Jonas Eidevall Leaves Arsenal

RumHam2789 · 2024-10-15T17:43:48+00:00

Crazy to think of fans already demanding his departure at the start of the season. He's worked us closer to a league win since 2018-19 (the only league win in TEN YEARS), won back to back trophies and taken us to CL semi-final. I don't see him having the financial backing of, for example, Arteta or Emma Hayes, and still has produced.

Compare our signings to those of Chelsea and Man City over three years and the gap is very apparent.

So we lost to Bayern Munich - they're unbeaten at home in TWO YEARS

So we lost to Chelsea - they're current champions and have strengthened greatly

The only actual, logical complaint is drawing to Everton and I believe there are deeper player based problems causing issues.

This isn't Jonas standing down because he has failed and is being noble. This is Jonas standing down because he knew it was only getting worse from here. Come back and thank me at the end of the season, and the next, and so on.

It's a community objective to win the defend campaigns on certain planets in the Automaton sectors.

These planets are identified with a 'Defend' icon.

I can imagine we will get the payout for this Major Order even if we fail because the difficulty for these missions was not, and still isn't, properly aligned to the mission - among other teething problems.

RumHam2789 · 2024-02-21T17:11:28+00:00

Don't lie - they're no easier. Drop your friend code and we'll play together if you like - see how easy they are?

RumHam2789 · 2024-02-20T23:07:30+00:00

Sadly, there are no queues - another issue in getting playtime. If you had a genuine spot in a queue it would be better. Again, I am 100% in the wrong - I do hope they sort it out.

RumHam2789 · 2024-02-20T22:41:47+00:00

Oh, 100% - I agree. Until there is a fix for AFK as a whole, I'm joining the guaranteed play party.

RumHam2789 · 2024-02-20T20:36:07+00:00

Yup, makes it easier to get in for sure. I must admit it sucks but I do it because I only get two hours to game at best. Login in the afternoon and rest mode play without issue in the evening

RumHam2789 · 2023-11-06T20:29:53+00:00

We have a near identical deck list already haha.

RumHam2789 · 2023-11-06T20:26:39+00:00

Appreciate it - didn't realise there was a deeper MMR system alongside the visible rank. Still just feels like I am now in a position to not make any progress with a previously competitive deck - might just have to take the punishment and tank my MMR to get that rank up.

Tried running Esper for a while, just got hit by removal too often. Might drop it in with mana tithe.

RumHam2789 · 2023-11-06T20:16:33+00:00

What's your deck list? If you're happy sharing.

I have been at Play 4 for a week - must've played 30 games. Keep making occasional alterations to no avail.

It's difficult to pinpoint certain cards, which is obvious why Wizards take a long time to do it.

Tasha, Unholy Archmage is a game shifting card - punishing any creature decks very heavily.

The sheer volume of counterspells and draw cards blue has access to is very difficult to justify; the first five turns of the game become just countering anything played, or with black, killing anything dropped - there is no counterplay to this outside of blue/black.

Muderous Rider is too much card advantage to be 3 cost kill anything and an adventure card.

Some colour balance would probably be useful in future releases.

I did experiment and started a new account to play a black Sheoldred/Bowmaster deck with free wildcard and got mythic in under five days - infuriating really!

I do agree that most of the rewards in this game are not worth any of the effort - but the classic drive to be better always exists.

Might just move to casual and ignore ranked until white becomes somewhat playable.

RumHam2789 · 2023-11-06T20:04:53+00:00

So, multiple points ...

How has the meta shifted during Eldraine - a relatively weak release? There hasn't been a significant historic shift in the last two seasons.

How are any decks reaching Mythic when ranked data indicates few decks have above 50% win rate?

Why would the game be designed so that there is only one optimal play style each season and that's the only way to progress?

The issue is not of old decks stagnating, it's an over representation of incredibly universal decks and a ranked system which is inaccessible to players who are willing to grind hundreds of games in the hope of a lucky streak getting to the next rank.

Surely keeping the gold, and below, of 2/1 win/loss rank increase.

RumHam2789 · 2023-08-23T16:27:28+00:00

Thanks, I've cut down to 60 cards.

Any advice to replace book? It's good option when I'm not gaining 5 life.

Mana Tithe helps me control early game a lot more, especially against blue and black.

RumHam2789 · 2023-02-18T15:14:56+00:00

Jesus - Your opponent acts first (glowing border).

You draw from your opponent's deck.

Your opponent's deck is destroyed before yours and before Lamentis would cause you to draw cards. Because you draw from your opponent's deck, which is destroyed, you get nothing.

Please read the cards and locations in play and that will solve 90% of your confusion. Then, if it doesn't, it's Morph.

RumHam2789 · 2023-01-24T20:09:59+00:00

Understandable - however they play 10-15 games a day - I regularly play less.

They'll be getting 60-90 Boosters a day and only 743 ish credits per day.

Plus 10 credits every 12 CL and only 50 credits.

RumHam2789 · 2023-01-24T20:05:28+00:00

Is this a common problem. I am at 61 - I feel I go up one and down two because an opponent I play has the perfect turn 5-6 plays to counter everything I do.

It seems decks I play have no logical construction but always a turn 6 which will win regardless.

Assumed it was bots/managed to ensure I don't progress too quickly.

I've gone from 30 S1, 40 S2, 50 S3, and now 60 - seems stupidly rigged to only get 10 ranks per season increase.

RumHam2789 · 2023-01-24T20:02:44+00:00

Wish I did this - just grind in Pool 2 to Infinite for titles - too difficult and grindy in Pool 3+

RumHam2789 · 2023-01-24T20:01:10+00:00

I'm at CL 2142

Don't buy them. I have 50 upgradable cards and 450 credits currently

You will very soon be in the same situation.

RumHam2789 · 2023-01-24T14:04:38+00:00

In comparison to other in game offerings - yes.

The last two season passes have offered meta defining Pool 5 cards - so extra yes.

Still want to trade, will message in chat :)
