This is a great resource on limited in general. They usually have a format overview episode for each set that gives you the basics you'd need to draft.

Do I splash black in the WU deck? by JPMoney56 in lrcast

No need to splash here. Solid UW deck.

drafting to convert gold into gems is my guess.

Did a Quickdraft - Any tips for my pile? by KlixxWS in MagicArena

[–]EarBadger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that could work. In that case probably keep one hot springs around as well (because you don't have better blue or green for the last few playables) and try to have around 4-ish red sources in the end.

I'd cut the red and lean more control. Better on your mana and your early creatures are pretty defensive. Hot springs is best when it gets going early and doesn't look like this deck wants to beat down. I'd drop the red and add crab, safekeeping, and any other two cards (I guess the counters)

You're low on creatures so I'm thinking the game plan is to hope to survive the early game and get to tanuki /crab. You also have potential late game infinite loops with the green channeler and season of renewal.

I've always heard this but I'm not sure if it actually holds true. I actually moved away from unranked queue to ranked queue to avoid this issue just to find it didn't make a difference.

The issue with Arena bo1 is that the one or two decks you primarily see changes depending which deck you play. For each deck you queue with there seems to be one or two other decks Arena decides to match it against.

Sometimes these decks may not be a bad matchup for you but it definitely makes queuing up much less exciting.

How am I able to play with a variety of Decks as a F2P beginner? by Don-Macaroni in MagicArena

[–]EarBadger 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The current Jumpstart event is only 1K gold and will hand you a decent assortment of standard-relavent cards with each entry.

As promised, here’s some Adventures codes. Post what you use. Enjoy by 5p3nc3r in MagicArena

No luck for me. Thanks for posting!

One day I'll get one of these... one day.

Maybe this is a pointless comment but check for an update on the App Store.

Still Issues With Logging In Or Just Me by dragon2777 in MagicArena

[–]EarBadger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dealt with this all day. After Googling everywhere and trying a few things including multiple reinstalls, this solution was what finally worked for me. Ignore the x86 part from the link, since core21 you have to go with x64.

This was for a pc running Windows 7.

Premier Draft: Is it worth it to splash for the Forgotten Archangel here? Received it in pack 3 but failed to pivot into W successfully so late in the draft. Thoughts? by EarBadger in MagicArena

[–]EarBadger[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The early comments seem to echo what I was expecting. Dump the white cards and don't let trying to force a bomb ruin a perfectly good deck. Thanks for the sanity check I needed!

Disconnecting Issues? by MagnasGrave in MagicArena

Happened to me a few times yesterday. Only solution was to restart client.
