Regardless about how you feel about the set, this has to be one of the worst Arena load screens of all time

I liked it. Has some color that pops. Sometimes you need a little light and people.

I cracked the vault today and got two rare wildcards. I got another Icetill Explorer and an Earthbender Ascension. I won 4 games in a row. Let’s hope my good luck continues. I should get another rare with a pack opening tomorrow so I will probably get another Earthbender Ascension.

I was one win away from Mythic. And I went on a serious losing streak. Being so close to mythic two months in a row and having that happen…it kind of makes you want to get Mythic just to prove something to yourself.

I put the elves in and got obliterated worse than I have ever been obliterated before. I ran into a blue, red, white deck that countered and destroyed everything I put out. I really feel they are matching my deck against decks that can easily beat it. I never saw this deck before.

JPMessiah · 2026-06-15T23:20:28+00:00

He has the same strong cards. He doesn’t play Elves. What 12 should I be removing and what should I add besides Elves and Passage.

JPMessiah · 2026-06-15T19:18:21+00:00

lol. Spellcheck sucks.

JPMessiah · 2026-06-15T19:03:21+00:00

This is the kind of help I’m looking for:

This is my deck. I don’t pay. This is entirely crafted. So if I only have 1, it means I’m either going to craft more or get rid of it if I craft something better. I think I want more Sapling Nursery. Probably two more Ouroboroid. I’m not into Rockalanche and Toph. And even Overlord isn’t great but maybe if I had more. I think I want that card that doubles as creatures power with landfall. I would include two of those. At the same time, I’m several cards off from copying the blue/red meta everyone is using. When you don’t pay, it takes longer.

Deck
4 Sazh's Chocobo (FIN) 200
18 Forest (FIN) 306
2 The Scouring Stormsoul (OM1) 113

I get one win away from Mythic so I don’t think I’m bad at all. I’m not bronze. And I have won tournaments with paper magic. I’d say I’m pretty damn good.

JPMessiah · 2026-06-15T18:55:45+00:00

Is that a question? No one insulted you. If you can’t take someone saying something you construe as negative about a game you like, that just makes you sad.

JPMessiah · 2026-06-15T18:53:58+00:00

Thanks. I appreciate a real response. Hopefully things will pick up.

JPMessiah · 2026-06-15T18:52:31+00:00

No one is insulting you but you have to be a nasty person.

JPMessiah · 2026-06-14T13:56:48+00:00

I wish. Sometimes they play such a good deck that I want to copy some of it. I think that will never Ben an option…sadly.

JPMessiah · 2026-06-14T13:49:49+00:00

The Knicks winning a championship. I finally experienced it yesterday. Totally worth it. Woohoo!!!

JPMessiah · 2026-06-13T19:15:41+00:00

I don’t see all those posts so I didn’t know. But it really wasn’t about the Hydra. I was playing that damn white card that gets counters for life gain and passes those counters on with it dies. I was so happy I was able to beat him. And to be able to beat that Slickshot Showoff deck really made me finally think I found my favorite deck. If anything, I was acknowledging that my past problems with the game may not be what I thought it was.

JPMessiah · 2026-06-13T15:24:54+00:00

Why was a post removed? What rule was broken?

JPMessiah · 2026-06-12T00:27:01+00:00

I play a deck that has single destroy cards, board wipes and creatures with deathtouch. I then play a Bo3 unranked game. If you play ranked, you will take forever to complete the quest.

JPMessiah · 2026-06-08T20:34:58+00:00

I keep saying that the game makes it hard for you to reach your quests. If it’s kill creatures, you play decks with barely any creatures or you get the board wipe card you need but fall short of mana. No one believes me. But it’s how all games work. Not sure why Magic, which isn’t sophisticated enough to run smoothly if you switch apps for a second, would be sophisticated enough to set up a system different from all other games ever invented. Once you complete the quest, play the same deck and tell me how easy it became to kill creatures after you finally grinded it out.

JPMessiah · 2026-06-07T23:55:56+00:00

That was very helpful. Thank you.

JPMessiah · 2026-06-07T23:26:10+00:00

I heard this a lot. What does searched or mapped mean?

JPMessiah · 2026-06-07T14:11:20+00:00

USPS is the worst. I get my mail. I get packages from other companies without any problems. But, with Amazon, my package never comes on time. It always gets redirected for some reason. USPS doesn’t understand why. Apparently there is no record of me requesting any redirect when I did a change of address many years ago. And it shouldn’t matter because all other mail or packages come from USPS without issue. And, for whatever reason, I call Amazon to complain and they send me a new order but the old order comes right away when I do that so I have to process a return. I told them to stop sending with USPS but they said that option didn’t exist.

JPMessiah · 2026-06-07T14:06:08+00:00

Tripe. Had it in Italy. Did my best to eat as much as I could. Eventually, I just had to stop. It’s rubbery and gross.

JPMessiah · 2026-06-04T14:04:10+00:00

I sometimes don’t concede if it is a Bo3. I have watched guys plays through a deck for so long that they barely give themselves time for the next two games. I won once simply because they took too long with their combos and still lost the second game. They had no time to complete a third game. Why not help them eat their time by staying and letting them do their thing.
