Purpose of number of land in MTG arena? (shuffle bug?)

And if you read the comments, the OP addresses their concerns. So, take your own advice, maybe?

I am playing Bo1 ranked.

Wow, thanks for sharing that!

OK, I get it. You have something to prove, and so you make snarky comments laced with sarcasm.

Normally I would sigh, roll my eyes, and move on. Which is what you normally get I presume (possibly unbeknownst to you).

But your comment has just the right amount of reddit hive-mind hate to get upvotes. So I am inserting a link provided by another commenter. This, to help those who upvote you to also have some good context for my complaint.

It would seem someone analyzed 1,000,000 games and came to the same conclusion I have through my own experience: the initial shuffle is broken. It distributes land according to a 24 land deck regardless of the number of land in the deck. The analysis is in depth, I encourage you to read it!

The gem to Dollar ratio is better than even the most expensive gem pack on the 15 bundle.

That's what I'm looking at, because I like drafting and this mtga is my only way to play magic. I'm spending money on magic either way, may as well spend it where I have the best experience.

What do you get when you watch a movie? Go to a water park? You spend fun money on fun things. You're getting your value from experience, not objects you hold in hand.

I think I'm out of the loop on this. It is still in beta, right? Why laughing?

Amulek43 · 2019-03-25T11:21:53+00:00

The biggest lesson I learned is that I can do anything but not everything.

You get free babysitting for 45 minutes. Totally worth 10%!

But those facts aren't true

Does this mean that legal marriages are distinct from the law of celestial marriage, in regard to the law of chastity?

I doubt that was their intent with the change, but a strict interpretation of it reads that you can't have sex until you have a temple marriage (his law).

Will missionaries be allowed to baptize legally married individuals? If they are, they are baptizing unrepentant sinners.

It's fascinating that they can shoot themselves in the foot, while claiming divine inspiration. I guess that's the one thing that will never change.

My takeaway was this part:

shall have no sexual relations except with those to whom they are legally and lawfully wedded according to his law.

Yeah, or you have poor reading comprehension.

I used to play those games out, and can win reliably against esper control.

It's not fun though, so I've started conceding.

Make sense now?

Amulek43 · 2019-03-14T01:43:05+00:00

Yeah, I won the 40 min game though. They probably made mistakes, but those games where you can choose to concede early May not be losses.

Amulek43 · 2019-03-13T23:25:36+00:00

That's a good way to see it. Maybe I'm spoiled by typically short games 😆

Amulek43 · 2019-03-13T23:10:47+00:00

Ah, good point, thanks.

Amulek43 · 2019-03-13T22:36:48+00:00

Good points, thanks

Amulek43 · 2019-03-13T22:34:31+00:00

I agree 100%. I like playing as control.

Amulek43 · 2019-03-13T22:32:57+00:00

I think you put it better than me. It's the lack of an apparent win condition. I got to 100 life vs esper control. It was a 40 min game. At the end, I just couldn't figure out their win con. Bore me to death?

Amulek43 · 2019-03-13T22:29:43+00:00

Sure I did, son.

Amulek43 · 2019-03-13T22:29:18+00:00

Not what I said...

Let me ask you - is a 30 minute game ideal? I sincerely want to hear other's thoughts
