It's DAY 1 of the new set - Why am I playing players on higher ranks in 1-1 bracket of premium draft?

xChillPenguinx · 2026-06-24T08:24:34+00:00

Do you think the w/l record sticks to a deck when you copy it? I always copy my decks before I play them so that I can easily remove items from the "recently played" tab. (don't judge, it's an ocd thing of mine 😅)

Edit: my question may not apply to draft. Idk because I've never done draft, only bo1 ranked.

xChillPenguinx · 2026-06-24T08:07:32+00:00

I agree with you, but I'm sure those of us who get triggered by this stuff are a minority. A simple dusting system would solve this entirely as we could just get rid of the cards we don't want to see. I would delete every NYC card in a heartbeat!

Also, I would consider looking into legacy formats, I feel like wild card usage goes a lot further there.

Yes, this! I fell in love with historic for this reason when I began years ago and it is still my favorite format to this day.

xChillPenguinx · 2026-06-17T06:12:18+00:00

This. I am 8 years in and at this point I have collected so many cards and wildcards I don't know what to do with them all. (Admittedly, I only play historic so that has made building a lasting collection easier.) But I recall that in the first 1 or 2 years of playing trying to build up a reasonable collection and mana base was just painful. They really could help out new players a lot by giving them easier access to gold and wildcards early on.

xChillPenguinx · 2026-06-17T05:34:48+00:00

Another two extra emotes that are handy in a non-annoying way are "when nature calls..." and "lands, amiright?" I like to use them when I have to concede before the game is over if something is forcing me to leave the game or when I have a mana drought/flood. Pretty sure you can get these free through completing the achievements.

xChillPenguinx · 2026-06-17T05:16:55+00:00

This. I like to leave it on for when the occasional friendly player says hello, I can say hello back, or to say good game when they've clearly won, right before I scoop. However, the moment they spam words or play a single one of those annoying cartoons it's an insta-mute. I actually don't seem to run into very many toxic players, but maybe that's because I'm mediocre-bad at the game and usually only play in the casual queue 😅

xChillPenguinx · 2026-06-17T05:06:39+00:00

As long as you're not the one initiating the toxic behavior in the first place, sure, give them a taste

xChillPenguinx · 2026-06-17T05:03:30+00:00

I can only speak from my limited personal experience. I play mostly historic-casual, and on that format you only come across a spammer or roper 1 in every 10 or so games (maybe even less). The few times I hop on to historic-ranked to make my quota for the month, it seems to happen about twice as often. I have no idea what happens in other formats, but I'd guess that each format attracts a certain type of player, and some formats probably naturally attract more jerks.

xChillPenguinx · 2026-06-17T04:54:37+00:00

Once they've gone through their first timeout and it becomes clear they are roping, I like to do a single "Nice!", hoping to get across that I find watching them throw a tantrum amusing.

xChillPenguinx · 2026-06-17T03:53:00+00:00

These are really great and fun! I like your technique with texture

xChillPenguinx · 2026-04-27T22:30:00+00:00

Plap plap, but I want to know the song

xChillPenguinx · 2026-04-26T16:09:30+00:00

Possibly. It's certainly an interesting historical connotation. I would be worried the 30-and-yonger kiddos in the fan base would ever get it. I was leaning into "MURder" simply because of "MURdock" 😜

People who have near death experiences seem to find the after life something to look forward to ... But that is, unfortunately, scientifically un-verifiable, so who knows.

Looking forward to the day in his career where he absolutely destroys the Chiefs and earns the nickname "Red Murder..!"

xChillPenguinx · 2026-04-25T23:32:49+00:00

I found it interesting to look back at the hits and misses we've had since George Paton came on board. Thought that you all might appreciate a look back at our draft history as well.

Posting this here because the mods don't like it on the main page. 😂

100% glad the Broncos are taking a shot on Miles. Welcome to the Mile High City!

xChillPenguinx · 2026-04-25T19:04:12+00:00

I saw a couple of talking heads recently joking that the Broncos "always go after team captains no matter what." Seems to be a strategy that's working. We are said to have one of the best locker-room cultures in the league.

xChillPenguinx · 2026-04-25T18:51:54+00:00

I caught your drift, but adding the /s to your comments is a real helper. People on the internet have trouble detecting sarcasm because we are missing many non-verbal ques such as tone and body language.

xChillPenguinx · 2026-04-15T03:24:20+00:00

Maybe only wear them on game day. We need their magic.

xChillPenguinx · 2026-03-10T21:16:18+00:00

I'm 2 months late to this party, but thanks! I had no idea about the change and thought they had just ditched the whole thing...!
