this really helped me out!
now notifications and badges are coming through (again) 
and oh, the comfort! i only need to tap onto the notification to be carried right into the game, skipping the log in screen.
but custom deck saves were gone, although they should have been stored in iCloud?
Weird?! Really? Because you are right, the custom decks are bound to your login. I never had any problems in this regard. If you are sure you entered your login correctly, then maybe contact Pladek support. They had been helpful to me before.
Hmm. I think custom decks must be stored locally as oneās I create on my iPhone do not appear as choices on my iPad.
i have read other players making the same statement in the Playdek forum.
custom decks are obviously not stored in the iCloud.
If youād like a sparring partner for the time being feel free to send an invite.
Let me practice a little bit, then Iāll take you up on that. 
Thanks!
That is weird. I could swear they were, and honestly I never lost my decks through many reinstalls and many iPad generations for many years now. So neither when I reinstalled the app nor when I changed devices.
But to make sure I was wrong I installed the game on my iPhone and did not get access to my decks, so I must had been wrong somehow. I still donāt have an explanation how I kept my decks then through all this timeā¦
Youāve been haunted by the decisions of your past. You now face the crippling weight of total freedom, from which all men secretly flee.
So Blackfyre and Snotty, how is your match going? Eagerly waiting for one of you to come into my lair!
Its going both decks are empty and both summoners are mortally wounded. Theres still some dancing left to be done before the day is over though
So, my game with @Snotty128 is finally over. It was Snotty with āFallen Kingdomā against me with āMercenariesā. Neither of us gave an Inch away for the other, leaving us both bleeding hard. In the end dice rolls were in my favor, but was a hard earned win. Good game Snotty!!
So, what should I do now? In Challonge I reported the win as ā1:0ā, but I was not foreworded automatically to the next bracket ( I am not very familiar with Challonge). So, should I go play @AtticusJr now?
Ive reported the game on challonge too, which was likely what was causing the hold up
Ok, Iāve added Blackfyre to my friends list. Now, who sets up the game, and if I do, are there any particular settings I should use?
It does not matter who invites. Iāve set up a game with a 14 days timer. Choose whatever faction you like.
Im going to wait a couple of days to accept your invite, if thats ok. Im on call so my brain is fried, and ive only got a basic grasp of the game. Id prefer to have a bit of a sharper mind during those all important opening turns
Have notifications been working for everybody? Didnāt get one for the invite, didnāt get one for my first turnā¦
I do not have problems with notifications currently in SW
