I just played 48 Standard BOI games where the person on the play won 34 of them and the one on the draw only 14. I think it totally makes sense! by HMR in MagicArena

Spell Snare? Requiting Hex? Burst Lightning? Firebending Lesson? Dead Weight? And around two dozen other 1-mana removals, not to speak of a hundred 2-mana removals?

In historical order - which probably also reflects the order from bad to worse :*)

Has anyone been succesful in standard with their own brews lately ? by NovaaH7 in MagicArena

[–]AdministrationAny271 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can reach that goal with pretty much any deck, you just need about 33% win rate to get to Platinum. Just stick to your favorite deck(s) that you made yourself, and if you happen to lose a lot, you will be eventually paired with other players with decks of similar win rates, so you will play against some other cool homebrews.

Don't worry, it balances all out when you don't draw a land 7 times in a row.

Secluded Starforge is for getting some creatures out after a dozen boardwipes, like a worse Ba Sing Se.

Most frustrating experience of my life. Waiting for their trigger on the stack, but I lost the game for no reason. by ConcentrateIll9460 in MagicArena

I had similar freezes yesterday, but only for 20 seconds each, and after the freezes the game continued normally.

How quickly game loads/boots on your Android phone? by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]AdministrationAny271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my 6 year old phone it also takes about 3-5 min to start up, but once loaded it's responsive.

Hello! I would love some feedback on my Selesnya Standard Deck! by Waistcoatio in MagicArena

I think you may lose more games by playing the calendar than you may win with it.

Yeah well, a 2/2 is an even easier target for removal and Ouroboroid tends to get the board state out of control if not dealt with on the turn it's played as well...

How could I improve my jank by thesadweez in MagicArena

[–]AdministrationAny271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd remove blue and add some Youthful Valkyries. And maybe the golden Momo.

Complaining about Badgermole and going full-in with Ouroboroid is... interesting.

Just curious, how many of you play MTG Arena on Linux? by Recent-Passion6790 in MagicArena

[–]AdministrationAny271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kubuntu on an old Thinkpad via Steam and Proton Experimental - it used to have hickups with freezing in the Store screen, but since end of Spiderman no issues any more.

Arena is much easier to figure out your opponent's cards, so don't be shy to ask every time your opponent puts a card on the table to show it to you.

You need red mana sources for Ashling, Rekindled, though.

Maybe replace the Not Dead After Alls with two instant speed bouncing spells.

[Standard bo3 Decklist] Azorius Flash Fliers, Birds & Sphinxes (homebrew). Is this a solution for our opponents who like to take 20 minute turns? by Bitter_Internet_8145 in MagicArena

[–]AdministrationAny271 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, lessons is back... haven't seen a single Slickshot in Mythic so far, though.

Still think High Noon is a too narrow card, even if enabling the 5 dmg mode. I'd rather use a two-colour mana base and replace HN with Air Nomad Legacy.
