GreyjoyBastard posted:i'd feel bad for you but you willingly chose to play golos fields so you deserve everything you get and more You guys said I should! That and I couldn't seem to "not lose" playing anything else. Eh whatever, I slapped together some mono-red jank with 15 mountains and no other land and I just won 4 games in a row in Gold. It certainly has more Wins Per Second (WPS) than fields.

List of things Golos Fields can do: - Benefit from being land flooded - Generate board threats for free - Ramp - Be nigh impervious/unfazed to single target removal - Run 4 colors without a draw back - Cast a card draw/life gain spell that's pretty much uncounterable - Run with impunity because most answers have been rotated out Krasis being able to generate card draw from the cast point is ridiculous field decks would run it without the flample body. Fields being able to generate zombies without requiring at least one mana should have been caught in R&D. Even before Ali cracked the code people were pointing at Fields going uh oh.

Yeah, I played some RDW tonight instead of Golos field as well. I powered through from the top of plat 3 to diamond 4. With Golos field yesterday I slid from plat 2 to plat 3 and it seemed a lot harder than it had been prior to the 12 win eldraine event. I think that woke some people up. With RDW, instead of relying on lucky draws I was just almost always killing the opponent by turn 5. I almost never play aggro so it felt kind of stupid how easy it was but I assume a lot of people are trying to tune decks against field and it's just not helping them against aggro. I did see at least three mardu knights decks which was interesting although they're not as fast as you'd imagine.

I mean it has to be a standard ban. Everyone is asking for it. They announced the emergency ban the day the MC decks were due for submission. The ban is the day after the MC. If it's just a brawl ban I will LMAO

So I have 4 copies of Field, Krasis, and Golos but haven't crafted a Golos Field deck so I could get Eldraine rares from draft. Worth it to burn the rares and use it to ladder up to Platinum before Field gets banned?Rexxed posted:Yeah, I played some RDW tonight instead of Golos field as well.

Hi MtG goons. I am a recent HS transplant and want to get in to MtG. I haven't played Magic since University and even then I just dabled in it a bit with a mono black Rotlung Reanimate deck. So I installed the client + played the tutorial through. Where do I go from here? Open my wallet and get busy?

axeil posted:Deck list for your RDW? I played exclusively RDW on the ladder before rotation because it had fast games. I was trying out the first deck in this tweet that was posted earlier: https://twitter.com/KanyeBestMTG/status/1182017967246254080 It's a little rares heavy so I subbed out one of the castles for another mountain. Since I hadn't played monored in a while I was surprised at how useful Slaying Fire is. Having it bump up to 4 damage when cast with red mana takes out a lot more stuff than you'd think. Cavalcade decks may be a little bit cheaper but this seems good, well, as good as any red aggro. Torbran is expensive to craft but his effect is pretty amazing. I had more than one time when opponents didn't account for the +2 damage when I attacked with a fervent champion and lost a blocker for nothing.

For the jank lovers, Mengu was playing this mono blue self mill Phoenix deck https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/2361609#paper It sucked but it's pretty cool. The goal is to mill yourself and between the 4 pheonixs and 4 creeping chills you should setup lethal around turn 5. Rei Sato was also playing a similar deck but I don't have the list. Edit: I might give it a go if I have all the cards, definitely not worth crafting. salt shakeup fucked around with this message at 07:00 on Oct 10, 2019 |

Slaying Fire is outstanding in a lot of matchups but especially in simic because simic players still have not noticed that red now have a 4 damage instant that can respond to an end step wolf.

I haven't played Magic since University and even then I just dabled in it a bit with a mono black Rotlung Reanimate deck. You don't really need to spend a lot on Arena, depending on what you want to do on there. I personally spend about $20-40 per new set now (about 3 months?). $20 if I needed additional gems for prerelease events, and $20 for the mastery pass. It'll take you a while to build up your collection but at least it's close to free to play. If you play MTG Online, that's different and will require spending initial money. Yes, there's two different clients--Arena and Online. The grind on MTG Online feels better to me imo because you get better formats, real drafts, and can end up selling your tix. But I stick to Arena right now so I can just play casually with occasional ranked grinding.

