It feels like a lot of the strategies they set out for limited there are pretty reliant on synergies, so drawing payoffs without the enablers really blows.

I think the game is now force-hibernating my computer if I turn it off after a network error? That doesn't make any sense but it's happened twice now.

That card seems like it won't be too hard to make the downside not matter in the right deck.

Is Historical Draft just going to clog up the slot for other Standard drafts now? That's kinda poo poo.

Not sure what you're referring to. Ranked draft is currently Bo1 Eldraine and Dominaria. There's also unranked Bo3 Eldraine. The Dominaria slot rotates every 2 weeks, last week it was War of the Spark. What draft are you looking for? Dominaria is famously one of the best limited environments of all time, real fun!

edit: In two weeks, Theros is coming out and the formats will probably be Theros Sealed and Bo3 draft unranked and Bo1 Eldraine Ranked. They take 2 weeks to set up the ranked bots for the new sets usually.

Either Ravnica set.

Some early footage of that game announced at the TGAs. Diablo but with all your moves being Magic spells and creatures sounds like it could be fun to mess around with.

Anyone been getting an 'unknown error, request timeout' error message when opening Arena? Been happening for me since yesterday, and a couple other people apparently.

Ran into a Brawl player who apparently just jammed every single counterspell possible into his deck, no matter how bad. His commander was that giant from Theros that makes your big spells uncounterable.

Oh, I thought it was just some guy who made it for a dumb joke, that's a lot less funny if it's actually meant as a semi-serious build. Wish I'd had a hand that could have beat it now.

This one feels like the same deal as Eldraine: establishing a plane and showing what's unique about it, while also introducing a Planeswalker native to it who will go on to be involved in other stuff.

There feels like an absolute shitload of removal in this set.

It doesn't help three color decks seem very common which just increases the amount of cards you need to consider when doing anything. It's kind of a headache, more than Eldraine or Theros anyway.

I believe it's just a weird way the game does triggers. You get the option to respond to them playing it and her using her effect, just not for after she hits the board.

Was playing some Green/Black pile in Historic and I probably could have beat them if they weren't running Ugin and drew it every game. I sided in Despark but it's still such a massive card difference even if you delete him right away. Is there any better way of dealing with people who splash him in besides outright countering him?

Taking a look at what cards were removed For AKR;

They seem to have removed more than half of the Embalm/Eternalize cards, and I think that drove up the average rarity by removing a lot of bread-and-butter cards for building decks around the mechanics like Trueheart Duelist, Unwavering Initiate and Steadfast Sentinal. If I had to guess, they couldn't print all of them into a single set and preserving ones included for constructed like Champion of Wits pushed out the draft fodder. Hooded Hydra and Heart-Piercer Manticore I guess got left out to keep the mechanics in UW, but I think it would have been nice if a few of the common ones could have made it in.

No Plague Belcher? :(

Had a game just now where someone played Muxus, whiffed (which is to say, didn't get a hit that's guaranteed to kill me), and then sacced all his monsters for another Muxus that did work. Never thought I'd see goblins be a solitaire deck.
