that can be played early as well as hard-hitting finishers for the late game
• You can spend the Gold earned from matches to purchase new Scrolls in the Store. You can also sell back at a reduced price
• Don’t get disheartened if you lose! Try to work out where you went wrong and correct your play next time

Hope these help you out. See you online, noob!
