what is this card doing on arena
>>95944541Its not in the deck builder so it must have been from a conjure card probably the dragon guy i dunno nigga
>>95944541>>95944697not him but conjure cards should have the alchemy symbol
>>95943980sometimes but generally no
>>95944715Well like i said its not in the deckbuilder so theres only one or two other effects that could put it into play or your hand or whatever i assume its conjured and i said i dunno nigga.
>>95941645 (OP)i've accepted the FF set since I don't know shit about FF so it may as well be an original plane to me + it's nothing that wouldn't fit in like swords and wizards and shit. But this fucking Spiderman set is gonna be so fucked up. I can't see it working at all.
>>95943980I play it a lot but like the others have said it's hard to find people playing creative builds. Plus everyone is a fucking baby who scoops if you remove their commander even one time
>>95944935well, this is your lucky day then. jotc got outkiked by disney, so they weren't able to get the rights for spiderman to be used on arena. which now means that they'll have create mirror cards that don't reference anything spiderman IP-related just for arena. meaning that people that play both paper and arena will have to learn all the cards in the set twice over.
>>95944963Special guests and alchemy have permanently ruined the format
>>95941645 (OP)>TQStandard
Ban Rage and Cori
Alchemy
Nerf Cori by increasing cost to 2R
>>95944972lmao i didn't know that, it's gonna be interesting to see the differences. Are the cards just gonna be reskins?
>>95944980i'm sure it's unpopular to say here but i don't mind alchemy in the confines of brawl, I try not to play them myself but it doesn't make me seethe like it does in historic.
>>95945066they'll be mechanically identical, so wizards will have to find ways to make in-universe versions of creature type combos such as "spider human hero", "goblin human villain" and "symbiote villain".

got a pretty killer draft deck. I ended up mulliganning almost every round, but I still went 3-0 (traditional). I never got to cast clive or gilgamesh even once, but it turns out that doesn't matter when you can regularly get 4+ pinging wizards out.
>>95943980historic brawl, at least, is a really tuned and powerful format, which disincentivizes being creative somewhat. decks will usually lock down their win condition by roughly turn 3 in the format, whether it be tifa decks using fetches and buff spells to kill you in one attack or ugin/etali decks ramping into their game-ending threats. Most decks are also pretty linear, being based around doing one strategy very consistently at the expense of losing to anything that disrupts that; it's kind of boring. What
>>95944963 posted, for example, happens often, but it's usually less about the opponent being a baby and more that the tempo loss from their commander being countered/removed is often immediately game-losing.
I do think you can find fun in brawl, but you have to either be good at deckbuilding or accept that you'll just get stepped on by people playing linear glass-cannon decks.
>>95945449After drawing like 6 lands in a row in quick draft I'm never doing BO1 again. Glad you did well.
>>95946138Fuck I can't read. Sorry.
standard is so bad right now
>>95944972This is such a bad idea that I honestly think the movie for WotC should be to apologize and say that this set won't be Standard legal or legal in any sanctioned format, but will be treated the same as an Un-set. The Commander players can always houserule them in if they feel like it.
>>95946271>the moviemove*
>Playing gil in brawl
>keep getting roped
I literally do nothing but ramp and maybe use a couple of kill spells, what is there to be salty about
Sometimes when I destroy my opponents lands in standard this little weird bar with an hourglass appears next to the opponent's name and I can't keep taking my turn and the game kind of freezes up
often for minutes at a time
what does that mean?
Why is this game full of wiggers in fitted caps now?

>>95946271the real move would be to just tell marvel to fuck off, and that they should come back when their digital card game (snap) is dead. which might happen soon enough anyway, considering they're going through a pretty big controversy right now.
>>95947613all these digital card games are destined to be short term projects, doesn't matter how big an IP they have behind them.
>>95944972That sounds so fucking retarded I can't wait for all the YouTube videos about it.
>>95944972how much you wanna bet they're going to use AI to make the art for the digital-only universes within cards?
1st draft after not having played in a while, thoughts? what's the cuts/swaps?
>>95948072God just look at how brazen these soiboys are. They're fully aware of what's happening to our game to pander to people like them and they just plain do not care. Literally: "if you actually like Magic then get fucked, I like buying product why are you so mad at me? You don't even like Magic if you don't like Universes Beyond." You'll never find a more disgusting sense of entitlement outside of the Marvel fandom.

