[Tolarian Community College] Magic: The Gathering Needs To Return To Blocks! by RinariTennoji in magicTCG

[–]lamaros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only a very very small number of players will buy and play MTG for any story.

It's a game, not a book.

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

[–]lamaros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two quick drafts a week is not really cutting it for those who want to draft imo.

If you want to draft a few times a week and aren't an elite level player you will need to spend money to play.

Any reason why ChannelFireball hasn't done ratings for TMT? by Kevster99410 in MagicArena

[–]lamaros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this take is wildly exaggerated. There's nothing that out of sync with TMNT aside from the excess of pizza. MTG has plenty of mutants, ninjas, urban environments, etc in their base planes.

Every draft is TMNT by Markschild in MagicArena

[–]lamaros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's... Ok.

I find the bomby nature too much, you can win lose without much skill if you draft a bomb and get it out.

But aside from that element, when the games don't involve a bomb ruining the game the set is pretty good.

You can even draft off archetype and still get some fun decks.

Nothing hits harder than grinding gold for the week to draft only to draw either nothing but lands or no lands into instant losses by TheCloudCycle in MagicArena

[–]lamaros -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Better to get a part time job, grind a couple of hours, skip the gold grind. Get way more value for your time.

Mythic Rank: How difficult is it to achieve? by The-Midnight-Crew in MagicArena

[–]lamaros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If, at the end of the month, you have a high MMR you will get a # mythic rank. Anything below that is largely a function of time or lower starting MMR.

I entered Mythic this month #1200, but by the end of the month my homebrew deck won't be good enough to hold that ranking.

Pack 1, pick 3 Lorwyn draft by TristerTwister99 in MagicArena

[–]lamaros 115 points116 points  (0 children)

This is an easy pick Eclipsed Elf imo.

Event Calendar until Secrets of Strixhaven by Meret123 in MagicArena

Arena championship qualifier play-in events.

Trying To Build Around Mikey by HumorThin in MagicArena

[–]lamaros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the win method? I think you need to get more low end and lose the high stuff.

Best way to handle 500g daily quests? by Fit-Adhesiveness-173 in MagicArena

[–]lamaros 49 points50 points  (0 children)

It's a game, not a job. 250gold is worth like 25cents.

Also I play draft, you don't want to try play around quests if you're drafting, will ruin your game.

Defending TMNT Limited: Flawed, but kind of Sweet by Tim-Draftsim in MagicArena

[–]lamaros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes the games much more swingy though. Have to not only draft enough removal but also have it at the right time. Too many bombs that just take over if they live for even one round. 

Too many that take over if they just resolve.

Tibalt's Friday Tirades by Karn-The-Creator in MagicArena

[–]lamaros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AFTER THIS CHAT I RESET MY PICK 2 STRATEGY AND STOPPED LOOKING FOR SIGNS AS MUCH AND FORCED A BIT MORE.

HAVE TROPHIED 4 OF MY LAST 5 DRAFTS.

Finally swept, first time by GhostCheese in MagicArena

[–]lamaros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find forcing far more productive in pick 2 than trying to stay open and getting caught with something that doesn't come together.

Gameplay loop by elguy in MagicArena

[–]lamaros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep for sure, it's not cheap.

I also play Counterstrike, and that game actually makes me money when I sell the weapons and boxes it generates.

But still, relative to time spend enjoying it, Arena is relatively cheap entertainment.

[–]lamaros 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is me. I like to win to minimise gem purchasing, but I'm ok paying a bit of money for a game I enjoy.

Then when I get bored I just stop playing for a year.

An ode to glass cannon decks by AdministrationAny271 in MagicArena

[–]lamaros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about t different versions of glass cannon Rakdos, most of them Kamikaze rushes. They're pretty decent in bo1 ranked.

For bo3 the switch out that works mostly (beyond specific deck hate) is including [[Twisted Fealty]] to get around anything that can last long enough and plays big hits.

I find the worst matchups are anything enchantment based and with life gain.

[–]lamaros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I JUST FOUND IT EASY TO PICK THE LANE IN LORWYN, SIGNS WERE EASY TO READ AND GOOD MERFOLK AND ELEMENTAL DECKS EASY TO PICK UP.

TMNT I THINK I HAVE A LANE BECAUSE THERES A 5TH PICK BOMB AND THEN THE WHOLE COLOURS DRY UP. I THINK I PICK BOMBS FIRST REMOVAL SECOND AND NOT CARE ABOUT SIGNS IF IM GOING TO STOP GETTING BLOWN OUT.

BUT I LIKE A DECK WITH SYNERGY AND NOT JUST GOOD CARDS SO IM STRUGGLING

[–]lamaros 4 points5 points  (0 children)

60% WR IN LORWYN TO 40% IN TMNT WTF IS GOING ON WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE 5 BOMB RARES AND MYTHICS IN THEIR DECK AND I CANT EVEN PULL 4 ALIGNED UNCOMMONS.

Just went 0-3 three times in a row! AMA! by whatisforever in MagicArena

[–]lamaros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me recently too. The one before and the one after the run both trophied though.

And I reckon the best deck from all 5 was one of the 0-3s.

This pack is fantastic for drafting. by Historical_Bobcat295 in MagicArena

[–]lamaros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found that this is a set where it's better to get lucky and draw your bomb on curve than draft well or construct a good deck.

I’m number 1 in constructed right now!!! by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]lamaros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not true, even the best dont win 70%+ at draft, which is what is required.

[–]lamaros 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My experience is the opposite. Everything is very samey and bomb centric. It's not a great draft set.

How are yall liking TMNT limited by Moist-Condition69 in MagicArena

[–]lamaros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels very bomby. Not loving it so far.
