I can't wait for them to add old cards with Banding to Arena. Bring back what Magic was like when it was good.

strange feelings re Daisy posted:Oh god I'm having flashbacks of calling the judge over. Wheel of Sun and Moon, Sages of the Anima and Suppression Field are in play, I activate the Grandeur ability of Linessa, Zephyr Mage. My hand is empty. I sacrifice Linessa to Thermopod to pay for one mana of the Suppression Field cost, Wheel of Sun and Moon puts it on the bottom my library which has two other cards in it. I activate Chromatic Sphere while paying for the other mana. Because Sages of the Anima replaces the draw with a reveal, I reveal my entire library, including Linessa, Zephyr Mage. I put Linessa, Zephyr Mage into my hand and discard it to pay for the Grandeur cost.

Golos Field is 42% and they had to split it into multiple decks just to make it look less dire.

Doltos posted:Honestly I've been having insane success with aggro gruul whooping on Golos and it feels like banning Fields of the Dead early isn't healthy and will set a precedent for future early bans. I didn't realize how much this deck absolutely wrecks Golos and I'm wondering why more people aren't running it to completely shift the meta. I can't even tell if the  is intended or not here.But talk about unhealthy precedents.

Also no, this isn't just the usual whining. Oko Momir sucks just that bad. It sucks worse than the planeswalker Momir and that's saying something. This is just flipping coins. It's mindnumbing and it takes way too long for what it is. I'm pretty sure I've just flat out never played a worse format of Magic. I'd rather play Planeshift Commander for crying out loud.

A bit "because I don't trust WotC to not price the card skins more expensively sold piecemeal", a lot "I like Momir in general and found even the planeswalker Momir tolerable".

Dr. Stab posted:Right, and I go through, like, one draft a week, So at the end of each draft, I've earned enough to enter the next one. ... you ARE trolling, right? To go infinite in Arena, you need to average 750 gems per Bo1 draft, so 5.5 wins, just in case anyone's confused.

Dr. Stab posted:My point is that "going infinite" is kind of a silly concept. The phrase assumes that time is not a factor. A better phrase would be "just barely breaking even." Making 50 cents an hour playing magic isn't "infinite," it's 50 cents an hour playing magic. So, yes. Good. I have no idea how I'm supposed to deal with someone posting something that dumb sincerely. Anyway the term makes sense and has been established for years now, and your post ignores that some people might enjoy playing Magic, which, yes, is both objectively morally wrong as well indicative of deep problems with the victim's personality, but it still happens.

Oh, Magic Online had the players making money by going infinite. That changes the work/fun balance a lot. You can't really take out the gems from Arena so the only reason to even aim to go infinite is to either prove you can or because you enjoy playing. It is possible to play enough where the daily gold doesn't cut it if you got nothing else to do. And presumably enjoy it? And making up stupid or silly names for things is the Magic player habit directly between "complaining about variance" and "insisting the cards are investments", so that's never going away.

InterrupterJones posted:This poor bastard I just played against did Momir on 6, got Demonlord Belzenlok, exiled his whole library, and lost the next turn...why the gently caress is that an option??? Do they not think to filter their card additions for Momir to not have something that could make you immediately lose the game? Changing this would, unironically, completely ruin Momir and make it a format that would cause a million complaints every time it came up. They know it happens. They're not changing it. This is unironically a good WotC decision, something in short supply recently.

Bust Rodd posted:Right and my point is that it’s the only card in standard that works that way or uses that rule, and that rule is extremely obtuse and arcane and it’s just a really sloppy interaction and I’m sure it’s possible to clean up LOTS of the stupid “layers” bullshit without breaking formats. Just Loll You're extremely wrong here. You would absolutely break formats, no you can't clean up the layers bullshit and if you put any effort into thinking about what you post this would be obvious. The entire reason that bullshit exists is to eliminate corner cases where nobody's sure what happens and you'd have to ban a lot of cards to make that problem go away.

If you want to play Standard right now, here's a helpful tip - don't! Jesus WotC how do you keep doing this. This is the least fun Standard since Arena started and that's REALLY saying something by now. When will they learn their lesson about "cards playable in any color can be a problem". Never? Yes.

jmzero posted:What's the colorless card that's ruining Standard right now? Fabled Passage? Ugin? Ugin with the billion ways to get him out fast, and no deck which checks that, which means either you count on high volume with aggro ooor you're stuck in the really boring mirror match. Not a fan of Stonecoil either, no. Way too good a blocker.

If you want to deal with Ugin, you play a control deck with answers since there's so many ways to ramp to Ugin so fast now. Wait, all of the decks with answers to Ugin also play Ugin? Well hope you enjoy Ugin!

Time posted:Yeah, 5 is realistic and happens a lot. Its also really bad for a low power format to have ugin around on 5. I just wanted to point out that it needs an absolute nuts draw to hit on 4 and that its statistically pretty unlikely Getting your aggro deck blown out by a turn 4 Ugin after five turn 5 Ugins tends to stick in your mind.
