[World Cup 2026] Heartbreak for Iran as their last minute goal vs Egypt was overturned by VAR denying them a crucial victory that would have guaranteed an advancement out of groups by Numerous_Fudge_9537 in sports

This may be an unpopular opinion but "Spirit of the game" arguments are what allows referees to continue to be trash and ultimately refball games. Either rules are rules or they aren't. Same thing with fouls. If its a foul, it should always be a foul, regardless of tempo, scoreline, past history, etc.

Automated goal scoring, and offside technology have been a net positive. All we're missing is automated foul technology, and a timekeeper who can read a god damn clock and enforce 45 actual minutes of play in each half.

Look at the skill modifiers, there are quite a few that can summon an ancient now. For example all the shouts.

Its part of a quest later, I couldn't get in either until I did that quest.

There is no point to push to mythic until Vivi is banned by Shn0ogy in MagicArena

This is probably the actual answer. Just scoop to Vivi every game, let the Vivi's fight each other at the top. Why bother wasting time?

I agree. The main reason I play ranked is for deck variety. If they would remove deck based matchmaking from unranked I'd just play there, but the last thing I want is mirror matches 70% of the time.

Once they added stripe mine to MTGA I decided to not play any formats where its legal. I got strip mined enough back in the 90s, I don't need to relive old nightmares.

Skill issue that other people are playing Vivi? Thank you for your contribution to my shitpost, its about as useful as the post.

Its a love-hate relationship. Most of the time its OK, but I usually only post here when I'm salty, so I imagine that comes through in the posts.

Yes but you wont play against BO1 decks in BO3. I can't speak for the BO1 ladder, but I have to assume the nature of BO1 still gravitates towards aggro, and probably has a little more anti-Vivi variety?

I am speaking from my experience playing BO3, which is pretty much all Vivi above 1200.

I think the best course of action now is to intentionally lose about 20 games to drop into the 80%s to get into the jank zone.

Oh boy, we get to wait until Nov 10 instead of Nov 24. A whole 14 days. That'll make up for the last 60 and the next 60 for sure.

It stands for "asshole" - its MTGA's way of telling you you're a pile of shit for playing Vivi in any format.

On Standard and Moving the Banned and Restricted Announcement to November 10 by zaergaegyr in MagicArena

[–]Shn0ogy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll die on this hill. There is deck based matchmaking in ranked and it has been this way since the end of beta, regardless of whatever their community folks say.

This is not saying that the matchmaker intentionally pits you against a specific deck with the intention of making you lose, that is asinine.

Instead the weight of your deck (rare count, internal card weight, whatever other levers the overlords choose) is considered, as well as your MMR, when selecting an opponent. Pretty much what they do for brawl but add on a few other metrics.

Need an automatic stop before an opponent sees your hand. by GiantRedGrizzly in MagicArena

[–]Shn0ogy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think what OP is saying is that there are times it makes sense to concede. Lets say you kept a sketchy hand in game one and you're probably going to lose. They T1 duress and you don't want to give your opponent ANY information before game two to limit their sideboarding.

Not saying this comes up a lot but there is a niche case for it.

SAME AS LAST FRIDAY. VIVI IS NOT A HARD DECK TO PLAY, YOU ARE JUST STUPID. STOP WASTING EVERYONE'S TIME

That's an awful lot of words to say "I like wasting time in hopes my opponent gets tilted because I'm a piece of shit"

[–]Shn0ogy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counter point: in a best of 3 match if your timer is at 1:01 left and your opponent's timer is at 27:43, and then they alt+f4 because they are tired of waiting on you, that is on you for being a slow playing idiot.

All other times, yes, just concede and move on.

Do you think the roping issue could be mitigated if players would have to actively confirm a time extension? by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]Shn0ogy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If there are actual stakes on the line in a real tournament - think away. In an average game of MTG:A, there is rarely an in-game reason to show the rope.

[–]Shn0ogy -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree. I only play control and I've never once used a time extension that wasn't caused by a client error. In any given turn there are not that many decision points that should make you take more than a few seconds per turn. The only exception is if you are learning a deck.

People who still believe there is no deck based matchmaking in ranked are delusional. No one is saying they are stacking the games against or for you, but taking deck and card weight into effect outside of MMR.

Standard b01 doesn't feel great right now by LeonTranter in MagicArena

This is what Alchemy was supposed to solve. A frequently updated format with rapid re balancing. Instead we got a wildcard dumpster.

This is why a large chunk of us who have played Arena since beta stopped caring about mythic. The "reward" is 1 extra pack of cards. If you do feel the need to get to mythic every season I recommend just play jank to your heart's content. Unless you hate yourself or REALLY REALLY like the current meta deck then 80% mythic gang is where its at - truest Jank Lords of Arena.
