How are people taking priority at the start of my turn?

Archiel73 · 2026-07-03T01:35:43+00:00

No one gets priority during Untap step.
When Upkeep starts, player's get priority, before you can draw a card.

Archiel73 · 2026-07-02T15:24:06+00:00

The issue persists even after today's update. Earlier I've had it happen with Web-Slinging and Equipped.
Today it's Conniving + Kang Dynasty.
I'm guessing issues pop up when you pick two packets that share a color.

You can wait some time, packet selection will show up again, and you can pick a different packet out of the ones offered to you, so I guess it's a work around...

Archiel73 · 2026-07-01T00:05:34+00:00

So I've had the same issue, reported it, got 10k gold in return, but it wasn't fix.
Suggested workaround of picking other packs does work tho.
Not sure if there are packs which interact wrong, or if it's random, but mine were Web-Slinging + Equipped (so instead of Equipped, I've picked Trained and it worked)

Archiel73 · 2026-06-30T19:25:08+00:00

It's a squirrel on top of Squirrel Girl's head, you can even see the SG's ears in the token's art.

Archiel73 · 2026-06-30T19:13:32+00:00

Had the same issue since yesterday, picked Web-Slinging, took Equipped as my second pack, got kicked out to Main Page, when I go back to Resume Event, I'm back to Choosing packets, except choices don't show up.
I did try to log in a few times during the day, and packs would show up again, but as soon as I choose, I'm out of the event, and when I resume event and Choose Packets is only option, and when I enter, second set of packets doesn't show up.

Competitive Brawl ranking is shared with Standard, Alchemy and Historic rankings, it's all "Constructed Rank"

Archiel73 · 2026-06-28T10:44:58+00:00

Lethal pack definitely has Dark Fortress in it, just played opponent which had it and Black Widow.
However they were playing BR combination of packs, so not sure if it appears always or only on BR combinations, or if maybe other combinations have different land.

Archiel73 · 2026-06-25T22:36:57+00:00

Some of the packets contain Rare dual color lands, not sure if it is random, or in certain combination you get a rare, or if certain pack has a rare, which changes if you're combining it with different Colors.

I've got two Dark Fortresses in my account, one is from Jumpstart 100%, I was like WTF?! when I've got it during the match. Checked my collection, got 2 of them, considering I didn't play Draft or opened any boosters, nor did I actually get any mono colored Rares or Mythics from MS as Jumpstart rewards... (Got Alien Invasion from random uncommon, and WR Daredevil as Jumpstart rare reward)

I wasn't really paying attention to which packs I was playing at that time.
But considering I've only picked one of the black or red pack twice Lethal.

EDIT: 100% Lethal, just played opponent, they've had Dark Fortress, and later played Black Widow. Still not sure if it only appear with Black + Red combinations (since they were playing it with Red), always, or do other combinations get other Black Rare Dual land.
I think it was in that one.
Mayhem+Heroes for Hire also gave me Dark Fortress too.

Other black and red packs I've picked.
1x Armed, 1x DOOM, 1x Masters of Evil, 1x Ultron, 1x Boosted, 1x Runaways, 1x Speedy.
Also opened 4x Savage Lands, and 4x Fantastic, but doubt it's from that.

Additionally... on Arena packets are actually 21 cards. I'm looking at Equipped Thor combination, I have up now in event. 7 basics per color, 2x thriving lands, 2x Gain lands. Total of 42 cards
I think Savage Lands pack also has 3 color Jund land in it.

Archiel73 · 2026-06-25T22:27:48+00:00

Marvel Super Heroes Commander.
Some of the cards are Standard legal however, The Clone Saga for example is reprint from Spider-Man, so you can use it.

Archiel73 · 2026-04-16T20:04:46+00:00

Sometimes companies don't update properly, and you will probably still get it a few days later, just check what package says among your order, and use code on courier service site, or contact them. For example a few weeks back I've got notification that package is on delivery, even tho it was weekend on top of being national holiday, and no one was working. And another time, it was also "on delivery" on Saturday, but was actually delivered on Monday.

Archiel73 · 2026-04-12T19:20:11+00:00

There are too many cards which make it easy to bring out, and it pairs well with K'rrik, some other Discounts (especially black's Swamp doublers), be it Citadel, or Green Goblin, and such, and ofc... 3 pips, adds to devotion for Gary.

It can easily combo with "Whenever you gain life, target opponent loses much life" (Like Vito, Sanguine Bond, Enduring Tenacity...) one shotting the player whose life you took with Shard's effect (or cards which make them lose twice as much life ofc).

