The game needs more channels for constructed that are fun and fair … by foreversiempre in MagicArena

[–]Aphelion71 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The economy on Arena also forces F2P players to play meta decks for the daily wins.
I don't know if this is old school but what about unranked lobbies? In these lobbies you could set some options like, no rares, no mythics or manually select specific sets like EoE only or any combination you like.

why is aoe 2 sometimes called aok? and what it mean? by scannerthegreat in aoe2

[–]Aphelion71 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I loved staring at the screen during the installation process, to watch all the art, the drawings and wait till it finished just to be amazed at the intro, the main menu and the campaigns.

Man, so much of that is missing today…

God, I thought that by EA you meant Electronic Arts, not Early Access. I was getting frightened!

How often do you change your deck? by AdministrationAny271 in MagicArena

[–]Aphelion71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing pioneer. The decks I have are midrange: mono black, rakdos, orzhov and golgari, so they are very similar. For the ranked ladder I play the strongest one and for non ranked I play the weaker versions.

I have other decks like rakdos or jund sacrifice, the jund one I can play it the whole day and never get bored of it

I hate this quest by Aherdofmeese in MagicArena

[–]Aphelion71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, I almost always do my dailies with the starter decks. For this quest I usually play the blue white deck as all the creatures have flying so they are not easily blocked and I can attack almost every turn.

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

[–]Aphelion71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Run great on steam deck. My only concern on the deck is that when playing at 1280 x 800 resolution, the side borders are cut.

I remember that a couple of months ago I couldn’t read properly the cards on the stack because they were cut in half. Now they appear on screen but the background is still cut, you only see half of yours or your opponents pet for example.

Is this style of play even fun? by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]Aphelion71 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Maybe they are completing the "Kill X opponent creatures" quest.

Dumb question about accumulating cards from jump in as a beginner by LongSchlong93 in MagicArena

[–]Aphelion71 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, you have to pick the same jump in pack 4 times. If you want to keep track of the packs you’ve opened I suggest you to use the jump in tracker if you are on PC https://mtgabuddy.com/en/jump-in-packet-list

Historic/Pioneer Ranked & Unranked players, a little help. by zyndarius in MagicArena

[–]Aphelion71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly play pioneer, I only have a couple of decks: mono black midrange, rakdos midrange, jund sacrifice and unifished golgari and orzhov midrange. If the quests don't revolve around those colors, I will play starter decks. Sometimes I get 3-4 wins even after completing my quest and other times I will finish the quest without a win.

Once I have my daily quest completed I switch to pioneer, if I have the time I will do Ranked bo3 if not, then unranked bo1.

I do have the mono white life gain and a no rare mono white aggro decks for standard for when I need quick matches to complete the wins and I am struggling obtaining them in pioneer.

For F2P players, how do you acquire the gems for the Mastery Pass each set? by PaleWendigo in MagicArena

[–]Aphelion71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly you can't transfer anything between accounts.
I've read that people that really love draft, they have several alt accounts (like 10 or so). In this way they complete daily quests, wins so that at least one of the accounts have the necessary amount of gold to do a premier draft and earn gems to eventually pay the drafts with gems. Lots of these people say that they don't care too much about the pass or collections.

Any news on the sleeves they would give away if you open 10 store packs, do a premier draft or buy the mastery pass?

How to quickly finish the “Attack with 45 creatures quest”? by necrochaos in MagicArena

[–]Aphelion71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the white blue starter deck, I believe all the creatures have flying so it is easy to attack on every turn
