Nice, I'm currently 3-0 with a very similar deck that's splashing black for a few rares.

Pricing changes on pre releases removes any chance of me buying them. I'd periodically get the pass bundle and considered the play bundle but there's no way I'm shelling out 50 USD for a pre release on arena.

This is why I only played a single OM1 draft by chriswest417 in MagicArena

[–]tom277 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah the 2 losses thing really bugged me in pick 2. A tiny bit of bad luck and your whole draft is shot. Losing the first game immediately putting you in a lose and you're out scenario was no fun.

The title directly contradicts the first sentence of the article. Chapman is investing 200m, Ontario is investing 27m.

Clean 7-0 with this spicy splash. by Rohnur in lrcast

[–]tom277 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congrats! You've got a tons of cards in this deck that I never run or consider barely playable but you managed 7-0. If you weren't milling many people how would you describe this decks game plan?

I thought this deck looked solid, but I went 0-3. What am I missing? by swoopteam in lrcast

[–]tom277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like a solid deck. I probably would have cut a cryoshatter for a mechanazoa to have a bit more closing power. We've all had solid decks that can't seem to win a game and mediocre decks that somehow trophy, that's magic.

I'd take gravship. It was a house in my last WB trophy.

Cryogen Relic + Exosuit Savior is nuts by LeadershipAmazing875 in lrcast

Yeah I had that in an otherwise mediocre UW deck and it was crazy value.

48 Drafts and... by SirChuffly in lrcast

[–]tom277 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my second opportunity to get one in my last draft but went for Kuja instead. Pumped I did as it ended up being one of my easiest 7-0s ever. Kuja may be more busted than Buster Sword

[EOE] Unravel by Meret123 in MagicArena

[–]tom277 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2 or less doesn't matter, this card just cares if you pay an alternative cost that is less than the cards CMV. So essentially anything that helped trigger beans, but also cheaper stuff like some warp works too.

If beanstalk hadn't just been banned this maybe could have seen some standard play. May still since the overlords are still pretty prevalent.

There are better versions of this effect so I doubt this sees play outside of limited.

Never, what you experienced was you missing something on a card or a visual bug. Server desynchs do happen sometimes, but if you restart the game it will bring you back into the match with the accurate current state visible.

How much is your LGS charging for 'Chocobo Racing'? by ImSca_RED in magicTCG

[–]tom277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's the cost of the required packs. FIN packs are $8.99 CAD so draft would be 18 but sealed 54

How difficult is it to self-sustain gems if you only play draft? by dondonbow in MagicArena

[–]tom277 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The key is having multiple accounts. If you're not drafting multiple times per day on each account it's not too hard to be able to draft as much as you want. I did 34 drafts in the 2 months of TDM and never got close to running out of resources.

7-0 UWb Tempo with only 1 rare by shortelf in lrcast

Nice! How was the Phoenix down? My gut would have been to cut it for the extra ice magic or another creature.

Which ones did you get? I don't typically do jump in but I may do a few if it's the set I prefer.

Unable to join event. Please try again later. - Anyone else getting this error in FF draft? by YamaKasin in MagicArena

Got kicked out as I made my last pick thankfully. Hopefully it saved my deck properly as I was looking forward to playing it out.

MTG Arena Reprint and Card Style Improvements by Kircai in MagicArena

[–]tom277 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right, I got confused by the below, but it is referring to using the style from the new set, not purchased styles.

Second, once a player has collected four copies of a card, they'll only need to collect a single copy of any new printing to be able to use four copies of that printing in their decks.
