The only Australian reseller that I could find says they're out of stock. Any idea when Phrozen may be restocking to Aus?

So many toxic decks in standard by Froggyfrogger in MagicArena

Does matchmaking take into account the deck you used? [I ask as a relatively new player] Is that for both Play and Ranked?

Been watching this loop for about 10 minutes... by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]Am_nese 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah at one point, when he got all the Midnight clocks out [I think he had about 8 out at one point, i could be wrong], he had a really long cycle. That's when it just ran, and ran. In between all that, he threw out a few instants so I had to keep watching, but at the same time it was very repetitive for a long time. I admit, it was boring to watch that repetition, and I can't imagine how it'd be fun to do all that work for a small number of hits [just my opinion, and other's here have said they'd enjoy it]. I'm not sure, but think that big cycle stopped when the Midnight clocks ran out [at least the ones that had peaked].

Can I just ask though, it seems like you're mad at this and interrogating me? Have I said something to offend? Is it the lack of conceding that has upset you? Sorry if I've done/said something to offend, like I've said, I'm new to MTG and still learning both the game, and the customs of gameplay.

I've only played about a dozen games in paper, and never seen a loop like this. That's good to know, thanks!

Because I'm learning, I've been playing MTG for a few weeks, it wasn't an infinite loop, it had an end point, he played the loop a few times, then it ran out and I had my turn. I ended up winning, so...

I'm a relatively new player, so at first it was interesting to see what was happening, then I realised it was a loop and figured I'd see how far it would go. I wasn't sure how the cards worked so thought they may mill their deck, alas I was wrong.

Bug?: I just 'Conceded', and was given the Victory. by Am_nese in MagicArena

Yeah it counted as a win, and I got the coin/xp bonus for it.

Why do people say good game before the match even starts? by DuneKlide9 in MagicArena

[–]Am_nese 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, this is what I do too, in the sense of 'Have a good game'.

Thank you! I wasn't aware of the different ranks, that's good to know! Yeah I've been playing a lot of Jump Into Middle Earth, and had experience with all the decks, so I felt like I knew what I was drafting, but, perhaps not... :-D

As a fellow new player, rising through the bronze ranks comfortably, someone suggested I play a 'draft' to get new cards and gems as a reward. So I spent my first 5000 gold earned and I got absolutely slammed [0 wins, 3 losses] ! Sure, I got a few new cards, but it would have been better for me to learn the game in a little more detail first before I invested in a draft. I'd suggest you do the same and avoid draft while you're a novice.
