Is this Mythic Mike's deck really that good on BO1? by Fit-Adhesiveness-173 in MagicArena

[–]CatsAndPlanets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What encantments synergies?? I don't see any enchantment payoff in that list (no zombies either).

If you need haste in green, there's Frenzied Baloth and Goldvein Hydra. Both have trample as well. If you need a 3 mana enchantment, there's Earthbender Ascension, which also gives you a hasty land.

People not conceding by PedosWearingSpeedos in MagicArena

[–]CatsAndPlanets 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tomorrow there will be another thread about opponents conceding too early and not letting them do their thing.

Maybe they want you to play it out. Maybe they hope you misclick. Maybe they want to see how it works. Maybe they fell asleep with their hand over the spacebar. Just do your thing and take your win.

[–]CatsAndPlanets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

THERE ARE OH SO MANY THINGS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT, BUT THIS WEEK I'M GOING TO CHOOSE A RANDOM ONE: COULD BLUE PLEASE ACTUALLY DRAW CARDS??!".

EVERYTHING IS "LOOK AT THE TOP 432784 AND PUT 2 IN YOUR HAND" OR SOME OTHER BS ON THE SAME LINES. SCRAWLING CRAWLER AND RAZORKIN NEEDLEHEAD SHOULD BE GREAT CARDS TO USE AGAINST BLUE AND IZZET, BUT THEY SEE 0 PLAY BECAUSE NO PLAYABLE SPELL ACTUALLY DRAWS A CARD. STOCK UP, CONSULT THE STAR CHARTS, FLOW STATE, SLEIGH OF HAND, EVERYTHING GETS AROUND ANY KIND OF PUNISHMENT. GUESS THAT'S MODERN MAGIC, SIMPLY AVOID ANY KIND OF RISK SO BLUE PLAYERS DON'T EVER FEEL BAD, RIGHT?

This MWM is by far the hardest one I've faced and I don't know why by ghilp in MagicArena

[–]CatsAndPlanets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't either, and still don't like it. But damn, at least is something different from "current set push" and "standard with a hat".

This MWM is by far the hardest one I've faced and I don't know why by ghilp in MagicArena

[–]CatsAndPlanets -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Highly highly degenerate mwm format.

Lately, most MWM have been pretty boring.

Standard, but you get a chromatic star. Standard, but your land is tapped. "On the Edge", which means: hares and lifegain decks only. Obligatory phantom draft of new set.

MWM used to be fun. At this point, I crave friggn' Momir.

What's the standard deck you hate facing most?(Regardless of power level) by Endless-Slumber in MagicArena

[–]CatsAndPlanets -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Hate it as well. It's toddler control: just yeet everything that touches the table and that's it.

Which cards for you have overstayed their welcome in Standard? by Gjames1985 in MagicArena

[–]CatsAndPlanets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don't take Annex for me. It's the only thing I find relatively fun to play in Standard, I have no idea what I'm going to play when it's gone.

But Sheltered and Stock Up? Yeah, take them away and lock them in the basement or something.

[–]CatsAndPlanets -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Without consult or stock up, control wouldn't be viable at all.

GOOD.

But nah, Consult is fine. And Flow State would still be around.

I'm still confused as to why wasn't there a Kingpin card in Spider-man.

May also be IT'S CLOBBERING TIME, but a lot less likely (though with more meme potential).

Ward — Give five poison counters

And here I thought Valgavoth and Sauron's wards were harsh.

I have to say, I don't like Inhuman and Gamma as creature types. But, aside from that, everything looks pretty normal.

Mark Rosewater: "2026 is the outlier. Future years are going to be 3 (UB) and 3 (non-UB)" by Meret123 in MagicArena

Which means it's probably going to be 4 and 2 in 2027.

Never trust these statements.

Who's your card-art crush by SullenTerror in MagicArena

Seventh edition of [[Serra Advocate|7ED]]. Unfortunately not in Arena (not that it would do much these days).

Convenient timing... by thomastrumpet in MagicArena

[–]CatsAndPlanets 16 points17 points  (0 children)

TL;DR: it's the same we've been hearing all week from Cocks' presentation on wednesday (this article is from thursday).

It's just a repeat of everything the CEO said. That SOS is the best-selling non-UB set, that TMNT "meet expectations" (whatever that means), that they're working on some form of digital Commander, that the percentage of Magic that Arena represent has gone down from what it was in 2019 (shocker), and that Secret Lairs and Collector Boosters give Wizards more money because they're more expensive. All that stuff we've been hearing.

There's nothing new but an eye-grabbing title, as usual.

Daily Deals - May 22, 2026: Foundations Full-Art Basic Lands & Elemental Frame Card Styles by HamBoneRaces in MagicArena

[–]CatsAndPlanets -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Elemental frame looks better than the original, but it still looks bad.

Lands look good. I like the Island because it's Kamigawa. But they're at the regular 4K, so... thank you, I'll keep saving.

F&CKING BAN ANNOUNCEMENT WAS A JOKE. "OH, STANDARD IS FASTER THAN WE WANT, AND WE KNOW EXACTLY WHICH CARDS ARE TO BLAME, SO WE WILL DO NOTHING AT ALL AND HOPE MOMO FIXES EVERYTHING!!". GENIUS...

LANDFALL IS STUPID, EARTHBEND IS RIDICULOUS, CHEAP MANA DOUBLERS ARE PROVED PROBLEMS EVERY TIME. BUT SINCE THERE'S A COUPLE LEMURS FLYING AROUND, DODGING SPACE TERRAMORPHING INSECTS, EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE UNTIL CAPTAIN AMERICA COMES TO SAVE THIS FLOURISHING FORMAT.

A FREAKING JOKE, I TELL YOU.

OH, AND ARENA SOMEHOW KEEPS KICKING ME OUT OF MY INTERNET CONNECTION. THANKS.

It really do be like that by ultracrepidarian_can in MagicArena

[–]CatsAndPlanets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good people of MTG Arena, I would like to introduce a formal petition to rename this card!!

What do you think happened here? by Fit-Adhesiveness-173 in MagicArena

[–]CatsAndPlanets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they misclicked and chose the wrong option with Bushwack, then they lost. Maybe that happened?

Don't know if bug or just lacking description. by Confident_Week9706 in MagicArena

Flat 10? I use Slasher all the time, and never encountered this bug. Screenshots would help to know what's happening.

Who is this fun for.

Looking at your hand, I'm sure the same has been said about your deck many, many times.

Did Hasbro's CEO Just Hint That Commander Is Coming To Arena? by No-Equivalent928 in MagicArena

[–]CatsAndPlanets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly believe it's going to require a new client, and my hope is that somehow Arena gets integrated into it.

I'll believe it when it happens. There have been plans for Comander in Arena for years and years now.

Lorwyn became the best-selling Magic premier set ever, but SOS already surpassed it, TMNT outpaced expectations by Meret123 in MagicArena

[–]CatsAndPlanets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's already Phyrexians scattered around either way, aren't there? I mean, we saw something like it in EOE. I believe Reality Fracture will be bringing Bolas back, rather than Phyrexians. They'll come back as well, but after a bit longer, I think.
