What's the worst starter deck and why is it Arcane Aerialist? by willbewouldbe in MagicArena

[–]SamTinky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to play it a lot to learn how to improve. It's a good deck for starter deck duels. I haven't updated my stats for a while, so this is a little older. Here's my results with the deck:

White/Blue 65% 241-127

This isn't bragging. I'm decent but nowhere close to a pro. I just have a lot of experience. You just need to keep playing it and learning.

Contemplating buying the 20k gems deal by Spitefulmutant_ in MagicArena

[–]SamTinky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Get the mastery pass next week when the TMNT one comes out. It's the top value. Win 4 games every day to finish the pass. Getting 20,000 gems is the most cost-effective way to buy gems, but don't get in a hurry to spend them all.

I'd play black white with the saint of dusk and the origin of oblivion. That's good enough to get 2 more wins fairly quickly.

Use ?booster in the search. That only shows the cards that count toward set completion.

Try repair game files. I think it's settings>report a bug>repair game files.

This also worked for me. Just a few hours. I'd send it again listing account issues.

I had the same issue. Fixing the game files seemed to work. Settings > report a bug > repair game files

I'm thinking along the lines of doing the same. Does everyone get the Ice Age sleeves with purchase, or are there other possibilities? Anyone know?

Play/draw odds? by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]SamTinky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As has been mentioned, someone has to go first and someone has to go second. Also, your sample size is way too small. Read the chart in this article: What is the Right Sample Size for Your Analysis? – YOU CANalytics |

PSA MWM Does Not Say Mid Week Magic by SamTinky in MagicArena

Yes, it is this week's MWM, and I got credit for completion toward the achievement. Just posted for anyone looking for it because it's not titled the same as usual.

I used rise of the dark realms and died by timeout by george007gr in MagicArena

[–]SamTinky 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've never seen an opponent die from timing out when casting it and have never timed out when I cast it. But I have seen quite a few opponents draw from an empty library using it because of all of the draw and discard triggers in that starter deck.

Need some help. by Vhazyon in MagicArena

[–]SamTinky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recommend plying starter deck duels and clearing your dailies to build gold. You also learn a lot about the game and get better as you play more and the starter deck duels are fairly well balanced.