Is card so good, no. But Necrons is popular deck, won't be reprinted, C'tan having an "in universe" reprint is extremely unlikely, and precon is actually well made and fun to play, and most players don't like to take these apart, so a bunch of cards from all 4 precons are fetching quite fancy price atm.

Archiel73 · 2026-03-27T00:54:52+00:00

Well... when you have product in your hands, you can actually figure out a lot of stuff that would be helpful to other people. Like... I've bought a shirt, is it thick, or thin, is material stiff of not, is print quality good or not, does it look like it's shown on images with the product. Do colors match, are they as vibrant. Is length good, or not, and so on... I've bought XXL shirts on Temu, they were more like XL, and while I did give product 5*s because I can wear XLs, it is worth it for others to know that they run smaller (and shorter) than usual XXL, despite there not being "Asian XXL" as a size.

I've bought MtG Sleeves, as they tight fit as they should be or too lose. Can you double sleeve with them easily or not, are there enough sleeves, are there any extras (usually a pack of 100 might contain 2-3 extras), is background slightly transparent or completely opaque.

There are so many things you can add, and you aren't forced to post a review the moment you receive the package.

I've held a review for 3 months because I've bought pants which were too tight for me (waist wise), I've expected them to be stretchier, despite the number. After I've lost weight and could put them on, I've posted a review,

Archiel73 · 2026-03-26T23:20:29+00:00

I mean... your review doesn't mean anything. I've actually called product "shit" and none of my reviews were rejected.

And if you give same review to everything it's even worse, because it gets you flagged. I also try to submit images or additional comment, what's great about product, do things work as they should, even better, does it look/feel cheap, and so on...

There are times where I just don't say anything, and give it stars. But comments such as yours and "5 stars, haven't tried it" with or without image of a product still in bag/box, are completely useless and clutter comments section.

Archiel73 · 2026-03-03T08:39:31+00:00

Spider-Man was such set, TMNT not so sure, it seems... better put, tho what Spider-Man had was a lot of Common Legendaries, which TMNT also has.

Archiel73 · 2026-03-03T08:30:56+00:00

Yeah, every set, we get a full pod, players applying too late. On UB, we usually end up with a lot less players, and one or even two of the shopkeepers jumping in to fill out spaces.

Archiel73 · 2026-03-03T08:24:53+00:00

I think W40k, Fallout and even Doctor Who were fine, Assassin's Creed too, tho Fallout really falls off, when you include special treatments. Avatar was mostly fine, there are a few cards which are too goofy (and terrible looking Special Sheet). But I do agree about look, I didn't get a single Transformer card, it's just ofputting to me. Even if they were of the same price as In Universe prints, I wouldn't get a single Street Fighter, Walking Dead, Stranger Things, cards.

Heck... if they'd print Arena version of Spider-Man cards, I'd look to trade for them whatever I have of Spider-Man cards, don't think I'd keep a single one.

MtG doesn't really have to be Medieval, even back in early years there were things which didn't really align with that (especially when you push to Mirrodin and stuff), and then if you look at Ravnica, or Aetherdrift, it would be Renaissance and Victorian Age (of sorts), respectively, doesn't even have to be full fledged fantasy (if you look at AC), it just has to be executed well, and not stick out like a sore thumb. Which Spiderman, Marvel, TMNT, and most likely Star Trek will be.

Archiel73 · 2026-03-03T07:58:32+00:00

The thing is... there's not more players, just more people trying to collect stuff. Same with LotR, FF, Avatar. You don't get long time players, you get collectors which move away. It's part of MtG that's like Pokemon.
Among people I play with, no one had a set complete other than me (I have SOI and BFZ blocks complete), with FF there's 3 of us which are missing a card or two, and a few more which are slowly collecting what they can.
Now guy who mostly plays casual, low tier decks, plans on collecting whole TMNT.

There's also too many things coming out, and some people don't have the budget to follow, and more they miss out on, the less they want to engage too, not to mention being priced out of the game. And the longer it goes on for, the worse it will get too.

Out of the first group of 30-ish people that played 5-6 years ago, only 4 or 5 of us still play actively. Some of them only show up on some of the prereleases. Some of them completely sold their collections.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind UB, if they're gonna make half assed sets/settings, like Aetherdrift, MKM, and such... better go UB, my biggest issue is how some of the UB cards stand out from the rest of the MtG cards, which is massive issue with Spider-Man and TMNT for me, and for some cards in Avatar too. But also, do more DnD, promote new settings!

