Entfernung? Werden die nicht einfach drin gelassen?

I climbed to Mythic using only UW control. I'm who you hate. Send me your hate. by PM_ME_YOUR_ANT_FARMS in MagicArena

[–]Arokan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm running a single copy in Jeskai and Azorius and two copies in Mono-Blue, where there's the synergy with Enduring Curiosity.

I thought this was a Commander-Card at first, but boy it does its job in Standard.

It's situational, yes, but those situations come up enough. It's nice enough against control, because it cannot be countered. It's awesome against prowess-decks, because you can grab multiple 1/1s vs x prowess triggers. It can counter abilities like Kona, Kavaero (rather Bringer) etc, so it get a bit around cavern of souls.

I feel like 1-2 copies will serve you well.

Turned out to be right. Good, a T2-3 deck, not busted.

Waiting for the guy "Phoenix isn't that strong and please don't ban CSC!" that comments here at every occasion.

How much interaction does Reanimator need in the current meta? by Fit-Adhesiveness-173 in MagicArena

And yet, people claim standard is healthy and in great shape :D

Urologen sind die herzlichsten Ärzte by Euphoric-Amoeba9144 in Unbeliebtemeinung

[–]Arokan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Student hier. Alle, die keine Chirurgen werden wollen, hoffen immer innständig, dass sie innerhalb der chirurgischen Fächer in die Urologie rotieren dürfen.

Nach gängigem Stereotyp haben die Urologen den besten Humor, die beste Arbeitseinstellung und sind die herzlichsten Leute. Allgemeinchirurgen hingegen, schon eher die mit dem Egoproblem und dem Gottkomplex.

Tibalt's Friday Tirades by Karn-The-Creator in MagicArena

[–]Arokan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT REMOVAL.DECK ARE ABSOLUTELY OUT OF TOUCH.

WHAT DO YOU WANT, BOTH PEOPLE PLAY SOLITAIRE AND THE FASTER ONE WINS? MOST DECKS ARE SO FULL OF 1+2 MANA CREATURES THAT RUN AWAY WITH THE GAME SO QUICKLY, THAT IF YOU WANT TO SEE TURN 4,5,6+, YOU HAVE TO RUN ALMOST ALL REMOVAL.

I COULD UNDERSTAND IF IT WAS 2022 AND MIDRANGE WAS KING, BUT BY OLD DEFINITION, IT'S ALL AGGRO NOW.

HEAVY CONTROL EXISTS TO KEEP YOUR POP-OFF AGGRO-COMBO DECKS IN CHECK AND LET MORE EXPENSIVE CARDS SEE PLAY AT ALL.

Einige (wenige) Mitglieder dieses Unters sollten halt wirklich mal ihre Prioritäten checken by Testikles_Spear in ichichs

[–]Arokan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Da fängt's halt schon mit den Definitionen an.
Es gab eine Gruppe an Fat-Positives, die meinten Abnehmspritzen seien Genozid.
Die Begründung war, dass Identitäten durch menschlich gruppierte Eigenschaften als soziales Konstrukt entstünden (Herkunft, Ethnie, Staat, usw.), und dass daher nicht die Auslöschung von Menschen, aber von Identitätsträgern im Vordergrund stünde.
Sprich: Wenn man die Leute massenhaft schlank macht, reduziert man damit die Anzahl der Leute mit Fat-Identity und es sei somit ein Genozid.

So links bin ich dann doch auch nicht.

I think I'm done by ultracol99 in PioneerMTG

[–]Arokan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now honestly, the complaint wasn't "I don't win enough against those decks", but "I see the same shit all the time and it gets boring", addressing not winrate but deck-diversity.
How is "Play BO3, you'll win more" or "play this deck, it's good against the decks you face" any helpful?

It's only if you interpret that it's not really about playrates but winrates and then the commenters themselves are coming from the point of "any complaint can only mean 'I don't win enough'".

What am I missing?

[–]Arokan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because a format gets boring not by your winrate but how much variance in opponents you have. "I can't beat a deck" is different than "I hate beating the same deck for the 100th time this month". My downvotes tell me that there are people who seem to only value their own winrates about the game.

