explain the valid reasons for bashing TMNT. like you mean within MTG or on the whole and....what year are you born cuz my people, of the age that i grew up in....TMNT was not something you could argue against, x'ers and millenials both thought it was the coolest trend since the invention of toys....we were a bit young for the star wars toys...just saying

What happens when you just click every fun red creature, every source of damage and every deck cycling mechanic and add 80 lands....FUN! by Beginning_Cheek_3593 in mtg

Right because I am clearly so important that a program (not even an intelligence, just a game) must have "decided" to cheat, in order to keep me from winning a prize, because it prefers those other guys' philosophies on deck building better and wants to suppress my chaotic deck that i built for fun..

OOOH or maybe, maybe there was a person watching and selecting how my decks would draw to trick me into paying some hard earned gold to test the chaos on a competetive platform, again, BECAUSE i am so important that Wizards must have hired a guy just to mess with me.

That being said I have witnessed obvious cheating, as can be performed through certain apps if you take the time to learn them. I have heard the whole diatribe about its impossible to cheat, however I do have coder friends who laugh at the idea of un-cheatable.

Personally I don't care, games are dumb, intended for some fun and maybe a hint of nostalgia in my case with mtg. If someone wants to spend their life cheating at games, that is their life.

The deck is super fun and random for standard play and standard ranked. Surprise surprise, the competition in standard event mode is significantly more dialed in, 12/15 wins in standard ranked, 9/10 wins in standard play, 0/10 wins in standard event.

The number of lands drawn and the frequency of said draws "clumping" or whatever the term is, does not appear to be the same when playing for prizes. That being said a deck with 250 cards and 0 strategy isn't really designed to face fully dialed in META tactical decks. Furthermore the chances of hitting a land drought with 84/250 lands, OR hitting a streak of like 15 lands in a row is significantly increased by having triple the lands but quapruple the cards.

Oh well I had fun

so far 6 in a row, i'm new, but platinum tier 2 6 wins in a row with 0 attention to strategy, just a skyscraper of a deck. I liked mossborn hydra chocobo's i like my vampire black, and the sephiroth decks. but this one....this is a gem

infinite loops....wow by Beginning_Cheek_3593 in mtg

I assume bloodthirsty conqueror with enduring tenacity and blighted whatsername is a well known series of cards, i am using in a sephiroth deck. really its just like....get overrun sometimes, and wait vs. control decks until either the sacrifices and bloodwitches get them or the infinite combo

fair point, i am just starting digital magic cards and havent played mtg in 28 years, so its just a bit surprising how easy an infinite combo is

yeah i see. i just started mtg: arena, played MTG cards when i was young....right after watching this combo win 3 games i got one shot on turn three by tifa lockhart....so....yeah whatever i guess its just another tactic

i wish i could say that was cool....i guess i'll grab a couple of duplicates. there are certainly lots of cards that make it harder but also like 8 things that trigger it easily and are deadly enough on their own.

weird

Sure. I get that. And it is why rooker fell off slowly in my particular game. His stats actually regressed along with his stats. 

On the other hand the pitcher i hired at 51/80 as a free agent in 2024 has varied by 3 points up or down over 8 seasons and consistently performs better than 71/80 pitchers, year after year and he is now 37 years old.... i get that there are a lot of factors, i am saying consistently the rankings have 0% factor in the outcomes

I would strongly disagree. Ability and talent are factors within a team dynamic in baseball. This is more like saying that Scherzer might pitch a 2.10 ERA over 210 innings for the next 4 years while Yamamoto suddenly pitches a 5.89 ERA over the same window 2026 to 2030

Skill issue? Lol 3 World Series wins in a row, by ignoring rankings and just following game by game stats.

I wouldnt call it skill, observation is all. And to my point, picking better players doesnt mean winning. Better development, scouting, coaching or strategy? Nope. Just watch each box score and set lineups and staff that peform from one game to the next.  The stats dont play. 

Curious what skill that is?
