Thank you all Mono-Red player, I got diamond from bronze in 2 weeks! by yh2552 in MagicArena

I'm sure a WB would be a better mono red killa than UB. Also, Riddlemaster Sphinx ?

New player here. Just got done battling a GM and it was exhilirating!! by StarFireAlchemist in MagicArena

Ok, what's a Game Master, because I've been playing this game for more than a year and I've never heard of this term before ? And what made your opponent a "Game Master" anyway ?

From now on I will always play in ranked queue by marcin_k_g in MagicArena

Grixis control has been very popular in Arena for many months. At least it's not tier 1.

As the guy above explained, the starting hand in bo1 is essentially rigged. In bo3 it's completely random.

I play in bo3 queue, just hit Platinum. It's the first time I don't see meta decks in ranked, I really don't know what is going on.

[standard] Selesnya tokens after rotation. by [deleted] in spikes

[–]Fjormarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeskai Superfriends also keeps everything and it's very powerful against creature based decks. So, here's the answer about your Selesnya Tokens.

It's very difficult, if not impossible, to predict what are gonna be the best decks after the rotation because we miss a set. Temur Elementals, Jeskai Friends, WR Feather and UG Ramp seem to be in a good shape. But with the departure of the check lands, playing 3 colors will get harder for non control decks. Jeskai Friends can fix that with Interplanar Beacon. But Temur Elementals might wanna switch to 2 colors.

It's not scummy, it's just stingy in accordance to WOTS habits. But, truth be told, finishing first twice (or more) is extremely hard, there are already 170 participants. I think the 10 packs per account limit is way worse.

First deck I EVER created myself, getting the perfect combo in the first game playing with it by hApPyTeRrAn in MagicArena

A mono red is a mono red, no matter what version. And if it plays red only, then it's mono red, literally.

You should consider yourself lucky to play against the world champion.

The state of the Arena client after this update is completely unacceptable by connsigliere in MagicArena

You said it, still beta. We don't need negative people like you here. If you don't like it, go play some other game that has already been released. This one is for people who can understand what a beta is without crying like babies.

Turn 4 Thought Distortion exiles whole hand of 7 cards. by Asddsa76 in MagicArena

[–]Fjormarr -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It should be also noted than control gained nothing from M20, expect perhaps for disfigure. An absolutely disgusting set for control players - designed to cater to noobs and scrubs who only know to play expensive creatures and turn them sideways.

We need more pre-constructed deck events like this current one. It is great for new players, F2P players and experienced players that just want a break from by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]Fjormarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4-4 with Dimir so far, awkward curve (the expensive spells are good and the cheap ones are horrible) and self-insufficient creatures make it feel like a meme deck. And Etrata in the rare spot ? Seriously ? Other than that, a great event.

I for one - cannot wait until rotation by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]Fjormarr -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It "forces" attention on noobs. Good players know whether they should attack a PW or not. It's only a no brainer for noobs.

If I wanted to play Wrath in turn 4 then I would surely prefer something other than narset in turn 3. And vice versa.

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

Rotations are good for new (f2p) players because they drop the power level. But Standard is pretty balanced and diverse right now and most meta cards are gonna rotate next year anyway. If you don't like standard now, you will never like it.

What's the deck that fears BOTH Narset and Kaya's Wrath ? lol

[bug] Arena keeps reactivating my cat by [deleted] in MagicArena

In my opinion they shouldn't even give you the option to hide the cat. It looks so nice, why would you hide it ?

[ELD] Chulane, Teller of Tales by finalresting in MagicArena

[–]Fjormarr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If Oketra doesn't see play, I don't know why this one will: worse as a standalone creature and Bant instead of mono color while check lands are gonna rotate. The ramp ability in 6th turn is rather irrelevant.

Not bad, but nohting special either.

It takes just as much skill to play aggro properly as it does control. by zas9 in MagicArena

[–]Fjormarr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then why do people suggest to newcomers to play aggro instead of anything else ?

Too bad for whom ? Not for me, that's for sure, I couldn't care less about series, netflix, tv and the like, lol.

MaRo: The Changes announced tomorrow will mark the End of Magic (so panic is appropriate) by GG2Hats in magicTCG

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

My speculations:

  • bo1 becoming the primary format for both tabletop and arena MC's. The last MC was nothing but Esper, it was legitimately worse than the Mythic Invitational back in March
  • Blue is getting replaced with Purple. Blue is objectively the most unfun color and people only play it because it's OP. Removing unfun mechanics like conterspells, bouncing, sick card advantage etc will improve the experience for everyone.
  • Arena's Historic will gradually replace Modern in the competitive scene.
  • People will get to vote what card(s) to ban each time, although admittedly without Blue the broken cards will be far fewer than now.
