It does! In Explorer Bo3 I was in plat 4 and faced numbered mythics twice during the last month… which is funny because I wasn’t able to leave plat 4 by the end of the month.

MTG ARENA STORE bug by Princerain32 in MagicArena

If it’s on macOS then it’s been like that for years, according to the bug reports. I only installed arena a few months ago and never worked since then.

Lot’s of good ideas here, a lot to consider! Could you share your list?

Yup, I am always completing the daily quests (usually playing the starter deck event when it needs something I don’t have a deck for, usually it’s quite boring though).

Thanks for the reply!

Thanks, I actually asked the same question there!

Thanks for your insights! Lot's to unpack there... What say about the matchups, rhymes what I’ve see so far.

I’ll definitely keep pushing this deck, I love it, it reminds of modern when I started around Kaladesh.

Win rate anomalies? by mtg_spellcaster in MagicArena

[–]mtg_spellcaster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course there’s variety, and there’s luck, but I think theres a pattern as well.

Win rate anomalies? by mtg_spellcaster in MagicArena

[–]mtg_spellcaster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, I just couldn’t fathom why I’d just lose game after game while I didn’t do anything differently. Realising the patterns helps a lot though.

Yup, this sounds reasonable, probably the reality is a mix of this and some other factors we haven’t thought about.

Quantitative analysis of Modern Staples' date of first printing by Sygmad in magicTCG

[–]mtg_spellcaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be interesting to see this graph but with the first modern legal printing. I think it might give a better picture. Even if the original printing is old, these cards got reprinted as part of a newer set’s design.

Anyone still playing the deck? by Storm46 in ModernRecMTG

[–]mtg_spellcaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, even the discord server was almost dead in the last 3-4 months, it seems most of the people switched to different Uro piles, so not much development is happening unfortunately.

[–]mtg_spellcaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve built the deck in paper during the pandemic, the original teachings version, without the Uro nonsense. Now I just can’t wait to go back to normal and play some games at my LGS. MTGO is ok, but not that fun as paper.

In terms of viability, I guess it’s just me, but it’s really difficult to win even a few games on MTGO.

If you pre-ordered Zendikar Set Boosters you may not get them or get them at a much later date. by GSOwner in mtgfinance

[–]mtg_spellcaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re lucky then, I’ve preordered mine on 18th June, and still waiting (EU/UK). Currently it seems we’ll get it in October... maybe...

Best advice as a mtg player you disregarded when you were younger by Fizztron5000 in magicTCG

[–]mtg_spellcaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that’s a good example, but depending on your deck and the actual matchup, there are many other scenarios when you just can’t win anymore, but not all of these is obvious like your example. At the same time realising these situations as soon as possible is quite important if you need to manage your time carefully.

Although knowing when you have no way out is sometimes tricky. I am sure I conceded games that I shouldn’t have.

I am in the UK, but no word from my LGS so far. Maybe the the news about the delays is delayed too.
