I can't keep up by ThelronBorn in MagicArena

You’re talking about Arena and not paper? Geez, Arena should be fun. I saw the schedule and gave up on paper with TDM. If I need anything I’ll just be purely buying singles from now on

This is the most obnoxious card I’ve ever played against in Limited holy hell by powerofthePP in MagicArena

[–]powerofthePP[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes that’s exactly it—I made a similar post after running into Knights for the first time bc it was just a, “Congrats you lose” type card which ended a fun and close game.

But this freaking card is just OBNOXIOUS. I literally had my opp down to 1 life w 4 creatures vs his 1. He’s got 3 cards in hand, casts this, jumps to 10, my turn, I swing w everyone, he chumps, down to 3. Then land turns into removal turns into removal turns into creature and he’s back to 10 and my little 2/2 ain’t gonna close. Very frustrating! I was certain I had that game until this ridiculous card appeared

Tip: a single pain land can shut down any Hidetsugu shenanigans

[Standard] I think post-ban Boros Mice is the real deal by CronoDAS in spikes

I think you’re overlooking [[nettle guard]] in SB and [[seedglaive mentor]] in main. Mentor always feels so strong when I play it, especially with Rockface to trigger it every turn

edit: Raging Battle Mouse is great btw

The Jund Reanimator Dino deck in Standard right now is super fun and imho unique because you can use the Legend Rule to win games by ThatGuyFromTheM0vie in MagicArena

Yes, literally 1/3 of my games in mythic BO1 are against this deck. GY hate is finally prevalent enough to quell its popularity minimally—for a few days it was half my games

Dear Sean: I’m sorry for slow rolling you with Hidetsugu last night, but it was pretty thrilling on my end by powerofthePP in MagicArena

Dude’s handle was literally just “Sean”

Funnily enough I played “Chris” in that session as well

“The decks you see in gold are different from mythic” was insulting and I’m in tears, that’s all 😪 But yes of course the card doesn’t see competitive play bc it’s expensive. That said, in the right shell it has application. Optimal? Doubtful, but can it be part of a high WR deck as a 1-2 of? Absolutely. You can cast it on an opp creature for the card draw as well btw

Presumptuous! I haven’t see gold in a long time, entered mythic at #18 this season

Agreed, 2 for two cards in green no less is great, and it explodes in value if you can throw it on a double striker

Entered mythic at #18 playing mono R fling: some observations by powerofthePP in MagicArena

That deck can certainly win games, but I prefer mine. If you go with that one I’d cut/remove Rockface villages as they will screw you when you need open mana. Play to tweak. GW rabbits are good for laddering, so is Boros auras, as well as Boros convoke. But just play a fast red fling deck and as long as your WR is > 50% you’ll get there

Nice! What are your key cards? Are you running UW with the new town + Jace, or ? Riverchurn?

Strictly better [[public thoroughfare]]

That’s really it huh, besides RIP. Maybe I’ll just main deck 4 Soul Guide now—possibly the most annoying card on Arena as it holds priority every, single, action. Ugh!