Alright so assuming they ban rage AND manifold mouse how dead is my mono red mice deck? I assume it will still be playable to some degree. But what do I swap in for those 2? Opera might be ok in place of rage but what even replaces manifold? I only started near the start of tarkir so just building a whole new tier 1 is not a very likely outcome for me.
>>95948972mice will be fine (sadly), it's just rage + cori that are going.
but if you have to stop playing the mice deck it would probably be good for you, you might get a chance to actually learn to play magic
>>95948999Honestly I find mice boring. I built them on a whim cause I liked the way they looked. I was actually going to full on white-red them but then I found out thats theres a tier 1 deck for them. Lucky me. My wildcards since then went into a mill deck which I adore to play, but its kinda shit in ranked. So I ranked up with mice and use it for the odd daily but my mill deck is my main deck. Bonus to the mice is how fuckin fast the games are. I can churn through daily wins and the like 10mins if I dont really wanna play much that day. Good to hear I can still use it after the bans. Also free wildcards is nice to.
>>95948072the professor already made it one, where he essentially said that this set has caused "an irreparable rift between paper and online magic".
>>95948155i imagine they'll look as shitty as your average alchemy card.
Just put in a fuck huge order with some proxy website, spent all yesterday making alt arts for my generals(pic related is one) im very excited bros
>>95949077I don't understand the appeal of the bimbo fetish. Fake tits are gross and filled lips are even worse.
>>95949085To each there own anon
Recently started playing again, but this time through Steam so I made another account. How the hell do you even unlock dailies? I had to do the tutorial, I even did the event with 5 colours. I was certain that I'd finally get dailies after than, but no. I now have to do some Sparky challenge using a pre-con deck? Fucking hell, why is there no way to skip that shit for experienced/non-new players? It's massively off-putting. Also, I thought that 5 colour event challenge thing would have you facing other players doing the event, thus using one of those 5 decks? What am I doing playing against a dude playing a UB FF deck? What the fuck is that shit? On top of that, the red deck is fucking miserable to play against another opponent.
Are they actually trying to push people away from Arena? Fucking hell. And I didn't even get a chance to get fucked over by the game's niggardlyness.

