I am not sure what to do with this Sealed pool. Oko probably means I should go UG but do I add R? Royal Scions and that dragon seem good, maybe splash that and the burn spells? Green seems lacking otherwise so is Oko even worth it

uncommons, rares, mythic rares

commons

The store seems to be busted because I tried to redeem my avatar and sleeve and it gave me an error message and then says the code has been redeemed but I don't have my poo poo. Seems like a lot of people are having issues with buying boosters and not receiving them too, so support's going to have a lot of fun. Not sure if I should go ahead and contact them or wait for an official response that they already know and can fix things on their end.

Update: They're definitely aware, and you shouldn't buy or redeem anything until they fix it imo.

SEP 26 - Store Errors
Investigating - We are currently investigating reports of degraded performance when players attempt to make purchases and/or redeem codes. Players may see a "Store Error: An Unknown Error" message at this time.

Please wait a few minutes before attempting to try again. If you receive a "Code Redeem Success" message before experiencing the error, you should eventually receive your items.

Update2: Went back to the store and got the card sleeve and avatar, so the issue may not be that significant.

I'm bad at Magic, why is Oko so good? I could see alternating between the +2 to create a food and then +1 to turn it into a 3/3 creature, but that takes 2 turns

He's a huge nuisance that comes in at 3 mana and just sticks around making resources and loving with things unless you can remove him, which is hard

Well I burned through all 12 of my Play Any Deck games, whoever designed this event knew the best way to get me to want to crack a bunch of packs.

Went 6-6 with Henge, but I think I could definitely play better once I have a better idea of the other decks being played. This was the version I ended with



If I have four mana turn 3 it's pretty likely I start steamrolling and if I get a T5 Henge it's pretty explosive. Garenbrig is also very good at marginal gains, that one extra mana came into play in more than a few games.

Unless there's something that cracks this deck wide-open I think it might be a daily driver for me, Ceratops being extremely resilient to Simic Flash already has me enjoying things a lot more

im still tuning the deck, im not really bothering with food synergy beyond gilded goose so oko is just a hard to kill dude who steals creatures and makes food, and makes food into creatures

if i was playing a hydra i'd absolutely go with hydroid krasis, drawing cards rules

oh krasis is 100% in the deck i'm brewing, I bring up voracious hydra because with oko out you can end up with a t4 7/7 or a 5/5 that killed a thing when it came in

ah yeah that all sounds good, ive been trying to be more midrangish with nissa and questing beast at the top, if i wanted to be more rampy i'd prob be more along the lines you appear to be going

honestly i'll prob go that route eventually, not playing krasis has to be a mistake now that i'm thinking about it

If you activate wishclaw talisman while your Teferi's bounce ability is on the stack, the bounce still resolves because it doesn't leave play when it changes control, right? Seems pretty good for esper control, or is it too slow?

You can just bounce it after you've wished it's not like control matters for targetting.

Just a Fireborn Knight (not on 8 red sources), Wildwood Tracker and a bunch of the common artifact guys, Gingerbrute / Jousting Dummy / Henge Walker / Signpost Scarecrow. I figured with Sealed, might as well just be huge since the ground gets so gunked up. I might be wrong, but I am a Timmy at heart.

I'm tempted to try simic flash in the event just to see what it's like to be on the other side of the matchup I hate the most, but I'll probably go with something I actually think would be fun instead.

If you haven't decided to just quit playing the game since you're finding it frustrating, which would be a reasonable response, it might be a good idea to track your winrate for a bit and see if your perception matches up with reality. I'm not trying to say you're making poo poo up, but sometimes it can feel like you're losing a lot more than you're winning even if your winrate is close to 50% just because you focus too much on the negative to enjoy the positive. Obviously if you can't overcome that you shouldn't keep playing, since getting substantially over 50% in this game over the long term is very difficult given the matchmaking, but if your winrate is better than you think it is, maybe seeing that will help you feel better about your play.

Alternately, stick to the play queue if ranked is too stressful.
