kater posted:Are all the built-in tells Arena has good or bad? I don't play counterspells so its not like I've seen them many times, but they just added visuals to check lands this last patch and I unno it seems a bit much. Not that I haven't been not paying attention before and screwed up. Are you talking about the phases halting if you have something to play vs when you don't? If I have a instant or something I try to mash pass after the last thing I want to do for the turn resolves (like after combat) so it doesn't halt. Elsewise, in one way I hate that there's a highlight if you, say, look at someones graveyard. On the other hand when the other person is playing I'll just go through their graveyard randomly. If I don't have a graveyard-targeting spell then I hope they keep thinking I do. Or instead if I do have a graveyard-targeting spell then maybe they'll just think I'm an idiot for looking a lot (which is kind of true). I do also highlight random cards in play a lot but mostly because I'm not familiar with them at all.

God. I really wish there was a Wow! emote. It would be nice to compliment people at times, but right now I have gone 8 turns with the fairy deck without being able to play anything.

So if RNG works out for you then you might hit about that number due to 750xp dailies.

So day one i got four Garruks and three Yorvos so I guess i have to go green. I did also get a ton of black and red knights so i could go that route. I saw a nice black/red knights deck yesterday but I cant find it on recent pages of this thread. I barely look anywhere else for mtg info so i dont know where I saw it. I was wondering how the client would handle Seven Dwarves. I only got one copy but I have an infinite symbol over it in my collection.

For Happily Ever After "6 or more card types" the official rules I looked up say tribal is a card type. Isnt that just Merlock, Elemental, Knight, etc.? If thats the case would a Merlock and an Elemental count as two different card types or just one since theyre both tribal?

Scoss posted:I am interested in any deck that can run Quasiduplicate, but the dwarves seem incredibly fragile to Legions End or any board wipe. Do you just aggro them down fast enough and hold on to your butt? List taken from here: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/2280730#paper Domri helps with removal. Other cards that force fights might help, too. I'm really not sure how great it is otherwise but it was fun today. Yes, pretty much aggro'ing them in the face the whole time, while trying to keep at least one in play for future copies. Separately, if you like decks running Quasiduplicate I love this one: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/2298255#arena edit: That is pre-rotation. Everything survives but there are no new cards in it.

zoux posted:Mengucci has a list of four and also CF has added an MTGA export link finally :O I get that Bolos Field is regarded as the top deck lately but I feel like if I play it for this event without knowing how it works will just end up in losing more matches than what I'm currently using. By "knowing how it works" I mean actually piloting it myself; I don't want to learn on the job and then lose out on potential wins. The RB knights is one of the decks I'm currently running. It's been decently reliable at my skill level. It's the same deck that was posted by her before Eldraine came out so I'm surprised it didn't get updated. Myself (a not great player) found better success with more black Castles (3 total) since I found myself wanting for card draw at times with a ton of lands on the board with nothing to play with. I dropped Midnight Reapers; I didn't like them. I know that I mentioned card draw previous to that statement but it just felt too slow. I swapped in Oathsworn Knights; they're great for stalling/defending and they survive board wipes that are damage-based. Lastly, I've enjoyed Fires of Invention. Sometimes I'm almost unsure of if it's a good choice but I've never really regretted it. It is extremely nice for being able to plop down two Knights and then also spending a ton of mana to boost Ebon Knight to +6/6 or Castle up for extra cards--which wouldn't be possible otherwise.

Zero VGS posted:Astonishingly I'm playing games of MTGA perfectly fine on my phone, using Moonlight to stream the game from my home PC, even over the data plan. The only problem is that you can't directly tap and drag the cards, you have to move a cursor around and double-tap-hold to drag cards. I think there's a way to make a AutoHotKey script to emulate the clicking, but I'm still figuring that out because apparently no one has thought to try it yet. I am very interested in this if it can become extremely usable. I tried doing this over wifi at work but it was way too slow. That might because I have a surface pro, though.

Here is my draft budget: 1 Oko 3 Mill Cards 48 cards I haven't narrowed down 5 Run Away Togethers Someone who is good at drafting please help me. This is maybe my second draft for Eldraine. My idea (and I'm bad at imagining mtg) is to mill a bunch and use RAT to start the process over again. Then for whatever reason I have a ton of food making stuff. I never got much to do with them. Potential cuts off the top of my head: Garenbrig Carver - Not enthusiastic about this but I don't have much at 4 drop Spiders - I have these in there for stalling out flyers, obliviously but I'm not sure if they're worth it.

Thanks, again, for the feedback everyone. I won my first match last night and went to sleep. I barely squeaked by. I don't know how many cards my opponent started with but after a few mills I looked and they were still at 36 cards. I ended up winning with just a few cards left in my deck; if the opponent had 40 cards to start with my milling and stalling would have killed them much earlier. I barely attacked the whole game and just kept a bunch of blockers out without worrying about losing them. What tipped the scales was when I pulled Stonecoil Serpent late game with a ton of lands out. It got killed but I held onto Once and Future for forever so I got it right back. I didn't see Oko until my last turn where I would have dropped them to < 1 life anyways. I went from 5 to 2 Run Away Together but I had a bunch of situations where I wish I could bring Secret Keeper or Hypnotic Sprite back. I left in the Beanstalks and they were really great. Kept in Spiders, which was a good recommendation. Those saying get rid of Appetite were extremely right. The Sean fucked around with this message at 14:27 on Oct 17, 2019 |