Apparently if you play the guild decks without modifying them, the play queue will try to match you against similar decks so you won't be completely blown out. You'll probably have to work very hard to get to gold with any of them, but they all decently well made and show how each guild is "supposed" to be played. After that it's all about trying to make grinding deck that lets you do dailies and earn gold. If you want to spend a little money, the mastery pass is a very good deal.

I put in a few hours each weekend to do all the quests and I have 160 packs worth of gold at the moment. If you like mono-black with graveyard recursion there's some cool stuff right now like this thing where you cook cats into pies and then other cats rise from the dead to eat the pies, and somehow you win.

Why does Massacre Girl exist? Is it to prevent people from having fun playing aggro, and force them to buy shock lands? Is it because some MTGA dev thought Defile was such a fun spell in HS that it needed to be in MTGA too, and kill indestructible creatures too? I can't play my monored in peace anymore. Having trouble getting to Mythic with aggro, most of my collection hosed off to Historic and I'm really annoyed at the current meta and the fact that most decks are orders of magnitude more expensive than their pre-Eldraine counterparts.

I'd rather not burn 1/4 of my rare and mythic wildcards to build Golos but if this goes on I guess I will. Healing is also everywhere for...reasons? and matches are longer than they used to be. Even with aggro.

Bant, Golgari, and Simic, even Golos doesn't have that many more rares than any other deck. Usually jank drains my wildcards more than anything else. Also you're saying that you should be rewarded for spamming RDW? That there shouldn't be counters to a deck that's literally called Red Deck Wins? It sounds like you're mad that people are countering your easy deck and you can't pick up auto-pilot wins. If you want to play other decks you have to burn wild cards. It's just the way it is. WotC runs a business they don't necessarily want nothing but free to play players. In fact they've offered a really nice alternative in Arena where you can generate those cards pretty quick and for free.

Games take longer with aggro because there aren’t any aggro decks doing well right now. Maybe someone is able to meta game the MC with something but it’s looking increasingly unlikely. The only hope is that golos gets so inbred trying to beat the mirror that it abandons the things that shut aggro out

It's similar but not identical to defile, legendary, and five mana. It's like if Godfrey was half as strong and 9-10 mana. Massacre girl is honestly not very good at all. Playing aggro right now what pisses me off more is how easily three and four color decks are playing kayas wrath and time wipe on curve with the lovely mana we have. I'm literally losing games as a two color deck because I can't get double black mana by turn 4 and these cocksuckers are doing murderous rider into time wipe on curve.

Yeah Doltos I get it about Wotc business but I had almost every relevant deck complete before rotation and now I can't redeem my old useless cards, collection is gone, and trying to accumulate stuff by actually playing the game (which, while not opposed at all to spending money, I like best) is frustrating and much slower than before. Monored, monoblack and even rakdos aggro have all felt like like poo poo so far and it feels the game is actually telling me to play big dumb control decks or get hosed. I'm not even close to Mythic with more than twice the games compared to the last time I climbed.

Who are you even playing against that plays massacre girl? It's the worst board wipe vs Golos because it doesn't work by itself, and there aren't any good aggro decks right now. Maybe mono white or black but that's more tier 2.

Yeah that sounds like you're mad that you can't autowin with RDW anymore. The current control decks are real tough but since the inception of MTG:A aggro decks were running the meta. Aggro decks haven't been running the meta since Eldraine came out (little less than two weeks ago) and you're acting like it's a big gently caress you to you specifically. New players have always been gated behind cards which is why they gave them a ton of precons to play with now. Returning players should have had enough cards to flesh out a deck by now with their wildcards or their own brews. Players who don't want to spend money shouldn't be catered to, especially in a CCG.

The most boring and hostile metas are the ones where the game always ends on turn 4, if RDW is the best deck in the format that means it's loving garbage. Sorry you can't face roll to mythic any more and have to actually interact with your opponent. Also the best deck in urge format only uses 9 cards from the new set, and you probably have that many wildcards by now if you actually had "almost every relevant deck" before rotation.
