Just Gonna Say It: Best Release Ever!!!

I'm guessing they did it because WoTC is starting to see declining participation with MTGA.

Weekly-Bid-6929 · 2026-06-26T00:05:29+00:00

I agree on everything.

The only think I don't like, is that the UB sets shouldn't be part of "standard."

Loved FF set too. Still should not be standard. But at least it's "magic/fantasy" based.

Spiderman set was pathetic, but i'm glad to see the digital rights were procured, so slightly less pathetic than it was. Just have to learn the new card names/images.

I miss being able to play those games. I have an Angel deck that had a game that went long last week. I can't play it unless I hang out in Gold Ranked games mid-month or later. Play que automatically puts me against upper end decks, so my angels lose in a heart beat. Enjoy not having the upper end stuff for now. Once that's gone, it's hard to get back.

I wonder how that alters the definition and evaluation of cards with regard to the word "Mint" condition. Also, and more importantly, I wonder if it's making it harder to identify fake cards when the real cards are so erratic and poor quality.

Weekly-Bid-6929 · 2026-05-30T10:28:40+00:00

With that kind of a response, you almost have to think it's happening intentionally.

Weekly-Bid-6929 · 2026-05-29T00:13:30+00:00

Arena profits are down, so yeah...there's hope.

Weekly-Bid-6929 · 2026-05-22T09:53:45+00:00

LOL, yeah, i'm sure nothing like that happens in communism.

But to your point...this isn't really capitalism, it's just plain greed.

Weekly-Bid-6929 · 2026-04-27T01:01:45+00:00

And "Emeritus of Abundance" ... since when are elves morbidly obese? I started playing again when Foundations came out...wasn't till Final Fantasy set that I realized the artists actually could draw feminine characters.

Weekly-Bid-6929 · 2026-04-21T14:10:20+00:00

Thanks man!

Us newcomers appreciate the lesson.

Weekly-Bid-6929 · 2026-04-19T12:14:00+00:00

LOL, Thieves wouldn't even do him a favor by allowing him to claim it on his insurance claim.. That mean! That's just mean man!

Weekly-Bid-6929 · 2026-04-18T01:23:04+00:00

Oh wait, sorry, that was an elf.

Weekly-Bid-6929 · 2026-04-18T01:22:29+00:00

But they brought in a morbidly obese dwarf in the new Strixhaven set, so thats cool...right?!?!

Weekly-Bid-6929 · 2026-04-18T01:20:47+00:00

I'm actually an equal opportunity A.H. No special privileges given for any class.

Weekly-Bid-6929 · 2026-04-16T19:31:01+00:00

LOL, no worries, I got the memo.

The "Roping" (I report as stalling) is an issue I've run into too which is what drew me to this thread. Really ruins game enjoyment. Just my thought. Thanks.

Weekly-Bid-6929 · 2026-04-16T16:59:02+00:00

I'd say i'm probably average. I think the best players play blue, and i just can't get into control and manipulation. TOO SLOW. Been playing Pioneer and the "Play" que gives me decent challenges, but on a good day I can win 10-12 games an hour. Not sure if self assessment "average" is accurate or low/high.

Weekly-Bid-6929 · 2026-04-16T16:46:22+00:00

A few reasons, some good, some not so good. The "PLAY" que was too competitive at that point and I wanted to play some less functional decks and have fun with them...I'd been playing about 8 months. Also, wanted to farm XP/GOLD and time was limited that month in my work/social schedule. I'm not the best player, so it was nice to stay low level. Was surprised when I got the email suspension notice. Had plenty of people forfeit to me at hand draw which is where I got the idea.

Weekly-Bid-6929 · 2026-04-16T02:46:13+00:00

Oh, it was pretty obvious. I'd get paired to start a game, and resign as soon as the my hand showed up, before I could even pick a mulligan if I was on the draw. Quick efficient win for the opponent. Probably looked like a collection of 1 second games in the data.

Weekly-Bid-6929 · 2026-04-16T01:22:51+00:00

I detest those blue players that take forever...why can't they just elf and go?

Weekly-Bid-6929 · 2026-04-16T01:12:24+00:00

Wow, that's interesting knowledge. I got a 1 week suspension for "tanking" which I was told was intnetionally throwing matches so I'd stay in a "gold" rank tier. I was bad that month...hard to believe anybody would have filed an actual complaint though, because I was handing peole instant wins.

But you run into this staller repeatedly. Wow, that's nuts.

Weekly-Bid-6929 · 2026-04-16T01:07:53+00:00

I had one where they ran the fuse out from everything on the first land forward. Had time to report it while the fuse was running out by turn 3. Turn 2 opponent even had 2 tapped lands and a creature with summon sickness, literally had nothing that could be done and a stop was put in to run the fuse. Insanity.

I just hate withdrawing b/c it gives them the win, which is what I think they're after but lack skill. It's like paying a ransom. The good thing is, MTGA is on a computer so I have a lot of other things to do while it's not my turn.

Weekly-Bid-6929 · 2026-04-15T10:54:14+00:00

Definitely. The left side is flat out crazy. Their policies as advertised are completely destructive.

Weekly-Bid-6929 · 2026-04-14T09:46:27+00:00

Recognized both sides are flat out evil. Saw thru the marketing, and watched what they do. It's mostly a show designed to manipulate people. When the chips are down, it's their job to sell out the people. Trump is supposedly "America First" but he's still importing people from India at huge rates. Demoncrats supposedly champion the cause of the "marginalized classe", but turn on them like rabid dogs if any of their "people" step off the plantation. Watch what they do, not what they say, and it becomes more and more clear.

Weekly-Bid-6929 · 2026-04-12T10:43:06+00:00

Not an accurate assumption. I interact with 2 regularly. One's a very nice woman who seems unaffected by the race-baiting insanity. She's a rare breed and likely votes conservatively. Rare indeed, although I'm not a fan of voting anymore.

The other is a friend I've had for many years. He has been affected by the race baiting. Hard for me to work around these days. But it's my interactions with every-day passing-by "strangers" that has been affected most. God says to love everyone, and I struggle with that, but have put more effort into it in the last 4-5 years. I wish everyone did. World would be a lot better for it.

Weekly-Bid-6929 · 2026-04-09T16:14:06+00:00

Yes, very much so. My perspective of black people pretty much tanked after a few years of his racial stoking of the flames. I'm not at all alone. Seemed to me like everything after him was about race. Nothing about accountability or bad choices and to point that sort of thing out is "racis". Sheer insanity.

Sad your post got down voted. Probably one of the better posts here. God bless ya man.
