Final boss of mtga editionPrevious: >>97074134>News & RemindersWorld Championship 31 currently going on, watch on Twitch or YTArena Direct Avatar: The Last Airbender December 12-14; win up to two TLA Play boxesFrom November 18, 2025–January 19, 2026 Golden Packs will temporary contain cards differently than before due to "various pieces of internal nonsense"https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/mtg-arena/announcements-december-1-2025>Useful Linkshttps://pastebin.com/QFA0hqaA>TQHow are you liking Avatar draft?
Feel so god damn demoralized, spent agonizing long finding a deck this standard season I liked found Izzet lessons a week and a half ago and it's been fun.But because faggots are playing it at worlds everyone and their mother are preboarding against or playing decks specifically to have near unbeatable matchups.I don't want to fucking play some faggoty midrange deck or fucking esper artifacts.
>>97129473The only drafts I like are IPAs from my favorite Barcade obese bearded bartender
>>97129473who? MtG needs characters with personality to match their powers
^all botsv>>97129671t. monkey-like critter
>>97081415I just started MTG this year. It's kinda overwhelming. It feels like I need to be at it daily or I fall behind.
>>97129473>How are you liking Avatar draft?By drafting do you mean draft events or the whole Avatar series of cards? I'm too newby, broke, and scared to join draft events.I think firebending is a cool mechanic. waterbending is lame. earthbending is funny and kinda stupid. idk about airbending
>>97129637>Try a different deck>Get literally nothing but weak matchupsFuck this rigged ass match making why the fuck am I playing this faggot game.
>>97129671lurk more
>>97129923lurk more esl troon
I only play skeletons in best of one.
>>97130111t. a1 level english barely able to work a sentence in simple present
SAY SOMETHING NICE ABOUT BADGERMOLE CUBLIKE "EARTHBENDING IS THE ONLY WINCON IN SIMIC OMNI THAT DOESN'T FORCE A DEAD CARD SLOT"
Yipee, I love losing to back-to-back multicolored rates and mythics in a 3 color deck with no.man fixing, draft is a skilled format :^)
So what's the best bounce hate? High Noon?>>97130515Yeah, and you can't even do two colors without mulliganing 3 times to get a barely playable hand
>play greeds gambit combo>get opponent empty handed with discard so its safe to cast without immediate donate>they untap, draw a card, pass>cast greeds gambit>end of my turn in response to triggers, they get lost it with the get lost they topdecked because of course they did>discard down and have just greeds gambit + discard spell left in hand, hey I'm set up for a safe one>they untap, draw, pass>cast my discard spell, they discard ANOTHER topdecked get lost>cast greeds gambit, pass to their turn>they untap, draw>cast a 3rd topdecked get lost in a row to blow up greeds gambitalright im done
My hate for this piece of shit rigged game is fathomless
>>97129637>why cant I just play a broken deck without people reacting
>On the draw>Lose>On the play>WinAnd that's draft, nice balance you have here
>>97129716>just started MTG this year.Why? This game is trash and has been for over a decade the only reason we're still here is Stockholm syndrome, sunk cost, and this being our main source of interpersonal interaction. Leave while you're not in deep anon
>>97129637LMAO
>>97130836>main source of interpersonal interaction>chatless gameyikes!
>>97130479retard neptune sunday word salad finger pizza random.
>>97131041yep, that's youlittle ape
>opponent plays NOTHING but ramp / earthbend spells the entire game>ends the game with 0 lands on boardfeels good man>3 badgermole cubs>3 encroaching dragonstorm>2 rampant growths>a bunch of that earthbend + flashback spellNo match for locus of enlightment + esoteric duplicator + boom box powering out 4x land destruction per turn
>>97130824>On the draw>Opponent ropes>On the play>Opponent ropes
why the hell can't I play aang airbending master in standard?I opened it in a jumpstart pack, what is the point of this format if they aren't even standard legal?
>>97131770Because fuck you that's why
>>97131770You play him in commander silly! :D
>>97131545>Waiting for the server>Waiting for the opponent to connect>Waiting for him to rope on mulligan>Waiting for him to rope on turn one>Waiting for him to rope through my triggers>Waiting for the game to finish roping several times after he realises he lost and alt+f4's>Waiting for the server...This game would be a lot more fun if it didn't waste you time so much
>>97131976Sounds like you have connectivity issues my dude or your game files are messed up
>>97130607kek, deserved
>>97129637Izzet Lessons is:1) A dirt simple deck that builds itself a la Affinity.2) The same colors as the most hated deck in Standard for over a year now.Why would anyone respect it?
I regret thinking the Avatar set looked okay. Nuke Universes Beyond from space. This Standard is dreadful.

I love how this general is just constantly seething, truly reflects the game it's about.
>>97132690>he's not even memeing
is there any way to flicker/recur seam rip in standard, I'm looking but I don't see anything
>>97132868me on the upper leftthis game on the bottom right
>>97132883Nothing efficient. You could airbend it too.

I’m pretty new to Arena, is it a good idea to invest my gold in EoE packs to get ready for Star Trek? They’ll likely have some mechanics carry over right?
>>97133155No
>>97133155>is it a good idea to invest my gold in EoE packs to get ready for Star Trek?No>They’ll likely have some mechanics carry over right?Maybe, but that's pretty irrelevant. Not even pros can predict what will be competitive in 3 months, let alone a year
>>97132983I was looking at airbending it I probably will go in that direction
>>97133181>>97133208Don't EOE packs have a bunch of good lands?
>>97133329Generally speaking, it's a bad idea to open packs just for a small handful of target cards in the set. Unless you're opening so many packs that rare dupe protection kicks in, the odds are very low you'll hit.
>>97133155If they bring back station, there's this card that might be relevant.
I really love my wife Sheoldred
>>97133595Can’t have Legendary Vessel USS Enterprise without Station
I just got back into this game after a 3 years hiatus. Weren't arena threads in /vg/ ? Did player count drop or something?
>>97134081/vg/ mods started deleting the threads told us to come here.I also think I remember mods here telling us we needed to be on /vg/ and fighting for a bit. But it's fuzzy if that actually happened.
>>97134302Why are you lying to newfags?>>97134081Real reason is >>97119027
>>97132993Shocklands are overrated in formats without 1 mana rituals/moxes
>>97134530>shocklands are overrated in a 3c deck with 18 1 cost cards and a curve that essentially tops out at 2amazing analysis from mount gag, as usual
