HELLO I AM BAD AT MAGIC WHAT DO I CUT
>>97997267All your blue except stallion and outburst, and arcane omens to boot. Your mana's fucked.
>>97997336Dont listen to this nigga xirs soul is tainted your deck is beautiful however u build it.
alright then if you guys are so good figure out how I improve the all-in listevery card seems to have a place but I've seen a bit underperform by highway robbery, which should be 2x more critiques to burn wildcards but maybe something elsesome options like>winternight stories>three steps ahead>leyline weaver>llanowar elves to just be faster
>>97997336i ALTERNATED WITH AND WITHOUT OMENSLOST ME MORE GAMES THAN WON ME TBHSENPAI 6 WINS THO SOMEHOWGONNA DRAFT AGAIN
>>97997511okay scratch that imagein fact forget I posted itTHIS is 100% the build holy shit this is actually competitive nowleyline weaver can be targeted by electroduplicate to go mana positiveI've comboed off like 9/10 times I popped off with a single plotted trailblazer to start, never had to untap with a battlecrier surviving
Goofy ass trophy. You can really feel the dread when the second tidecaller hits the field
/turbofog/ tomorrowI have a new build ready & testedAlso realizing there are common mdfcs led me to wondering if spy is viable
As soon as my deck starts performing a little too well, I suddenly start getting mana screwed and getting shit draws every fucking game. This is some sort of psyop
Naturally crafting Izzet lands is the move because the ervs fucking love this color combination. But what would be the second place in the color tier list?
help improve my deck
First ever 7-0, guess that going for more than 2 colours is perfectly viable huhAlso Scolding Administrator (with Graduation Day) is a disgusting card, basically won three matches on his own
>>97998536>splash for red>doesn't run one of the best cards in the poolsloth is better than any of the red cards you're running
>>97998545>implying I ever got to 4 manaI only ever played the Tackle Artist once, so I swapped out the Sloth at some point for the extra Flourish
>>97998479+ chocobo+1/2 icetill+3/4 escape passage+1/2 earthbender ascensionthat's a must. you need to maximise your landfall chances. the rest is fluff, i'd maybe cut 2 tifas, and add some Harmonisers. Maybe a Surak or two. Bite Down and Ouroborid are bad against control decks, but work well against mirror matches. Hyrda is Elemental, so great against bounceback elementals deck. Keen-Eye is greens graveyard protection. Ba Sing, and Sapling Nursery great against board wipes. Nature's Rythm plays really well with Baloths, Cub's and Ouroborids. Search for Cub, then Ouroborid/Icetil is normal play, but it can also search for Baloth and do haste 3 damage for a kill a lot of times. Add depending on what's currently played.
>historic brawl>facing The First Sliver>0 slivers in this deck btw>play perfectly with the cards I draw, get him down to 1 life>he drops one with the multiverse into emergent ultimatum>ultimatum cards are expropriate, breach the multiverse and omniscience, I send expropriate back into his deck bc I don't want him to get extra turns>breach + omniscience gets him Uro to get off 1hp, then he's able to tutor and play expropriate anyway, say money so he only gets one extra turn>on his one extra turn he runs out his commander, cascades into idek what, cycles and clones Uro to stabilize his life, then once he plays something that allows him to replay all his instants and Sorcs from the GY I just conced Burn 5c slop at the stake
Whoa i bought a pack of strixhaven and it gave me ten packs is this a glitch? Only lost 200 gems.
wow sissy this totally is the first time you try thisthis is why i don't post, these threads are an endless repetition of transsexualisms
>>98000595>this is why i don't postI thought it was because your reddit moderating duties kept you too busy.
this storm deck spanksopponent removes my dorks on turn 1 and turn 2I plot trailblazer on turn 3 and passopponent plays out their threats and taps outgo into turn 4 with nothing but a plotted trailblazer and nothing on boardwin game on turn 4Didn't even get to do the full combo, he conceded when I had 2x trailblazer+battlecrier on board and cast michelangelo's technique for my full remaining {1G} and tapped out, hitting another trailblazer + firesinger which drew 2 cards and added {RRRRR} with sorc schemes readyI've played several games so far where opponent sweeps my board and I just untap and win on the spot
>>97997075G/W is a ridiculous color combo. Every card of theirs I see is silly.
Here's your /mtgag/ approved mwm list for free wins sisters
>>98002389>he needs to play all that faggy stuff for free winsjajaja
>>98002389I just played red, needed more Crash Throughs but I still won easy. Wild ride from the gy on Firedancer is huge damage.
>3 mana 2/3 with menace is a sub 50% WR cardhow?
>>98002782Because that's a bad rate? Shopkeep is literally this guy with infusion tacked on, and strangler was shit even back then.
7-2 in Plat with this deckAny good?
Why the fuck is Forum Necroscribe a D card?
Hello it is Ithe man who is bad at magicwhat do I cut?
>>98002924I haven't been very impressed with Inkling mascot, maybe drop one or two of those
>>98002924necorscribe is trash, immediate cut. nothing else in your deck is truly bad, but there are a few cards that are below averagesilverquill is aggressively meh, he's just a french vanilla body. maybe if you had the rare that churned out tokens, but you have pretty much no spells its worth sac'ing a card to copydebater is statistically not very good. its another french vanilla body unless you throw more cards at itdustspeaker is better than those 2 according to data, but its also expensive in a deck that probably wants to close out games early. you already have mascots, administrator and maybe silverquill for evasive bodiescutting silverquill is probably the right move to drop your curve. you want to rush them down, you have like no late game value and 3 scaling early drops.
>>98003252Necroscribe is clunky but turning every pump spell into a reanimate is stupidly strong
what's the worst midweek magic format and why is it Momir?
