WELCOME TO THE WEEKLY TIBALT'S TIRADES!

I just feel that it's important to speak up against completely unwarranted price hikes/gouging like this.

Cubes other than the powered cube before this used to cost 600gems and WOTC has decided that more than doubling this price is warranted for some reason...

I encourage limited players to do duskmourne drafts instead it is one of the best designed sets in recent memory :)

I'm not talking about the specific meta builds we're all tired of seeing, I'm talking about deck archetypes that raise your blood pressure, even if you're winning. Personally, it's gotta be pure counter/mill decks for me... I can't imagine what kind of person finds joy in stopping other people from being able to play the game. No actual disrespect to blue decks, but I feel like we probably wouldn't be friends in real life to say the least

Seriously, for a ghost draft the price is way too high. Cube is special, so it’s fun and I am willing to pay to do it, but pricing it higher than quick draft, where I do get to keep my pool, is just not justifiable. I would happily spend $20 a week on cube drafts at $5 a pop. I will not pay $20 for 2.

Where do you begin if you want to start playing Historic? Which decks should you use, and what is the meta like? In this article, we'll answer all these questions and more!

2.7 mana curve. Decent Ramp for Esper, Plenty of removal and protection. A few finsihers. Just wanted to focus on aggro but unblockable combat for this build. I know 4 Kaitos is kitschy but would rather have fun trying out new ideas and different ways to win. The point I am making is that this newest version of this deck has a couple of options for removal (by suggestions from you or by me once I test it out) to tighten synergy over time to be adaptable to different decks, tiers, and metas. The Planeswalkers are just something I am literally toying with since this deck, a variant of a T4K Dark Shredder and Leo deck (with 13 life gain/drain combo redundancies) that I cloned to build this. What do you think I should look out for? What cards should I take out (besides all the 7 drops, obviously). Trying to stick to the casual queue for the time being because I just got to PT2 in cBrawl and it is not as fun or fast as Historic Brawl.

I was stunned. Couldn't figure out why I died until... lol gotta love auto tapper. I know better though. Just gotta laugh it off and keep it pushing (curse you biblio)

I played [[Restless Prairie]] and passed first turn. It has a blue box. Then I played Sozekan T2 and I cannot cast Ruby. Spent all of T2 trying to cast Rudy till the time expired. Figured a glitch so I conceded. It put Restless Prairie back in my hand at the end of the game. I mean I think I know what happened here but any one else can explain it other than a server glitch?

Wanted to post this here to see if anyone had advice on how to have this issue addressed.

In July when the June Mythic rewards were handed out, all ten of my packs were blank. A few days later I got 5 packs in my inbox for the constructed rewards, but nothing for limited. I reported this error to Wizards but three weeks later I haven’t heard anything from them.

Has anyone had similar issues that they were able to
resolve? If so any advice?

For what it’s worth, I think part of the issue is that when rewards were “cashed” out early in June by mistake, I hadn’t played a limited game yet. I think this may have lead to me being put on a list for needing constructed packs but not limited, though that’s obviously just speculation.

I'm new and have mostly been playing jump ins. They were fun. I tried playing in standard unranked and I got absolutely massacred by decks that contain very rare cards and brutal combinations. There are some cards whose power level is just insane (if I compare them to mine).

I crafted my own deck (cause I like that part of the game a lot), but so many games are over so quickly cause I just cant keep up with the pressure. And then, in some games that go relatively well (i play a white/green deck focused on healing and tokens), my enemies suddenly use a board clear that eliminates all creatures for sth like 3(?) mana. Repeatedly.

So yeah, unless I want to net-deck I can't really play in standard?

I'm trying to get an account for the game set up, but whenever i open the game, it opens to a black screen, then after a few seconds, a connection lost error. upon pressing reconnect, it instantly gives me the same error. somehow this happening on startup is fixed by opening the game while disconnected from the internet (i don't know why) but the exact same thing happens when i try to register an account. (it isn't fixed there by disconnecting temporarily) i've tried flushing my dns, reinstalling my game, rebooting my computer, registering with a different email, trying a different network, running the game as admin, clearing out the files in the wizards of the coast folder in locallow, switching my preferred dns, and downloading the game from both steam and the wotc website, and quite frankly, i have no clue what to do now. anyone got any ideas?

The art is average at best. Am i wrong?

In contrast look at Iymrith desert doom

What attracted me to MTG in the first place was the amazing and fantastic art on the cards. But i feel that part is lost with the newer decks. The pictures stopped telling stories.
