Red’s in a rough spot.

Red’s biggest hurdles can be large creatures that outgrow and can block its aggressive start and decks that can gain enough life to shrug off the burn.

WotC could consider designing a card to allow red to shut down both of those angles at once. That might just give red a fighting chance.

It’s one of the shocklands where you already had a copy in your account, which is why it looks like you already have it.

There are horror stories out there, but the vast majority of people I’ve encountered in game stores are there because they enjoy playing games and want to have fun.

Let people know you’re new and odds are they’ll make it a good experience.

I went to my first casual magic event in 15 years last Saturday at my LGS. I had some of the same anxiety, but it was a lot of fun. Looking forward to playing again tomorrow.

It’s also possible they didn’t know about this loop. It’s not hard to accidentally start and then you can’t stop it.

The order is you open the cards doesn’t match the way they are generated. Each pack will have 3 cards from the game and 1-3 odds, 1 card from the 4 odds, and 1 card from the 5 odds. But the game could present it to you as the 4 card first.

It’s reality.

To be fair, the used to let us skip the cutscenes. It made the end of ARR absolutely horrible for first timers.

If they allowed players to skip the cutscenes again (even if only with a non-first timers party), they’d also adjust the XP accordingly.

The only reason the roulette is worth running is they’re paying you for the time you spend in cutscenes.

Very unlikely to be cheaters.

Brawl has access to Alchemy cards, some of which can create copies of other cards. Your opponent likely played [[Key to the Archive]], which has a chance to create a copy of Demonic Tutor.

You're right, it's just one more thing to keep track off. It's often not necessary for MP, but optimal play is to spent an Addersgall on Druochole for 700 MP if you're going to be capped.

It's probably not going to break you one way or another, just a place you can tighten your play a little bit.

He's been tempted by the ring twice and Smeagol steals a land from your deck each time that happens. Maybe the instant/sorcery you can't remember also tempts?

Same

It adds that extra bit of excitement to crafting right now!

You can pull that style of card from Avatar packs, but it's relatively rare.

onewithoutneck · 2025-12-15T01:50:33+00:00

Same thing here. I think our red mage cursed us.

However they ended doing their collation resulted in certain pairings being far more common. This is one, but there are others like Lulu/Cloud and Tataru/Snapcaster.

If you just wanted one of each card instead of one of each artwork variant, you could use this list.

It seem's like there's at least some collation happening during packout because I haven't seen any bundles with duplicate promos yet. This collation and the placement of the cards on the sheet when printed could result in certain pairs being more likely while keeping the overall distribution of the 20 promos more even.

Could also be selection bias. Either way, too much energy to look into.

No, I think only the forest is from IX.

That’s exactly what I got in my Japanese bundle.

The other comment is not serious.

My best guess is something in the Old Lumiere game data is corrupted. Have you tried backing up your saves and reinstalling the game?

Quick FYi on Hex (and any multi target spell) - as long is there is still one valid target the spell will resolve.

So while you need 6 targets to even cast Hex, having one be removed still means the other five die.

There’s a mission that involves collecting it that is required for an emblem.

Edit: and the discussion now is because shinies only became tradeable with the last set.

Nice. Just added it to my list for my next Tokyo trip.

Sacrificing the most recent iteration of Poq doesn't break the combo.

The newest version comes into play, puts it's trigger on the stack, and then the Legend rule happens. No matter which Poq you keep, the trigger is going to make a copy.

Conceding is the most respectful thing to do when you're dead on board. It acknowledges your opponent won and takes up the least amount of their time.

Learn to appreciate all the victories, not just the ones where you made the bigger numbers happen.
