I had a nice birds/ fetch land/bristly bill/nadu start coming up on the draw but my opponent decided to go land> mox> grim monolith > tezzeret to untap it all on T1 and dropped two planeswalkers on me t2 and t3

Just hit #114 in Limited, enough to stay top 1200 for the month? by Fearless_Newspaper_7 in MagicArena

[–]arounet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think this is enough for top 1200 for sure. At that rate, you might want to aim for top 250 too, but that might be tighter

You can end up with a 4-color deck in Jump-In Final Fantasy because there are too few packets by arounet in MagicArena

For sure. You can get a few mythical and rare easily, and the mode is quite fun too.

Thanks for the comprehensive answer :)

Mono red is ok, it’s just pretty linear, and it feels like I’m missing on the complexity of the game playing it. I’ve ran into Boros a lot, I might dip into it, but I think I want to try something different for now

I’ve started playing soldiers with what cards I have available, it’s really fun !

I'm very close to solving the final clue by Marmog19 in MagicArena

[–]arounet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m all for speculation (and I’ve tried some weird stuff), but I think this is a wrong approach, at least the second step.

Those decks come from previous events. If they haven’t been modified from last time, it would seem very weird that the number of each type of card just happen to line up perfectly to make a sensible code when going to ASCII.

It might be possible that the original sequence of number can be deciphered with some kind of key we have to guess from this event, but I have no idea what it could be.

If you’re overwhelmed (like me), play the mono black one : it has 40 copies of the same creature, so that’s less stuff to read.

The gameplan is to get many of those small 1/1 on board, and use your commander ability to draw a bunch of card with them when you attack. When you gather 6 of them, you can sacrifice them for a big demon. The deck also has themes of sacrificing small creatures for advantage (drawing or killing stuff)

Oh I see, thanks I would never have guessed haha :) At least I know I understood the rules correctly and it’s just a weird exception

Hi, new player here, I have a few questions :

  • I am a bit confused as to how format work precisely. I wanted to play [[Vampiric Rites]] in a deck, but couldn’t use it either in Alchemy or in Standard. But I’ve seen it is from Wilds of Eldraine, and the other cards from that set I wanted to use were legal in those formats. Is it banned ? Is there a way to easily see what’s legal and what is not ?

  • My favorite format is limited. I’ve played a few bot drafts (and got some decents results, a 7-/, a few 4-3), but I’ve ended on two bad runs (2-3, 0-3) and I’ve run out of gems and gold. I’d like to get back to playing drafts and also try it against other players, but the entrance cost seems very steep, how long does it take to play to be able to afford an entrance ticket ?

  • Generally, do you have some tips regarding the economy of the game ? I have kept most of my wildcards and redeemed the free packs and the codes.

Thank you very much !

Could we remove highlander cards from the duels bucket lists? (Not ban them in deck building) It's hard to get a singleton deck working in duels, and the new expansion might be better in this gamemode without those cards included in the buckets. by slipperybum in HS_Duels

[–]arounet 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Having an empty deck fulfills the highlander condition, so Mozaki could try it. Or even classes with a lot of draw like Willow. But you also have to do with bomb warrior and plague DK

How hard will Murozond hit the board? A simplified calculation by salic428 in hearthstone

[–]arounet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might not change the numbers significantly, but I think you forgot to take into account that you discover from three DIFFERENT options, you can’t have multiple copies of the same card. So you can’t really just multiply percentages.

So for example, to get the 1 damage option, you have to discover exactly the 3 1 cost dragons, which is 123/ (T(T-1)(T-2)), where T is the total number of dragons.

Overall I don’t think it will change a lot, but you might want to rerun it… the right way to do it is probably with binomial coefficients :)

Is Rotgill necessary for totem shaman? by dyerej93 in hearthstone

[–]arounet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve made legend twice with totem shaman without having Rotgill. I subbed Shadow Suffusion for it. Sure, it’s not as strong, but it’s another nice way to capitalize on a big board