>>95949101You can skip the tutorial in the game options
>>95949141Im an ultra degenerate and I prefer tall lithe women with small breasts. Never been into bimbo or anything like that at all. Its just personal taste.
>>95949101buy gems and you will have solved the tutorial without playing
>>95949214>women with small breasts.based
UTTERLY BASED
>>95949141I'm pretty cumbrained and I rather jerk it to incest. I don't goon while playing a physical card game across the table from a beautiful lady much less a sweaty manlet.
>>95949211The very first one? I did try to skip it but "end game" would just cause me to lose and have to restart the tutorial. Skipping should be more intuitive thna having to look through the settings. Again, didn't look in the settings to see if I could skip the event but it doesn't seem like something that can be skipped.
>>95949215>buy gemsIsn't that the end game?
I want to play standard, when the fuck are they gonna ban some cards so i know what to netdeck
>>95949223>Isn't that the end game?no that's the first step
>>95949220I dont plan on doing any gooning at the table but i will enjoy seeing peoples faces lmao. Im not an incel or some 600lb socially awkward dude i just like pretty ladys and enjoy having them in my decks
>>9594922630th but does someone know exact time?
I want to safe craft them but timing is supposedly tighter between announcement & update.
>>95948360Can I get some feedback on this now that you're all awake
>>95949272would help you but i had like 2 drafts until now and i have no idea
how did i go from 20 to -45 life here? since yawgmoth can't get damage from humans where did i lose so much life? the mammoth had 15/15
i never thought about how protection interacts with trample. that's probably not the answer it's just a new thought based on this pic
>>95949347How did you take so little damage when Tifa trampled for 124?
>>95949376idk but shouldn't i have taken none from tifa? yawgmoth has protection from humans and tifa is a human?
>>95949386Yawgmoth has protection from humans, so he takes 0 damage, tifa only assigns 4 damage to yawgmath before that
>>95949347>>95949386hmm ok interesting, never thought about that
>>95948657Wait, this was from /vg/? It's been a while and I came back because of Final Fantasy. I figured we just had that many Magic threads for some reason despite how useless the distinction might be. I remember Pauper General, I wouldn't doubt it.
>>95949077Just get genuine magic bimbo
>>95949414This is also why Trample and Deathtouch are such a valued combination. It means only one point of damage needs to be assigned for a creature to be dealt *lethal damage*, making blocking significantly harder without a really wide strategy.
>>95949579most attractive Iraqi woman
>>95949223Look in the settings and see. You used to be able to check a box and skip that but i dont think you get the rewards. I dunno nigga do it yourself and quit bitching.
>>95945339For some more unusual combos they could but two characters on one card like MOM.
>>95948360Cut reach the horizon and diamond weapon.
>>95950431that seems reasonable
What are you guys playing in midweek magic?
>>95950579Already had a sephiroth deck, so trying him at first
>>95950579I used Tifa and threw in random +1 and landfall cards. Deck took 5mins to build and got my 3 wins in 6 games. I REALLY should build a brawl deck at some point.
>>95950610do it, it's fun
>>95950586I could do sephiroth but i gotta craft him, is kefka decent or a meme? Seems playable.
>>95950652i think he's not really that good for a 1v1 commander, but in a 4v4 he should be nice
>>95944804HOW THE FUCK DO YOU EVEN GET TO THIS BOARDSTATE? why are you allowing this to happen?
holy fuck dude lmao my games end on turn 4 or 5 idk what youre even doing to be super-turbo-holofoil-ex inefficient
>>95950680>holy fuck dude lmao my games end on turn 4 or 5 idk what youre even doing to be super-turbo-holofoil-ex inefficientyou suck at the game that's why
>>95950668Hmmm well im low on cards and havent opened any packs until i finish drafting and i only really have a kefka from drafting everything else isnt very good.
>>95950680neither of us could draw what we needed for like 10 turns straight
i also massively misplayed and lost the game at the end because i forgot the dragon makes my treasure tap for 2 so i was able to banefire him for full for awhile but didnt realize and then he finally topdecked a boardwipe
>>95949697or wirzards could have just not been retarded about the typings for these cards, given that spiderman isn't an actual spider and just like doc ock isn't an actual octopus. they're already debuting shit like villain anyway.
>>95949214big tits are fine, but if you like fish lips then you're just subhuman and that's a fact.
Alright kefka isnt amazing or anything but not a bad card. The colors he is in have great power together though seems pretty good.
>queue some constructed for fun
>opponent emotes then starts roping every phase from turn 0 before either of us have played a card

Been playing brawl lately am I right in assuming the majority of decks are

>>95951625>>95951742ok here is mine finally, not sure how this will work but guess i'll see
>>95951791Matchmaking does get impacted a lot considering what you're playing from my experience as mainly playing brawl, but you have different types of opponents, some really concede at the beginning when you fuck him over with 1 card, but some grind it until the end
>>95951994Oh and the reanimate is mostly just a bonus if i pitch a good creature and have a spell. Persist on a summon seems absolutely retarded and this whip is an enchantment artifact for some reason. The main point is drawing extra cards off Kefka.

Back again after finishing even more work, should be able to play some more today and tomorrow. Went 2-1 here with GB, absolutely robbed of the trophy through getting fucked by draws twice in a row while my opponent played 4c with no issue. A bit too top heavy here, I think cutting anima for something else would've been a better idea, even rexaur would've been fine. Seems the competition is starting to ramp up now, queues are slower and I had to work for all the wins this run. Feels like I shouldn't be as greedy, which is unfortunate. Especially since the set is too fucking big, so you need even more runs to complete it.

The vivi deck is shit i have never even clme close to losing
After playing a few hundred games of brawl with this commander I can confidently say the "RNG" in this game is fucked. There have been waaaay too many 4-5-6-7 successful rolls for me to think it's real rng. My guess is they generate some key at the start of each game and some of these keys prefer random rolls more than others. This shit is NOT random.

