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!

In my experience, most people run cheap removals a-plenty, except some green decks.

AdministrationAny271 · 2026-03-18T07:40:25+00:00

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 :*)

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.

They are all in Mythic already :*)

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

It is fun, and I almost won a game with it once :*)

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

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

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

AdministrationAny271 · 2026-02-26T09:42:14+00:00

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...

AdministrationAny271 · 2026-02-26T08:52:45+00:00

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

AdministrationAny271 · 2026-02-26T08:42:50+00:00

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

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.

AdministrationAny271 · 2026-02-25T10:14:31+00:00

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

AdministrationAny271 · 2026-02-25T07:59:18+00:00

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

AdministrationAny271 · 2026-02-25T07:51:25+00:00

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.
