Justin_Brett posted:I dunno why they show you what your opponent is looking at anyway, doesn't seem to add much either way. If you want to look at an opponent’s GY or closely read one of their cards on paper you can, but they will know. Same idea I think. Same if you’re staring at/playing with a card in your hand during responses, it might be a tell or you might be bluffing but your opponent has the opportunity to see it. The cards in hand is a little weird, but the only thing you gain from mousing over that is seeing a count of cards in hand. Which again, you can ask your opponent IRL, but they will know.

babypolis posted:limited seems like it will be based around grabbing as many adventures as you can It'll be interesting, it seems like adventure decks will be trying to grind out incremental advantage and every card is built in card advantage, but there are some powerful aggro options in the other colors. Like I can see how "low powered instant into low powered creature, BUT IN ONE CARD" will have trouble keeping up with the guy slamming knights and turning them sideways turns 2-6 for Murderous Rider in limited, murder stapled to a creature is way more palatable at rare, where you may only see it once every few drafts, rather than at uncommon where you could see it multiple times per game.

AngryBooch posted:Arclight Phoenix? Gruul Arclight Phoenix? What the hell? List? Very much a rough draft, slapped this together with the first cards that came to mind after getting beat up by it. dunno that itll ever be that good because the card draw options are so limited in gruul, but it absolutely can pop off 4 Merchant of the Vale (ELD) 131 9 Forest (ELD) 269 4 Edgewall Innkeeper (ELD) 151 9 Mountain (ELD) 265 4 Rosethorn Acolyte (ELD) 174 4 Lovestruck Beast (ELD) 165 4 Thrill of Possibility (ELD) 146 4 Arclight Phoenix (GRN) 91 4 Shock (M20) 160 4 Stomping Ground (RNA) 259 4 Once Upon a Time (ELD) 169 3 Lucky Clover (ELD) 226 3 Bonecrusher Giant (ELD) 115 The inkeeper and lucky clover are better engines than you'd think, but the deck loses when it fizzles on card draw. Sometimes you just win on the back of the 5/5 beasts and 4/3 giants without ever getting a phoenix into play, especially if you are doubling up their adventures. Time posted:I’m betting it uses once upon a time to get a free spell, then two single cmc things to go to town. That’s a cool concept Yeah, thats how it gets there on T2 - once upon a time -> rosethorn acolyte -> haggle You could theoretically get double T2 phoenix with the nut draw. The interaction that is awesome but not obvious is lucky clover into the Rosethorn Acolyte adventure Seasonal Ritual - turns G into 2 mana of any color and can help accelerate starting on T3 Squinky v2.0 fucked around with this message at 21:01 on Sep 29, 2019 |

flatluigi posted:yeah I don't think I'm going to draft until the next bot update. fighting people with 4-5 secretkeepers is maddening I did a bunch of drafts today and while I think it’s possible to draft a good deck that isn’t UB or GB it’s soooo easy to be one of those things it’s hard to not go that direction Way too easy to come up a bit short as aggro, and there aren’t many good ways to get ahead other than perfect draws. All the card advantage is in black and blue All made worse because secret keeper being an 0/4 that mills 4 is absurd and the bots treat them a step above basic lands

Drafted a mono U deck with 2 secret keeper, 2 lucky clover, 2 run away together and a ton of card draw Milling for 8 a few times is pretty stupid The 3 copies of the mono u land are seriously over performing in this specific deck too. When you’re recurring run away together, turn into a pumpkin, and that draw 3 / scry 3 that’s big value

Doltos posted:You know whats worse than Oko in standard is Oko in limited Yes, but I’m usually more willing to forgive busted mythical in limited because they ruin far fewer games by the numbers. Though Oko is particularly frustrating in limited because he pretty much WILL win you the game but it might take a while, which is just awful to play against. Most busted mythics will at least end the game in a few turns

I think the eldraine arena bots are the best they’ve ever been 4 drafts tonight, absolutely stomped to 7 wins with RW and RG, 4 wins with an ugly UG pile and 2-3 with UB control that was too light on removal. The UB control stuff that you could reliably grab very late is clearly going higher. no more merfolk, so tiny, didn’t say please etc on the wheel, if you want that stuff you’ve actually got to go take it. I definitely played against a lot fewer control/mill decks overall Certainly not perfect but we’ve come a long way i poop fire posted:Thanks for the codes. Embercleave seems like it will be good in every arena format for quite a while, so not a bad place to start

Those listed cards also don’t count when opening packs. Only the normal ELD rares can be pulled, so the game will give you 20 gems instead of a rare even if you don’t have 4 copies of the random brawl artifact or whatever weird thing from the planeswalker starter decks. Doesn’t affect the odds of whether you get a mythic or not. it does a check for whether you pulled a mythic or rare, then figures out which specific rare you get based on dupe protection.

