Meyers-Briggs Testicle posted:the starter gruul deck is so fun. terror of the peaks is so good, it turns every creature into a giant burn spell Do you get multicolored starter decks after finishing the tutorial quests or something? I went into options and chose to unlock everything so I skipped those, the initial monocolor starter decks seemed really really basic

Do they ever do phantom draft events on arena? Keeping the cards is cool and all but that poo poo's expensive and I'd love to play more just for fun

FYI the game lets you skip the tutorial color challenge stuff if you go to Options->Account and click "unlock all game modes" -- however after you beat the challenges the game starts giving you quests that award some decently competitive starter decks with some good cards in them so you should still suffer through playing 25 games against brain dead AI anyways.

Had the barbarian class enchantment that lets you pick from the highest of 2 dice rolls and a couple copies of the red rare 3/2 that creates clone tokens when you attack and perpetually creates more if you keep rolling 15+. On my last game she triggered like 5 times in a row lol

Man I spent like 45 minutes of my lunch break yesterday in a hopeless stalemate with some guy running a bunch of copies of Teleportation Circle who had a bunch of ETB draw and lifegain cards and angels that blinked other angels when they entered the battlefield and no win condition whatsoever as far as I could tell. Had to concede because I had to go back to work lol...

At the end of the month they're launching Historic Brawl as a permanent format, where you have 100 card decks limited to just one copy of any card except basic lands. Makes it a little more appealing to collect one-ofs from old sets

So close to Limited Platinum.... just an FYI, it hasn't updated in-game to display it, but ranked rewards are doubled this month. So that's like 12 packs and a bunch of gold if you can get plat in both rankings

Current event (all access) lets you play for free with any card in the game whether you own it or not. I played a few games with this RG deck built around Bard Class and thought it was really cool https://aetherhub.com/Deck/-legendary-beatdown---bard-class

As someone who's played all the other ones it's crazy how Magic still makes every other online card game look like poo poo , they did a good job adapting it to Arena given how complicated it can be edit: Only other card game I've played IRL and liked more is Android: Netrunner and they're retarded for not digitizing that

Assuming that 100 card historic brawl gets added to the play with friends options at the end of the month, would anyone be interested in a little imp tournament sometime during the first week of september? I would be willing to sweeten the pot with the code for an AFR prerelease pack (6 booster packs)

I was very confused when I bounced a mutated creature and both creature cards got returned to the guy's hand lol. Also as for the tournament, cool, I'll set something up as soon as we have a date for 100 card brawl friend challenges working. I'm thinking maybe do it over labor day weekend

I think there's land destruction every once in a while but it's usually on a really bad card like that one. It's probably pretty rare for someone to ever survive to cast it 3 times lol

Jumpstart mode is up. Basically you pay some gold or gems and choose between 3 "packs" based on a theme, then choose between another 3 (and the options may be dependent on what you choose the first time? But don't quote me on that). The contents of the packs are semirandomized and I think there's some RNG smoothing in there that makes it more likely you'll receive cards from them that you don't already own. It mashes them up to create a single deck (you keep the cards) and then you get to play as many games as you want with it and get rewards for the first 2 wins. If you buy in again you get to select new packs and the rewards reset. A little confusing but it's a fun low-stress format and the packs have like 500 new cards between them that are all for Historic mode edit: and slivers are in

The Klowner posted:When I go to select direct challenge with deck type set to "brawl" it seems like it lets me choose a deck of any size as long as the deck is a brawl deck. I tested it with 60, 100, and 99 size decks and it didn't stop me from hitting "play" after I selected a friend. Idk maybe they just removed the size restriction for direct challenges altogether even though there is no explicit "100 card historic brawl" option Oh sick. Let's do that poo poo then. I'm really down for any day this weekend

Fungah! posted:it's bo1 in the UI, but we could do bo3 manually. my problem with bo1 in magic is sometimes you just get hosed by land and you lose. also ty Assuming this eventually works, I would be down to try Brawl bo3 with honor-system 15 card sideboards; it sounds kind of interesting especially with the reduced consistency since it's a 100 card singleton format. And it would just suck to get mana screwed your first game and get wiped out or whatever
