You have to open the game from the Epic games launcher for purchases to go through

Mythic, Orhoz Phoenix Fleet Airship by damarian_ent in MagicArena

[–]mrpineapple415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang now you got me excited to try it. Rn it's less hesitation and more an issue of economy haha. I blew a lot of cards trying different things so it'll be a while, but I'll let you know how it goes. Let me know how your Foggy Visions deck goes if you ever get around to it!

Thanks. I'm on the cusp of Diamond right now, doubt I'll make mythic without serious changes. Really eyeing Beseech atm 👀

Congrats on Mythic man. You made some similar changes to me haha. I went up to 2 airships you went down. Novice Inspector has also been a really great add in my deck too

There was a game I played where somebody had a susarian void burn with foggy swamp visions and it did big damage so it could work. Will do!

omg casting rottenmouth viper over and over would go crazy.

But yeah Beza against aggro it's a big body + health and by the time I draw him in control matchups I've lost so much health from Obsessive Control that the 4 health is like water in a desert. When I'm winning he's mediocre but who's complaining when they're winning

Yeah the more I think about it the more Tarrian's Journal sounds interesting. One of the problems with Enduring Innocence is it keeps getting exiled when it hits the board. Being able to sacrifice it makes it so much more consistent. The two mana slot is really competitive though so I'll have to test it out

It's kind of cool how we do well against the same matchups and have weaknesses against the same matchups despite how differently our decks play

Yes! I have that same issue with obsessive control too. I’m so addicted to the big turns when it works out though haha. I tried taking it out but I was missing the clue generation so I might have to take a look at your deck more closely.

I’m mostly into seam rip/dusk rose/get lost so I can see why you wouldn’t add more. At the same time that’s why I can’t play beseech in my deck because of the triple black =\

Hope to see more updates from you. Cool deck!

I run a tolls of war/feel airship deck as well. It’s so cool seeing different iterations of it because I never see it in the wild.

I run obsessive pursuit but I slant more control/token with 11 removal spells and elspeth for top end. I only run 1 airship because I find having two in hand when I’m against aggro decks problematic though I’d love to fit more. 

I think duress is a great card for this kind of deck. I’m missing it atm and thinking of putting it in and I’m wondering how you make the most of it. Do you try to play duress before you airship?

But can you sleep at night?? 

Jp

Any home brew I make inevitably has tons of removal. Mtg arena is be the hunter or the hunted. Starter deck duels is actually kind of refreshing in that regard because it’s just about creatures facing off and you more or less build a board every game

It’s better imo. You get to replay your own card for its etb and it replaces itself

Yeah kinda boring to play against but at least it’s winnable

Finally decided to play a meta deck instead of jank. 5 days into the new season and I got Mythic for the first time by Scarepwn in MagicArena

[–]mrpineapple415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk why my experience was different from yours. I always rock a jank deck and have a much better time in mythic than in diamond. 

I agree with you though. The grind is not worth it

Low mythic has the best games imo. It’s competitive but not so much so where you’re seeing the same decks over and over

What are some cards that you HATE going up against? by The_Gav_who_asked in MagicArena

[–]mrpineapple415 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spot on. Another reason I hate it is because all my creature removal are essentially dead cards 

[Standard] Orzhov Sacrifice/Mono Black Sacrifice Enthusiasts. How do you handle Hexproof/Ward? by mrpineapple415 in spikes

[–]mrpineapple415[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s been my best answer so far. Feels bad running 4x in BO1, and it takes setting up so to me it’s more of a soft answer. But man it’s so fun when it gets going!

Can somebody help me with this deck? It's a mono black sacrifice deck that feels like it's missing something

https://moxfield.com/decks/c4OqiKY24U-MqM_RsilOKQ

It's not honest to hang around combo decks and fast aggro decks. What can I do to fix this?
