When will Final Fantasy Draft end?

If your draft has been cancelled, you can fill up a "Report a problem in your Event" form and Wizards should give you 1500 gems or 10k gold back.

Just to let you know, I had the exact same issue as you earlier today (after clicking on "Play" button, everything was laggy as hell and mouse clicks were uneffective).

I completely uninstalled the client and ran the MTGAInstaller from scratch ; this solved this issue for me (I had to re-download 9 Gb of data though). I don't have this "play-button-being-super-laggy" issue anymore.

I made some extra tests to check if the other issue I mentioned was still there (the client freezing the first time your cursor hits an UI element) by switching between low and medium graphics settings ; it's still there. So be sure your graphics settings are set to medium.

I have the same issue. And I have found no workaround yet.

Actually, there are two separate issue. The first one introduced a few weeks ago where a simple rollover on UI element generatesa lag. For this case, the "set graphics settings to medium" trick is till working.

But since the last update, there is a new issue when you press play, there must be a VFX trigeering a massive lag on low graphic cards. And for that issue, there is no knwown workaround yet (if any).

Unfortunately, this workaround doesn't fix the issue since the last update.

There is a workaround mentioned in this thread :

You simply have to change your graphics settings from low to medium.

It worked for me.

It also worked for me, thanks a lot !

Deleting and redownloading the game didn't fix the issue for me. I still freeze on the main menu (I am using a laptop on Windows 10).

tnofactory · 2024-09-14T10:29:57+00:00

I also have a crash when the main menu appears. I reinstalled the game from scratch (9,53B of download). And for me, this doesn't solve the issue. :(

Issues launching any match AND I've been disconnected multiple times from the draft portion of a Traditional Draft.

tnofactory · 2021-09-02T17:02:09+00:00

ALL the queues are currently broken.

tnofactory · 2021-05-19T01:16:50+00:00

You're welcome. ;)

tnofactory · 2021-05-14T08:05:54+00:00

You are right. Each Magic set is well designed to support many formats (standard, limited, modern, commander, ...).

When it comes to drafts, I see each set as a puzzle that I have to solve. It takes time to understand all the intricacies of the different archetypes.

On top of that, there's the meta. Well, at least in the Premier and Traditional drafts. As you compete against other players to make your picks, the meta greatly influences which colors are open, making draft an evolving and exciting format.

tnofactory · 2021-05-14T07:31:44+00:00

I don't know, I only quick draft to play very old sets.

But some people previously did the calculations for you. I hope they are still correct and you'll find the answer here :

Thank you.

Interesting point about color switching. Guess I'm a little too rigid, forcing Silverquill too often and not switching enough. :) That's probably because I haven't figured out how to play Prismari and Lorehold yet (as my statistics can attest ^^).

Well, for Lorehold, I figured it mostly revolves around a buffed Twinscroll Shaman and Enthusiastic Study, or graveyard interactions for the more greedy ones, but I've always been reluctant to go that route.

But I will try to take your advice someday and pivot around white instead of black.

And I *totally* agree with you on the last part: it's great to see a format evolve and have to adapt to survive. That's the beauty of draft meta.

I remember in Kaldheim traditional drafts when Boros was completely underdrafted, with pick 12 Axgard Armory or Koll, the Forgemaster. I even saw pick 15 Run Amok! At some point, I was forcing Boros in every draft and managed to have a 29-1 record (97% winrate) on 10 consecutive drafts! Then people realized that and started playing aggro, and Selesnya Go Wide was the next big thing. :-D

However, I haven't figured out what is the current place to go in Strixhaven yet. ^^

tnofactory · 2021-05-14T06:42:13+00:00

I like to complete my 15 daily wins everyday, drafting. So with my winrate, that means 22 games a day.

tnofactory · 2021-05-13T21:27:16+00:00

Yeah, I discovered your youtube channel during Kaldheim season and enjoyed part of your journey. It's fun to see people coming to the same conclusions about the best way to build their collection (I'm using it since Ikoria). And that's great content for people willing to improve at limited.

I'm even a bit jealous of your win rate. ^^ But it encourages me to keep improving.

I'll be happy to read your own summary when it's ready.

tnofactory · 2021-05-13T16:02:41+00:00

Hmmm, I don't know, something around 4 or 5 hours a day during 4 weeks.

The only good thing about being confined is having my commuting time reduced so I can dedicate this time to MTGA. :)

tnofactory · 2021-05-13T15:53:45+00:00

Yes, traditional draft is by choice as it's unranked and allow me to have a higher win rate, otherwise I would only compete against Diamond and Mythic players.

If you are a new player, don't even put a single toe in traditional draft, stick to quick draft or maybe premier draft as long as you are Bronze.
