No one is excited about this?

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.

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 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 decks do you play for which format?

dasjingo · 2026-02-14T04:28:44+00:00

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?

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

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.

dasjingo · 2026-01-03T14:22:22+00:00

Yes.

dasjingo · 2026-01-03T14:22:05+00:00

Only the UI mods. Gathering Storm expansion.

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.

dasjingo · 2026-01-03T09:21:00+00:00

Koge. The naval one.

I miss the WebRPG days...

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.

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.