>>98003310he has 10 spells that trigger repartee, and none of them are recursive. the odds of him getting to 6 mana, dropping necroscribe, then having a spell to target with after untapping is slim to noneand the 17lands data has it as one of the worst cards in the set that's isn't actively detrimental or useless
>>98003380Fair enough, I tend to give a bit more weight than the raw data otherwise suggests to any card I've seen win a game, but after 50+ games that does start to lead to random moonshots.
>>98003322Historic pauper
>grixis affinity gutted>jund wildfire untouchedlol lmao
>3k gemmiesstay drafting!
>>97999166>concedeyou full stop every phase and rope that nigger, than quit so the retard plays with his own shit alone
Are there any cards I can run to fetch combo pieces early in Pioneer? I’m running a fundamentally good combo but it can’t all be out until turn 6 at the earliest (and that’s assuming perfect draws) and I keep getting fucked on because of it. I’m running a Mardu midrange deck if that matters. I don’t want to clutter my deck too much with non-creatures/non-damage spells and I already have a few in there to protect my enchantments and fish them back out of the graveyard.
>>98006707Turn 6 is way too slow in pioneer, you'd be better off focusing on being able to interrupt whatever your opponent is up to until you can play whatever janky combo you're using. There are tutors in black but is it better than running thoughtseize and efficient removal?
>>98006707Case of the stashed skeleton, grim tutor, diabolic tutor, idyllic tutor, demonic bargain, wishclaw talisman
>from 0-2 to 5-2Thank god another draft for me
>Lost to fucking Infect in SoS draftNot even mad, just genuinely fucking impressed.
>>98006671I'm not spiteful enough to waste my own time roping someone even if they probably deserve itI'd rather just get into another game and then complain later on a Mongolian throat singing website
>>98005751
yo what the fuck is this lmaoI queued up with a meme deck because my rank is too high and I don't want to go mythic and get long queue times, so I grind some losses. But I don't lose on purpose. So I'm running a deck with:>4 buried treasure>4 gleaming barrier>4 gold pan>4 page, loose leaf>4 ugin>4 fix whats broken>4 enigma jeweland somehow the #441 ranked sweaty nerd lost to me on his annex deckI beat him with gold pans and gleaming barriers
Turn 1 Thoughtseize? fucking blow me faggot
IN WHAT WORLD IS 17 LANDS GOOD IM FLOODING EVERY FUCKING GAME
>>98006909I can run Thoughtseize but then I have to cut some of my Healing Magics, although idk I have a fuckload of lands I guess I could cut from to make room
>>98009130Just cut down to 16 then :)
>>98006707Whats the combo shitlord that would help a lot.
>>98008422Thats the saddest shit ive ever heard. Gleaming barrier is a fucking terrible magic card lmao.
>>98009289The combo in question is Mogis, God of Slaughter + Trespasser’s Curse + Tainted Remedy. The goal isn’t for the combo to be my win con, it’s just there to apply pressure so my aristocrats can get big and their thing. Full decklist:8 Swamp 4 Mountain 4 Plains 2 Evolving Wilds 3 Nomad Outpost 2 Blood Crypt 2 Sacred Foundry 2 Godless Shrine 2 Reconstruct History 1 Sorin, Solemn Visitor 2 Mogis, God of Slaughter 4 Crackling Doom 2 Bloodthirsty Aerialist2 Lightning Helix 3 Trespasser's Curse 3 Boot Nipper2 Qarsi Revenant2 Cast Down2 Valorous Stance1 Aurelia, the Law Above2 Archangel of Thune2 Tainted Remedy3 Restoration Magic
This fat chinese elf is pretty good. I cast Culling Ritual with her out, wiped out opps 6 elf dorks, cast Sheoldred then renewed the Culling ritual back to my hand with the free mana and they conceded immediately.
>>98009845so much fucking mana before you get anythingyou need to spend SEVEN MANAAFTER UNTAPPINGAFTER A CREATURE SURVIVESAFTER HAVING 8+ LANDSAFTER BEING ABLE TO ATTACKAFTER SURVIVING COMBAT BECAUSE SORCERY LOLall that to get to the point its can get more combo pieces than a 2 mana instant speed auroral regrowth that's standard legal or more board presence than an eternal witness
If you could haw swung for lethal three turns in a row while I’m empty-handed and you choose not to just to set up a bigger “fuck you” combo I am gonna rope you on every phase of your last turn, eat shit
Liliana of the Cloth {1WW}Legendary Planeswalker - Liliana{+2}: Each player exiles a card from their hand and seals it. (For as long as it remains exiled, they may play that card. Spells cast this way cost {2} more to cast and lands played this way enter tapped).{-1}: Exile target creature and seal it.{-6}: Target opponent separates all permanents they control into two piles. Exile all permanents from the pile of your choice and seal them.{3 loyalty}
>>98009957I cast it on turn 3 and won the game on turn 4. It enters prepared, you don't need 8 lands or to attack with it.
>I need help working out the kinks in my deck so I can get this combo out and win more reliably>“hurr durr it would help to know the combo dipshit”>okay here’s the combo and the rest of the decklist also>no response for hoursWhat’s the fucking point
You were given advice, retardFrankly your deck is utter dogshit and you're very lost running draft chaff in an eternal formatListen to the people who have been here longer than you or piss off
These pauper Midweeks makes me sad on the fact that we don’t have an actual pauper ladder on Arena.A man can dream…
>>980095974x thoughseize4x Fatal PushSome amount of Get Lost or Erode maybe. Sheoldred's Edict instead of Crackling Doom. But honestly, this is some serious jank. I'm not surprised you keep getting your shit pushed in. Cast down is not good in pioneer with Greasefangs and Sheoldreds in every other deck. Go for the Throat is the standard, even Shoot the Sheriff would be a better choice. Boot Nipper is a wild choice, find a better 2 drop.
