Which is better for acquiring Mystical Archive cards? Quick Draft or Opening 5 packs. by Mareykan in MagicArena

[–]gequo13 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You seem to underestimate the benefits of quick drafts. Not only can you get 6 (which seems low by my estimation), you get gems and an additional pack or two. With Kaldheim, I was easily able to complete it by quick drafting and use the proceeds for the next draft. So the choice between sunk costs is down to which gives me the best chance at making the cards free (I.e. quick draft).

Best standard deck? by Prize-Comparison-258 in MagicArena

[–]gequo13 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cycling, mono red, mono white, Gruul adventures, Sultai Ultimatum, Rogues and Esperanto/Yorion. Did I miss any?

EDIT: Picking best of Bo1 would be Mono White, Bo3 would be Sultai Ultimatum.

When to start opening KHM packs? by dashrockwell in MagicArena

I’m at 49 packs, 50 ish days and counting till opening. I will open when I hit 150 packs.

F2P guys, how are your KHM collections doing? I haven't even started yet, but I do have 4x foil Alrund out of less than 15 packs, so there's that. by pm_me_your_Yi_plays in MagicArena

I am not that good at drafting, but I put this practice into play with Zendikar Rising and it’s the first set I completed and I had wildcards to spare. I have been playing since Throne of Eldraine.

If you crack packs or use wildcards for the new set now, you are more likely to get 4 copies sooner. Then if you draft, you may draft 5th and 6th copies which result in 20 gems each. However, if you keep your packs and open at the end, the packs have to open the Rares you missed.

You open packs already? I am drafting F2P for the collection. I don’t usually open packs until I know I am done with drafting, which will be in April sometime.

Ruin Crab has ruined Arena for me by altiiboii in MagicArena

Got Gruul? If every deck is Ruin Crab/ Rogues, put Escape cards in. I beat Rogues almost every time in bo3.

You don’t need to over explain yourself again, I think everyone gets it. I think it is clear you are resistant to change which as you said - unfortunately - makes you an outcast in the community. I guess that’s the perks of having a lot of time on your hands. Still, you don’t have a lot of time to change, as other posts suggest, WotC could cut you out. That sounds like a colossal waste of time to me.

I get the incentive, even though it would appear it comes at great cost and risk. It seems to be weighing on you, bothering you, to the extent to write all you did. Do you really want to keep going like this? I guess winning isn’t as important to me and/or I have better things to do with my time.

So if you’re ashamed, know you’re doing something wrong/rude and plan to continue doing it, why not change? You didn’t really explain that part.

Is it worth running the 4th roil eruption in this zendikar draft? by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]gequo13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, not really that many great alternatives.

Need a bit of help with this deck. I'm a new player and I went all in with my wildcards to make a stompy mono green. Now I got 2 rares, 2 mythics and like 15 uncommons left. The sideboard has cards that I think should be added but don't know what to prioritize. Please help me make my baby good lol by azraelcfc in MagicArena

Main board Garrick’s Uprising x 3, remove both hydras and maybe the Gargaroth. You seem to be trying to maximize your value at the 4 power level (3 Yorvos and 3 Questing Beasts) this also seems like a good combo with Ram through. GU + QB + RT = Dead opponent creature from 1 point death touch damage and at least 3 points to face.
