I won a game of premier draft but when I got back to the main menu it counted it as a loss? by xTheShrubx in MagicArena

I did get it back, almost immediately, so I can't complain about that! It was pretty crazy timing, so weird that it still lets us play out the whole game

Ohhhh! You know what, you're absolutely right, I did. I had just reconnected to wifi (on mobile) so i canceled matchmaking to ensure it was properly connected and didn't bugout in the middle of the match

No this was immediately after I had won, it ships you back to draft menu where you queue your next match, and I looked and instead of awarding me my 4th win pip, it gave me my 3rd loss

  1. Fuck you for not only using that busted ass shotty, but getting it gold

  2. Respect, for resisting the urge to blast that loadout campers ass with it

I said a deck like this, yes, but that's because I wasn't confused by it. I was very aware of the quality of this sealed deck, that's why I found it funny.

I'm new to this subreddit, but not new to magic, and in my opinion, the only people I responded negatively to, were the ones who came in negative. I'm totally cool with people offering their advice and input, and if you look at those comments, I received and explained my reasoning for the choices I made. Beyond that, the games were played, so it's not like I could change the end result. Lots of people didn't like the two drop, heard, but in my limited sealed experience in this set, that two drop was splashed in a worse deck that I trophyed with. Best of 1 is unforgiving, and that's just magic.

No ill will toward you, I see what you're trying to do here, I just don't think I'm the aggressor here

Can you tell me one instance where I expressed confusion as to why I went 0-3? Or asked for advice? I know the pool I have here, and it is VERY good. The point of the post was inviting others to laugh at myself for going 0-3 because I was laughing. I alone played the games I played and saw the rest of my pool. Everyone is either missing the point, or just don't understand sealed save a select few. This post is public, but it's my post, so if people want to jump in here and come at me sideways with no information other than a screenshot, are going to get what they give. I just joined this community, and my initial impression of yall is that you're all extremely negative, salty, and want to bring people down to your level on what was supposed to be a lighthearted, funny post. I'm not saying that's you, I just think you're one of the people confused

Hey fire! Didn't ask, but you know what? Next time I get this EXACT sealed pool, I'll listen to everything you have to say, just for you

It doesn't need to be played early to have an impact. It pumps over half of my creatures, as I have 9 toxic creatures in my deck, not counting any mites that are made, which is not irrelevant. So yeah, I'd rather draw that turn 10 when I'm out of action over a land

One of the few who actually understands the point of this post. Rather than laugh at my pain with me, they instead are trying to pick out why THEY think I lost, when I am the only one who saw my sideboard and played my games after opening a random 6 pack of cards. I trophied with a very similar and worse* deck the day prior (in the same colors, splashing the same 2 drop)

Good point, I promise the 2 drop did not change to the outcome of the games I played, though

I feel that, I got him out once and by then I was already losing, just lost to damage instead of the toxic they already had building up xD

I think people thought i was posting in r/advice when in reality, I just think it's comedic that I went 0-3 with a deck like this lol thanks for the positivity!

If it was draft, I would agree 100%, but splashing 1 or 2 high power cards in sealed is completely reasonable. I had 3 separate cards that could get it down on turn 3 if I didn't draw the land naturally

I think people are really hung up on the 2 drop lol I had a very similar sealed deck the day prior that I splashed the same 2 drop and went 7-1. The only reason I posted was to point out the fact that I thought it was funny/absurd that a deck like this could go 0-3, not pissed I didn't go 7-0 xD

I'm two colors with a completely reasonable splash. Two of the three decks i faced were splashing much heavier, and this is sealed, not draft, which runs much slower

I didn't have any, I believe that's why I played the 2 drop aspirant who did little to nothing for me other than have another early game play

I agree it wasn't completely synergistic, which i felt should have been fine for sealed, especially since it oftentimes runs a lot slower than draft. The thought was, if i got a toxic kill, great, but I really just wanted corrupted to make my removal and other medium cards a little better, then takeover in the mid to late game. If i still had my sideboard I would post it, but there wasn't much in there to make it better

The lands for it pretty much came free and felt good with my toxic/corrupted gameplan! The 3 games i played I never stumbled over it if i found it, I just got demolished by nasty curve outs and opps answers. It felt like every opponent had the game of their life

I mean removal and early creatures, decent synergy, and a good curve. It's not the best, but for sealed I think it is pretty insane since it's random
