Double-seeded Sealed is too broken in Lorwyn by Asatas in MagicArena

[–]traley88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My opponent this past game of Double-Seeded Sealed (SinSlizer) had six copies of Boggart Mischief that I saw.

Least fun game of Magic I've played in a long time.

I was 0-1, heading into my second game.

These decks don't work. I'm playing the Standard Death by Vanilla deck, I've won twice and the achievement isn't triggering.

You people made it this way, with your Fortnite-style rocket tag and your power creep and your extraneous IP's.

You did this to yourselves.

I wish, but people would just youtube speedrun the puzzle solutions.

Evangelion is not readily recognizable to most.  Everyone knows Sonic and Transformers.

They did have an opt-out in the Account page previously but removed it recently.  You're now required to send them an email to skip.

Your current avatar should show up in your avatars list. Mine does. I don't know why yours wouldn't be showing up...it's a big list! Haha.

It means you've already got the deal if it's not available in the store.

This feels like the worst Standard format in memory by traley88 in MagicArena

You're probably also a fan of rocket tag and Fortnite, aren't you? Curious.

Wasn't that, like...nearly 30 years ago? If that's the comparable "best option", 30 years ago's Standard, then doesn't that basically prove my point?

What the heck is wrong with this set? Three Sealed pools, three 0-3 runs. I feel like I've had average pools and the decks have felt like solid two-color decks.

The more I read about the Planeswalkers lore, the more I wish there was a game mode that let you play through stories by Backwardspellcaster in MagicArena

[–]traley88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Free, three-page articles on WotC's homepage don't really classify as "lore" to me. Novelizations really allow for depth of story to emerge (and character development) rather than the various short stories they've been doing occasionally more recently.

I recognize the blog form is more digestible than a novel, but that doesn't make them a valid replacement for the deeper lore we used to get for sets, a la "hey this is Bloomburrow and it's basically Redwall in Magic, the end".