>>98009845idk, i think all of them are just a bit too slow. You cast it on t3, then need to wait another turn to cast the spell, and that spell is then taking 2 of your mana...
How do i learn to draft? New mtg player here. What do you start with? How many lands? In general how do you know the card is good for draft
>>98010182>>98010259This and also eat that guys cum do it now. Some of us sleep retard.
I had fun in a draft today.
>>98010655Yea I didn't think much of it either but Emeritus of Cake plays out better than I expected. If I have her and a better creature out you basically have to kill her before you can take out the better creature or I'll just get it back and play it out again.
>>98010841There's sites that can bury you up to your eyeballs in raw data like "percentage of players who won the game after having card X in their hand" but for a very new player your best bet is going to be using a site like scryfall to look at the entire set so you know what the cards are and what they do, and then drafting. Typically you want a 40 card deck with roughly 23 spells and 17 lands, and most of your spells should be creatures. Try to draft a curve where most of your spells cost 2-3 mana with a smaller number of cheaper and more expensive spells. Sets these days are made with very explicit draft lanes where a small number of color combinations have mechanical support, so as long as you stay in one of those lanes there's a pretty high floor of basic functionality.Beyond that, the single best way to learn to draft and see what cards are effective is to draft a bunch. Watch videos of other people drafting. Think about what happened differently in games you won vs. games you lost, and try to distinguish between results-oriented thinking and natural variance in outcomes.
>>98010841Outside of niche cases, you'll probably want 17 lands. Other than that, it can vary a lot. They list the draft archetypes for each set in the events now, you'll want to look through those. Usually it's safe to build along those lines. You'll learn good cards through experience, basically stuff that affects the board at a decent rate will be good.
>>98010841You draft a card of each mana value up to five and repeat until you have a deck and play 16-17 lands make sure its all creatures and you should win every game.
>>98010357Pauper's very creature centric from what I've seen, quite fun
Refer to filename for FUN DECK

>>98009957>this creature enters preparedreading the card explains the card, retard
>>98013717NTA and unrelated to your postBut are there any advantages to a creature having an exhaust ability compared to a prepared spell? Both are shut down by the same stuff (Pithing Needle or Cursed Totem) but casting a prepared spell activates all non-creature synergies while activating an ability synergies with fuckall
>>98013717and reading the post explains the post, retardNow go read the card againNow go read the post againNow go read the card againNow go read the post again>all that to get to the point its can get more combo pieces than a 2 mana instant speed auroral regrowth that's standard legal or more board presence than an eternal witnessFor 3 mana you can get a 2/1 body + regrowthFor 2 mana you can get regrowth at instant speedThis is 5 mana for a 3/4 body + regrowth which is a pointless upgrade over witness, so you need to pay SEVEN mana before you've something that does more than those optionsAnd that means you need to:>pay 7 mana>untap with this easily killable creature>have it survive combat>have 8 lands out>over the course of 2+ turns minimum, 3+ if you want to do it before turns 5/6Just because it enters prepared doesn't mean the first cast is free retard, it takes 7 mana to regrowth 2 cards
>>98013180problem is that its red/blue, if it was white/black nobody would be playing it, but they just must print cancer red/blue cards
WIZAAAAAARDS!!WHAT THE FUCK IS THIIIIIS MARK!?

Im telling you this is a real contender deckexopponent plague winds my board for 3 manaI go into turn 4 with nothing on board and a plotted trailblazer>cast trailblazer to ramp into michelangelo's technique>pop off and win on the spotStorm is backIt worksIt can cobble together a win through removal
everyone is forcing multicolour soup now, getting cut off from removal in every direction.have to win against the odds with dogshit creatures and a weird reanimation angle.
>>98013886>>all that to get to the point its can get more combo pieces than a 2 mana instant speed auroral regrowth that's standard legal or more board presence than an eternal witnessNah this is way better than witness. I can just cast it on turn 2 or 3 and not have to worry about having something in my graveyard, it's a good size body to stop early game aggression, vigilance is great, and if it sticks around you have to kill it before you kill my Dellian Fel or Sheoldred that I play the next turn. Witness just sits in your hand in the early game, this needs to be answered, it doesn't even matter if you get a second Regrowth cast, or even a first one.
>>98014727Witness is better in low curve decks where you can flicker it with stuff like Phelia or tutor it up with GSZ
>>98014981Yea they both have their place.
>>98014727This card will be forgotten about by next weeketernal witness will be eternalPaying 3 mana for a 3/4 body isn't remotely competitive in any format right now and is a total joke, you will literally die before you untap in standard if you try that. We already have a 6/6 for 3 mana and it won't stop any of the aggro decks swinging into you nor will it kill their planeswalker hidden behind a million tokens2 mana for regrowth and 3 mana for regrowth + 2/1 body are both playable competent cards, and we already have one of those in standard and its not seeing any play. Now we've got a dumb 3/4 for 3 in a format where a 3 drop in green will be a 64/64 trample on turn 4 and kill the opponent in 1 hit through any number of blockersMaybe you can use the {1G} regrowth on this piece of shit to cycle it for a real card lmao
>>98015036It's being played in standard and Pioneer right nowhttps://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/7768454#paperhttps://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/7765912#arena
He killed 3 creatures of mineI went into turn 5 with nothing on board, no plotted cardsAll I did to start this turn was tap out and cast technique on an empty board
>>98013886>after surviving combatyou don't fucking know how the card works and all your seething is proof you're butthurt about being a retard
You like Emeritus of Abundance because it potentially generates infinite value and degenerate combosI like Emeritus of Abundance because I want to have sex with herWe are not the same
>daily challenge is "Kill 15 opposing creatures">decide to play some Brawl with a shitty deck>win 15 games in a row>6/15 creatures killed
I find it funny how everyone decided that Witherbloom is the worst archetype in draft, so people ignore it so much that I get constructed level synergy and had something like 5 trophies already out of 10 drafts. The downside is that I draft on arena solely to get better at LGS drafts and I basically get no experience with other archetypes, or I force it and lose because everyone else tries to build BW/RW too.
