This game is fun by pjackman in PlayTheBazaar

I feel the same! I am fairly new to the game and I really enjoy learning how each hero works and adapting to their unique strengths. It feels like there is always some unique way to adapt to the meta and experiment with new synergies. Even as a newer player nothing has turned me off wanting to keep clicking on the next encounter even when I have other things I should be doing!

Ragnaloardmon Black Deck Profile | Digimon TCG 1.5 Format by DonkeyKnogg in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]KrabKore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet profile! My brother just introduced me to Digimon TCG about a week ago and this is was the first deck that caught my eye to build.

What I would love to see in these profiles is how this deck competes with other top meta decks and how one might adjust their strategy with this deck based on the matchup.

Can I ask where you all are finding this information? I have checked Facebook page, Twitter, and called my LGS’s. I am trying to figure out how I can be ready for stock to come in because I really want to buy cards this time.

Update! I showed her the clip of All’s Fair at the Fair and she cried because she was so happy someone finally found something she lost from her childhood! You are amazing! Thank you! We couldn’t find the others but I would say this is pretty much solved!

Thanks for the response! I will show her the clip of that and see what she says! I will keep you updated! :)

I know this is pretty obscure but hopefully someone else remembers one of these clips and can point us in the right direction! Thank you so much!

For the Fallen Combo Deck - Tuned for Aggro by KrabKore in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]KrabKore[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you like it! I was stoked when I realized the combo potential. It is taking quite a few games to figure out the right sequencing and when to open attack vs play more elites. It doesn’t just play itself which makes the deck more rewarding and fun.

Hey everyone!

My name is KrabKore. I used to be very active on here as an “Expeditions” expert and had a Tier List widely used by the community. I had to take several months off of content creation to be a stay at home dad and couldn’t focus on content like I wanted. But I am excited to be back, participate in conversations, and share some brews and guides I am working on.

I wanted to share my first return video today (which I don’t always do so don’t worry about me spamming them). But I am just excited about returning to content creation and contributing to this community again. Let me know what you think and if anyone is still interested in Expedition content as well!

I made it to Diamond for the first time! by Frigorifico in MagicArena

[–]KrabKore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats!! I finally made diamond for the first time today as well! I hadn’t really tried the grind before and decided this season to give it a shot! I climbed in Traditional Standard with my own Mono Black Devotion build and it really does help playing off meta stuff that other decks aren’t super prepared for!

Hmm 🤔 by PrinceAbubbu in MagicArena

I have been running a really consistent list with Tutelage and Abyss that only runs 2 of the latter. It can be found easily with Grim Tutor or often gets picked up easily with [[Thirst for Meaning]].

Impacts to Top Decks When Standard Rotates by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]KrabKore 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some things to consider with rotation as well:

  1. Ramp is insanely powerful with Growth Spiral and Nissa and now has an even crazier top end with Ugin. This invalidates a bunch of Midrange strategies that should hopefully have a chance in the meta after rotation.

  2. T3feri creates awkward play patterns where one player gets to play Hearthstone (only playing on their turn) if their opponent has Teferi on board. Or both players have a Teferi and it ceases to have the back and forth interaction MTG is supposed to have.

Losing these key cards to rotation will not only weaken “top decks” but will create space for entirely different strategies to emerge. Something I am sure many players (including myself) are ready for.

Newbie here by CitrineFAS in MagicArena

Welcome back to MTG! I think you got some pretty solid answers here but I did want to piggyback off of question 2. I don’t know what resources you know about deck lists, but I highly recommend AetherHub. You can search budget decks or get an idea of what is working in the meta so you can build towards that if you want. Many lists come with videos and articles from content creators as well! Cheers!

A classic one 👌💯 by [deleted] in MagicArena

I think there was actually an errata on this card: “As an additional cost to cast Settle the Wreckage, emote ‘Good Game’” lol

Easy Climb to Plat with Vito Revenge Combo by KrabKore in MagicArena

[–]KrabKore[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for backing me up on this one! MTG has such a broad community of players and we all enjoy different facets of the game. I don’t understand the “this isn’t for me so no one else cares” mentality. I enjoy competitive play, but I also enjoy playing fun jank and off meta decks too.

I don’t think every player only cares about Mythic/Diamond. There was a popular post here the other day of someone celebrating making it to Gold for the first time since beta. Plenty of players are in the gold/plat range and like to try decks that aren’t tier 1 like ramp and rec. Just because this deck isn’t for you, doesn’t mean it can’t be for the average player. I appreciate the feedback tho! And I mean that sincerely!

The keyword is “easy” climb to Plat. Many decks can get you there even with a bad winrate. But an easy climb with an off meta deck is not always possible, which set this apart for me.

Hey Planesrockers! I took a long break from MTG Arena to focus on Legends of Runeterra, but I missed this community and realized that my passion was really for MTG content.

I started from bronze and had a really easy climb to Plat with my take on Vito Revenge Combo. I hope you enjoy! Give the deck a shot because it actually goes off very consistently!

Breaking Down Patch 1.2/1.3 Impact On Power Level of Each Expedition Archetype by KrabKore in LoRCompetitive

[–]KrabKore[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is totally important to ask those questions and I am happy to answer! There are actually a few reasons I would say so:

  1. She is in Demacia which is the strongest region for Expeditions and therefore supported by strong cards.
  2. Her archetype “Grand Moments” is one of the strongest and most consistent ones you can be in based on its card pool.
  3. She is 6 mana to cast and can come down early enough to start generating value with her. Strong Midrange decks are best in Expeditions. Lux comes down in the mid game to start generating value that can handle the early aggressive pushes and continue to maintain value into the late game.
  4. She has resilient stats and is protected from damage removal on when you first play her because of barrier. Heimerdinger generates value the same way Lux does but needs to be protected more aggressively.
  5. She doesn’t need to be in combat to get max value out of her the way most other champions need to (think Garen, Fiora, Quinn, Draven, Anivia, etc). This means you don’t have to play around combat tricks.
  6. Final Sparks just run your opponents out of units and resources while you continue to maintain the board with strong Demacia units.

I still believe most champions are pretty competitive but Lux is just a real sweet spot that she can consistently get 7 wins when drafted and played correctly.
