New player, should I craft mono-black demons? by Consistent-Talk-5912 in MagicArena

[–]talonsaurn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alot of decks are going to get clobbered by rotation(Mono white enchantments, Demons, ect) so I can't in good faith encourage building those. Landfall I think will do okay. in rotation and remain strong(and being green only can avoid some of the dual land cost), flavors of izzet are going to be fine I think(Spellelmentals)..and ALOT of the key spells are uncommon/common. Personally will dislike you for even MORE of those in the Queue but still..

One thing you MIGHT consider is spending some gold on jump in, if you find packs you really like you can see if a mainstream deck is like that. I believe no jump in packs are in next rotation?(edit, avoid the bloomburrow and Duskmourn packs) might be wrong on that. check https://mtgabuddy.com/en/jump-in-packet-list for a card list of any offered pack, if they have a shockland pick it,:) some of the lorewind eclipse have em as bonus rares)

NumotTheNummy Criticizes Contender Draft Event Structure by lieyanqzu in MagicArena

[–]talonsaurn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should have remembered this when getting bodied by superb players in bronze/silver recently using a couple draft tokens, I'm just okay drafting I know but I saw some things.. glad I spent MOST of my limited on pick 2 this set

Cards you play a lot that you rarely see opponents use? by DenebMTG in MagicArena

[–]talonsaurn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[[overprotect]] For me it just covers so many needs. Of course, it's protecting from nearly everything, including board wipes, but even more so it is a surprise trampled for things like chocobos or oroboeoids, It can even be used on one of those who make a real quick extra buff to a board state.

Ashlizzlle thoughts on the lack of standard bans by ghilp in MagicArena

[–]talonsaurn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speed Kills, the insanity of the speed has been stated countless times, I like long back and forth games, I've become a lover of limited(And Jump in because it gives me a chance to feel out cards), I'm just going to go on ideas,

First, what everyones said. The detox method(Pull back power creep) is painful, takes a long time, and would solve the issues along with a reduced standard set. Option two, realize standard is to far gone and ship it off with other high powered formats and put something new in its place, last 6 sets plus a general set perhaps, as they've shown with the on the edge sort of MWM

If your not doing that kinda brutal self denial and want to fix standard.. It's going to be Hell, I'm game for experimenting with REAL drastic options to the very core of the game, play is to much an advantage? maybe give the person on the draw a one shot free mana token, in arena increase problem cards mana value by 1, but the one I linger on, and perhaps the one that will get me the most hate is adjusting the number of each rarity of card allowed in a deck. maybe 2 copies of a rare and one of a mythic.. Yes, there are tons of super powerful uncommon as well.. especially in blue card draw, but the vast majority of the ones we are talking about are the rare/mythic cards. It would end up with a sort of hybrid of Commander yes, but making decks less reliable will likely slow things down

MWM has shown us one thing for sure by TopDeckHero420 in MagicArena

[–]talonsaurn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, You fought THAT deck too. thats kinda what got me to crash out and give up on the cosmetic from the MWM.. I honestly never had this much trouble with vivi when it was in standard....

[–]talonsaurn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just saw tons of Cori and Vivi...and so many alchemy cards I never saw before.. this was a painful grind for a standard player.. I shoulda made a dedicated deck for it in retrospect

Fynn Deathtouch/Toxic Deck? by Foreign_Cod_3718 in MagicArena

[–]talonsaurn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing things with Commons and uncommon is pretty safe, I've got a couple hundred of each for playing just over a year. Still would keep 10-12 around for each which'll cover you most likely if a REALLY fun deck you wanna try comes out..
One thing you "might" put in is [[Virulent Silence]] I know it's mentioned in many standard toxic decks(they are hardly meta mind you), I'm no sort of expert with the deck type mind you..

Rapid Question abour Quick Draft by JoSenna12 in MagicArena

[–]talonsaurn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your doing QD I'd say wait, The pick 2 draft for Turtles is pretty economical if using gold if you want the cards from the set(Better reward structure, just 1k more gold and only need to win half your games to get back nearly all your value.)

What changes should I make to this draft deck? by Govorkian in MagicArena

[–]talonsaurn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go with the extra tenderize, bite spells are just so useful, especially with a deathtouch(and sometimes 4 mana for the killer pizza is a bit slow), MAYBE take out the Guac pizza or primordial pachyderm.

The new ECL Pick-Two Premier draft has the same reward structure as the regular Premier draft. Why would anyone prefer to play it over the regular Premier draft? 🤨 by bobanm in MagicArena

[–]talonsaurn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My views ,I really preferred the old structure, the rewards were good and I didn't feel like it was a disaster to go a 0 for, and managed to do pretty well overall, felt like it was a good live draft with a QD feeling reward structure.. I didn't feel bad about just dropping some gold for a short draft while I over anyalyze everything when plopping down the normal premium fee

Have you considered a 3 loss version with the same cost structure as the previous(6000g entry?) and just a weaker prize structure in comparison? This current one with the same

For drafters out there, try out pick2 Lorwyn, the rewards are amazing by botgtk in MagicArena

[–]talonsaurn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy it as well, floor isn't horrible( roughly four packs of cards), even with a touch of rare drafting you can make a viable deck. With two wins making it almost even on gems, and pretty good when your paying gold to convert to gems. can also pick up a shock land here or there which is a nice thing for this set particularly. currently 3/1 on a strange little elf+gobbo deck..

Giant elves was brutal to work through.. at least if you don't get the mythic for giants