>>98015036damn, you're stupidit's one card with two spells in it, with a potential to create more free spells out of thin air. it's good, it'll be played for years
>>98015991READING THE CARD EXPLAINS THE CARD RETARDYou CANNOT get a second cast of regrowth without it surviving combat. You can only use it once. That makes it a 5 mana eternal witness with a 3/4 body, which is awful.For it to actually become a value engine you NEED to get at least 2+ casts of regrowth>Whenever this creature attacks, if you control eight or more lands, this creature becomes prepared>Regrowth: SORCERYTo get more than one cast, you need it to survive combat. It has to attack as a 3/4, survive, then cast post-combat. And only if you have 8+ lands. And only after costing 7 total mana.Nobody would play a 5 mana eternal witness, its a fucking shit card and will be forgotten as soon as the meta settles down
>bo3>ranked opponent>g1, attrocious land draw, get angry, rope the fucker whole game, while browsing interwebs for 30 min>g2, somehow pull out a surprise win>g3, attrocious draw for my opponenti swear, this game rewards assholes
>>98016684>It's worse than a card that's not legal in Standard and Pioneer...we have a genius here...
if you tap out to cast resonating lute on turn 4 in a control deck you should be slappedwhats wrong with you
>>98016754>>98013886Its worse than a card that's legal in standard and pioneeer
>>98016769What, auroral procession? It is not worse than off colour card? You need to play blue in a graveyard deck to cast it. It's practically useless. Fat chink is 3/4 with Vigilance for 3 mana. That alone isn't bad. Regrowth is a bonus. People need to deal with fat chink, or it'll draw a card next turn. With other threats on board that's not that bad. It can also fit into green/black, green/white, green/red...
>>98016816> Fat chink is 3/4 with Vigilance for 3 mana. That alone isn't bad.Yes it is, its fucking horrible>People need to deal with fat chink, or it'll draw a card next turn. Or they just swing for lethal through it. They let you waste your mana on a single ground blocker that is absolutely non-threatening and will drain you with mana inefficiency on further turns. You tap out turn 3 and spend half your mana turn 4 and you've just got a 3/4 that cantrippedYou realize that this shitty fat elf has less board growth and grinding threat than Alquist Proft? Another forgotten meme card. Yes you can pay 3 mana for a 3/3 vigilance body and on a future turn you can pay {2} to cantrip him. Except if you had 8 lands on board, proft would be threatening to draw 5 cards and gain 5 life and repeat it the next turn. Not just replace himself.We're in a turn 3-4 kill standard where these cards are all fucking shit because you need to deal with a 64 power trample swinging into you or a guy popping off with 40 mana of spells on turn 3 or a deterministic combo kill on turn 4 or whatever else.the top end upside of this fat elf staying alive on board is less efficient at refueling your hand than a fucking mazemind tome, hell mono blue has a 2 mana artifact that gets {T}: Draw a card. This guy sticking to a board is less snowbally than a 2 mana Inti
>>98016857>legendary>off colour>3/3cmon...
>>98016866We already have mono green 3 drops that can produce card advantage without spending 5+ mana doing it>outcaster trailblazer>hauntwoods shrieker>freestrider lookout>afterburner expert>sentinel of lost lore>surrak elusive hunter>traveling chocobo>outcaster greenblade>reclamation sage>summon: fenrirIn a fast standard where you vomit out creatures and swing for lethal, guess what, mana efficiency is the single most important characteristic. Eternal witness might not be legal but we've got an even more mana efficient card when you're curving out in aggrogee that's;>5 mana for a 3/4 + regrowthor>2 mana for a 2/1 + nature's spiralHell we have an unconditional 4 mana for a 4/3 + nature's spiral legal right now and nobody is playing that shit, and Elvish Regrower is a huge upside over Gravedigger lmao
>>98016947oh and that's not even mentioning how blown the fuck out sorcery speed "prepared" reverse-adventures get by control decks running authority of the consuls or any other etb triggers, or if the green deck is running its own triggers>You wait all the way to 6 mana to cast your fat elf bitch because you want to both get past No More Lies and be able to cast Regrowth before I can remove it>fat elf bitch resolves>enters tapped and I gain 1 life from authority>while authority trigger is on the stack, I simply kill it with Sear>dead elf, no chance to castShould call that the Niko Aris effect lmao
what do i cut?
>>98016947tell me how are you dropping this, while also having 3 creatures on the board? and it only activates while having 3 creatures on the board? i'll take fat elf over it everytime.

You may not like it but this is what peak win condition looks like
>>98017332Every earthbent land counts as a creature. It only needs 2 other creatures on board unless they have instant removal in response.Your board could be completely empty except a badgermole cub + 1/1 earthbent land and this would be activated, returning your icetill explorer to hand and letting you keep popping offYou can activate a ba sing se for +1 creature and pop this right away

>>97997075What's a good guide for someone new who wants to brew decks? I usually play penny dreadful, but sometimes can't find matches, etc., so i wanted to try arena out, but I'm guessing i'll have to spend a bunch of money/time in the game in order to brew more than 1 deck per rotation. Is there a guide to building a good collection that's updated? I can pay may be 10 bucks a month, but i'm not willing to put much more money in digital untradable cardboard.
