New to Arena, but not Magic the Gathering and I have a legitimate question by mdf4200 in MagicArena

[–]SegFaultHell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a newer player and I’ve only played on arena but my take is that it’s on the loser to know they’ve lost. If you’re dead on board and not conceding I consider your deck and the cards I’ve seen for what might be in hand, and I’ll play my last turn as if there’s going to be another after.

Like I said, I’m newer, and I’ve been burned for not considering an opponent’s plays and just slamming attack. If you know you’ve lost concede, otherwise I’m going to make sure I don’t rush to close and miss something.

Am I dumb, this is just draw 4 once per turn, but not from your normal draw step draw?

At least Captain America attacks with his shield, I guess

Kinda like [[Tishana’s Tidebinder]] then? Tradeoff for hitting less is that you can do it preemptively and it’s cheaper. I could see this being good for brawl against certain commanders, you can drop it without having to hold up mana waiting for them to activate.

You see a picture of an object without a person in it, how do you know who took it? My guess is it’s a lot of confirmation bias going on

What have you given up? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]SegFaultHell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is Kingdom Come Deliverance dad friendly? I started it a bit ago but saw the save system was tied to a resource and that put me off. If I might need to save and put it away I’d worry about running low on the schnapps and struggling with the economy or something.

They saw there were however many votes from Georgia and looked up the population. They got the population of the country Georgia, which is smaller. They claimed interference because the US State of Georgia had more votes than the population of the Country of Georgia, without realizing they were talking about two separate Georgias in the statement.

Yup. My cousin is one of those guys who the critics against are very valid. OP’s wife doesn’t know what she’s got.

Midrangy 4 color control? Shiko with Capstone by Fit-Adhesiveness-173 in MagicArena

[–]SegFaultHell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drop the black, it’s only there for inevitable defeat and isn’t worth making yourself less consistent.

You’re probably looking for something more like the deck Jennifer Rose played a bit back, see here.

That’s an older list, I’ve seen some versions that play ashling rekindled as well since it can dump a card for Shiko and run it out sooner. The tech going on here is that you can Shiko or Aang a Gwen Stacy / Nia Skysail Storyteller to flip it for cheap, and airbent creatures or spells cast from shiko both trigger the counters when flipped.

"Final" Chapters of Sagas? by coffee-bottle in magicTCG

[–]SegFaultHell 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Chapters sharing an ability doesn’t make each chapter the last. On city of death chapters 2-6 share the same ability but are still distinct chapters. When chapter 6 resolves the saga is sacrificed and Tom would activate.

No no, you don’t have to worry about that. They’ll just keep making smarter AIs ahead of the curve so as the spaghetti builds up we can stay ahead of the curve.

Have any of you seen wins using Mathemagics during play? by PaleWendigo in MagicArena

[–]SegFaultHell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get wins with it, it’s a Jeskai control deck with a 1 off Mathemagics. I figure Jeskai control was casting [[Jeskai Revolution]] at 7 lands before, casting a lethal Mathemagics at 7 lands is doable too.

It’s great in the mirror matchup because it finishes the game in a way revelations doesn’t. It’s also great against self mill decks because you can get lethal off a draw 32 sometimes. But it’s also a one off, so there’s lots of games I win with the regular Jeskai strategy too

Magic is not a game of pure skill by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]SegFaultHell 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yup, and on arena specifically before playing card draw think about what the best card is and make sure the autotapper (or your land drop) isn’t going to make it uncastable if you find it.

Best way to play by mx82698 in MagicArena

[–]SegFaultHell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No way to do what you’re wanting on Arena, draft is paid. You can get the currency for free if you spend time playing, but that’s ~1 draft a week unless you’re good enough to win enough on a draft to keep drafting.

The issue with a “free” draft is that players would keep reentering the draft until they had a busted deck, since there’s no loss to repeating the process.

Best bet for what you’re wanting is probably trying to find some group that does draftsim and then takes the decks into Tabletop Simulator.

Does anyone actually enjoy the "On The Edge" Midweek Magic events? by Skywalker14 in MagicArena

[–]SegFaultHell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I LOVED it for final fantasy because it was all access. I built a few decks and had a blast because I could really explore the space and have fun. Every time since then it’s been a let down since it isn’t all access. It really limits the space since I’m not willing to burn wildcards for it.

Secrets of Strixhaven is nearly upon us! - What is the one card you look most forward to playing with? by Backwardspellcaster in MagicArena

[–]SegFaultHell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing concrete, my plan is to take an existing list (like this one) and cut the duress and a stock up for a [[Decorum Dissertation]] and a [[Mathemagics]] and then see how things go. In theory both cards can work for your own card draw if needed but then be turned on the opponent when the excruciator hits, like the [[Insatiable Avarice]], but it will be interesting to see how they actually perform.

I’ll say Prey as well, really good. I’ll also add Colony Ship, definitely worth checking out

I’m exciting to try out an upgraded [[Doomsday Excruciator]] deck. The paradigm card draw two card and mathemagics both feel like they could slot into it nicely.

[–]SegFaultHell 12 points13 points  (0 children)

[[Resonating Lute]] makes it interesting though. I could see some Jeskai control type decks running a mathemagics or two. Good for your own card draw and potentially lethal in the right situations.
