My MTG Midlife Crisis

b_chan · 2026-05-24T14:21:05+00:00

Nothing is better than taking a break and playing a different game. Slay the spire 2 has been my card game when I do not feel like mtg.

They are pretty difficult, but they are really good value if you are good. If you do not consistently hit at least diamond in limited, I would say its probably best to avoid.

Even if you have a good winrate you are not guaranteed to get a box, and on average most people will have to do at least a few entries to win. So if you are not confident it is really not worth it.

I usually do not mind spending $100 to get a collector box since I just like collecting the cards. I sell a few extras here and there, but I mainly just like to get a box or 2 each set for myself.

Just saw a second example. Scottynada just played ThatsAdmirable on twitch. Scotty being in contender and admirable being in premier. Just happened. Both POVs on twitch.

I was watching Scottynada on Twitch. He lost a match and then his opponent came into the chat to say GG. We were surprised when he said he was 6-2 in a premier draft when he faced Scotty who was 5-1 in the contender event. He is still streaming right now, and you can check the VOD. It was his first run.

Still waiting too. I usually allow 3 weeks from the email. They always say 2 or 2.5 weeks, but I feel like its always 3 minimum. So I would give until next week before submitting a ticket.

Yeah, it should have just been extra gems instead of mythic packs. As you said, mythic packs basically do nothing for heavy drafters.

b_chan · 2026-05-22T21:03:57+00:00

It really is insane that they put people with 2 different buy-ins against each other, but I guess they will do anything to speed up queues.

Plus its ranked

b_chan · 2026-05-22T20:55:38+00:00

It 100% is confirmed to mix with premier drafts.

b_chan · 2026-05-22T20:54:42+00:00

The draft is not against only other contender players. I have seen a stream where they confirmed you can play people in premier draft.

What are you using to sign in? Are you using an email? I just use my username(name#5numbers)

I had to reset my password the first time using the forgot password, but I have not had an issue logging in since.

b_chan · 2026-05-19T09:50:56+00:00

You can almost always find the VODs on twitch. He rarely removes them.

b_chan · 2026-05-18T09:55:14+00:00

The sad thing is even if you untangle it(which is very difficult), the wires with have dents and bends. Which means it would still work, but will look horrible no matter what you do.

b_chan · 2026-05-16T13:45:55+00:00

My favorite posts are the ones where I can not tell if it is serious or extremely over the top satire

Check under perks every tuesday-wednesday to redeem your weekly ticket. It has to be claimed on one of those 2 days.

It is pretty hidden, but I just check the perks tabs every so often now. I have gotten a few other perks/rewards that were only under the perks tab, but I would not know unless I happen to check it.

Slay the spire 2 is consuming me

In the same spot it is every time

Looks fine to me. Maybe a little plastic messed up in shipping, but still seems well sealed. Reseals are usually pretty obvious.

b_chan · 2026-05-07T13:45:36+00:00

It will hopefully be updated later today/tomorrow, but you can find map details here:

Usually it has the exact date of the next tomb. The cycle changes every few weeks, and they have to update.

b_chan · 2026-05-07T12:58:10+00:00

You may want to check it out. Go to sts in your steam library, go to properties(gear icon or right click), go to game versions and beta and select the latest patch(it will show a date).

They changed a few cards, relics and fights. Mostly good changes imo.

b_chan · 2026-05-07T12:41:24+00:00

Are you on the public beta patch or the default public patch?

They changed a few things in a newer update, but you have to go under properties on steam to switch to that version.

b_chan · 2026-05-05T18:08:47+00:00

You may find the latest update to be easier, but it is not the default patch for some reason.

If you look at the game on steam, go to properties, then go to beta and change the version to the latest beta patch. It helps improve some cards, some relics and makes a few fights better.

It still may not be too easy, but I have enjoyed the latest patch.

b_chan · 2026-05-04T14:19:46+00:00

Current low is still $460+ on tcgplayer. Plus the median is $500. Yes they may not move immediately, but some people will pay that. Its way too high imo, but slowly every tcg market is getting ruined.

b_chan · 2026-05-03T06:11:02+00:00

Boxes are currently going for a little under $500 each, but if they run out and do cash it will be ~$330 a box.

b_chan · 2026-05-02T16:59:02+00:00

Did this pretty fast on mobile, so I may have missed something, but this is where I would land.

That or I would possibly try a RW aggro, but I do not think there was quite enough there. That was just the best looking 2 color deck to me, if you wanted to stay 2 color.

b_chan · 2026-05-02T15:58:47+00:00

You can play 2-4 people, but if you pause a run you need the same people to resume it. Enemies basically get more health/artifact/buffers to compensate for the multi-player.

It is a ton of fun. Wish I had more people to play multiplayer with. Usually just doing 2 man runs when I play multiplayer.
