This set feels much more rare heavy than previous ones. Stuff like the one mana ramp creature being rare and that flash fairy being mythic is kinda bullshit. Drown in the Loch manages to feel generous.

Am I handsome now?


So day one i got four Garruks and three Yorvos so I guess i have to go green.

I did also get a ton of black and red knights so i could go that route. I saw a nice black/red knights deck yesterday but I cant find it on recent pages of this thread. I barely look anywhere else for mtg info so i dont know where I saw it.

I was wondering how the client would handle Seven Dwarves. I only got one copy but I have an infinite symbol over it in my collection.

I am a mouth, and I must scream

My rares from my one Sealed run:

Gilded Goose
Wishclaw Talisman
Danse of the Manse
Castle Garenbrig
Hushbringer
Fabled Passage

Not sure if it can get much worse than that. I ended up making RWB knights and going 1-3 because I had no bombs and poo poo payoffs (and I'm bad)

To help with the last part, can anyone tell me where I went wrong and how I could have made this better:

Actual deck:

1 Archon of Absolution (ELD) 3
1 Hushbringer (ELD) 18
1 Lonesome Unicorn (ELD) 21

1 Scorching Dragonfire (ELD) 139
1 Wintermoor Commander (ELD) 205
1 Scalding Cauldron (ELD) 229
1 Fabled Passage (ELD) 244
6 Plains (ELD) 253
5 Swamp (ELD) 261
5 Mountain (ELD) 265

Not used:

2 Bartered Cow (ELD) 6
2 Flutterfox (ELD) 12
1 Outflank (ELD) 23
3 Silverflame Squire (ELD) 31
1 Corridor Monitor (ELD) 41
1 Faerie Vandal (ELD) 45
1 Hypnotic Sprite (ELD) 49
1 Merfolk Secretkeeper (ELD) 53
2 Opt (ELD) 59
1 Sage of the Falls (ELD) 63

1 Unexplained Vision (ELD) 70
2 Wishful Merfolk (ELD) 73
1 Giant's Skewer (ELD) 91
1 Reaper of Night (ELD) 102
1 Wishclaw Talisman (ELD) 110

2 Covetous Urge (ELD) 207
1 Loch Dragon (ELD) 211
1 Enchanted Carriage (ELD) 218
2 Gingerbrute (ELD) 219
1 Inquisitive Puppet (ELD) 223
1 Prophet of the Peak (ELD) 227

1 Signpost Scarecrow (ELD) 231
1 Castle Garenbrig (ELD) 240
2 Mystic Sanctuary (ELD) 247
2 Witch's Cottage (ELD) 249

I felt like knights was my best bet but maybe I should have stuck to two colours or done something completely different. I didn't feel like I had any better support for any other archetype though

Doom foretold is really good. Remember that the thing you sacrifice cannot be a token, so food tokens are out. I kept thinking that opponents food would be first to hit the bin, until I read the card again. Oops.

Looks like they changed the amount of points you need to open the vault from 900 to 1000 without mentioning it in the patch notes. It's a pretty minimal change in the grand scheme of things, but seems pretty scummy to do in secret.

Hasn't it been 1000 points since last year? If you have a tracker you should be able to check whether you lost vault progress yesterday or not.

Yeah, just saw someone from WotC said they just didn't update it on the website until now so people got the wrong idea based on that. Oops.

Eh incubation Druid was the dork in allegiance and it was rare. I was originally kinda miffed at the mythic creatures but robber of the rich ain’t poo poo. The flash thing is just a bounce it isn’t insane it’s just more stall it doesn’t define the deck. Questing is a pretty maxed out 4cc creature but it’s still just a dude. Is the black mythic the choose one haste guy? Now that thing is loving deck defining.

I think the rarity stuff is a problem if you are trying to make tribal work but it doesn’t seem too egregious in general compared to other sets.

they were pretty upfront about saying that there was a slot or two dedicated to 'cards in the set not otherwise available through boosters' so yeah the low roll is pw deck cards (and the high roll are Brawl deck legendaries and the new mana rock)

For Happily Ever After "6 or more card types" the official rules I looked up say tribal is a card type. Isnt that just Merlock, Elemental, Knight, etc.? If thats the case would a Merlock and an Elemental count as two different card types or just one since theyre both tribal?

Tribal was a specific type created for the Lorwyn Block which allowed grouping of both creature and non-creature spells for certain effects (a Tribal sorcery, for example). Then they realized it was confusing and limited in design space and never used it again. The card has to have "Tribal" printed on it to have that type.

They still have to mention it because of cards like Tarmogoyf and now this one in case you ever play in a legacy format

No, there are specific cards (none of which are in Arena) which say Tribal Sorcery, Tribal Enchantment and so on. They need to actually have Tribal in their type line to count as a Tribal card. The confusing thing is that Tribal cards also have a creature type, so you end up with a Tribal Enchantment - Faerie where Tribal and Enchantment are the card types but it also has the creature type Faerie and counts as a Faerie for stuff.

There arent any tribal type cards on arena and unless wotc brings back tribal typing there wont be as the last tribal cards were printed in 2010 in Rise of the Eldrazi.

This is a tribal type card. It is a goblin card and an instant card. You can reveal it to goblin ringleader and put it in your hand. You can reveal it to auger of bolas and put it into your hand.

I see she's also on the Simic Stompy plan. I also ended up putting Oko in my deck, but she's going down ramping into Hydra/Mass Manipulation plan.

I kind of want to go more mid-rangey and also I don't want Nissa in this deck since I also have the Elementals in another pile
