Them putting Bo1 and Bo3 human drafts up immediately on Thursday means that I don't have to play Sealed at all, which might be the best announcement of all here. Now I just need to have Going Optimal or whoever figure out which is better for my gems with a 59% winrate, Bo1 or Bo3.

Kanfy posted:https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-digital/mtg-arena-state-game-april-2020-04-13 The bo1 payout is pretty drat good too. You break even if you can manage 3-2. The bo3 payouts are brutal but then it mimics FNM drafts where you either win or get nothing so I'm not as bothered by that. I wonder if this will change the rare drafting strategy, I can see a lot more rares getting passed in human drafts.

I'm debating whether or not to pick up the historic anthologies. I've actually been enjoying historic queue more than standard but I don't know if there's enough value there to justify investing. Think I'm just worried the 1st anthology will stop being offered and I'll regret it when historic becomes a more popular format.

I also love Historic and don't think buying the entire sets are really advisable. If you like to mess around with lots of stuff, sure, but you can craft the meta playables without nearly the investment. Also, Historic disappears Thursday and doesn't come back for 6-8 weeks, so at any rate don't spend $40 on it today.

I play orzhov sacrifice/tokens in brawl, and regularly get into the triple digit triggers. If you want your interface to stay sane, just don't run dawn of clumsy programming. That way they will resolve in a second.

They are sometimes maindeckable, especially in limited, but I'd look on them in constructed as a way to have That Card That You Really Want on the turn when you want it *without* having to include 4 copies of it in your deck. Or having to draw it.

I forget, are they doing a story thing with Ikoria? I still have no idea what happened in Theros besides Ashiok seeing Phyrexians in Elspeth's memories and loving off somewhere, but it's strange to realize that the lack of narrative connection makes a set/cards more forgettable.

This one feels like the same deal as Eldraine: establishing a plane and showing what's unique about it, while also introducing a Planeswalker native to it who will go on to be involved in other stuff.

I've played in two of these workshop events so far and both times the black deck has been complete and utter garbage and unable to beat either of the other two. What the hell? Why does the sapproling deck get nothing but overpriced dudes and sac spells that don't even pair with the stuff my opponents get?

Season of Growth ought to be a must-include in any mutation-heavy deck with green, since mutating a creature is "cast[ing] a spell that targets a creature you control". And if the target creature gets swatted before the mutation comes down, you get the ETB trigger as well.

My opp drew a bunch of Costly Plunder and I didn't get any draw so I lost by card disadvantage. Wafflecopper fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Apr 14, 2020 |

I'm sure this has already been discussed but I just looked at the mastery pass for Ikoria and the rewards seem to be pretty weak compared to the previous ones. Or am I misremembering?

Or am I misremembering? There's less of it partly because the season is shorter and partly because they're still trying to see how little they can get away with. Still costs the same as a large season, though. Lots of people seem to be planning on skipping it. I probably will make this my first skip.

I don't want to buy any more packs of Theros right now (I'm REALLY excited about Ikoria). I have 5k gold saved, what is my best bet to maximize my cards and gold?

Check the daily deals to see if anything catches your eye, otherwise save it for a Ranked Draft Ikoria.

Finish all your quests and weekly and whatever else, all that stuff has previously reset, and likely will on thursday. Do Brawl (it's apparently still free for the next month with a new reward) and maybe wait for the bo1 drafts to show up in may, the others are pretty vicious if you don't do super well, and I suspect there's not going to be more rares passed on average anyway. Or just crack packs and don't worry about it. Personally I'm going to do 1-2 drafts, using up the free one and the token from the theros pass, hoping to hit silver. Then waiting til bo1 in may. Probably buy some stuff with WCs for Brawl.

ranked draft entry is 5 packs worth of gold or 3.75 packs worth of gems, so it's definitely better if you're spending gems on it

So does the Mastery Pass just get you stuff earlier than you would by grinding? Or do you get stuff you wouldn't get otherwise?
