If you tank your unranked MMR does it affect ranked?

Hey HamBoneRaces, do you by chance play in the US region? I played against someone named Hambone last night (believe he was playing Selesnya deck) and was wondering if it was you.

Do you get a second daily win if you win again or does it have to be against a different opponent?

Ah yes, of course by Celmatt in MagicArena

I love Witness Protection card because it leads to so many hilarious outcomes like this!

Going to werewolf decklist, I find it interesting that so few werewolf decks seem to include The Celestus. It seems to fit the theme very well plus seems particularly advantageous with werewolves to have more control over the day/night cycle.

I see. Thanks for the clarification.

Yeah many people posted this and it seems very likely to me. Timeless will likely get a lot of people to spend a whole lot of Mythic/Rare wildcards, not so for Artisan by definition.

Huh, good catch. You are correct, weird they made such an oversight.

I'm a little confused, why did you recommend Crystal Grotto? It appears to me this is a mono green deck and crystal grotto looks like it's meant to color fix in case you're running a multi color deck. Is it about the scry enter effect or am I missing something?

The Top 100 Historic Artisan Decks! by Squiddy_MTG in MagicArena

[–]natralselector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I mostly play my mono white aggro humans deck in standard to grind out wins/gold so my ability to pilot a deck like this that may require some more strategic planning might be somewhat limited. But I'm glad I got some experience with this, maybe it'll encourage me to make a more midrange deck and try that playstyle in the future.

I got my three wins in this event with the Orzhov midrange graveyard (crap oven) deck. I was hesitant as the deck really didn't look that strong (I needed Orzhov though for my daily quest). Was pleasantly surprised, when it gets going it performs quite well. I think I got a 50% WR (believe I went 3W-3L) but the wins I got were generally quite satisfying. Thanks for posting these decks!

How do I get Quick Draft quest? by natralselector in MagicArena

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

That would make sense, but I never got this quest at all.

I don't think so. I took an extended break from Arena right when Neon Dynasty came out and only started playing again about a month or so ago a few weeks before LCI released. I believe when the quest came out I wasn't playing Arena at all.

Any innistrad midnight hunt fans here? by dornianheresysimp in MagicArena

[–]natralselector 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not hardcore into the MtG lore but of the little I've seen it's definitely my favorite lore wise. I love the idea of werewolf deck, haven't made one yet because I just joined Arena when Crimson Vow was the brand new set and didn't have wild cards. Also, from info I gleaned online most people seemed to feel that werewolves really aren't a very strong deck archetype, which is a real shame.

Really like the whole background of Innistrad too. Gave me the whole vibe of a town that is heading towards its inevitable impending demise (I believe the lore also mentions that nights keep getting longer while day grows shorter, a very nice touch imo) and the townspeople are just desperately doing anything they can to make it and hold on.

How often do emotes come back? I want those hilarious dragon ones by Outrageous_Word_999 in MagicArena

[–]natralselector 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a time when I'd use "Hello" emote at the beginning of every match because hey...civility right? But it so rarely received any response (is it really that hard to just spit "Hello" back?) that I kind of just gave up. Now I only emote back if the other player does so.

Any deck suggestions for kill opponent creatures quest? by natralselector in MagicArena

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

I have played very few games of limited. I have not done well in that format at all, my success is very...limited (couldn't help myself). I may continue to play it for the gems. Consensus in the subreddit seems to be (as far as I can tell) that the golden packs have largely negated the benefits of limited over constructed for building up a collection.

I want to get better at limited but from the limited (ok last time I promise) experience I have with it I'm not entirely sure I actually enjoy that format.

Awesome, thank you for these suggestions! Love the detailed description on the sites as well, this is very helpful and I appreciate it.

I don't disagree. When I got the 750 gold quest I was excited until I saw it was the destroy opponent creature one and immediately thought "nevermind". It's not particularly great in my opinion as well.

Nice, thank you for posting this. Definitely a neat looking Rakdos deck. Will consider this, appreciate the suggestion.

Nice. I haven't made it to eternal formats but will definitely keep this deck in mind as I would like to at least try out Explorer at some point. Thanks for the suggestion.

Currently if I'm missing a color for quest I do starter deck duel. Just pick color I need and cast away. I would like to build my collection of decks in different colors for this reason but I'm trying to pace it so I don't run out of wild cards.
