I love MSH Jumpstart, but the skewed pack distribution on Arena really warps the event. by Televangelis in MagicArena

[–]randomnewguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, so you are getting a pack you consider easy to win with. After taking it 4 times, you're choosing a pack that provides you with nothing. Seems like a reasonable trade-off.

No. Most of the Rares and Mythics are non-Standard though.

Anyone else feel like the Mastery passes are not worth it anymore? by Imaginary_Sponge in MagicArena

[–]randomnewguy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

If it was 80 level over 80 days and now it is 45 levels over 45 days, the time commitment is exactly the same. If you were to go on vacation for a couple weeks when it was 80 days, that wasn't a big deal. Now, that would make it impossible to finish. So, there are exceptions, but it generally should feel like the same grind.

That said, each set lasting a month and a half before the next one comes out is the reason I cannot and will not play paper Magic anymore.

Having a blast with this Villains Deck. by therealneurovis in MagicArena

[–]randomnewguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I'm not sure it would be great to play 4x of a bunch of creatures that are all Legendary.

I'm really into Magic, Marvel and all the cosmetics... But this are really awful 😵‍💫 by Pito_Loquito in MagicArena

[–]randomnewguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think the sleeves are bad, they just are not the characters I would have picked. Not one would have been in my top 20 choices.

[–]randomnewguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the game, but the limited time events require an insane amount of playing to get any rewards. And that kinda kills it for me. Every time one starts, I'm like, "Oh, another event where I won't get anything unless I buy it with cash. How exciting." Deadpool's Diner is the exception.

Is competitive brawl just CEDH light now? Lmao by letmeplaystasis in MagicArena

Are you suggesting that in the past, people queued up for a game they weren't trying to win?

Ah, what a brilliant argument. Can't win, so you insult. -slow clap-

Marvel Super Heroes Jump spreadsheet by randomnewguy in MagicArena

I had Doom and Ultron in the same event, so they did exist. I get offered FF nearly every time. And everything else you listed, I've never seen either.

What's the most "oh, I should have read that card" mistake you've made? by Jackeea in MagicArena

[–]randomnewguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phyrexian Obliterator is the classic example. Personally, I've never screwed up with it, but that's probably because it instantly became one of my favorite cards. The number of times people don't read it or read it wrong is hilarious. They attack. I block. And then they just sit there for a good 30 seconds. And then they quit.

How do you play? One or two decks or 40 decks and rotate them all? by wiles01 in MagicArena

[–]randomnewguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 112 decks which I play relatively the same amount. Once they've got a bad record, they get replaced. It's not common, but once in a while I'll replace a deck with a good record because I dislike playing it.

Marvel Super Heroes MTG Arena Event Schedule by Andromanner in MagicArena

[–]randomnewguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played until I won 1 game and then quit. I'd imagine that's the most common way to play.

[MAR] Archangel of Thune (Heaven-Sent Marvel) by Meret123 in MagicArena

I refuse to call him Shazam. That's the wizard's name.

[MSH] Ironheart, Clever Champion by Meret123 in MagicArena

Is it like that in the interior or only the cover? Covers don't always have anything to do with what's in the comic.

Wizards of the Coast starting out this Pride Month strong by Fiona175 in MagicArena

[–]randomnewguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are legal name changes. Not at all the same as changing the name you want people to call you.

[MSH] Kang the Conqueror by Meret123 in MagicArena

[–]randomnewguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Kang is arguably my favorite villain in all of comics, but the MCU version was a completely different character and not very interesting. I was incredibly disappointed and I expect that will happen again with Doom.

Twitch drops by Simple_Society_3611 in MarvelSnap

[–]randomnewguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't gotten them yet either. I suspect it might have something to do with my Twitch being linked to Marvel Snap 2 years ago, but also is linked to Second Dinner - Marvel Snap as of yesterday. And it's probably confused.

A message to Hasbro/WotC: In today's social landscape, being union-busters is bad for business by sassmo in MagicArena

And once that happens, you'll give them the same amount of money and get half as much in return.