>>98018765Draft and constructed events both fire almost instantly, and if you're good enough you can go infinite on currency. Cracking packs is the best way to get both cards and wildcards, and drafting is the best way to get packs. Unfortunately like you said there's really no way to build a war chest beyond spending money and time.

It finds its pieces, its fizzle rate is low

wish i had crafted dimir excruciator instead of midrange
just stopping by to gawk at how something with no shame left can somehow find ways to be even more shameless.how can you people stomach this dogshit?
>>98026317idk i just do
I just do the 4 wins/day unless there's a special event going on
I play this shitfest drunk or while im at work and its ok
Look at my wildcards.
Can someone please spoon-feed me how to get good at drafting. I'm so fucking tired of going 0-3
>>98027733Start by categorizing cards by BREAD (Bombs, Removal, Evasion, Aggro, and Duds).
>>98027778That sorta worked 15 years ago but these days most draft environments are heavily based on synergy. You can have a GB deck full of reasonable cards but they want to be in GU, RG, UB, and RB so none of them actually do anything.
>>98027924I think you just have to learn what the draft archetypes are for a set before playing so you can try to build them or at least recognize what each color is trying to do and build around them.
>>98027733Ignore the other guy, BREAD is outdated. You want to read up on quadrant theory and be able to identify cards that are always good vs cards that require synergy.
>>98027733Ignore the other guys, you want to learn about hypergeometric distribution and utilize probabilities to your advantage. Learning proper deck construction will win you games better than any heuristic.
just open bombs lol
>>98027733stop doing premier draft if you have no idea what you're doing. you waste ungodly amounts of resources going 0-3 in premier and you get way fewer opportunities to practicerun quick drafts with 17lands open and look at the cards in your pack. look at what they all do, and decide which ones you think are good and why they're good. then compare your ideas with 17lands data. its not perfect, but you should start seeing patterns of which cards are good and which ones are not. you are now learning what tends to make a card good in limiteda head start: cards are good when they impact the board. making stats and removing stats are the best things you can do in a vacuum. you also want cards that can generate card advantage within the framework of adding to the board. so divination is unplayable dogshit because it doesn't make or remove stats, but something like ravenous chupacabra is goated because it makes stats while also going 2-for-1
>>98028107The main issue with trying to learn in quick draft is that the bots aren't trying to build decks, and one of the true secrets of improving at draft is both figuring out what lanes are open and also learning to rely on cards which are good or even great in your deck but other players won't want. It does little good to learn card evaluation in a vacuum without being in the environment where that evaluation is tested. I'd recommend watching draft videos at that point just to build card familiarity and heuristics over quick draft.
>>98028146you sound like a sharkif this person is usually going 0-3, premier is just setting 10k gold on fire for nothing and feeding people like you free gems. its extremely demoralizing to completely wash out of a premier run and you don't want to learn to get better in those conditions. quick draft won't teach you how to draft for real, but it will teach you some foundational skills while also giving confidence/morale boosts since its not hard for even complete noobs to go 3-3 in quick draft. once a person is consistently doing well (5+ wins) they can start weaving in premier runs to practice real drafting
>>98028333Sorry if I was unclear, I completely agree with you that premier draft doesn't make sense for them right now, I just personally don't think that quick draft is helpful. Not sure how much of that is spite for how many sets were exclusively bot drafting before Arena unfucked itself a little, but I do think the fact that lanes are a lot muddier means the skills don't translate much beyond card familiarity. It's possible sealed might be a good choice and that's typically where I recommend people start, but it's also a bit of a mess these days because the high synergy environment means it's a lot harder to just cobble together whatever commons and uncommons are in the same color as your two best rares and hope for a functional deck.
>>98028353>I just personally don't think that quick draft is helpfulah ok. that's fair but you gotta start somewhere. QD is like how we teach kids in grade school stuff that isn't technically wrong, but does get replaced by fuller concepts in high school/university. >sealed might be a good choice and that's typically where I recommend people startonly issue with sealed is its gem only entry, and how tf are you gonna get gems without drafting? if you could buy in with gold, I'd 100% agree but asking someone to swipe just to start learning limited is a bit too much
>>98028421Fucking hell, has it always been gem only? That's a racket then. Like, I'm no saint, I've probably put $250 or so into gems at this point over the past three years but that's also pretty directly money that I didn't put into paper magic as a result, and I still have a war chest of 25k gems so $100 of that I haven't even used. For a new player? Fuck that man. I get MTG all but invented the TCG model that was used as the prototype for lootboxes et al but c'mon.
Say something nice about me :^)

>>98038635I get Mythic every month with my jank deck, but I've become really good at recognising and dodging cursed matchupsThe good part about people playing the same 5/6 decks is that they're basically bots who will play out their cards in the most predictable way possible, so it's very very easy to play around them

Ah well there go all my gemmys and gold, I'm almost completely penniless nowThere's an argument to be made that one probably should not play on their free day if they're tilted as fuck after the first two games, but it's also true that 99% of gamblers stop before they go 7-0It's especially funny because I felt like most of my decks were ok-ish at least, I consistently had decent synergies and ok cards in most of them (at least in EOE) but I simply got flooded way too much, it was almost comical at timesI technically have enough gemmies for one last quick draft, but>tried playing greedy 4 colour soup slop>oppo plays Potioner's Trove on t3>drops a 5 colour Arcane Omens on t4I think that's a clear sign I should move on to Brawl or some shit

Hey kid can I interest you in some big time jank?
