I've been having trouble winning games lately because all I'm seeing in low gold is monowhite life gain and the monoblue deck I keep playing can't deal damage fast enough to keep up

I should just do a red burn deck until I get out of the rut, I guess that would be a counter to impassioned oras and leonin warleaders?

Its fundamentally awful game design. There are so many cards in there that are just complete nonbos with omniscience. The stinky cherry on top is that there is literally no incentive for the opponent to even stick around if you start going off so you never even get to do cool poo poo.

IMO, the morally correct thing to do is get your 2 wins, then immediately turn around and concede 5 more matches.

I've done my eight concedes, it would be awesome to get the second win. My opponents have hit absolutely nut draws and despite aggressively mulliganing I've had poo poo luck. I hit Tegrid's Lantern (which would have been a T1 kill) but of course they happened to have that crush contraband in their opening hand. gently caress. :negative:

The meta shifts constantly, and selection/confirmation bias is real; I hit mythic last month with bant CoCo angels and this month I can't get out of plat with it. Like elbkaida said just throw something else together and give it a whirl.

Play everything you can play. It's barely going to matter, since either you'll combo in to a win or they will, it's not like thinking about it matters at all. I dunno what takes so long. :shrug:

Mat Cauthon posted:

This early in the season I find myself playing against a lot of people who have no idea how to properly pilot their decks in Diamond or Plat, which makes the field a lot softer at those higher levels.

I'm still on Azorious Auras, which doesn't feel quite as outmatched as it did even a couple of weeks ago. Not quite sure why, but the climb has been pretty smooth so far. Haven't tweaked the deck recently but I think the build that runs all 1 CMC auras is the way to go aside from All That Glitters, slowing down to cast Staggering Insight is rarely worth it.

Have you tried the UB lists? I haven't played UW at all; I enjoy UB.

A common line is to tap out for a sram or spiritdancer, let it die, then claim it back and double suit it up the next turn. Feels good.

no, you'll start getting 20 gems instead of a rare. and slowly make vault progress https://magicarena.fandom.com/wiki/Vault

if all you care about is turning gold into gems it's certainly a way to do it, but it's more worth it to learn to draft instead

Even if you go 0 wins in draft you get more gems than by turning 5 packs into 100 gems.

Yeah I've dabbled with the Orzhov builds here and there. I might switch over, that version just has so much more resiliency than the Azorius version in the current meta.

I'm a returning newb, haven't played since 5/6 editions. Played my first FNM on Arena with Omniscience, and got the two wins. The second seemed pretty funny. They played a Ashlok, Sculptor of Fears, that at -11 they would take control of all my creatures. I was holding them off, but they already had a slight advantage in creatures, and it was just a matter of time. No sense playing good creatures until they bit. Then my luck turned around:

* I pulled Chromatic Orrery, which let me build up my hand. On one use I managed to draw four or five cards.

* I played my first ever plainswalker... and it was Nicol Bolas. Not bad. More drawing.

* Drawing all these cards got me Prison Realm.

I exiled Ashlok, and my opponent immediately conceded. Life score was 23 to 21, but they had no hand, while I had eight cards, filled to the brim with monsters.

I don't mind it, if it is a short event like this. It's just silly fun. This wasn't designed to have good design, it's just a goof.
