Hey there, if you found this guide, it is because you're stuck on a challenge, and are about to pull your hair out as you tried just about every possible combination there is to try and complete it (or just wanna beat all challenges without much effort for the trophy/achievement and/or just don't wanna put much effort into completing the challenge yourself, which i sometimes do lol.) This is my first guide i've made, and may not be tidy and look in the best of shape, but it'll still help you complete the Challenges. There's really no hard tricks or anything to do, just follow the instructions step by step. The things you need to do will be broken down by steps, which will make it alot easier for you to follow. if there is a * before a step number, it means that you will have to stop the clock/timer to prevent the game moving forward and spell effects to take place and move the next phase, it will also be in all caps "STOP THE TIMER" to further tell you to do so. To easily skip to a Challenge, use the Ctrl+F for the PC to open the Word find and copy and paste the # code below within the parentheses. In addition to the text guide, I have also added youtube links for each challenge if you would like a video rather than text walkthrough. Hope this Guide helps, and have fun playing Magic! ============================== Sections (#CC0) - Campaign Challenges (#CC1) - Rumble in the Jungle (#CC2) - In the Spider's Web (#CC3) - With Fire and Sword (#CC4) - Death Blooms (#CC5) - Lust for Blood (#CC6) - Welcome to the Pit (#CC7) - Master of Illusions (#CC8) - Bane of Bolas (#CC9) - Desperate Measures (#CC10) - The Tangled Vale (#CC11) - Master Your Destiny (#CC12) - Plots within Plots (#AC0) - Archenemy Challenges (#AC1) - Might of the Mountains (#AC2) - Kiss of Death (#AC3) - Seek No Longer (#EC0) - Expansion Challenges (#EC1) - Behold the Power of Destruction (#EC2) - Death on the Wind (#EC3) - Introductions are in Order (#EC4) - Feed the Machine (#EX0) - Copyright (#EX1) - Credits ===================================================================== --------------------(#CC0) - Campaign Challenges--------------------- ----------------------------------- (#CC1) - Rumble in the Jungle Youtube - http://youtu.be/mLSXArDTZs8 1.