why didnt wotc ever make an actual “standards greatest hits” format thats modern borders but your entire deck list has to have actually been simultaneously standard legal
lmao this fucking opponentI am on>dragonstorm, capstone, quintorius, applied geometric, carnosaur, motherlode>36 land deckHe has turn 2 high noon and turn 3+ disruption every turnI won by doing nothing but making fish with fountainport and attacking in each turn, holding up carnosaurs to remove his aangs/aven. Eventually he got desperate and cast one as a blocker and I killed it and got quint down at the same time>You will never resolve another spell this game.decvs>lmao make a fish on your end step
>>98056652>why didnt wotc ever make...>a version of pioneer that somehow fewer people would play
Think you'd call that a side quest completed. It was mostly generic spells control, diary of dreams is goated, but I did get to cast two spells off codie in my games, and he ate a bit of removal that could've gone better places.
bros nobody told me RDW was actually fun to play what the fuck

Chances of making it to Mythic with this jank?
>>98059138People have made it to mythic with starter decks that are played by a bot which just drops the leftmost playable card in hand every turn. With the way Arena works it's more a matter of time that you can spend. Gets easiest late in the month.
>>98059163It's too easy late in month. I'm looking at getting there sooner, so I can play even greater jank in mythic for a while.
>>98059138Return the Favor is such as shit card, though. I'm trying to make it work, and it just doesn't do a thing most of the time. It's always one mana too expensive. Or it can be cast in response to opponent, and won't do a thing.
Puzzle time.Can we win this this turn?Opponent isn't stupid, he blocks both Claws.
>>98059308Assuming I'm reading the board correctly and the Hired Claws haven't triggered yet:You've already fucked up - Before attacks burst lightning the pawpatch recruit. Emberheart becomes a 3/3. It doesn't matter where their +1/+1 counter goes. Swing with all creatures. Opponent goes to 5 from Hired Claw triggers.Opponent blocks both claws and the challenger. Pump the hired claw that isn't blocked by soulstone sanctuary. Opponent goes to 3 from Razorkin Needlehead.Use Burn Together to sacrifice one of your 3-power creatures.
>>98059308>>98059371yes, claws didn't trigger
>>98059371you're right. attack with everyone, burst pawpatch. emberheart dies, razorkin dies, one hired is blocked, the other pumps to 3 and takes opponent to 2, then Burn Together. -1
>>98059308seems pretty straightforward?hired claws will trigger, opp at 5razorkin will trigger on their draw, opp at 4just point kicked burst lightning at them and they're deador you could do some meme shit with challenger and burn together I guess
WHY DOES ARENA TAKE TREASURES BEFORE MANA IN MY FUCKING MANA POOLNO WONDER HASBRO PAYS YOU RETARDS NOTHING YOU CANT EVEN CODE BASIC SHIT
>>98059745The autotapper is weird sometimes, it's why I have it set to suggest a payment but doesn't just autopay
>>98059308Claws were already activated.ResultsClaws blocked. +7Burst Lightning to his life. +5Burn Together on Embereart took Emberheart to 4/4. +1It activated Emberheart and it drew me another Burst Lightning that took him to -1.I forgot to mention that opponent had no cards in hand. So +1 would be enough, since Razorkin would take him to 0 on card draw. I just calculated for that and went with it. 2nd Burst Lightning was a gift.
>>98059413i am stupid, claws did trigger
>>98059138Got it. I didn't notice that season ends in 14 days, so nothing special about it.I did get in at 97%, so I guess that deck isn't that bad. I previously played 3 Maelstom Artisans instead of Fear of Being Hunted, and it's not nearly as effective. Fear can take out a lot of things by forcing things to block it. Fun deck, stealing 6/6 demons for win is great entertainment.Some winscreens:
Excuse the blog, I haven't played in a while and I don't lurk, so most of what I say isn't new to anyone paying attention. I played Green/Black Rock in Pioneer for three days. Went from Bronze to Mythic. Started with a bog-standard Rock netdeck and then altered it into the abomination it is here. https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/16-05-26-black-rock/?cb=1778972816I typically like black midrange decks cause that resembles older styles of play, so I shelled out rares and mythic rare wildcards I got from a hot streak in draft.My thoughts:>LandsGod, I hate wizards making lands worth a rare slot, cause it is so neccessary to shill out. I started with 4 mutavauls and no overgrown tombs, but I had to make a change cause the beginning of the game is too fucking tight. I know Blooming Marsh is good, but I need mana untapped for turn four and five. If I were to make the best deck possible I'd have this exact same deck, but with less basic lands. >Badger Mole CubSo, is Badger Mole Cub good? No. I was very disappointed. True there were some games where the earthbending was relevant, but I felt like it just wasn't good enough. I would rather have threats.>Delian FelSurprisingly solid. Acted like a better priced Veraska, which is tight. >PollukrinousIt has been a while since it came out, but I still love this nigga.>MatchupsI still get eaten alive by 5 color Nig to Light.Sometimes G/W hatebearers get me.Overall, every other matchup felt fair or in my favor. Especially against other black decks, I feel the adjustments I made have always made a difference. Glissa is still good. >Did I have fun?No. Magic is still way too fast and even playing Rock, I had a hard time slowing the game down. That and the shuffler is fucked. Half of my losses were that the top twenty cards on my library were either 2 lands or 13 lands. Anyways, see you all in another 3 months
grok summarize that post
Is the battle pass the best thing i can get with gems?