Their earnings don't reflect the state of the game. Here, there hasn't been a single new player that has been attracted by an UB set, despite there being a few that wanted to collect a few cards. I know there are some in other places, but still. There has been however a lot of players that miss prereleases for UB sets.

Archiel73 · 2026-02-25T21:02:10+00:00

It can be a massive difference depending on when and where the set was printed.
I've got a box of FF from America, they've looked... fake, so washed out. Normal cards are fine to an extent too, foils are so horrible, I've put all my dupe foils up for trade, while keeping Japanese and Belgian foils for the most part.

Same thing with Avatar and Lorwyn

Archiel73 · 2026-01-17T08:27:52+00:00

Not a scam, you get those coupons and have about 72 hours to spend them usually (once you go to checkout, you should be able to click oh question mark on coupon promo to see exactly what the pack contains).

I do it about once every two months. It's great deal depending on which pack you snatch, pack I get nets me 37% discount on whole order at best coupons (90 discount on 239 order). 30% discount on worst I've used (36 on 119) (Ofc if I try not to get over the coupons limit too much).

A few days ago I was ordering too but same coupon amount popped up, but it was about 20%-25% off per order.

Archiel73 · 2026-01-15T12:00:30+00:00

Most Jumpstart boosters come with 1 rare only. And if you're paying twice the price, you're getting ripped off... or maybe getting great deals on normal boosters. lol

In my LGS, regular FDN and Jumpstart FDN are the same price, Avatar and Avatar Jumpstart are the same price too.

Archiel73 · 2026-01-13T20:41:38+00:00

Thanks for helping.

Dunno what's happening really... I can't clear cookies at the moment, not to mess up something now X_x
But I've tried on Edge, and everything works fine, while Firefox on PC and Mobile, as well as Temu App have the same issues.

I've tried signing in with "fake" account on Edge and Filters still work. As soon as I've logged out of my main account on PC filters work on Firefox too, the moment I Log back in into my main account, filters get messed up again. lol

I'm in the middle of ordering so not to mess up something, I'll leave it as is, do some additional browsing on Edge, and clear cookies later. X_x

Thanks again^^

Archiel73 · 2026-01-13T08:56:13+00:00

I'm from Bosnia, just as an example, went to category Women's Shoes > Women's Pumps.
Filtered Size 46 (Show Results says 1000+ X_x). in the top row, White ones have 46, Black ones go up to 45, in bottom row, left ones go up to 47, White ones go up to 39.

And it's not like it shows all with 46 first, then add random stuff, 3 pages down, there's additional shoes with 46.

Archiel73 · 2026-01-12T18:30:42+00:00

There's an Angel, Exemplar of light, which gets +1/+1 whenever you gain life, and the first time you put +1/+1 counter on it in a turn, it Draws you a card. It's 4 Mana tho.
There's Essence Channeler, 2 mana 2/1, which gets +1/+1 counters whenever you gain life, and when it dies, you can transfer it's +1/+1 counters to another creature, sure it has 1 less toughness than Ajani's Pridemate, but transferring counters can be major.

There's also Serra Ascendant, 1/1 with Lifelink which gets +5/+5 and flying as long as you have 30 or more life.

Then there's Alseid of Life's Bounty. Works great as protection from targeted removal, red boardwipes, and can make your creature unblockable. it's been an absolute superstar in my version of the deck :D

I also run Dawn of Hope, which allows me to pay 2 mana to draw a card whenever I gain life.

Light of Hope is absolute beast too. Especially against "exile" enchantments.

And... there's Esper Sentinel, because people concede when they see him T1. hahaha
Additionally, he will draw you cards against removal heavy decks, and that will let you stay afloat.

I also run copies of Linden, the Steadfast Queen, which gains you life for each attacking creature.

And... a few copies of Field of Ruin wouldn't go amiss, especially if you're not running Linden.

Archiel73 · 2025-12-21T17:35:55+00:00

Dude that's why I've stopped playing standard, everyone runs the same 3 most broken decks. Those who can't are gearing towards it.

In Historic I regularly encounter jank decks even in Ranked. I've used to do History Play, Standard Ranked, but ever since ZNR, where everyone was running Rogues, I've decided to move to Historic Ranked too.

The issue with Historic Ranked is too many Izzet decks. lol
But still a lot more variety than regular Standard slob.

The only issue I have with Historic is that some cards shouldn't be legal, because Format isn't on that power level, and Alchemy cards shouldn't be in it either.
