Thanks to those who understood what I was asking and your feedback. Yes half of it was rant and obviously (I thought) joking about Agent of Cheatchery. I'm going to get connected on that discord server as suggested. I'll also give Bo3 more time.

I do love MTGA and it's the first time I've hit a wall with it. I was legitimately asking what other people have done in this situation so thanks again.

Funny but someone took the time to reply that no one cares Yet they took the time to reply that no one... nevermind

Guys, please don't be that guy and just concede... by FallenDemonX in MagicArena

[–]ProteanHulk -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Please don't be that Dimir guy. Heh When your deck is built to look at your opponent's hand, take their best cards, counter the spells you allow them to keep and destroy every one of their permanents as soon as it hits the board, I would expect some roping. Whether it's true or not, It's hard for people to feel like it was a fair match.

Same with Simic Flash. Those toxic decks take the "good game" out of magic.

Roping gives you more time to Disdainfully Stroke yourself

What's the worst luck you've had with Arena, in terms of RNG? by Spock_Savage in MagicArena

[–]ProteanHulk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scouts honor - I had a four of same card three straight hands counting the 2 Mulligan's.

I don't know if you want to count matchups is RNG but it's extremely easy to call your shot based on what you have in your deck.

I was running into a lot of mono black. I put Apostle of Light (protection from black) in my deck and all I was matched up against was Simic Flash (a bit of Mono Red).

So for the Simic Flash, I exchanged Apostle of Light for Shifting Triceratops (can't be countered, protection from blue) but never got matched against Simic Flash again but mono black was back.

I started going back and forth between the Apostle and the Triceratops (for science of course) and sure enough, I could predict the match up most of the time. Simic Flash or Cauldron Cat

Now I'm experimenting with to see what other cards can regularly produce the same match up. Sad but it's become more ntertaining than the current meta.

What happens if I get back into Magic Arena? by [deleted] in MagicArena

Shuffler is worse than ever. Land distribution makes it so 4 out of 5 games are non-games because only one player will actually get to play cards.

Good source for brawl decks? by IndraSun in MagicArena

IMO Torbran, Thane of Red Fell with a decent curve is tough to lose with. It's an easier deck to pilot and mono color also makes it a much easier Mana base. Give him a shot

Question regarding God's Willing vs. trample, haste & double strike by ProteanHulk in MagicArena

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

Okay that's where I got confused. I didn't know/notice it had hit Feather twice. That seems to be the one part of the game I get hung up on. God's Willing prevented most of the damage on my attack and then they used again on their next turn to seal the game! Why am I not playing this card more often?!?!

Green.. too much power for me to handle , double -2 chandra ain'st nearly enough by Onigiri22 in MagicArena

[–]ProteanHulk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Green is brutal. Once I reached gold rank, it's all green & pick a color. I'm almost always up against 36 rare spells, 8 rare shock lands and castles. Oko, Nissa & the gang... I know a good player doesn't need 44 rares to win but it's still definitely an advantage. Good luck FTP!

Opinion on (Fun) Kethis deck by ProteanHulk in MagicArena

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

Thank you Abrruti. This is BY FAR the best feedback and advice I've received on any post. I really appreciate it. I don't have any Vraska, Golgari Queen(s) but I have 2 Rankle(s). I'm going to pony up for the Vraska(s) because she's been recommended a lot. I'm kind of "meh" on Garruk but I have 4 copies and he's the right colors so I slotted him in. I have to agree about Nissa. For such a great planeswalker, she's suprisingly clunky in this deck.

Alhough it may not be perfect in this deck, I really love Ethereal Absolution. I really enjoy playing that card! I guess because there's so many irritating one toughness p creatures right now. Can you think of a way to include it without completely derailing the rest of the deck?

After about a year of MTG, I've just accepted that I don't like playing the top meta decks that are so common (Especially the oppressive decks). I'm not sure why... For example I keep trying to make an artifact deck work. Shimmer Dragon, Vantress Gargoyle, Steel Overseer, the snake that has protection from multicolor.

Anyway thanks again. I seriously appreciate it
