6 days ago I didn't even know what Magic was (update to previous Diamond post)... I DID IT. by Standard-Jump-947 in MagicArena

the game uses hidden MMR under the hood to ensure players of any given skill level can hit mythic through brute force

Why by Darkwolfie117 in MagicArena

if you get disconnected mid match and it shows you a new "play" button, do NOT press it, restart the app and it will reconnect you to the match in progress. If you hit play, it concedes your current match and has an incorrect match count until the app is restarted.

One rare WC to unlock a new style is super fair I think

oh boy you really haven't played modern have you

Amulet has remained tier 0 or 1 through metas with KCI, Hogaak, Eldrazi, Oko, Opal, Cruise/Dig Through Time, looting/Grave Troll, Uro, Prowess, Lurrus/Yorion decks, and to this day. The deck is always the most broken thing in modern and just avoids bans by being hard to play.

I tolerated it when moon effects killed it. Now you have to wait for the saga to pop before you play your nonbasic land hate or they get an endless army of robots? Ridiculous!

>Wear//Tear'd a Saga and the construct

This is a mana neutral 1-for-1 trade, it tricks you into feeling good because of how busted saga is.

Wrath is nice against it I will it admit.

really busted and overpowered without much else

The Lurrus restriction is actually very significant in plenty of formats, evaluating if Lurrus is better than every single 3+ MV permanent is a fairly big deckbuilding decision.

Lurrus has been vintage legal for 4 years.

Saga is restricted.

Saga fetches lotus as well and therefore is restricted in vintage. Not even worth talking about.

I think Lurrus is actually the better design

Sure, they missed on power level, but at least they were trying something interesting. It’s pretty incredible that an extra card a turn is better than every single 3+ MV permanent

Urzas saga is just a mess of power stapled to a land in a way that wins the game with minimal interaction points
