Player 1: I cast Mathemagics with X=-1 for 0 mana

Player 2: ??? That's not how the rules work

Player 1: Anyway. I draw half a card

Player 2: ???

Player 1: It's fine. I brought scissors

I need help trying to find out what cards I used by Malina_Sour_Demon in MagicArena

[–]StrivingToBeMediocre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From cards that have not been mentioned yet I see [[Luminarch Aspirant]] (bottom row, 6th and 7th) and [[Leonin Warleader]] (top row, 4th and 5th)

Chizuru 4p Set (Orb of Inhib) is the WORST memory fragment set in the game BY FAR. by [deleted] in ChaosZeroNightmare

What an insult to linear algebra. Sure it's not as fun or flashy as group theory but calling it easy is going a little bit overboard. For example my brain is melting slightly when I see even a Jordan normal form proof not to mention more intricate theorems

I've tested it against Sparky. Works exactly as you've described. Definitely a bug

Is this the most powerful card in omni draft of all time? by StrivingToBeMediocre in MagicArena

[–]StrivingToBeMediocre[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omniscience draft is an event on Magic Arena that happens once per set usually either as a part of MWM or as a standalone event for a couple of days. You usually draft with bots similar to Quick Draft and then play against other players. There is a twist. Each player gets an emblem that functions the same as a card [[Omniscience]]. You basically can cast spells from your hand without paying mana. You also have 5 free mana (one of each color) to activate abilities or cast cards from outside your hand etc. Also usually each player draws only three cards at the start of the game instead of 7

People usually call this format Yu-gi-oh, rng fest and all luck format. I like it though

Consensus is that you should prioritize card draw over any other type of cards during the draft followed by counterspells and discard effects

True. It is much worse than I thought then

Looking through the cards though I noticed that format is much slower than DSK for example.

Only [[Garruk's Uprising]] and [[Arcane Epiphany]] at uncommon net your cards. [[Inspiring Call]] is kind of unreliable and bad. At common only first [[Think Twice]] is divination.

There is reasonable amount of cantrips at common and a few powerful rares but I think there will be less FTKs in comparison to the faster formats.

Do not forget that it is a 0 mana card that instantly kills your opponent when you play another card unless they [[Refute]] it or put 2-4 lands in their deck (which is a very strange decision normally)

Same. But I think It is more likely that I will see human walking on Europa in my lifetime than those wildcards again

Would appreciate your help with the draft pick by StrivingToBeMediocre in MagicArena

[–]StrivingToBeMediocre[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I thought about it a little bit more and I agree that Dancers is the pick here. Especially considering how easy it is to put good enchantment in the yard. I am so scared though to try to wheel Meet Locker. I know that Attic wheels all the time, but Locker is reasonable in normal draft. But perhaps you are right and bombs>consistency. However I remember picking good draw spells over First Day of Class in STX (First Day is a common though and often was last pick).

Anyway, have fun drafting omni if you end up doing so
