Random question, how are you supposed to stop in your declare attackers step to do something before your opponent blocks? Full control didn't seem to do it.

My opponent had a great plan against my Re-animator deck, "he can't steal my permanents if I don't play any!" but he still lost... Seriously though I don't know what he was doing. He auto-passed every turn and sat on the End Turn button until it timed out and forced him to discard...

So if ya don't know yet, now when you make a deck from scratch it lets you choose "constructed," "trad. constructed" and "singleton". Aside from amking me wonder if that's a hint that they are adding permanent singleton format, what's it for.

A good filter for the deck page, but if you dont choose singleton when you make the deck it be categorized as one.

Spiderdrake posted:The most recent update says "hopefully in the october update" so it probably doesn't launch this month I knew that but a Brawl deck is going to be different from a singleton deck right? I'm kind of surprised they're adding in a permanent singleton format since a singleton deck can be way cheaper than a standard deck and lends itself to the "just toss in any old single good cards you opened by chance" situation a lot of Arena people are in. I know Brawl isn't EDH, but there are people that only play Commander in paper right? So, offering a cheaper and, for many, more popular format permanently into the game seems bad for revenue.

just because it exists as a deck type doesn't mean there will necessarily be a singleton queue. you've been able to designate a deck as singleton for months now.

I haven't fussed around with potential brawl decks but I feel like singleton formats tend to use a lot of rares So in the arena world where rares are just rares it may not be a big cost difference

All of the odd event formats have been available in the deck builder ahead of the event. Standard Shakeup and Ravnica Block were both options, and might still be.

Spiderdrake posted:I haven't fussed around with potential brawl decks but I feel like singleton formats tend to use a lot of rares They don't use 4 of a rare, so you don't have to go in as hard on crafting a card that the meta might evolve out of. Though I guess the the chance of opening four of one specific card is probably the same as opening one copy of four specific cards.

fatherboxx posted:even better if you turn it into frog and just fly over I don't know, I'd say that the Bant and Esper are tied, Bant has crazy ramp and can get a nut draw and just go off, but Esper has Kaya's Wrath, good fliers, and some of its own ramp and crazy burst damage. Jund is probably a bit below the two, but still a solid deck. Mardu knights sucks hard. Overall, I really like this event and the last pre-con event too. I just wish that the decks weren't so lop-sided with their bombs and removal. Just putting bombs in, outside of the commanders obviously, is problematic.

Knights is the best because you just need to put some gear on a dude and attack and not give a poo poo about fancy tricks.

I can't understand why everyone is so teched against temur rec, a deck that died like 3 sets ago. Every deck just sides in 4 teferi 4 cerulean drake and its making it really really hard for my jank to work. It already loses to mono red, I just wanted to play it against scapeshift but I've literally never seen that matchup

The fact that they both happen to be really good against your deck just means that your deck is not positioned well in the meta. And if you don't like seeing those cards played against you, I'm not sure why you really want to play it against Scapeshift!

There isn't really a meta right now. Nobody's playing esper, but nobodys playing scapeshift anymore either and there isn't 1 deck that took out either of those decks. MTGGoldfish is confused and is saying golgari Citadel is tier 1 or 2. Play whatever and get blown out by sideboard cards I guess.

If I had to guess at a meta I'd say that it's some variant of simic-nexus combined with elementals or field of the dead and then there's vampires and esper control decks too. It's pretty chaotic. edit: and Kethis combo Ithle01 fucked around with this message at 06:13 on Sep 6, 2019 |

I didn't make the connection earlier that artifacts with food subtype implies artifact creatures with the food subtype. Meaning those gingerbread people will be hunted down by Savvy Hunter and eaten for cards, that's just amazing. I think this means mirror entity can turn your entire board into food and savvy hunter can... gross.

Unless they're splitting it off from the type line that would make it a creature subtype as well. Then again adventure is kind of a lovely implementation as explained so maybe it won't.

They called out Ferocidon in the ban announcement for being too good against go-wide decks, which traditionally are a counter to the red aggro decks. Selesnya in particular would have been dead on arrival if Ferocidon had been legal when Guilds was released.

Jesus Christ, I know no one likes the 2:1 in historic but the Arena Reddit will. Not. Shut. Up. About. It. Every single post there is more and more wailing and gnashing of teeth. The 2:1 is dumb and needlessly handicaps historic but they're acting like wotc personally shot their dog and they're all screaming about how they need to organize other groups about the greatest injustice: more predatory than usual monetization in a card game with gambling at it's core. It's so childish. Are there any good, non-insane discussion venues other than this thread? And yes  because I had a meltdown about the initial format of the mastery pass.

We shouldn't have to do this dance with every new feature. Wizards knew this wouldn't be accepted, but they start ridiculously high as if we were in a high-stakes negotiation. It's obnoxious to finally have a good digital project that can only be maintained through constant protest. Magic players are the worst, but they are the customers Wizards deserves.

Honestly I don't know why they didn't just say they're gonna add one set at a time going backwards and make this a new format in paper too since Modern is now enormous and has something like over half the cards ever printed as legal. Plus they could then keep going and once they're done finally shut down MTGO. Shutting down MTGO doesn't even have to be that bad or painful if they just say "your collection will port to Arena"

And historic is innately a clusterfuck. Rotations and cards becoming useless piss people off. Which happens as formats grow regardless of the rotation, but the rotation brings it into focus. Players accidentally buying rotated cards pisses people off. Players buying 20 WC decks that allow them to grind forever on the historic ladder pisses the devs off. Adding new cards using the same methodology is way too hard on most f2pers. You can acquire most/all of the current releases as f2p, right now, but a second set of sets would break that in half. I think they're back to the drawing board on it but reddit isn't going to be pleased with whatever they come up with. People still bitch about the mastery pass which was actually a huge boon to f2pers! Well and apparently the cat lags the poo poo out of people with computers that must be like, I have no idea how old.