2-1 again, now on UB. The bane of my existence continues to be UR, just a real annoying package at common and some even stronger stuff at uncommon. The whole thing is difficult to stabilize against, so any stumbles are very punishing. I don't think B is that far behind though, the removal is stronger and there's some decent creatures too. R is just in a weird spot where it's in both the strongest and weakest pairs. Nothing very eventful to talk about in this one, other than one opponent using quistis to recur a fire magic and wiping the board for no reason.

Redeemed with a 3-0 on a UGw slop pile. Not pictured are two more towns, I never had mana issues. Didn't really deserve the wins here, I got lucky with shitty opponents and would've definitely lost against a decent aggro deck. I always feel off with UGx, it's a weird balance between towns and splashing bombs. Had to run some real shitty ones here to make 40, I much prefer going for an honest 2c or small splash so there's some leeway. I feel like commune was quite good this run, I often had mana to spare and it was always good either for hitting land drops or finding more gas. Wyvern goes up in my ratings every run, I would take this bad boy over most of the rares in the set.

>>95955359Feel like you should draft sideboard cards higher looking at your decks. Don't even mean explicit sideboard cards like airship crash, but just extra playables in your sideboard to swap in for cards you don't love in a matchup or on the draw.

Playing MTG again and I have to say, I'm really enjoying my time playing the pre-constructed format. I typically drop online card games very quickly once the honeymoon phase wears out and I'm facing the same meta decks over and over again. At that point these games lose the thing that made them special: all the diversity and fun options. You're just left with making a deck to counter the most common deck to stand a chance, and then losing to anything that isn't the most common decks. At least now the pre-con format makes things fun.
There's just no point in being able to make your own decks if it means the absolute losers playing these games net deck and remove all the fun out of the game for themselves and their opponents.

>>95955852Sure, I get that but those decks are being net decked for a reason. If the only thing you build your deck to do is beat the net decks, you'll get hammered against any other deck. Ultimately, I just don't like how people take the fun out of these games just so they can feel good about winning. It's pretty much why I had so much fun playing Duels of the planeswalkers when that released almost 2 decades ago.
>>95955879i respect your decision but i respect disrespecting trannies even more.
>>95955891It's not really that big of a deal to fit an extra Cut Down or High Noon into your deck.

Or just play Bo3.
>>95955917Yeah, you're right that I'm probably making a bigger deal out of it than it is but it does significantly impact my enjoyment. Those, say 6-8 cards that I need against meta decks could have been something more fun and interesting for my deck to play with. On the other side, it's simply not fun seeing the same decks over and over again, seeing all the fun and interesting cards sidelined for multiple of the same card. Definitely a me issue but I hate how other players ruin these games.

>>95956027No queue, LAN only
problem solved
>>95956027As I said above, I just got into MTG again but I think I seen that there are modes or products that have themes? So you make a deck from 2 of those or give players pre-cons with a side board so that you can adjust the deck as suits you or for a Bo3.
That said, I can't imagine it taking off because that would cut into WotC's profit. Not sure why this sort of thing isn't the introductory or default gamemode for new players because as I'm finding out, it's a lot easier to play vs other pre-cons than in some other, open format because there are soooooo many cards.
Oh right! What should I be spending my gold on? I just started and have absolutely no preference. is there an ideal pack or item I should be buying?

>>95956063the jump-in packages are pretty good value, you can look what cards they contain here (https://mtgabuddy.com/en/jump-in-packet-list) and try to aim the one you want
>>95956287That's a gamemode, right? I need to do spark ranked before I can unlock it. I'll keep it in mind when I consider using my coins. What's the procedure with drafts? I remember that draft was the focus of account progression years ago.
>>95956346Drafts are less the be-all-end-all since the introduction of golden packs. Larger standard with more frequent releases and ridiculous power creep also mean that set completion isn't as desirable as it once was.
It's worth doing a few to turn gold into gems for the mastery pass and get the rewards/free wins ranking up to plat, but it's not really a requirement anymore.
>>95956374Alright, thank you for the information. I always enjoyed draft but I'm not exactly good or knowledgeable at the moment so how difficult would it be for me to get the mastery pass going 1-3 as an example?
>>95956396If your limited winrate is sub-45 in gold and below I wouldn't recommend it.

