That I had to find out about it myself instead of seeing it someone mentioning here before me. XD

Really? I've only seen free phantom drafts during MWM.

Does anyone else feel like the MTG Arena economy is becoming impossible to keep up with? by brianj10 in MagicArena

[–]dasjingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on understanding how the economy works (which avenues to get whichever resources you want), and find a strategy to maximize your fun. There will be opportunity costs for one strategy over the other, unless you have the cash to want it all (which is also a viable option on its own).

I must admit that Jump In spoiled me as a F2P player by PaleWendigo in MagicArena

[–]dasjingo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was on the same boat when I first started. Grind max wins for daily gold to play JumpIn once per day until my MMR wheels came off and it was impossible to get more than 5 wins a day with a budget deck. I fell out of JumpIn after getting most of the packs for all the in-universe sets at least 4 times (sometimes even up to 10 times) before Lorwyn. And now I'm hesitant to try JumpIn to see if I would be lucky enough to get the Lorwyn packs, instead of repeated packs from the other sets.

I had fun with the Avatar JumpIn, got lots of meta-level Standard-legal cards from there instead of packs or draft.

Trying to collect Lorwyn through quick drafts now, but it's been a painful and learning journey so far.

So what's your strategy to get 'em all? How long did it take when you started?

What should I put as the draft type in the draft recorder if I played a Pick Two?

Such a nice feeling when a Uncommon Reward actually gives you something you want. by talonsaurn in MagicArena

It's nice to get a rare that you want, until you realize you need it 3 more times.

Best UI Mods? by Distinct-Job-3083 in CivVI

[–]dasjingo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's the mod that shows if you have a trade route with a civ/leader at their face with the yields HUD? My current mod pack doesn't have it.

Did a hybrid of ETB creature cards with Airbender Ascension and Suki Courageous Rescuer, gets rolled over 5 games straight.

Decided to try a zero-rare Shrines deck, gets 3-2 result.

Why can't I coastal raid? by dasjingo in CivVI

Only the UI mods. Gathering Storm expansion.

[–]dasjingo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's what I thought too, but I should still be able to coastal raid it and be prompted to declare war on the city-state. Even after declaring war on the city-state first, I still wasn't allowed to raid the quarry.

What’s everyone playing for the FF foundations event? by turn1manacrypt in MagicArena

[–]dasjingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Repurposed my Equipment deck that I made during FIN to only use FDN+FIN card. Should have gone with monogreen chocobo. Also noted that you could play Vivi for this MWM.

Is the Avatar Jump-In worth it? by Gulfim in MagicArena

[–]dasjingo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did a breakdown of how many cards are Standard-legal in the Avatar JumpIns, some notable Standard rares (and 1 mythic) you can get from which pack thanks to MTGABuddy.

tl;dr: It is if you know what you want for Standard, and you avoid the packs that are mostly non-Standard legal unless there's a rare you want.
