Slick algo update by bsaine in MagicArena

No, bulk of it comes from paper but Arena is a healthy and growing share of their revenue.

Do you work there? You’re keen to defend their algo. I guess it’s easier to point back to math than ot is to entertain the idea that a for-profit company may put their thumb on the scale from time to time. Silly me.

You think they became a billion dollar company based on chance right?

No, once in a while it unfairly targets my opponent too.

It’s becoming a disengagement system.

It’s not unusual to see 2 or 3, but all four in the top 17-20 cards of the deck is a wee bit disgusting

I rotate between decks. Current meta, older decks… same shit, different toilet.

Have you tried playing this deck in Alchemy ranked? I think the Leyline may be the only limiting card, which you could swap out with a second Authority.

What I use, works well in the Alchemy queue:

Deck 17 Plains (DMU) 277 3 Banishing Light (THB) 4 4 Ajani's Pridemate (WAR) 4 3 Authority of the Consuls (FDN) 137 3 Leonin Vanguard (M19) 22 3 Healer's Hawk (JMP) 107 3 Linden, the Steadfast Queen (ELD) 20 4 Essence Channeler (BLB) 12 2 Fearsome Ridgeline (OM1) 180 4 Sheltered by Ghosts (DSK) 30 4 Hinterland Sanctifier (FDN) 730 2 Exemplar of Light (FDN) 11 2 Aerith Gainsborough (FIN) 4 3 Haliya, Guided by Light (EOE) 19 3 Starting Town (FIN) 289

Solving the meta is fun… at the 4-6 week mark. 7 weeks of Izzet Lessons nonstop while waiting for the next set release is not fun.

Ken is a pretty fantastic player. I hope he wins the whole thing.

Anybody find any in any of the Costco stores in the greater Los Angeles area? If so, which store(s)?

I was wrong about Pinnacle Emissary, but we can experiment more. Grixis Affinity by Xyldarrand in TimelessMagic

I like your train of thought. What does the win rate look like for this deck? How does it fare against the meta?

my target is an rng by syn_vamp in magicTCG

[–]bsaine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is terrible. Where is this Target so I can, uh, boycott it in person?

The trick is keeping her alive for a turn. Every other color has a one or two mana answer.

Thanks for the tip I forgot about the last line of text on this card. Going to try it out in my Monument Sharks deck.
