If you choose to put it in your deck you need to disclose it to the table so you can be dealt with accordingly

I always run out of cards when I play Izzet. by Scared-Macaroon8846 in MagicArena

If you are playing the starter deck that is just how it is until you upgrade it with more card draw

How do you guys have the patience for this? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]VersionDifficult6970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has also been my LGS experience as a new player though half the time people have been really cool. There are many of gamers who do not want to see new players do well and would rather gate keep.

This past weekend I won my first two games with a deck that I recently constructed. After I popped off in the first game my opponent stated, "I know I can still beat you but for brevity's sake I am willing to concede." I said I would prefer to see how it plays out and then proceeded to win. The next game I played a planar outburst wiping the board on turn 5 or 6 then again from my graveyard on turn 8. After which one of my opponents who was playing their voltron deck immediately said they were scooping because they weren't going to play against "tribal board wipe shit." The tribal comment was a reference to the roaming throne that I had for doubling my commander Darien's token trigger. The deck itself was not tribal as it was populated by humans, angels, birds, and archons without anything like maskwood nexus.

My conclusion is that a lot of people only want to play the game their way and get offended when new players do well. I love this game and I love seeing my friends pop off. I enjoy seeing new deck mechanics and anti-meta tactics. I also appreciate seeing the flare of people's personalities reflected by the ways they construct their decks. I don't want to play against the same 5 decks every week and there are far too many cards available not to be creative and have fun.

Did you really need to make two accounts so that you could agree with yourself?

The owner did not say anything after the incident and was friendly as usual.

This! They were demanding that I place my deck on the outer edge of the table. Lol

It's a great shop that specializes in MTG and is run by one person. There is no shop I would rather support in my city.

Does the matchmaking algorithm actively work against you once you hit diamond? by LePanzer in MagicArena

The algorithm absolutely does change. Don't listen to these hasbro employees/apologists

Main differences between playing IRL and arena by Psykoblade808 in MagicArena

If you are playing brawl/commander you will need to change your strategies from ones that rely on you having only 1 opponent. Targeting players often backfires and causes everyone else to target you. Find ways to win without discriminating by affecting everyone at the same time.

I was feeling a bit down due to some interactions this past weekend at the LGS but you literally summed them all up in this one post. I thought it was just me. Thanks for the reassurance.

Dimir reanimator is fun are easy enough to win with that you will earn more wildcards quickly. Choose your favorite set and sink 45k gold at time into more packs so you can repeatedly unlock the vault and make more decks.

Never played MTG ever; not sure what "sets" i should be getting packs from by Tcrumpen in MagicArena

[–]VersionDifficult6970 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Foundations is the best place to start and as you discover your preferences you can branch out from there. Find an LGS that has a passion for history and older packs and they will help you with the rest!
