Bugsy posted:Huh? I just started a game and alt tabbed while it was finding an opponent, and when I tabbed back as soon as a match was found I was given this screen. I’ve only had that happen when I start a queue, realize I have to go do something, and spam “cancel search” to no avail for a minute solid and then it starts a match and gives a draw.

How did everyone feel about Zendikar? I came back to magic at the tail end of Core 2021 after being more or less absent from magic for like 20 years. I thought Zendikar seemed like a pretty fun set overall and I had fun bot-drafting it (I’ll move up to the big leagues some day). I liked the party mechanic more than I thought I would. edit: spelling imagine dungeons fucked around with this message at 02:19 on Jan 20, 2021 |

Captain Invictus posted:Clerics and Rogues in ZR are very strong, cleric decks are obnoxiously synergistic where if they get even a few of the fuckers on the field you'll start seeing triggered effects ping-ponging back and forth constantly unless you wipe the board and unless that board wipe is a Shadow's Verdict, they're going to be plucking fuckers from the yard constantly. I liked BW clerics quite a bit. Even made a deck for standard that might drag me through plat and into diamond finally!

Opinionated posted:For Zendikar the MDFC's are mostly great, not as into party. I feel it's a somewhat weak mechanic when compared to landfall or adventures. It takes a lot to get a decent payoff, most of the "full party" payoffs seem weak for the amount of setup. I never was able to get much of a party going in limited either so that adds to my negative opinion~ I only ever had one full party big time payoff and it was with Squad Commander and I didn’t even notice that all my dudes were indestructible and it won me the game. Felt pretty good. Otherwise I maybe had one or two full party Malakir Blood Priests. I’m sure all of these were thanks to Stonework Packbeast.

Wezlar posted:Party payoffs in limited are amazing and it is basically the best strategy when you aren't the only person at the table in a tribe (kicker is a tribe) Oh yeah I liked it, I just never pulled off full party much, which was totally expected. I thought it was a cool secondary synergy option if you missed on having like all warriors in the RW deck or are short on clerics in BW as well.

fadam posted:Gotta say, I'm usually not much of a limited guy (too dumb, sweaty) but I'm having a blast with this format. Might become a 17lands poster... I’m the opposite. Limited is easier for me because I’m working with less variables. It’s hard for me to wrap my brain around all of the options available in the other formats. Also, it kind of scratches a gambling itch.

Gynovore posted:Jumpstart was a fun idea but terrible execution. Every single Jumpstart booster would have been improved by cutting the two shittiest cards and replacing them with basics. Jumpstart was active when I first started playing Arena. I definitely spent all my gems from my starter pack and gold too on the mash two decks together thing. It was kinda fun gambling but I definitely spent too much of my currency on it. Never bought any of the boosters.

Information is power friendo I can't tell you how many times I've looked at my hand and literally said to myself "If I play this tap land the first turn, I will curve out and run away with this game!" and then just play a regular mana and end up effectively a turn behind. edit: Holy poo poo. imagine dungeons fucked around with this message at 08:26 on Apr 1, 2021 |

I know Lords of Limited has a discord but you might need to be a patron to access that. For other resources there are the Lords of Limited or Limited Resources podcasts that have an overview of some cards/themes. Also helpful is Nizzahon’s Strixhaven Archetype guide on YouTube because that one just gives you a breakdown of how the color pairs synergize and what they’re intended to do together.

Help me figure out what I'm doing wrong, please. I'm playing mono black auras and have 3 mana up with 2 Village Rights and a Malakir Rebirth in my hand I have a Hateful Eidolon, Lurrus, and a Mire Triton in play and the opponent has an empty board and some mana. On their turn they drop an Ugin and waste all of my creatures but I never got priority to cast my Village Rights or Malakir Rebirth on my creatures before they were killed. Do I have to go full control to do this? When do I do that? As soon as Ugin hits the board?