Buying packs technically has more value than a single draft or event when you factor in golden packs, but drafts/events also give you gems so you can go infinite.
Jump In has good face-value, but you can't control what cards you're getting so you'll never get a full deck out of it, and you're not getting wildcards from opening packs, so just buying packs is better. Avoid Mythic Packs.

Another 3-0 on a solid GB list. Definitely designed to be grindy, three each of hecteyes and fat chocobos were great at accumulating card advantage. Bard's bow was also invaluable at holding off fliers, won a match pretty much off their backs. Not really impressed by the 2 drop birds, but they didn't really need to be impressive. Rexaur also helped stabilize and push through a win in a couple games, feels like the best of the cyclers along with malboro. Titan was the sole rare here but I drew him a lot, played quite well with all the birds.

Back to back 3-0 on GB, quite happy with that. This one was more mill oriented and zero rares, but otherwise pretty similar. Went for the classic 45, for sure the right call. Cloud of darkness is so fucking strong, it feels dirty playing two and recurring them. Bard's bow once again earning the slot, bullying poor fliers. Fight on got pretty good value here, usually I don't like them much. Cornered is a good card but edicts tend to be better with small removal rather than big ones, I don't think it's great in GB.

Any suggestions for this draft? The Blazing Bomb has been good to me in this archetype, growing a lot more regularly than I'd have thought. The Fire Crystal actually hasn't hurt the 4-mana requirement of RU since the only spell it drops below 4 CMC has a flashback that'll trigger regardless. And its upside of doubling an Ice Flan or Dragoon's Wyvern is pretty good. Saved me a game, actually. Stunned a 10/10 Zodiark long enough to let me bounce it.

Decent 2-1 UW run. Zero late game, didn't even see that many living weapons after picking up a bunch of payoff cards. Fliers are still good, 3x wyvern is nasty. Not even upset about the one loss, their list was cracked, with like half the deck being removal. Just realizing now after looking at the list again that I didn't go down to 16 lands even though I intended to. I don't think it would've changed much anyway. Probably would've ran damper. I think it went well enough, given the mediocre draft. I should really prioritize equipment more, they get taken pretty quick with multiple archetypes that want them, as well as some even being decent just on their own.

This would be about where I stop for regular sets, but FIN is a bigger set for some dumb reason so I'll try to sneak in a few more sets tomorrow. The whole thing has dragged out in this set way longer than usual due to IRL shit, despite being actually fewer runs than I usually need. I think my record is about the same as usual, I've just managed to raredraft more. Somehow still haven't tried RB or RW yet. RB looks pretty weak so I doubt I'll be getting the chance to play it. RW is pretty good though, just haven't gotten the opportunity. Guessing people are forcing UR and picking up all the good R cards. Bit of an unusual scenario, in that two of the R pairs are at the top, while the other two are at the bottom. Unlucky in the set since I prefer to explore and figure out formats, but due to joining late this time around things have already settled down.
FIN day I don't even remember results:
Three 3-0, four 2-1, for a total of 17-4
Spent 10,500 gems on seven runs and won back 11,500 for a net total of +1,000 gems
Won 30 packs, worth 6,000 gems
Trophied three times, for 6 play in points worth 1,200 gems
Drafted 37 rares, now at 119 total. Around 3,700 gems

>>95964702Not pictured: the fact that you cut a land in your curveout deck for Snow Villiers.
>>95964751retard I'm essentially playing an 18th land because I got cut so hard in packs 2 and 3 I was short on playables
>>95964761>essentiallySounds like someone's running landcyclers in his aggro deck.

I may have scuffed this one up a bit. thoughts?
>>95964885Cut the call, just play airship crash. It looks fine, you just don't have much payoff for all the towns.
>>95964885realistically I should cut the towns and wandering minstrel too right?

>>95964702should have been 7-0, I was robbed.
also should have been an all time great deck with how well the packs opened but I couldn't wheel any playables (p3p6 had Sin + a UR spells bomb, 5 players to my right all on white by the end)
actually that was the third trophy in a row, after a couple 3-3's.
all of them with multiple bombs. 2/3 were Seifer decks.
fuck yeah Seifer.

