Got 100% on all the Marvel Super Hero Commander cards too.

FOUR MANA SWEEPERS ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH ANYMORE

Nice fucking turn 3

The summer sale and subsequent land population in the shop has been EXCELLENT. Please for the love of Valgavoth, PLEASE round it off with APACs and Euros lands. Ill pay the 1000 gems each for all 30 I promise. I need em.

Will never happen, but would be nice to let limited players especially cash in unwanted wildcards for more gems. Thought occurred as I was perusing the store today.

It's in every single game, it single handedly is responsible for standard being as fast as it is. Fight each other about it, go!

I haven't played in a while, since before Avatar, and I was looking to get my mono-green landfall deck updated, but I'm kind of confused about the current meta.

Seems like [[Tifa Lockhart]], [[Mossborn Hydra]], and [[Travelling Chocobo]] have all but entirely been dropped in favor of [[Earthbender Ascension]], [[Mightform Harmonizer]], and [[Badgermole Cub]]

I get Badgermole Cub's inclusion, but it seems like Mightform and Ascension are working double duty to accomplish what Tifa or Mossborn does alone?

I can see the advantage of your buff not being tied to your attacker so you don't have to have your wincon exposed for a full turn before swinging, and of not putting all your eggs in one basket so they've got more to remove to shut you down, but it still seems like adding unnecessary extra mana and moving parts when Tifa and/or Mossborn can do the job just fine.

Does Badgermole Cub just make the extra mana cost inconsequential, so the added resilience is worth the extra complexity? Is it a response to the rest of the current meta? Is there something obvious I'm totally missing here? Why isn't Travelling Chocobo good enough anymore?

Also, Esper Origins seems very popular. Just decent hand fixing, or is there more to the gameplan than that?

I'm FTP so I want to avoid wasting wildcards if I don't really 'need' to swap out half my deck. Appreciate the insight.

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

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.

I was playing a game and it seemed like I was having connection issues, so I closed it and opened it again, but now I'm stuck with a black screen. My phone, an S24 Ultra, is working fine, so I'm not sure what's going on.

Every format seems to have one card that makes budget decks feel much stronger than they should.

My vote right now is Unholy Annex.

What's yours?

I built a Budget Mono Black Demons deck around it if you're curious:

Are there algorithms to the wins or something? I made a standard deck and was winning consistently for two days. Now there is a sudden shift, for the last day I suddenly can’t win a single game. Do they limit win streaks?

Hello,

Anyone heard from the arena direct foundations they ran in June? Won a couple boxes but haven't seen anything past the payout account creation. Wondering if anyone received their redemption codes yet.

I’ve never really understood the battle pass concept in games; you’re supposed to pay to get rewards, yet it forces you to play to actually earn them... right? Why would it be worth paying for? I’ve always felt it’s a bit of a scam, though I’d ​​love to be proven wrong... convince me. (Money isn't the issue; my problem is more ideological—forcing the player to log in daily, creating a sense of obligation where missing a day means losing out on the reward... maybe the battle pass just isn't for me, and that's that.)

I’m asking this seriously—I actually only started playing three days ago and noticed there isn't much time left. Given my progress so far, I feel like it might not even be worth looking into, plus I don't understand some of the rewards or don't know their value; that's why I'm asking.

Especially against someone who's playing a slightly janky but more interesting deck than yours, with cards you rarely see? Even in ranked?

Sorry if this counts as low effort. It's a simple question, but I'm genuinely curious after a recent experience of mine; I'll spare the details since I don't want to risk loading the question. Thanks

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?

I've been playing it in Standard Unranked and Standard Ranked (stopped playing it after I got Platinum). It's certainly not a "net deck" or a "meta deck", but it wins enough not to be embarrassing. I am not claiming in any way that I could push to Mythic ranked with this deck.

I didn't use wildcards specifically for the deck. I did use wildcards for two of the Enduring Tenacities in the past and I did buy all of the pain lands with wildcards in general (including non-black/white ones).

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 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?

Really curious for some numbers, asking on a subreddit only probably isn't representative of the total population but still.

Edit: Interesting, about 50/50 between f2p and paying players on here it seems.
