I'm currently getting infinite roped by a player during a draft, that's really fun. Fix your fuckin' servers, Wotc.

EDIT: ah, what the gently caress, I just lost my draft because of maintenance? Warn me before you fix your fuckin' servers, Wotc.

I got a popup in the middle of a game saying maintenance was starting soon

I didn't get anything, and I'm pretty sure I'm not getting the draft refunded either. I might just have been unlucky and logged in right after last warning, or I missed a warning in the draft screen.

I already lost my Kaldheim draft because of lovely servers so that sucks. Barely have time to draft nowadays and tech issues keep fuckin' me over.

edit: okay, they said no downtime, so hopefully I just lost this one match due to server fuckery instead of losing out on the last two hours to finish the draft

That sucks, hopefully it's not too catastrophic. poo poo's definitely been extra buggy since the season change

I just opened the game and got into a game almost immediately. Maybe I'm just lucky

Modular Junkyard is pretty drat fun and has good synergy with the different artifact effects from each pack

Is there anything worse than having someone consistently, persistently playing slowly for an entire game. Never roping, never dropping, but just consistently taking forever to make every move.

It’s absolutely my least favorite thing in the world made worse by the fact that there’s no way to communicate except emotes

I'm extremely curious what you'd want to communicate, and if you think it'd make the other player play faster.

I'd like to yell "GO FASTER" at them

Probably not a ton of people are playing the standard 2022 queue because they can’t use their precious bonecrusher giants

I thought I would enjoy the historic pauper event more but I only started playing about a month ago so I have very little in the way of older cards. I have to build mostly from the standard legal stuff which doesn't give me nearly as many options

Is there any reason whatsoever to keep all the preconstructed decks in my decklist. I would assume no

So, when do we start tracking day/night? When the game begins or when a permanent with daybound/nightbound first enters the battlefield? I'm having trouble parsing the language on Day. It looks like you don't track until a permanent enters the battlefield or if a card would automatically set it to day or night.

Looks like it’s as you say, start tracking it when a day/nightbound permanent enters the battlefield or a card sets time of day

I'm a little baby who enjoys bells and whistles and I'm actually excited to see what the night and day animations are gonna look like MTG Arena

I'm also the kind of person who never gets bored with the animations certain rares and mythic legends get. I like fun little aesthetic things!

I love slamming down Koma and seeing a huge rear end serpent slither around the battlefield

Well they definitely didn't fix the server issues. I'm getting forever queue sometimes, and a game I was in just completely poo poo itself and wouldn't accept commands, then was just gone (with no win, so oppo didn't concede) when I closed and reopened the client, so it's worse than it was before the downtime.

Yeah poo poo seems slightly hosed right now

I did really badly for the event, but I eventually got my two wins. The removal in the black deck seemed really powerful.

Same. I mostly tried the red/white deck but the black deck seemed to have the biggest advantage overall

I've really enjoyed 2022 standard. I wouldn't mind if they added a permanent mini-standard where only the last 4 sets are legal to keep things fresh.

Yeah I'm enjoying it too. Feels more balanced than non-2022 lol

Also, the best brawl commander right now might be Sethis (the WG enchantment creature from MH2). I have yet to play a game against her that I felt at any point like I had a chance.

I built a Sythis deck and she rules but I've lost a couple games. Actually last night I played a game against someone with Serra and they got the badge where you can't get below 1 health from damage if you have creatures and I was out of creature removal by that point so this happened and I drew myself to death:
