Haven't played Amonkhet in forever. Any thoughts? Maybe swap out resolve for another creature? Or go more in on zombies? At least I remember it's aggressive.

Jabor posted:If you have a deck you enjoy playing right now, my advice would be to save up and pour your gold into drafts of the next set once it comes out. What's the logic here? Opening packs will spread out the rares I guess. So you get more gems from drafting dupes? I'm sure it's sensible but I'm not quite seeing it.

p1p1 parrot, p2 lion, p3 reflection, p4 lurrus, then I had to hedge with black cards and thought I was totally pushed out of the deck until p3p3 zenith flare (??) so I feel like I am a bit low on payoffs. I think it'll mostly get there though? We'll see. Also I have a wilt and some off colour crystals. How all in do you have to be on cycling to include cycle {2} cards that are otherwise unplayable?

Siid posted:I had the same thing. I have my client installed through Epic launcher but generally just run the exe to launch it. I had to re-launch the game through Epic to get it to load and update. So if that is anything similar to yours, maybe try that. Yup that was it. A 'you need to upgrade' message was too much to ask for I guess lol.

Sinteres posted:It would be cool if people hosed around with kitchen table jank more, but when the game's economy explicitly rewards wins, everyone has an incentive to play the best decks available instead. On stop of people just liking to win games anyway of course. Sometimes things do devolve into a terrible meta but that's Magic. That and how permanent wildcard redemption rather than dusting or buybacks strongly discourages experimentation.

That's a pretty imprecise question. Could you rephrase it perhaps? Generally speaking they follow a stack, first in last out order.

snyprmag posted:Is there a way to choose to order of attack triggers on the phone version? Been playing Targ Nar in brawl and it always resolves his boost before creating Battle Cry Goblin's token. You have to unselect auto stack triggers in the settings then you can choose when multiple happen simultaneously. It adds tedium but wheen it can't infer correctly it's the only way.

Insurrectionist posted:If you picked the second one you could have drawn both every game and been stuck with one in hand though... Yes, they'll have different names on each side. Anyways I am with everyone else UB is busted and I keep getting 6th pick organ hoarders. All the decayed cards work so well together and you have the best removal. It takes a really good draw to run you over and it's hard to lose the long game.

Still on the UB train myself. Though Tovolar got me to try RG and went pretty well. I've been pretty resistant to mulliganing and I've only really been losing to those clunky one colour draws. I feel like you can win with just commons so if you get good rares it's like cheating.

resistentialism posted:Edge case you might want to know about : If you phase a daybound/nightbound card out it won't be able to transform on the turn it phases back in. If you encountered this online it feels like a bug. Daybound/night found cards always match the state asap. quote:702.145c Any time a player controls a permanent that is front face up with daybound and it’s night, that player transforms that permanent. This happens immediately and isn’t a state-based action.

Pablo Nergigante posted:No I mean like those ones that Bust Rodd posted. I noticed it in the Jumpstart sliver pack. Before that all I knew were the bug hive slivers from stronghold  The in-story reason is the m14 redesigned ones are Shandalar slivers, which evolved independently and differently and are more humanoid compared to Rath/Dominaria ones.The business art-direction reason? I guess they thought it would be more popular that way? They also removed the symmetry and people totally rejected it, it was a big fail. They even cheekily went back to original art on sliver hive which was printed in the next core set for 3 month overlap iirc.

That seems like extremely low numbers of support cards for them actually. I'd want a good 10-15 other disturb & spirit cards to think of using them.

0-3 with UR, 7-0 with UB. The draft gods have spoken. I've become convinced that if you're on the draw and don't have a play on 1 or 2 you are basically dead against any half competent deck. Additionally flip the switch is only good if you've got a bit of power on the board already so you need many many 1 and 2 drops.

 Cuts? I'm thinking cathar commando unruly mob startle galedrifter maybe ?? How good is the sifters mending all graveyard approach anyway? Should I cut the non disturb things instead and go all in? Already cut third trapper, and some 5 drops in soul guide gryff and stormrider spirit.

Trip report: 1-3 with the UW above, after cutting the mendings and some other stuff. Pretty poor draws I think contributed, but it felt very underpowered and even after looting I never had time to deploy my creatures. Jumped right back in and went 7-1 with pretty good UB, again.  Of all the times I've drafted it I've only been cut once so hard that it didn't overperform.

Yes they give you some hoops in order to get the bonus of the backside. Do the bonuses justify the hoops? Well, not in this set apparently and unfortunately. At least this time round if you get it to night the rest of your ones in hand come down big already, and you can get there deterministically. Lots of them have activated abilities to spend your mana on as well

Seems like the first thing you'd unit test with sludge monster but what do I know.

darkroast posted:Might be your timing, I haven't had any issues moving to combat and setting a stop after combat damage to corpse cobble decayed tokens. Do it before declaring attacks even, so it doesn't blow through it. Should put a ring around the phase you set the stop in. But like trying to time hitting full control - the animations etc play long after the client has run the math so if you don't set it in advance it'll blow right thru because it's already past that phase

I haven't been playing long enough to compare with any previous ones and I value the cosmetics at zero. I haven't ever gotten over the stupid mentality of hoarding rare+ wildcards either so dont' really know where to value the packs and icrs either. 100 gems is basically nothing though.

Is it just me or is the payout of the upcoming draft challenge just loving miserable? Assuming 50% winrate over the entire playerbase, a mathematical certainty, we have the following distribution of outcomes: pre:1/1 (0,0) 1/2 (0,1) 1/2 (1,0) 1/4 (0,2) 1/2 (1,1) 1/4 (2,0) 1/4 (0,2) 1/4 (1,2) 3/8 (2,1) 1/8 (3,0) 1/4 (0,2) 1/4 (1,2) 3/16 (2,2) 1/4 (3,1) 1/16 (4,0) 1/4 (0,2) 1/4 (1,2) 3/16 (2,2) 1/8 (3,2) 5/32 (4,1) 1/32 (5/0) 1/4 (0,2) 1/4 (1,2) 3/16 (2,2) 1/8 (3,2) 5/64 (4,2) 3/32 (5,1) 1/64 (6/0) 1/4 (0,2) 1/4 (1,2) 3/16 (2,2) 1/8 (3,2) 5/64 (4,2) 3/64 (5,2) 3/64 (6,1) 1/64 (6/0) 1/4 * 0 1/4 * .5 3/16 * .5 + 3x 1/8 * 1 + 6x 5/64 * 1.5 + 10x 3/64 * 1.5 + 15x 1/16 * 2 + 20x Maybe premiere draft is this bad also and I never bothered to work it out but that is a huge vig.

I don't understand how you can launch in this state. How different can your internal and public realms be that you miss something so widespread. It demonstrates such shoddy engineering practices I'm surprised, even with the low esteem I already hold for hasbro and tech related stuff.
