I really wish Pioneer was coming to Arena but it'd probably just be a parade of every single deck I've hated playing against, and then I'd look down at my own hand of Big Teferi, Oko, Golos, Nexus of Fate, Hydroid Krasis, Thought Erasure, the Explore package, Goblin Chainwhirler, Tiny Teferi, 8 cards with the word flash on them, Wilderness Reclamation, Thought Erasure again

thespaceinvader posted:It's free real estate if you want to use Oko, yeah. Except if Oko getting banned kills that entire deck archetype. I probably dumped 12-15 WC to build Bant last month and will be kind of miffed if the ban kills the deck entirely. Oko should be banned for the good of the format but WotC kind of gets to have its cake and eat it too by killing 30 WC of value and only paying back 4 mythics when I have to go and build something else that's competitive.

Bust Rodd posted:Look dude you can defend it however you like but I guarantee that if your alt-tabbing out of the game in between your turns you’re definitely dragging the game out. How about super deliberate players who mouse over everything and think about every contingency? That seems to be the intention behind the timeout system but it's also intentionally delaying the game. I hate playing against slow players but it's kind of what I sign up for by playing Arena.

Bust Rodd posted:Or maybe just abandon your weird preconceived notions of what unranked means and just snap concede when your play a meta deck you think is too strong for your brew. Eh, I do think there's something to be said for Arena doing standard events where they ban cards that are dominating the format. I'd almost rather they try out the Oko ban on Arena first before they ban it entirely just to see how the meta shakes out.

Historic is really fun right now because nobody really knows what the meta is. I've played against esper self mill, green stompy, golgari midrange, temur nexus, and izzet phoenix so far.

LingcodKilla posted:So remove the gem rewards and just keep the pack reward. The game really could use phantom draft and some people are weirdly opposed to the idea. There's not much of a point to limited rank as it stands because of the huge investment per month it takes to try and get to mythic, even for above average players.

Lone Goat posted:why would wizards devote resources towards people that are too cheap to do a regular draft? Is this like a self-answering question? Then people who are too cheap to do regular draft but like drafting might be enticed to play the cheaper version. I've spent quite a bit on Eldraine but I probably would have spent even more because I like to draft but $4-5 a draft is too much for me to do it all the time.

Yeah I wish there was a little more transparency when it comes to just how many people are actually in mythic. Managed to get to #1300 for a bit but I don't know if I'd bother if there are 10k people all fighting for top 1200.

Kanfy posted:Bo1 Sealed is rolling a lot of dice for a very high entrance fee, gobbling up people's gems is likely why it's always open first. It's decent value if you're going to play constructed, so I can't hate it too much. Really should be Bo3 and it's definitely not a good value for people who only play limited. MTGO is the only good place to focus on sealed.

Spiderdrake posted:Draft is worse than sealed for novice players. Sealed might not be a great idea either, but it is ultimately just 1800 gems for nine packs at worst. It's not really 9 packs since you're missing out on 1 entire WC of progress, which is the most important thing for actually building decks. I do a lot of sealed but it's not equivalent value.

Bust Rodd posted:I see what you’re saying, but the point was that in this scenario, in which the greatest players in the world are all drafting to the very best of their ability, there’s a bit of an expectation for clear and established signals to help get everyone the cards they need so that everyone’s deck is good. If you pivot out of 2 of your colors P3P1 after a 2 packs of doing that, you’re really monkey wrenching the table. Yeah, I can see what you're saying and I don't have much experience live drafting. I just find the narrative funny that Autumn should have had this strong deck if only their draft neighbor passed them the strong cards they were signalling for. Everyone's trying to win and I could see why somebody wouldn't stay in their lane even if it might have weakened the table somewhat.

Tricky Ed posted:Speaking of, there's no way I don't take Uro, right? It won't help me win a game (Hero of the Nyxborn or Pharika's Spawn would) but it's totally Uro? The value of having one more useful card in your 23 card draft deck is never going to outweigh grabbing a standard viable mythic or rare if you have any interest in playing constructed.

People online mostly just want to play whatever has the highest win percentage. There's no social aspect on Arena so fun jank doesn't have the same appeal. Doesn't even matter that there are no rewards or ranks on the line.

I'm debating whether or not to pick up the historic anthologies. I've actually been enjoying historic queue more than standard but I don't know if there's enough value there to justify investing. Think I'm just worried the 1st anthology will stop being offered and I'll regret it when historic becomes a more popular format.

Huxley posted:I also love Historic and don't think buying the entire sets are really advisable. If you like to mess around with lots of stuff, sure, but you can craft the meta playables without nearly the investment. Where'd you hear this? The state of the game posted today says they're planning on releasing anthology 3 next month.

You also get one godzilla card style per limited event you play in the first week, so even that isn't much of a value from the booster bundle if you're going to play a decent amount of limited.

Cube was one of the most fun things I've played on MTGA but if they're going to make the reward structure that bad in an event you can crap out of in 10 minutes it really should have been cheaper to enter than 3 packs worth of gold.
