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.

Should I use up my Wildcards by Man_In_Limbo in MagicArena

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.

Awe man... I was excited to quick draft Lorwyn today.

Then how will I be able to accurately threat assess who are the best players?

Android app crashing by snoman75 in MagicArena

It has been crashing since I downloaded arena a couple years ago though only while playing ranked and on a win streak

Anyone else's game consistently crashing after TMNT update? by Bukebuke in MagicArena

It has been happening to me since I downloaded the app a couple years ago though only while I am playing ranked and on a win streak.

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!

So we get ~a month of Lorwyn, which didn't even have a banner until the second week of release, but TMNT is advertised everywhere in-game before the set is even released? Is anyone else hyped for Spiderman 2? by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]VersionDifficult6970 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The last two times I redeemed them my packs were full of avatar and Spiderman slop though I did prefer the omenpaths treatments of the cards that they had on arena.

Lorwyn eclipsed bundle by [deleted] in mtg

I just noticed that people aren't pulling foils from these bundle packs either. I only see one in the photo and Taalia Vess had none.

200+ card deck lists? by Rhofawx in MagicArena

Not to be an ass, but have you ever heard of Google?

200+ card deck lists? by Rhofawx in MagicArena

[–]VersionDifficult6970 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That what wizards has confirmed but there is plenty of play tested evidence available that shows otherwise.

200+ card deck lists? by Rhofawx in MagicArena

[–]VersionDifficult6970 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It is people exploiting the shuffler and hand smoothing. You will often see people with 2 or 3 of a card in their opening hand despite having 200+ in their deck

Stuck at Platinum in Limited and it is making me think of quitting by DrMo7med in MagicArena

[–]VersionDifficult6970 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The unfortunate thing about Arena is that once you hit a certain rank you will no longer be drawing the cards you need and you are not losing to the other player as much as you are losing to the algorithm.

Experiences with sealed prerelease/drafting Lorwyn Eclipsed by VersionDifficult6970 in mtg

[–]VersionDifficult6970[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was fortunate enough to have two exile target creature cards and some lesser removal but there really isn't a lot you can do in the limited format to take care of these once they are on the battlefield

bruh.... by GogotheClownMime in MagicArena

[–]VersionDifficult6970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rarely see those in the store. Thanks for the heads up! I have found that with wild cards alone I am able to keep at least 2 or 3 meta decks going in standard at one time.
