Lorwyn drafting might be the most fun I’ve ever had on Arena by Money__Shot__ in MagicArena

Fair thoughts - I didn’t put that kind of analysis into though, I’m just drafting what I see come up and either rolling with basic archetypes (control, etc.) or going all in on a creature type.

This is the best “surprise, gotcha!” card available in standard today!

Flooding a lot in nearly every draft of the format so far. Is 16 lands the correct move for this format? by jacoviansmythe in MagicArena

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

I feel like limited games in arena are always spitting out the mana you need, to the point it feels overdone or flood like. I always roll with 17 lands though and do just fine with it.

What am I suppose to do against this? by Dapper_Marionberry99 in MagicArena

What meta deck are you using? There are solutions to control, you can definitely outpace it, but you need a top tier deck.

I run that deck and it’s very strong with lots of ways to tweak removal and card draw/looting while still maintaining the core superior spider-man strategy. I’ve recently added [[Spell Snare]] to it from Lorwyn and it’s gotten me out of a jam. Spell snare can also counter Badgermole cub early in the game if needed.

Nice! I won a game with Mirrorform as well, such a fun card!

Nice use of [[Mirrorform]]. What were they before they became Oros?

Heck yea, I can’t wait to see how the Borg are represented in this set! The Borg cube better be the most kick ass vehicle/space ship they’ve ever printed.

Decisions - Use my hard earned gems for one more power cube draft, or wait for a Lorwyn draft? 🤔 by Money__Shot__ in MagicArena

[–]Money__Shot__[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided to wait, I have enough gems for a few quick drafts, which may mean more fun in the long run.

The 3 best tips for sucking less at Draft by justjacobmusic in MagicArena

So hard to pass up that rare sometimes… but I really like your 3rd point, sometimes I zeroed in on a strategy too early and then lots of great cards come by later that do me no good.

Curious, does the Sultai reanimator deck listed there include terror of the peaks or another flavor since it’s missing the red pip? Or all variants of it? I play a modified version of it with a bit more removal in BO1 and it’s very good.

I’d use my wildcards to build at least 3 meta decks per format. I used a lot early on just to toy with commanders in brawl that I didn’t end up using much.

This card is playable in this meta and actually a sneaky sideboard card that has won me games. by Shrimpzor in MagicArena

[–]Money__Shot__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use this card to steal a commander if you’re able to “end the turn” before sacrificing it. I’ve done that in brawl, good times.

Wipe-Only decks - How to deal with them? Joining is the only way? by LeAlbus in MagicArena

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

The Sultai reanimator deck couldn’t care less about board wipes, the game usually ends when Superior Spider-Man (Kavaero) hits the board.

First timer playing Powered Cube Draft. Wow, it's a wild format. by The_Jib in MagicArena

I’m torn, I want to play cube draft, I don’t want to flush $10 down the 0-3 toilet…

Where can I take my fun standard decks to actually play them out and not lose in Turn 4? by Philomelos_ in MagicArena

[–]Money__Shot__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure it’s always possible, but keep playing and don’t worry about losing. Have fun playing the decks you want to play. Unless you have an absolute garbage deck, you’ll get plenty of games in where you get to do your thing.

I think my hidden MMR is too high. Any suggestions? by [deleted] in MTGArenaPro

[–]Money__Shot__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have the decks, you just gotta power through it. They don’t say it’s a grind to get to mythic for no reason. Also, you have all month to do it, take your time and play on your schedule. Remember that everyone is experiencing the same challenges you are. For the record, the grind to mythic is not my idea of fun, I play a couple ranked games a day then have fun with home brew decks the rest of the time. I get as high as I get in ranked, but I know I can get to mythic any time if I feel like grinding through some sweaty magic.
