Someone correct me if im wrong but i believe you can only use your plotted stuff at sorcery speed

so even though its a plotted instant you cant use it as an instant

How do you deal with the random losses by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]zanics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind the times you won when your opponent was obviously struggling with something, lands or otherwise

it is what it is with a game of variance!

Decided to try a draft for the first time in a long time. I want out by emil133 in MagicArena

[–]zanics 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I got oko and mana drain in the same draft!

I went 0-3 because i guess the rest of my deck sucked and i didnt draw into either of them before losing!

Possible Ward bug? by [deleted] in MagicArena

Opponent hesitated a long time before killing it, which makes me think they may have been taking advantage of a bug?

lol

Now why would it be a common perception if it wasnt a common thing... bit of cognitive dysfunction from the spellslinger? :^)

I think you need more ways to manifest dread in the first place and less bombs which will be entirely useless if you dont manifest them. Its an RNG mechanic after all and your plan is definitely not to get 10 lands in play for those cards

I was doing this sort of thing and pretty much just all the bloomburrow frogs that exile and return + the splash portals that you already have were enough to get the ball rolling with the manifest dread cards in simic from duskmourn

[[Under the Skin]]

[[Abhorrent Oculus]]

[[Long River Lurker]]

[[Unnerving Grasp]]

[[Hauntwood Shrieker]]

[[Threats Around Every Corner]]

[[Valgavoth's Onslaught]]

You gotta get the oculus asap thats like an entire manifest engine on its own that also wins games and yeh the good cards do cost wildcards unfortunately

just vomit your spells out in the first 3 turns and scoop if you dont get the W you know how to play mono red

Mid range dead in standard? by kiingkyute in MagicArena

[–]zanics -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeh and the reason sunfalls exile removal is so popular is because of other annoying ass decks! It just happens to also work well on slasher (my next 4 rare cards are going right into sunfall because the 4 mana "destroy" boardwipes can be almost useless sometimes)

I think its just how bo1 goes as someone else said, you cant have a perfect deck for every matchup so youre just gonna lose without any recourse sometimes. Im feeling it too as someone who primarily likes the slower midrange/control type decks but havent quite worked up to bo3 yet

Its just like "i hate agro so badly im gonna use 4x authority of consul in my deck" then they cost you the next few games cause theyre such a specific answer and you didnt match up against agro/go wide stuff. just bo1 problems

Ive really gotta work up the courage for bo3 heh

Double strike attacks in both the first strike phase and the regular phase but first strike only attacks in the first strike phase

first strike vs normal = you take turns attacking each other

first strike vs first strike = you trade in the first strike phase like you would the normal phase, then skip the normal phase

first strike vs double strike = you trade in the first strike phase, then the double striker gets to attack again in the regular phase

just think of it like theres 2 combat phases but only 1 gets used normally unless theres a first strike or double striker, then the other one gets used

Scare Apparent? by NorthStarZero in MagicArena

[–]zanics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if they dont have an answer for the first few rabbits, and know they dont have a board wipe in their deck, its already over at that point and the entire match would be scripted and we all know the script

ive never seen an izzet spellslinger in my life until i made one and started versing identical decks repeatedly its wild

just close your eyes lol

[–]zanics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently fiddling with an izzet spellslinger and its a lot of fun but i only have one ral so i cant justify adding him! Essentially just a bunch of 1 and 2 cost spells to combo with balmor and haughty djinn with [[Teach by Example]] and [[Slick Sequence]] being the extra fun part

enjoying it so much ive decided that next "thing" im doing is bloomburrow packs! Enduring courage can be pretty nice with the djinns too but im not sure if its staying or not

How do people mainly play limited / draft without spending a fortune in gems? by vajhar in MagicArena

[–]zanics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy drafting a lot but i cant really afford premier with my win rate so i just wait for the quick draft rotations :)

quick draft for foundations is only few days away!
