How to unlock the Solo Scrapper achievement in Magic Duels - Definitive Guide

Update (August 23rd 2015): Just to keep a record of the average wins before this achievement pops up, use this thread so we can determine if session time/wins per day has any factor.

Highest possible bug: After research by others, the leaderboard tracking on the game hub does not add wins correctly. You will get additional wins recorded to your profile if you restart a duel and win on that play, so for the time being do not use the leaderboard as a means of tracking and either concede or take the loss. Thanks to Kamakazi59 and the community up to now for finding possible solutions.

This also applies to 500 wins.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

So, this achievement is hit or miss. Even if you follow the leaderboard and see that you have 100 wins, this might not pop on the dot. I personally unlocked this at 115 wins with a custom deck, only ever using Wizard decks when a quest required it.

As a precaution, I'm going to advise that anytime you get a win, but also see the "Not connected to server" message, that this doesn't count as a win towards your actual total but may be tracked as such by the Xbox game hub leaderboard.

Additionally, it's also more beneficial (to you) in only getting wins while you can still earn coins from your daily cap. I know some players will want to get this done quickly, but limiting yourself this way will help make the grind less tedious. 27 wins against Hard AI should be enough to hit the daily cap.

This is speculation which is now plausible, rather than a troubleshooting guide. All that can be done is to figure out what issues could be leaving many on grinding more wins that necessary, if not just leaderboard errors.

As always, this issue needs to be fixed in the future along with many other bugs, so go ahead and nudge Stainless with an e-mail telling them that their awful programming and lazy design needs to be readdressed.

Thanks for the info. I'm at 101 wins now according to TA but no achievement. It would be nice to figure out what the issue is.

If custom decks don't count towards wins, I'm screwed. About 90% of my wins were from custom decks.

I got the 10 solo wins achievement with only having used custom decks. My counter was at 18 and I had never used a wizard assist deck at that point.

Kamakazi59 - Custom decks do count for wins, I can confirm that my 115th win was with a custom deck. However, I have a feeling that custom decks don't always trigger wins if you use them alongside quests that aren't restricted to Wizard Assist decks.

FWIW, I got the 10 solo/dual wins using custom decks along the way on the dot. 100 is bugged and there's no real indication on what could cause the delay on the achievement to pop. I can only hope that the 500 mark actually pops correctly, but we'll see in time.

Might be a silly question but where are the leaderboards in this game to see how many games you've won? Thanks

On the dashboard, hover over Magic Duels, hit cn_start and then select "View game hub" on the scroll menu. The very first leaderboard score you should see on the bottom left are your solo wins. You can also see other stats such as multiplayer wins, owned cards and such.

Alternatively, TA also updates your stats every once in a while. Unlocking an achievement in Magic force syncs updates.

Ok I unlocked the achievement on my 126 win. My only speculation is that if u used a deck to get wins n u delete your decks the wins are no longer counted for. I keep building decks to get quest done n delete them afterwards cuz I don't like them. This is just my guess nothing more.

That's a pretty good theory, actually. I've deleted decks which I'm pretty sure I've won with before, so this could be one of the problems into getting it when achieved.

I'll amend with this note.

I only ever had one single custom deck that I got all my wins with. It still took until I had 18 wins on the leaderboard to pop the 10 win achievement.

I see... so we'll have to scratch that previous thought out. Actually, I'm surprised that the 10 wins bugged for you as I've not heard many instances of that happening, but given that 100 wins is bugged, I guess all win related achievements are to an extent.

According to leader board, it took 158 solo wins for me to get 100. This discounts story affecting it (25 matches) non archetype (which at the very most I played 5) and games over the daily coin limit (Could not have exceeded 10), 2 where there were disconnects, and all but five were with the same deck. So yes, the leader board is extremely unreliable and does not properly track wins AT ALL. Do not use the leader board to keep track.

I think its just a problem with the counter and not the actual number of games you have won, i started the game up on a new account and after 4 wins the leader board was listing 6 wins

Do not follow the leaderboard tracking, it is incorrect.

Another good way to avoid having it count a ton of wins is to avoid playing too much per day. Hit your gold cap, and then stop. Excessive playing will screw you over in the long run.

A strong theory online is that the leader board and xbox app count the wins, but the acheivment doesnt count wins after your coin cap has been reached. So basically you play duels until you reach the daily coin cap then wait a day!?

What is the daily coin cap?

400 coins. There are tricks to get a bit more than that if you plan accordingly however.

This would be around 27 wins against Hard AI. Give or take.

I made a thread on the Magic Duels subreddit and a wizards employee responded. He asked for people to post info about their problems with the leaderboard count. If anyone could reply there, it'd be great.

This achievement popped for me at 117 solo wins. I just assumed at that point that I had restarted 17 times along the way. I've been diligent not to restart on my way to 500 wins and I'm now at 535 with that achievement not popping for me. Irritating.

Mine unlocked at 121 wins but actually unlocked after a loss. Not sure what triggered it.

Unlocked at 103! Started the grind after I had done 29 solo wins in previous years and if I don´t remember things wrong I did restart a few times so feels accurate.

From 29 and with my red deck I won 74 times and lost 8.

I got the 10 wins version of this after I lost a game. I'm not 100% sure what was up with that.

^ Same with me, after a loss. My counter says 17 wins and I haven’t been counting, but if I had to bet, I would say I’ve won 5. I’ve lost and restarted a lot.
