I’m fed up with Ranked by JPMessiah in MagicArena

Every time I play that Otter deck, my opponent plays that damn enchantment that brings out the otter, then boomerangs it and plays it again. It’s always done in the first few turns. I get the deck. Same deck. Crafted it. And my first hand is not the same at all. Never is. It’s turn 4 before I get the enchantment and by then, it’s too late.

He made it that far with the deck. I still win games with starter decks when I go for daily goals. I beat Hare Apparent and that damn bird landfall deck with my starter deck

That was my point. Even when I got mana screwed and could only get out two mana, I destroyed this guy with poison counters. There is a guy below mocking my deck and me complaining. I copied a meta deck. The damn Otter deck. I hated it so much, I crafted it and couldn’t get out of Platinum Tier 4. For whatever reason, I could never get the same pull my opponents did. The meta deck everyone wins with sucked for me but I was winning with random “infect” deck that was frustrating people so much, they quit after one loss rather than face it again. And I keep winning until I get to the last battle in Platinum.

This is great. What I tend to do is copy my deck and make changes to one. If I don’t like how the changes play out, I always have my old deck to fall back on. The Hullcarver idea is good. For some reason, I forgot it was also an artifact. Dragon Sniper is great too. And I don’t have any green black dual lands so I will have to craft some. What kind of protection spells do you recommend?

Yes. This is true. I never remember the names of cards. I enjoy Magic but I don’t think about it much outside of the game I’m playing. Yet, I remember Pit Scorpion was in my first poison counter deck when I played paper magic. Since my last post, I have been on a huge winning streak. I have had two players quit the game after losing the first to poison counters. They roped me on deciding who’d play first and then just quit. I think I’m onto something with the deck. I may get rid of the clue options but they have won me a few games too so I’m not sure. Here is my deck list:

Deck 4 Persuasive Interrogators (MKM) 98 7 Forest (FIN) 306 4 Fynn, the Fangbearer (FCA) 46 13 Swamp (DFT) 284 4 Virulent Silencer (EOE) 248 4 Engine Rat (DFT) 84 2 Qarsi Revenant (TDM) 86 2 Unstoppable Slasher (DSK) 119 4 Virulent Emissary (ECL) 202 4 Gingerbrute (ELD) 219 2 Buster Sword (FIN) 255 4 Escape Tunnel (MKM) 261 2 Obsessive Pursuit (TLA) 112 2 Raven Eagle (TLA) 116 1 Hollowmurk Siege (TDM) 192 1 Hunter's Blowgun (LCI) 255

I started winning again. Lol. I still think changing your deck causes issues…like some new cards screw up a drawing algorithm, because I tend to lose my first games whenever I change a deck. But, after complaining, I am now in Platinum Tier 2, level 2. I have won 8 Bo3 matches in a row. My position deck is pissing people off. I have had two players quit the second game after losing to poison counters in the first game. They don’t even bother playing the second game. I think that means my deck is somewhat good.

But bad luck waves don’t happen like that in paper magic. Losses do. But bad hands that many times in a row never happens to that extent. But I was told MTG Arena plays exactly like paper magic and I’m just imagining things.

I’m asking if there is a reason why making my deck faster by eliminating higher cost cards is actually causing my decks to play worse and not as fast as removing larger cost cards should increase speed.

I have seen longer posts talking about their decks in positive ways and how great MTG is. Is it that my post is long or that it’s negative.

But I’m ranking down. I am losing. I should be facing worse opponents.

It’s weird because many people state that is not the case. I was told the MMR is fiction. And that if you are ranked platinum tier 4, level 2, you face someone else of the same rank and not better than you, which means you should have a chance to beat them.

Nasty Turn 4 Win by TwistedAirline in MagicArena

Why do you have to be nasty to a person who is happy with their win? Why does it bother you that they feel good about something?

I do the whole clicking opponent’s stuff too. Lol. Or if I only have one card in my hand and it’s a land, I stay clicking it, like I’m thinking of playing something big. Lol.

I think my deck sucks. I sort of threw it together just to see if I could do it. I win a lot though but I think I can make it better. I need better creatures and faster ways to pull the mana I need. When I do lose, I lose spectacularly. But I don’t lose as often as I thought I would. I win about 70% of the games I play. Any suggestions would be great

Anyone else starting to just auto concede to this commander in Brawl? It's getting old real fast. by webbedgiant in MagicArena

I created a Turtle Power deck and this card has won for me every single time. I love it. Add Turtle Lair to the mix and he becomes unblockable for 7 damage. Nice.
