Well I just got killed by an Omni mono-U mill deck and I had to sit through them repeatedly casting Scholar of the Ages to confirm the kill so I guess that's it for me with this event

Wish I had a blood for bones, casue thats all this deck needed. Still went 7-1.



Scholar recurring unsummon and act of treason was the most common win. Could also mill with sages row or ping with corpse knight.

Oh hey

Went 25- 25 this event, not the greatest. I guess I had to regress to the mean even in this format and I will never ever go above 51% winrate

I'm down to live by the RNG and die by the RNG, especially when I get a Cavalier of Flame, but can multiple opponents not Diviner's Lockbox correctly-guess the top card of their deck without any kind of advance knowledge?

Edit: Also no fun when your internet goes down for one minute and sixteen seconds.

That's enough time to lose your turn, and losing your turn in this mode means losing the game.

I AM UNJUSTIFIABLY PROUD OF MY SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE RECIPE

YES, IT IS AN INCREDIBLY SIMPLE DISH

NO, IT IS NOT NORMAL TO USE A PEPPERAMI INSTEAD OF MINCED MEAT

YES, THERE IS TOO MUCH SALT IN MY RECIPE

NO, I WON'T STOP SHARING IT

more like BOLLOCKnese
Silver constructed has been easy for me this go round, lots of tier 1 decks piloted badly

So many people concede to a resolved Nissa, especially if she's ahead of schedule

what the gently caress

have i been misunderstanding the "protection from" mechanic this entire time or is arena loving with me

it should prevent all damage from the protected source color. in this situation a green creature with trample is blocked by a black creature with protection from green with toughness that would otherwise allow trample damage through. since all damage is prevented, why does any damage trample through?

The trampler has to assign damage equal to the creature's toughness but otherwise the rest can go through

Your example is literally the one they use in Rule 702.19b

"Example: A 6/6 green creature with trample is blocked by a 2/2 creature with protection from green. The attacking creature’s controller must assign at least 2 damage to the blocker, even though that damage will be prevented by the blocker’s protection ability. The attacking creature’s controller can divide the rest of the damage as they choose between the blocking creature and the defending player."

The attacking creature only needs to assign lethal damage to the defender, and the rest gets to trample through.

The fact that the damage to the creature later gets prevented doesn't change this.

Didn't you already post this in the other thread and multiple people responded?

Worth bearing in mind how this works with deathtouch too, as lots of players miss deathtouch/trample combo until they experience it. If your 6/6 deathtouch trample creature is blocked by a 6/6 then you assign 1 to the defender and let 5 trample through

You need to set up full control to assign only 1 damage to the defender, correct?

You don't need full control, only turn off auto assign damage in the menu. In any case I think the game will handle deathtouch trample properly on its own

Weird, why would it do that? You just pick the directory when you install it.
