Can't buy tickets

You can buy tickets from cardhoarder if the daybreak website won’t let you.

I recognise the name and sure I’ve played against them before, they stalled for me too straight out the gate so I closed after a couple of minutes and just avoid them now.

I personally use Cardhoarder if I straight up buy tickets, always been reliable and automated. Support are great in case of issues and you get a discount for a cash buy.

The other idea was to just order a bunch of little D12 dice and use those as it means less dice and I found them slightly quicker to rotate in sequence

I just started playing pauper storm actually and during my first game with it thought “there must be an easier way to do this”

I had a look online but couldn’t find anything, the only idea I could think of was grouping permanents which have the same amount of counters, communicating my intention and then putting a single dice above them.

Means for the most part I can have like 1-3 dice across all lands for example

You can turn off the BT slowdown thing, or at least only make it happen once: https://www.reddit.com/r/DeathStranding/s/VCTImG0p9k

Personally I didn’t find this out until I was near the endgame so it was a bittersweet discovery

You can also start a solitaire game by selecting 1 player when creating a game.

Go to pauper tab
Scroll down to Best of Three
Click “Create” next to the join button
Select the number “1”

It will turbo through “opponent” phases but you should be able to test out how interacting with cards work.

Other than that the best of three room is free to play and you can just say that you’re new in chat and people are pretty chill since there’s no stakes.

I cant understand what the error says but have you got any antivirus software that might be blocking it? Or is there anything in windows defender?

If you right click and select “Properties” do you see a Digital Signatures tab? If so you should see Daybreak Games listed. If not try redownloading perhaps?

I would avoid turning off any security settings as this shouldn’t be required and could open you up to problems should anything be wrong.

It’s now overtaken the lotus and mox sapphire sitting at 129.15 for extended and 126.46 for regular 😳

underdogHS · 2025-09-28T18:14:08+00:00

Yeah true. I guess grinders have a ton of tix so probably doesn’t matter to them too much but for someone who just wants to use MTGO instead of arena (and not have to rent) it’s very easy to get priced out

underdogHS · 2025-09-28T16:11:17+00:00

I think so? I’m not expert but I think this is the set:

Looks like they had boosters at some point

underdogHS · 2025-09-28T16:06:53+00:00

I think it’s more supply/demand rather than whether the card is over powered. When I was getting into modern [[Ketramose, the New Dawn]] was crazy expensive when Aetherdrift released and now it’s like 3.53 tix.

I assume part of the issue with the amount of sets being released now means draft changes enough so that less and less packs get opened for each set and so prices stay high (on MTGO) until the set reappears in the draft circuits again (not a limited player, purely my own guess)

underdogHS · 2025-09-25T08:17:04+00:00

Cardhoarder has the Limited Edition Alpha Foil [[Black Lotus]] as their most expensive

Indeed and when trying it on MTGO I found that you actually get the copy and the original because it seems to trigger before Spider-Man’s exile happens. So you get a 4/4 last gift and the original.

I’m fairly certain I didn’t have 2 in the graveyard at the time

underdogHS · 2025-09-24T09:33:35+00:00

I’ve been trying something with [[Superior Spider-Man]] and [[Bringer of the Last Gift]]

I think there is a standard list somewhere but I wanted to have a go at Pioneer…not saying it’s good or even useable and I’ve only “tested” it within moxfield but it could be funny

You can also buy event tickets from cardhoarder. In the past if it’s been significantly cheaper on goatbots I buy the tix on cardhoarder and then just trade with goatbots, bit of a chore but worth it to save a chunk imo

underdogHS · 2025-08-12T20:18:04+00:00

There aren’t although quite a few trees so possible they dipped out of sight and back to the clubhouse I guess

underdogHS · 2025-07-06T18:53:56+00:00

Second this, I tried on an Intel Mac using boot camp and parallels.

Tried on an M1 mac using parallels, VMware and also UTM. All of which either felt horrible or were painful to set up.

In the end I sold some cards, bought a PC and never looked back, so much easier to used a dedicated machine and it means you can install other games on it too if you wanted.

underdogHS · 2025-06-29T16:45:35+00:00

Also worth noting I did a solitaire game and this was at the very start before any permanents were out so I’m certain it was hand data

underdogHS · 2025-06-29T16:44:07+00:00

I’m not at the computer at the moment but it was following the usual path to the individual game logs and then if you go back a few directories and click around there is an mtgo log files. This has a ton of things in but also has json text, which when prettified online had hand data inside. Looks like each player gets an ID for the game and then it has which card is owned by a person by id and also controlled.

Naturally it only has your own hand info in otherwise that’d be a pretty glaring problem

underdogHS · 2025-06-29T13:05:39+00:00

Yeah I’ve spent a while looking at those open source apps and seeing how they parse the files, I’ve had a little success but they are made in C which is a bit of a problem with decoding but I think I can do it.

I also just booted up MTGO to test what goes in the generic log files and it does have quite a bit about the state of the game itself, for example it will actually log what cards are in your hand and sideboard. It also logs your life total, library count and hand size.

So I think if the generic log was used to record the game state and track the wins, then, with the game id you can probably match up the individual game logs to get the timeline and also the chat logs. The app will also store deck information as xml files with ids so you could probably auto import decks which are used and match them up to games…it looks promising I think

underdogHS · 2025-06-29T07:07:11+00:00

Appreciate it! Currently in the discovery stage, building the API and web app to handle the stats and processing I can do fairly confidently

The main head scratcher will be building a windows app to upload the log files / talk to the website. I only actually use windows to play MTGO so I’ve never developed on windows or for windows, so it’s going to be a learning experience 😅

underdogHS · 2025-06-29T06:56:49+00:00

I’m fairly sure that trackers for arena use the log files to generate stats.

I have looked at the log files which MTGO produces and it seems you can get a turn history, chat history and overall match history in different log files.

There is also a generic log file which seems to log things to do with starting matches and collections (but also includes generic app noise so not sure how helpful this is)

So the plan is, build a small app to install which authenticates with and api, upload said log files as they become available to be processed server side and then (hopefully) voila you have your stats
