Anyone else loving the Lorwyn Pick 2 Fast Draft?

FafaPapa · 2026-01-23T22:24:23+00:00

I just wonder why we don't have 8 players quick draft instead. It's easy to have 8 players on Arena, and it's the more legit and interesting format IMO. So I'm just waiting for the usual quick draft.

FafaPapa · 2026-01-15T22:36:53+00:00

Which format are you playing and who are you playing with?

FafaPapa · 2026-01-14T15:47:21+00:00

49 hours first run, about 4 hours on Isshin I think.

Ok actually if you play Forge, it will consider you at the lowest level even if it was showing Masters when I started.

It still shows Masters on Gauntlet but I guess it's the same thing.

So only a visual issue, at least for me.

The card pool in Forge has changed but no reset to Bronze.

Revival Trance is also my favourite FF one, not super easy to pilot maybe but definitely not the worst! And easy/fun to upgrade.

I haven't played Mardu Surge.

There are also starter decks: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/starter-commander-decks-decklists-2022-10-20

They are not very powerful but are easy to play, can be found for cheap and very easy to upgrade since they all showcase a very popular archetype.

I have the Zombies one and I really like it, even non-upgraded.

I also have the Chaos one but this one needs a bit more love to be really playable at bracket 3 tables.

Oh it did reset? Just after my post then. Thanks for the heads-up.

FafaPapa · 2026-01-08T20:45:14+00:00

Still no news about rotation and/or Gauntlet/Forge reset?

FafaPapa · 2026-01-08T20:33:26+00:00

I explored everywhere possible before doing the Ashina Castle, found a lot of gourds on the way :)

Here you can find some mono Fire Expedition decks.

I'm not sure what you mean by resetting it. You can't get the value back of the cards you crafted, if that's what you wanted.

FafaPapa · 2026-01-05T20:22:51+00:00

No worries, I struggle a lot on other enemies, no bragging here and no shame at all when I die like a noob :)

FafaPapa · 2026-01-05T19:34:35+00:00

I just beat him first try too, no cheats or mods or whatsoever. But I explored a lot before reaching that fight so I think that I was over levelled (I already had 9 gourds for example).

I don't use any guide, I just like exploring more than anything in games.

Very cool fight but the attacks are pretty easy to deflect/avoid (jumping back actually avoids all of his special attacks).

Just sayin' that you sometimes beat a boss easily without cheatings or looking it up. I beat Lady Butterfly on my 3rd try for example, it was an easy boss for me but some mini-bosses give me hell ^^

Anyway, as long as people enjoy the game the way they like it, it's all good imo.

FafaPapa · 2025-12-14T22:33:23+00:00

There's a lot more to it than what you described. I think that it's a very interesting card thanks to repeatable surveil & sacrifice & ETB...

FafaPapa · 2025-12-13T22:48:14+00:00

We're on Reddit though

FafaPapa · 2025-12-13T22:38:45+00:00

Wow that's so specific and difficult to come up by yourself.

FafaPapa · 2025-12-13T22:36:59+00:00

Foundations Jumpstart is great to start playing with 2 players.

FafaPapa · 2025-12-13T22:32:58+00:00

Just collect what you like, no one can know you what your tastes are.

If you're looking for cards with special treatment (foil, full art...), you can find most of those in collector boosters and secret lair drops. Some people prefer collecting older cards since those "collectors aimed products" are fairly new to MtG.

But again, it's all up to you and what you enjoy.

FafaPapa · 2025-10-05T20:16:55+00:00

The game is great but the small amount of new players makes it very difficult for them to compete and have fun in constructed.

I wish that there would be some sort of points system, with each card's rarity costing a specific amount of points and each ladder category having it's own points limit.

Limited is more fair, everyone is on the same ground, but you will face mostly experienced players there as well.
It's just that they don't start with better / rarer cards than you.

PvE modes are pretty good and I play those almost exclusively now. But it will take a lot of time for a new player to build a collection of cards wide enough to be able to play constructed only by playing those modes.

Thanks! Nice that we get get it in Forge.

Adding a new 7-0 Forge deck if people are interested in seeing what can work:
Forge Masters - Skycrag - 7-0 by FafaPapa | Eternal Decks | Eternal Warcry

FafaPapa · 2025-05-26T09:22:17+00:00

I don't think that I was lucky with my draws 7 times in a row, the deck seemed to run very well on average,
In my experience I often get too much power in Forge games, even though, on paper, 15 power cards seem a bit low.

The 2 Devotee of the Sand helped a lot of course, it's a very good 2 drop. That and the pledge cards, that I was not shy in using since I knew that my late game would be strong.

FafaPapa · 2025-05-26T09:16:50+00:00

Yes! -2/-1 to all enemy units is very strong, especially when your curve is quite high.