>>98061124Yes, it's always the first thing you get
>>98030082>>98061263same person
My wife doesn't play pioneer, xhe only plays alchemy formats and sometimes limited
After much harassment, my brother got me to log in to arena after a year or two of absence. I got gifted 14 billion packs for some reason, and with the various wildcards I have put together a generic mono green landfall tifa lockhart deck. I love my waifu swinging for 32 t4.
>>98060597Badger is fantastic. Remember that two Badgers mean 3 mana from a single mana creature. Things get out of hand fast with this. It needs a bit specific builds, but fits in many decks. The thing is that people are just ready for it now. They no longer spend burn spells on Llanowar Elves, but save them for Badger. They carry board removal, and know how to deal with Badger decks.And yes. Shuffler is rigged. If you play enough games it evens up in your favour, but then it feels like you're being gifted games.
>>98060597>is Badger Mole Cub good? No.opinion immediately discarded. 2 mana "remove this immediately or lose, and even if you do I still have a free 1/1" is the floor. if you play a t1 mana dork, you can take a 4 mana turn 2 even if they have instant speed removal for cub, and if you ever get more than 1 cub in play you're like tripling your mana
>>98060597>So, is Badger Mole Cub good? No.It would be a really good creature without the earthbending part; a Leyline of Abundance that doesn't brick as muchBut such a strong mana accelerator in a deck that already runs only must-remove threats?
>>98062929I use it on escape tunnel for extra landfalls, love that lil cub
>cruelclaw's heist, stealing kavaero from opponent's hand after he milled his piecesevery fucking time lmaoI have won so many games in this exact manner
This is my best of one deck. It is for all intents and purposes perfect. My only question is should I run the card "Case of the Stashed Skeleton"?
>matched against wotc employee in draft>mana screwed
Is there ANY other card that can actually work here>no scrollshift>no etali>no eiganjoI miss pre-rotation but yeahalso yes I'm missing 1x lindblum, need 1 more wildcard. Don't think there's any reason to run stomping groundbut am I overlooking something, is there any viable clone/flicker effect I'm not thinking ofI tried mistrise village and more blue. Sucks, doesn't work, control can counter your 2nd spell anyway, takes 7 mana to ram through a token making planeswalker.could run cori mountain or ba sing se, sing se making blockers or threatening control but people are building around blowing out earthbending too oftenmaybe branch of vitu ghazi would be worth it
Broken rares, free trophy. Multiple group projects are what really carries it though.
>>980656334th game in a row of missing land dropsfuck this rigged shuffler fuck it to death fuck it how the fuck is this even possible even by its own demented bullshit
>>98065851Just looking at that I see that you're slow as fuck. First spells that you can cast comes at t3, and it's 3 damage for 3 mana??? That's really weak now. You need something to slow opponents turns. That's main thing.
>>98066001Its a one card combo. You either survive to turn 4 with a ramp or turn 5 with blockers, or you loseAnd sometimes you buy time in the most ridiculous ways possible
>>98062876>>98062929>>98063309I've seen a green devotion deck pop off with it, and I have seen g/w uraboriod decks REALLY pop off with badger mole, but the gameplay experience I got playing with it in Rock was not good. Answered or unanswered, I didn't like it. Badger mole offers a lot to ramp decks, because if you turn one elf into turn two badger mole, it offers 7 mana. The payoffs for rock are 4-5 mana. The typical Rock list doesn't have a great use of the ramp either since most lists don't have elf (i do), because going from turn two to turn 4 doesn't offer a lot, since the first three turns should be dedicated to disruption and fighting off the tempo of the opponent. You don't go BIGGER, you just wrestle control of the board and stabilize creating a sizable advantage in board presence and answers in your hand. Badgermole does WIN games by itself, it enables other cards to win games better, but that doesn't help in rock. Rock doesn't speed to an early win, it needs answers and stabilizing. The way I built the deck, I have a couple elves for the offchance to go from turn one to turn three, which is substantial cause I can get Glissa or Annex off and then go back to disrupting and answering the opponent, but that's not main goal of the deck, so there isn't much of a focus there. Badger Mole is NOT a four of main deck for Rock. It's not a staple that green decks should slot in. Maybe if it is a genuine built around strat, maybe, but I just find it underwhelming. The only fun I had with it is, putting it on mutavault and then punking someone into blocking only to then activate mutivault. That and the time I drew four of them and nothing else and managed to squeak past the finish line against an orzov deck that was just about to mount a comeback
>>98066694you're just objectively wrong. every single golgari deck that's putting up results in pioneer is running playsets of cub and elfyou coming back after years with gigadumpster mmr and climbing to mythic means nothing
>>98066750whoops scratch elf, I'm drunk and mixing up pioneer and standard. but cub is still 4x in literally every list
>>98062929Cub isn't a must-remove in Pio unless you're on control. Both aggro and fang outrace it.>>98066750Cub isn't good without elves
#4 mythic playing lumra (the best deck o algo)Oops!
>>98066859>Cub isn't good without elveswell then you should tell that to the people putting up results, since you clearly know better than them
>>98066694Yea I've been pretty underwhelmed with badgermole in these decks in both standard and pioneer. They are almost always just a removal magnet and there really isn't anything huge worth ramping into if you get out multiples.
>>98067049>well then you should tell that to the people putting up resultsThey're on elves though
98067067lollmaofind 1 (one) (uno) pioneer list running any elves at allno (You) for you faggot

>"find one list">I do>"ackshually it doesn't count or something">>98067144Reg
>>98067049That's because Rock is good even without badger mole. This is like saying Taking Turns was a good deck because of Serum Visions. Like, yes it is in the deck, but it was broken because of Mystic Sanctuary.

