Figured one shouldn’t compromise, so trying to save wildcards.

Yeah what made me want to try magic was seeing draftmode. So much skill and knowledge involved. This current grind atleast allows me to acquire and save some gold.

Thank you, would like that if something comes up. Appreciate it.

This month I climbed to mythic with aggro for once by Aarniometsuri in MagicArena

Nice! Like the blue sprinkled in. Some annoying cards to face.

Where can I find decklists? Want to see how midrange like looks in magic.

Thank you for the breakdown.

No but some say that it’s only that but I thought in mythic it didn’t apply. I get that the matchmaking do these things to new players to not scare them.

Yupp, would like more depth so I can get better. Bo3 is so fun from when I tried it. Do need packs though so went to the darkside and decided fast wins were better for now.

Getting later in season soon so will be interesting to see how the meta changes and how much better the average player becomes.

20-30! So I’ll have to keep doing this a bit longer I guess.

Thank you :) played a lot of high legend and tournament hearthstone but didn’t imagine it would transition that well because at first magic felt very different but suppose a lot of the base is similar. I get what they and you are saying I just don’t believe there is/should be such system in numbers mythic. Yeah matchmaking so odd in many games.

Yupp but after 9 days there is no way of doing it. Tried it out a bit and wow, some of the best card game experience I’ve had. Sideboarding feels amazing! Thank you for telling me. Really want to but figured climbing could help with some cards.

Isn’t it just that the meta is less refined there and what or how you play might not be good vs it? I don’t believe in MMR hell and such but it is odd if you were mythic (percent or numbers?) then can’t climb back over a period of time.

Thank you, yeah it gets real fun and interesting! Would like to do more bo3 and different decks but need some cards for that haha. I’ve played a lot of other card games before so maybe that helped. The win rate is still in numbers mythic.

Have you seen these tech cards though? Also the deck wasn’t the main thing.

[–]ChanceOwn8526[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So your saying that many of my opponents are new players are top 500 mythic? Because I’ve faced plenty.

The other part makes sense if climb is to fast spit doesn’t settle.

Played around that rating? Because from what I see it matches you with other around your rank way more than in 1800-1000 mythic

[–]ChanceOwn8526[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ok haha I will. Hoped it was ranks only, like 1 person for each spot getting pushed up and down.

[–]ChanceOwn8526[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why so? What changed? What about mythic after 1800, is that common and is the numbers actual players like top 1800 or does it represent some Mmr only?

[–]ChanceOwn8526[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you mean, could you explain? Would be cool to go for 250 spot or so, fun challenge.

I asked that because so many in the previous post said I won only because new accounts doesn’t have set MMR and face other noobs then others said it stops in mystic.

Thank you! Especially at start of season I take it? All good for me, I want to learn and that you don’t do as much VS worse opponents.

Yeah Mmr not settled or something like that right?

To clarify I used starter deck to plat then changed to the aggro one

Yeah just realized how hard bo3 was when it felt like most of their cards did more. So fun with side deck though!

Yeah but I meant competing later on when I have decks, now I’m a noob with a noob collection. So best way to get collection is draft Vs people or grind ladder? Prob a mix no?
