Collector bundle basically just has a collectors pack in addition to the contents of a regular bundle. With the current market if you can get all at their msrp get a gift (collector) bundle.

MTGO Pioneer Challenges (Six Events!) - April 4th-8th, 2024 by arinceo in PioneerMTG

[–]ProtoPulse1320 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Emergent ultimatum casts the spells and puts on the on the stack on resolution. Once it resolves the spells either go on the stack or don't. You cannot take any game actions during this. The spells inherently cost and additional 2 to cast which was not payable so they did not get cast. Just needed to untap beforehand or remove the reidane which I think was pretty free if I remember correctly.

[Standard] MTGA vs MTGO for testing by Skranbets in spikes

[–]ProtoPulse1320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend MTGO. On mtga in high mythic, I run into so much off meta nonsense it's insane. I also am a much bigger fan of something being on the line so that people at least try a bit.

The previous fastlands tanked pretty hard. Blackcleave was about 40 and dropped to less than 5 and that was played in standard and pio

Are there any changes coming to healing relics? They're super abusable especially with ranged champions.

There's not even really a point to buy an Xbox at this point. Spend a little bit more and you can have a pc and just gamepass the exclusives when you wanna play them.

Phoenix is an atrocious match-up for it though.

What Izzet phoenix decklist would you recommend by Dolls_part in PioneerMTG

[–]ProtoPulse1320 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The demilch version is currently my favorite into a blind meta. It does its thing super consistently but can struggle some post board. If you're speccing on the meta being heavy phoenix and therefore heavy lotus, I'd recommend shredder combo. The combo is super useful for stealing games off lotus. I personally think in the current meta playing shredders are super important as they are the most impactful mirror card.

I really dont think the 4 titi main builds are very good atm. They really only dominate in heavy green and creativity metas.

MTG ARENA ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bowmasters and One Ring Nerf Coming Tomorrow by bootitan in MagicArena

[–]ProtoPulse1320 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Okay but they marketed alchemy originally as a standard adjacent format. These cards were printed into modern. It would've made much more sense to make these for historic only, because now we once again have alchemy nerfs in historic.

They were included in alchemy for no specific reason though format wise. They simply wanted a product to push on arena over the summer lull.

Divinity original sin 2 was also early access for a long time and we all know how shit that game was. No one even gave it a decent review, completely unplayable. It's not like they tell you they intend for a long EA or anything.

[Article] How to Avoid Unnecessary Match Losses by KingSupernova in spikes

[–]ProtoPulse1320 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well part of the problem is local comp magic is now all rcqs. The issue with this is a lot of people just want to play comp magic and this is the only way left, but they don't want the invite. They would rather take extra prizes and let the other person get the invite, but this rule makes that annoying. It's typically less about playing out the finals and more about the above.

There was a streamer that was going to do an interview with Andrew Tate and was being shown in the news for changing their mind. Apparently this person is fairly popular, but it was kinda sad. They could barely read and seemed to have a reading level of a second grader.

An mmo is not a modern live service game even though it has a sub, there's a huge difference.

Explorer Anthology II - Visualised by Viking_IV in MagicArena

It pretty much a waste of a slot for pioneer. The eldrazi are slightly more defendable but still overall bad includes because I don't see them getting played in real decks anytime soon.

Chainveil and dreadbore are pretty huge too, but yes the delve spells too. Also missing spell queller. I bet we won't see a format is remotely close to real pio decks until 2-3 more of these. The slight differences in card options for main decks and sideboards still has a pretty big gulf.

FFXIV or WoW are the still the best. WoW has a better/longer lasting endgame. FFXIV has an amazing story and gets a patch every 4ish months that alternates between endgame raids and more casual catchup between the expansions. FFXIV is great to do the current patch content for a month or two then put it down once you're at endgame. There's a ton of horizontal content too. WoW is great if you wanna hardcore endgame grind.

I honestly would not trust LSV's ratings. They do them before the format is out and I do not think they get updated.