Strong WB list that only went 1-2. Closer than the record would indicate, both losses were 1-2 and pretty even games. Probably should've went down to 16 lands for this one too. Lots of mage pingers in this one, along with lots of equipment and lots of removal. Garuda kinda sucked since I was on the offense most of the time. Treachery had a bunch of fodder, but it was sometimes awkward since I usually wanted to be swinging in. Always wanted more bodies for greatsword and gabranth, too. Not sure if I misplayed the matchups or if it's just weaker than what my opponents were doing, there was at least one moment that I think I fucked up on.
>>95965381Drawless removal piles always look way better than they are.
>>95965433Yeah, that was one which I think would've really benefitted from something like circle of power.
>>95964840yeah I really like that guy in draft

This is stupid as fuck
>>95965689Did you guys know if you copy an impending creature it comes in as a creature? And if you use coiling rebirth to reanimate a 0/0 metamorph it comes in as a 5/3? I always wondered but never got to try it til now.

Awful list, but still made 2-1. Really wanted better bodies than sabotenders and brahne, but never got them. The sahagins and katana were good, but never drew them. Fortunately the removal carried here. Quite decent late game with all the flashback and card advantage, getting there was a struggle though. Had multiple games where I stabilized at <5 life. Ran 41 for no reason, the cut would probably be a scheme. Card collection still the only sidequest I've reliably flipped, it's so easy and the payoff is great.
>>95966424Thanks for the reports bro ive been waiting to draft and youve been helpful. Gonna get some free wins in bronze and then reset and do it again to learn more lol.

There was somebody else here playing kefka too, did you remember your artifact lands?
>>95966898I'm not playing a literal clown deck.
>>95966442np, glad it helps
I figured at minimum it'd be some examples of what decent draft decks will look like (though maybe not the last few, they've been kinda shitty)
I've recently returned after last playing Magic during the Phyrexian invasion arc and without being overly dramatic, the meta and general state of the game is quite possible the worst in MTG history. Every single negative trend that was starting to become truly problematic back then has worsened to the point that the foundations are rotten. Removal is fucking nuts and out of control, there is no real color identity anymore, and turn 3 is lategame. It's relatively common in standards of all things now to not just obviously be doomed but outright lose most or all of your life by turn 2 now, where before it was rare as fuck.
I was also wondering why Final Fantasy slop with terrible art (who drew the chobos, they look actually disgusting uncanny valley tier) was in the game, the I read up about UB and how new sets are planned every two months which is crazy.

Another 2-1 to close out the set. Pretty typical at this point, only thing to note here is that I should've had more ways to trigger sahagins, maybe ring of lucii over something. The one loss was to an archetypal UR list, they were topdecking like crazy to stay alive at 3 life. Ultimecia and anima are kinda shit top ends, but serviceable enough. The list had enough card advantage to play well on cheaper cards.
whatever

i just want to play fucking magic :(
4 out of 5 games I'm either flooded, screwed, all my creatures are removed or the opponent quits after 3 turns. I'm not even angry just bummed. MTG is fun but the game won't let me play it
>>95967556He isnt a clown
first time playing limited since starting as an ff tourist
i like it a lot more than constructed even though i average like 2-3 every time i try
thank you for reading my blog, your game is fun

Decided to finish up early, the set is extra big and there's not much I really want from it. The set's pretty balanced, though with relatively simple mechanics so it got a bit dull. UR and RG are the only outliers, at the top and bottom respectively, and not by that much. I still never got to try RW or RB, feels like a decent chunk of the good R cards are more synergy oriented so you're not going to get much value out of them outside the archetype. U is probably the strongest overall color, with like half the commons being top tier. I didn't see many successful 3c+ decks outside of UGx, and likewise pure UG isn't that great. Really dislike the bonus sheet on this one, no theme at all and a bunch of really strong bombs that can solo decide games.
Final FIN totals:
Nine 3-0, fourteen 2-1, three 1-2 runs, for a total of 58-20
Nine trophies is 18 play in points, or 3,600 gems
Spent 42,000 gems on entry fees, won back 37,250 for a net loss of -4,750 gems
Got 21 rare wc and 9 mythic wc from opening all the packs
