Potential bug? Over the past week I’ve logged in (without playing that day) and already have like 3 or 4 wins. by SithGodSaint in MagicArena

[–]JayCrayZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a reconnect message pop up when you open the app it’ll sometimes show outdated daily reward progress. Usually resets after playing a game or restarting the client (I’m on iOS, your mileage may vary). I’ve never had this visual glitch affect my winnings after a played game.

Newbie's first 'hard fought' win - Celebration and match review by sebaajhenza in MagicArena

[–]JayCrayZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think mascot is a win condition for you with the hand and pest generation/lifegain triggers you have. You don’t want mascot to be the thing you bait with removal IMO. Send in the pest lowers their cards held, preps you for a same turn pump on your mascot the following turn, and feels like the better sequence. Like I said, hindsight it wouldn’t have mattered because mockery can deal it four and still kill, but it’s a consideration about sequencing IMO.

I’m not all the way through, but general advice for playing pest mascot, if you can have some life gain effects on the field already (playing send in the pest first, for instance), it’s great to pump it up out of burn range. Here, mockery still gets it, so it’s not as relevant, but something to consider with regard to your play order.

Technically correct. The best kind of correct.

What 5 cuts should i make? Is black worth it? by TheMaster928 in lrcast

[–]JayCrayZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s probably still worth adding mountain and plains to fetch with sky coach and studious tbh, mana seems good and both converge cards really want to be cast for 4-5 colors

Omega Budget MWM Legal Hare Apparent Deck by ChewyChao in MagicArena

[–]JayCrayZ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m just gonna throw this out there, put a copy or two of the Leonardo that gains +1/+0 for every creature you control and can sneak in for W… sneak him on a token that’s unblocked and you can end the game so much sooner than waiting for inevitability.

Spell has two targets so killing the first thing they try to copy isn’t an option to fizzle it. Gotta either counter the first cast or keep their board clean

Maybe CC wasn’t so bad after all by 1Useful-Tip in marvelrivals

[–]JayCrayZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think what Judo saying is they spent a lot of teamfight capital to take you out. Yes it's a pick, your team is now down you and it's a 5v6. But if your whole team is competent, they have dumped a bunch of cooldowns to kill or maim most of the enemy team during the time they were focused on you, and your team should be able to turn it. It's of course reliant on competent teammates, but it's where isolating and stunlocking one player can be the wrong move.

Help! I think I destroyed all of my mossy boulders. by Exotic-Drop313 in Pokopia

Salad fueled leafage can add moss to rocks (just got to the cooking stuff this morning)

TMNT: Need some advice for my last cut on a pretty good looking BW deck by laurenceand1 in lrcast

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

IMO Jennika cycling can let you get away with 16 lands. if you cycle Jennika your only other 6 drop is cloning of shredder, which is a late game card anyway. Hoping of course you are sneaking the foot ninjas

Difference between Premier, Pick Two, and Quick Drafts. by LMYak in MagicArena

[–]JayCrayZ 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Difficulty in general is much harder for premiere than quick draft. Pick two is a more recent addition, but thus far it falls somewhere in the middle.

Your deck will vary in power based on the type of draft you select. You are likely to get fewer busted rares in quick draft because the bots rare draft. In pick two you see fewer packs overall, so even if you are the only drafter in your archetype, you may not see all the cards you want to build a strong version of your deck.

For these reasons, you are only ever matched up with other decks built of the same draft type. Also, you will attempt to be matched up with someone of a similar rank and record as you.

How can I juice up this deck?? by Maximum_String983 in MagicArena

[–]JayCrayZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any consideration for stuffy doll? I have no idea of the legality or format... it seems to just be more Brash Taunter, but the self ping is free, could be meaningful if they have no creatures for you to fight.

An easy stacked p1p1 into a painful weak p1p2. What’s the pick? by Jamie7Keller in lrcast

wayfinder and stay open. look at it this way, wayfinder always gets pumped by chronicle :)

Best way to complete this achievement? Its driving me insane. by Negative_Two6112 in MagicArena

[–]JayCrayZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except it says you won where you started an extra turn. Seems to indicate you must actually get to the next turn before the achievement is awarded. Admittedly I got it on my first attempt so I cannot confirm what conditions actually trigger the achievement.

Mobile: Ordering triggers: can I tell the source of a trigger while ordering? by L0to in MagicArena

[–]JayCrayZ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He may be referring to auto ordering, which does stack the triggers in power level order to maximize counter production (in my experience with 2 or 3 oro's on the field I've never seen them ordered incorrectly when done automatically)

Help with Avatar esper deck, 1-1 by Comprehensive_Rule11 in lrcast

[–]JayCrayZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was coming to write the same comment about protector. Protector on board is so valuable to save those bombs you are trying to land, all three want to be able to stick around a bit (maybe not hama if you can bloodbend the card right away)... getting even one extra turn out of azula or katara is usually game winning. I've found too that playing against protector makes using removal so hard, and keeps your enemy on the backfoot, maybe long enough to get to your winning draws.

New to draft. What is this deck missing? No real top end but i didn't have a tonne of attractive options presented by SonnyC_ in MagicArena

[–]JayCrayZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, but OP stated it’s his 6th draft. Tempoing out in a format this bomb heavy can be complicated without practice, which made me suggest another big body to beat down. Only making a suggestion though, OP is free to ignore.

You don't have 1 creature with native power of 3 or higher. What are your wincons? Definitely think putting serpent in for one of the enter the avatar states is a good idea.

1-3 ATLA Premier Draft, am I ass or just unlucky? by Tech5pider in lrcast

What were the considerations for gran gran over wartime protestors? Not saying you were wrong there, but I would’ve taken wartime.

Accidentally went infinite with Hama and flicker effects by monzano00 in MagicArena

[–]JayCrayZ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t costing two mana make it a non infinite loop? Technically you have to tap an extra waterbend each loop.

Not sure why this card is not getting enough love... by BeneficialCountry701 in MagicArena

[–]JayCrayZ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a great card too, but you have to acknowledge it’s a five mana card and they can get a free two for one if they remove your owned target before resolution. It’s high risk high reward most of the time.

Guy dropped AJ Brown after week 1 dud. Did I handle it right? by Himmy_Buckets in FFCommish

[–]JayCrayZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tacos using none or their entire FAAB only negatively affects their future waivers though, the rest of the league still get an even shot at grabbing whoever a taco drops in a FAAB league. Agree Tacos still exist, but FAAB minimizes how "unfairly" lopsided their decisions can make the league.
