I've never played Brawl but those rules seem like they could be a lot of fun, and maybe a good way of attracting new players. In general I'm wary of diluting the queues even further, especially with historic coming, but i'm really looking forward to brawl.

What's the best ramp gruul/ghalta deck currently? I'm enjoying T3 ghalta with marauding raptor + raptor hatchling but it's not reliable and the hatching is very bad without raptor.

cams posted:if i don't end up getting the wings for my cat, i am gonna be very angry on the internet It is my humble opinion that if you pay for the pass, the last day of the season should just give you level 100. Playing every single day gets you the stuff quicker, but you pay the price you get the poo poo. I would look a lot closer at spending on it if taking a big summer vacation with my children didn't make completing the path literally impossible.

Gating the levels with XP seems silly when you already charge a premium for maxing them out and also for getting the better rewards. I'm sure they decided to put in systems that both encourage people to play every day (for good numbers on their retention metrics) and also a system to get money from players on a regular basis (mtga as a service) into one system which is kind of asinine when you make them depend on each other and one involves real money.

I really liked the precon event, I would like to see something like that with weirder decks. Gives you a chance to play archetypes that you normally wouldn't bother with.

I think even a precon event with top tier standard decks (akin to those ptq championship decks of old) would be good since it gives players an idea of which decks gel with their playstyle without investing a bunch of wildcards to realize, wow, scapeshift is dull as hell to play.

The terrible thing about this event and by extent Elemental decks right now is that there's so many priority triggers that my idiot opponents refuse to be aware of. It's like after the sixteenth time the game asks you to pass because you can trigger your artifact or place a land after playing an elemental and you take longer than 5 seconds to react your account should be deleted and someone should be sent over to your house to rough you up a bit

There are 58 days until 10/4, so roughly 8 weeks. Each week now gives 7.25 levels, so you'll get 60 levels (although I may be making an off by 1 error). There are three more events, and I'll wager another code to get two levels before the season is up as a catch-up, so you'll probably have 65 levels all included.

I made a Tezzeret deck because I'm an idiot and whatever it's not like I care about most of the mythics in WAR/M20 anyway so might as well, then I played it during these past few days. It's a lost cause. It's not that it's bad (which it is, don't get me wrong, it would probably lose to a good draw from a precon). It's that not even this event can make it fun, because any enjoyment you get from watching the death ray animation drain life someone for 10 is canceled by people going to time every time they have priority with a treasure out. I don't want to be harsh on people who are obviously new or just really slow at understanding the rules but the pass priority hell of this event certainly made me regret crafting that deck.

I just doubled down in the misery and built esper and grixis with krasis. Also esper had march of the multitudes. I never killed anyone with either deck, they just concede after the second X spell. drainpipe posted:There are 58 days until 10/4, so roughly 8 weeks.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Omniscience Draft loving rules. Sure sometimes you get combo'd off t1-2, but when you do it it feels even better. Singleton is fun so is pauper. Cascade was fun as well once Lavinia was banned. Standard Momir isnt super fun, but its a nice change of pace. The version with the WAR walkers was fun though. The treasure events have been the least fun for me.

It's such a chore to play against counter spells again after being spoiled by the baby teferi meta. Simic flash, esper control(running counters), and mono blue are the least fun decks to play against. I've always hated playing against counter spells though, the only blue decks I've played that ran blue splashed it for card draw. Counterspells are just fundamentally unfun.

I don't think you need to worry about being too harsh on people. It's not like MTGA had a massive groundswell of new intake the moment this event started; anyone who's playing this event is overwhelmingly likely to have been playing for long enough that they should know better. (and to be fair, "long enough that they should know better" is "after the first time they noticed that treasures were making them rope".) Some people are just lovely. At least this is only passive, negligent shittiness as opposed to active shittiness, like having a chud username or playing Simic Flash th3t00t posted:It's such a chore to play against counter spells again after being spoiled by the baby teferi meta.

I've always hated playing against counter spells though, the only blue decks I've played that ran blue splashed it for card draw. Counterspells are just fundamentally unfun. It's possible for a meta to have counterspells in it somewhere and yet not be toxic, or for countermagic to not be the toxic element in a meta (e.g., Modern right now with Hogaak). We're just in a place right now with Standard where the decks with counterspells in them have just enough bullshit that they feel super unfun to play against, at least for me. One thing you can do in the meanwhile is play cards like Shifting Ceratops and Hydroid Krasis that countermagic strategies are weaker against and that are strong enough to play maindeck. That's what I'm trying to do right now and it works well enough; it's not perfect but it's better than nothing. JerryLee fucked around with this message at 03:03 on Aug 8, 2019 |

I was playing Bant with little Tef, Shifting Ceratops, and Krasis specifically to gently caress Simic Flash. Then I started playing against too much Scapeshift. Now I’m trying out Jeskai Hero and it’s decent against Flash. All your creatures are huge and you just drop threats over and over until they play all 12 of their counters. An early Hero let’s you accumulate tokens for blockers. You keep little Teferi but now you can Clarion to save the day.

I want to add that I don't necessarily think countermagic is too strong in this meta, but I wish I could know ahead of time when a counterpsell deck is going to god draw so I could just scoop. When other types of decks god draw it's kinda fun to see them go off and I still get to play magic and sometimes my deck goes off a little stronger and edges out a close win. Against god draw counterspells I don't get to play magic.

Yeah simic and mono U both have the ability to just stick a threat on T1-2 and then counter your next 4-5 cards in a row with even a medium-strength draw. Sometimes a game is just unwinnable, and getting countered out of 3-4 plays in a row can feel unfair, even if it’s just RNG.

They'll almost always get fields of the dead in play faster than you'll get fields of ruin. Recommend adding ashiok as well to really turn up the hate on degenerate scapeshift playing assholes like myself.