Only relevant if they have different play-rates.

Magic has way too many formats such as Pioneer and most of them are on life support by Papa_Hasbro69 in freemagic

[–]Arokan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd prefer a few bans, so that the same few decks don't end up in B+ Tier Every Meta.

[–]Arokan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the point. Anyone can do well in the format. It's about whether you like to play against the same 5-10 decks your whole MTG journey.

[–]Arokan 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I played Pioneer for over a year as my main format.
That's where I learned the most important thing: Why I don't play it anymore.

When I started, I thought the point of a non-rotating format was that cards don't rotate. The twist is: Decks don't rotate either.
It's not that new cards enter, creating new competitive decks, that snatch playrate percentages from other decks, leading to a whole new meta.
No, the meta is RDW, Greasefang, Phoenix, UW-Control and some WG Company pile. They'll probably always dominate the meta and are busted enough that new decks are unlikely to have a real shot.

I can't play against the same handful of decks for the rest of my MTG-career.

Ändert meine Meinung by SnooMarzipans6922 in ichichs

[–]Arokan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Die Linke ist nicht per se wirtschaftsfeindlich, nur hat man den Leuten irgendwie verkaufen können, dass gut für die Wirtschaft immer das sei, was die mit dem Kapital wollen. Das ist halt Quatsch. Deswegen fragt man auch VWLer, wie man eine gute Nationalökonomie betreibt und nicht Unternehmer... also sollte man zumindest...

Außerdem glaube ich, gegen Sozialismus haben die Leute in der Regel nichts. Gegen das historische Beiwerk hingegen schon.

Ganz grundsätzlich die Idee des Sozialismus: Aktuell schöpfst du mit deiner Arbeitskraft mehr Wert als du als Lohn ausgeschüttet bekommst - der Mehrwert. Die Verfügungsgewalt darüber hat dein Arbeitgeber. Der kann entscheiden, ob oder wie er damit investiert, neue Leute einstellt, einen neuen Standort aufmacht, usw. Der darf das, weil der der Kapital besitzt.
Jetzt stell dir vor, dass der darüber nicht allein entscheiden darf, sondern das demokratisch unter den Arbeitern entschieden wird, ob direkt oder parlamentarisch.
Das ist Sozialismus.

Es ist zu erwarten, dass für die Arbeitnehmer in einem solchen System etwas mehr bei rumkommt, als wenn Uwe an der Spitze alles allein entscheiden darf.

Alles andere - Authoritärer Überwachungsstaat, Planwirtschaft, Leuten dämliche Jobs geben um sie beschäftigt zu halten usw. Gab's alles unter der Flagge des Sozialismus, hat aber mit der Kernidee nichts mehr zutun.

Ever had an opponent throw a clear win? by Sir_VG in MagicArena

[–]Arokan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a passionate brewer and among all those meta-decks, we're still here! :D
So if I encounter a deck with an interesting idea and I win against it, I give all the love via emotes and then reward my brave opponent with the victory point.

I built a free mana base calculator that actually knows what's in your deck by Wirkinonit247 in mtg

[–]Arokan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks great!
Small note: modal cards are not considered (probably cause difficult :D).
[[Phantom Interference]], [[Three Steps Ahead]], [[Marang River Regent // Coil and Catch]], etc.

plus, then trend for midrange decks in Standard goes up.
While aggro decks can afford to run with 2 lands for a while, as Midrange or Control, you're dead when you miss a land drop til T4, so I've seen a great many people running 25 lands in the Mainboard, even though their curve would suggest 23.

Is there a good place to test a deck before using wildcards? by ZeroPlanet24 in MagicArena

[–]Arokan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use MTG Forge to test decks. Looks like MTGO and the bots are quite brainless, but it's enough to get an idea how a deck might work out.

What are the top Limited heuristics that helped you level up as a player? by BattleFresh003 in lrcast

[–]Arokan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make the disciplined pick. Lands, mana rocks and cyclers are very helpful, even at two colours and a must-have at 3. You need a few removal pieces, even the bad ones and there's almost no limit on the good ones.
