Welcome to the Wizard101 Message Boards

I have the same problem as you.
I find out if I do quick match I find a player who's a warlord or above my rank and kills me.
Of course warlords use astral spells but the thing is that PVP won't find a good person.
So to be on the safe side don't try to quick match and try to wait and do quests.

I do understand that you will earn more tickets in Tournaments, but I want to stick to the free side of the game, for I already have a membership. Please give other tips on pvp, the ones I already know I will post below:

1. You are able to use most treasure cards
2. You are allowed to summon minions
3. People use you in pvp. When the see your spell you will cast, they will use a shield to block most damage
4. Some people cheat with astral spells (which level 20 people should not know)

Idk if its the same on everyones PC, but on MY PC, your enemies cannot see what spell you are casting. I know this because I cant see what spells my enemies are casting, for one. For two, if you are having trouble doing pvp, you should just team up for a 2v2 match, or a 3v3 or 4v4. (although I dont really like doing 3v3 or 4v4) I find it is much easier that way. So basically what i am saying is just to avoid 1v1 matches, because they are pretty difficult, no matter what level your enemy is.

Hi Connor!
Not sure if this will help much, but here's a guide from Duelist101 that totally helped me. It covers everything from deck set up, gear, and strategy. It's a Magus guide, but it got my Master Myth to Warlord just fine. Good luck!

(Also, using Astral Spells in PvP isn't necessarily cheating... Like you listed above, you can use most TC, haha. And, people using shields to block your damage isn't "using you" it's essential to nearly every strategy, I'd strongly recommend using shields yourself, actually!)