Went 3-2 with the white deck in like 15 minutes total. Mulligan aggressively until you have some acceleration so you can do something unfair on turn 1 or 2 and just try and get them dead. Outcome should be pretty clear by turn 6 or so.

Rakdos knights or grull stuff (both with embercleave) can bash the cat deck before it can dig in People have mentioned specific hate cards, like cry and brontodon, ley line of the void is another Even doing those things it is a real drag to play against

thespaceinvader posted:I've been trying to figure this one out myself, sometimes I go straight down, others I'll plateau for quite a lot of matches. I think maybe it only puts you down if the match was against someone lower ranked? None of those red cards is great, the paladin and ogre knight are meh playable and fling is a sometimes one of. You do have to consider quality not just quantity. Though there was that rim rock knight last pack which also suggests red may be open. At the moment I see us as likely a white deck that will probably play some blue cards but could still pivot to a different splash. It’s possible we could still flip white/blue in that sentence, but arena bot preferences makes seeing white good stuff more likely than blue. We are already seeing the case for carriage over yorvo - yorvo is indeed the better card, but only goes in one deck. The carriage would be in our deck for sure.

Enjoyed my first two sealed runs a lot, there’s a lot to pay attention to in this format - lots of threats but lots of answers, many of which are situational. I do think seeing the best line will be harder than in many sets, which is good. Just gotta cross our fingers the bots are reasonably good at drafting it. There are no collect-em-all type gimmicks or cards you want to stack infinite copies of outside the obvious cards that are just good anyway. That seems to be what really messes with the bots - cards that are meaningless with one copy but ridiculous with 3+ (secretkeeper plus run away together in eldraine, even Seven Dwarfs in late stage ELD, weaponsmith and bow in M20)

It’s also a card that might as well not have any text on it prior to turn 6 or so. you’ve got time to find a copy.

The only way to beat Dream Trawler in limited is to have already effectively won. The two times I’ve successfully dealt with dream trawler so far: - Had the knockoff Wrath of God in hand already - Deny the divine in hand Otherwise, yeah you’re boned. That card really ought to be mythic.

Unlucky7 posted:I haven't played in a few months and I did not have all the decks unlocked. I think it was said in the last thread that the mono colored starter decks were kind of crappy and that had been my experience last night with the mono red starter (Dome Destruction). The cheap but still pretty good deck is going to be some flavor of mono red, probably featuring cavalcade of calamity. Most of the cards doing serious work are common/uncommon. I’m sure people would be happy to post better lists, but here’s a random one off google: https://blog.blacklotusgo.com/cavalcade-of-calamity-in-throne-of-eldraine-standard/ Re: codes, this has them all https://www.reddit.com/r/MagicArena/comments/d9x4ul/updated_all_mtga_promo_codes_todate/ Dr. Stab posted:You get hourglasses as the match goes on (I don't know how the game awards them, but It doesn't really matter) Just to add to this - you get an extra hourglass if you go 2 turns without having the rope timer pop up. The hourglass gives you another 30 seconds after the rope runs out, and you can use multiples consecutively if you really need to think about a turn. In general you really should not feel pressured by the timer at all. In the moments where you need to think the extra timers are more than enough. It’s very lenient and mostly there to limit how much time someone can spend being a jerk if they are losing and mad, not so much to make you play “fast”.

When I'm like "this is okay I guess I should pick up a couple of wins at least" I win the draft I drafted a deck a few days ago and didn’t play the games then because I thought the deck sucked and I didn’t feel like cranking out losses Tonight I decided to run it into the ground and start over. It’s currently 5-0. I still think it’s trash, but it’s been getting my opponent to 0...