>>98069027If you try to craft the banned cards on ban day the pinkertons show up and confiscate your account and kill you by hitting you in the head and throwing you off a building just like they did to Trevor Moore look it up.
>>98069147>all this for a couple of cardswtf why did nobody tell meyou know how much I've paid whores to do exactly that
Bastards are banning commons again, and not main combo pieces. Despicable.
>>98069597They went over the reasoning. Vivi already got nerfed and they want the playstyle of that deck to exist, The Sewer-veillance Cam was just too reliable of an untap engine.
>>98069652It's bastard move. They did the same shit with Omniscience,Heartfire Hero and Up the Beanstalk. Mythics stay unless they're really too strong, they quickly ban support pieces. Whenever they print least one useful common/uncommon, it's quickly banned so resellers and scalpers can jew their ware.
>>98069597Its hilarious vivi is still so busted after a huge nerf they ban a common. Fucking clown game for retards.
>>98069886>Vivi got a huge nerfNot even. Sidegrade at worst.
>>98070147Why would they remove the sorcery-speed restriction and turn limit if they knew Vivi was a problem? I realize Alchemy is a meme format but untapping shit isn't hard.
Izzet not doing so good without cutter lol
>>98067052>They are almost always just a removal magnetAnd that's not bad by itself. Mono, or primarily green decks, have a lot of threats. If removal is sepnt on Badger, then maybe Hydra and Icetill with get through. Or Earthbender will make Seth Chocobo into 20/21. There's Ouroborid and Harmonizer, Travelling Chocobo, Tiffa, Ba Sing se, Baloth, Nature's Rythm.....
>>98070555Yea I still run it in my decks, there really isn't anything better for the slot and the ramp isn't entirely pointless, you can unlock both doors on Annex on turn four with a good draw. And really the deck wants to be casting fatal push, thoughtseize or duress on turn 1. Getting your 3 drops down on turn two is a solid play with elves, but the extra body with badgermole and earthbending mutavault is usually very useful.
>>98070147>>98070248Oh shit i guess i didnt know how it changed because vivi is for faggots and alchemy is for dysgenic retards my bad. They really cant even balance cards or do anything anymore fucking morons.
>>98070555ps. I'm not playing Badger in a BG decks at all. He really only fits in primarily green decks. Black earthbended land won't give BB, but BG, and that can mean a lot to the speed of the deck. Proffessor needs lifelink support, so Badger is unneeded extra. Discard decks are fast, and don't need that much mana as well.
Landfall more like Landfag amirite fellas

>>98072066kek. I had two games recently with a fresh jank deck, where I drew practically every single land in my deck. I outright emptied all my lands with Icetill, and somehow I still drew lands three times on my draw phase. It was somwhere in the range of 100-1 chance to draw a land. Rigger still gave me lands.Another case. I stole/copied my opponents Emeritus - Ancestral Recall with Return the Favour. Drew six cards. Drew four land.
Problem?
>plot le bird>never actually plan to play it>Izzetroon plays with mana open for 10 turns in a row>can feel the counterspells rotting in his feeble shaking hands>gets chipped down by le monke>finally plays a card>dies to kicked lightningConsider playing creatures
>>98072068Cool story broski tell us how it goes
Is golgari control dead?
>>98074519that's a big deck
>>98067498why didn't they just use the Exhaust keyword then? same thing with the mild mannered librarian?
>>98072068>i will go out with a girl 2 decades younger than meposter is a 26 year old btw
>>98074902Maro taught us not to be ashamed of our decks, 'specially since they're such good size and all
>>98074918Even in cases where it's germane they tend not to use keywords for one-off mechanics, especially ones like Exhaust that have explicit rules synergy (i.e. Afterburner Expert or Pit Automaton).
https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/mtg-arena/marvel-super-heroesNo more Omenpaths
>>98075575That's a shame. It was a clumsy solution to a self-inflicted problem, and I know they ran into semi-serious issues where Arena players went looking for paper Omenpaths cards rather than Spider-Man, but I still preferred the veneer even if it felt forced at times. I know Universes Within was always a shallow promise they never intended to fulfill but it still bites.
R.I.P Fleem
>>98072068draw a gf meme of her
>>98075877They're going to stick around as styles in Arena but yeah don't expect any more Fleem cards in the future
>>98074785i want to gf her so bad it's unrealshe's just as mentally ill as i am and she's also into me but her parents may be a problemstill first things first i'm gonna dick her and we see were we go from there
>>98076393Get her into magic and tell her to post here, we could use a new threadgirl
>>98069597You'd be screwing people out of their money/wildcards by banning combo pieces.
arenaniggers btfo
>>98076470she's more a playing with dolls kinda girl than playing with cards (despite being way past that age, and the dolls are those japanese figures you sick fuck)i invited her to play magic but she'd rather play with her figures. it's over (for you)
>>98070248apparently they liked people winning on turn 3 by taking a 20 minute turn dropping vivi, playing wild ride, and then tapping him and untapping him 3 billion times while drawing out their entire deck
Fuck this card man. Just absolutely takes over games. I scoop when I see it and im behind.
Have they said when vintage cube is coming back?
You guys got any cheap decks for climbing in standard ranked? I play an mono-white lifegain deck but also wanted to try something else, the problem is that that deck already dried out my mythics and rares.
>>98077984black discard can be cheap. Shredder's Revenge is common. as are many discard cards.
Day 2429 without Lava Dart on MTGA.We Will Keep The Count Going.
Hey Arena bros I just heard about Spider-Man finally properly coming to this shitty ass client, and the first thing I heard a female say about it was that she would literally start playing just for that. So the likelihood that your penis will be touched by a woman some day has gone up by about 0.001%. Congratulations. Just thought you all should know.
