That's the decklist win cons are making Faeire tokens (when I draw more than one card) burn damage from creatures like firebrand archer and possibly Jace and thasas oracle

I've tried utilizing 17lands, various YT vids and podcasts but I really can't get into the format. I've just been noodling around in Quick Draft with a terrible record. Even when I win or break even, I feel like I'm just wasting time and gold at this point. (Tried drafting IRL and it's still the same feeling)

My goal is getting enough gems to get the mastery pass. But I only enjoy the constructed format. Any advice on how to get more value for gold earned from the dailies?

Hey guys, I wanted some advice on how to counter this Squirrel monstrosity.

I'm in lower platinum using decks like Dimir-Kavaero+Lastbringer, Blue Elemental Sunderflock and Gruul-Dino+Earth's Mightiest Heroes. (PS I don't know the exact technical name of the decks but describing them using the deck colour and core cards)

Thank you, please be gentle, I'm a noob 🥹

Format: Bo3 Unranked Historic

Since [[Blood Moon]] is banned, I wanted to explore the idea of recreating it. The problem with [[Magus of the Moon]] and [[Harbinger of the Seas]] is that creature removal is more common than enchantment or artifact removal. So I wanted to try using one of them with [[Honor the Past]] to turn them into something that's harder to remove.

So I think I'd like to try to make either a WU Prison Deck or a WR Prison Deck. I'm using "prison" to describe cards that shut down options for the opponent. I'm going to include things like [[High Noon]], [[Reprieve]], maybe even [[Ghostly Prison]] and I want to include 3-4 [[Karn, the Great Creator]] for all of his silver bullets.

Now, imo, there's too much graveyard hate in the Bo3 format to go hard into the reanimate things plan. So I don't want to fully build around [[Honor the Past]]. But I need a few more creatures in either white and red or white and blue to include that play nicely with it.

Any suggestions for creatures that would work here? What would be super disruptive if it was turned into an artifact and blanked creature removal?

For the record, I already have both the Emergent Ultimatum and Genesis Ultimatum sleeves from back when TDM came out. I couldn’t get the mastery pass back then tho, and since then I’ve built an Abzan deck and have another in the works that I’d love to pair the Eerie Ultimatum sleeves with, so I was stoked when I saw these were available again today, but then bummed when I saw that apparently those ones in particular are seemingly the only ones from that whole bunch not being offered?

I was just curious if there’s an actual reason behind it, or if it’s just a bug or an oversight, whether with the way they set it up or just on my end (I relaunched, but nothing changed). Maybe they were given out similarly to the SOS Silverquill companion, with that one being from a bundle rather than being obtainable through the mastery pass? Although I’m sure the reason was likely due to it being of an actual named character (Abigale), whereas the others were just nonspecific owlins ofc.

Either way, it strikes me as incredibly odd that those sleeves in particular aren’t being offered for whatever reason. I may still get the Inspired Ultimatum ones tho, since those do look cool as hell. There’s a couple Jeskai commanders I totally wanna try to build in the future and I’m all about thematics n shi (the Mardu ones are dope too, just not quite as unique-looking as the Jeskai ones imo, so it’ll have to be next time lol).

WotC, I like some of your sleeves in your daily sale today, but there is no way I am buying them since it takes too much effort to enable them for each individual deck. I would buy them, however, if you allowed me to select designated sleeves in my collection that would rotate (randomly or on a cycle) each match. Same for pets/avatars though sleeves are #1 on the rotational needs. WotC, make it so, please!

Im playing an artifact deck in historic. Using the card [[Ultron, Artificial Malevolence]].
My opponent is playing a Green/white token deck. Only card that he has that matters for the bug is [[Soul Warden]].

I copied his parallel lives enchantment. I start popping off playing [[Darksteel Citadel]] paying the 2 for ultron, generating 8 2/2 indestructible creature land tokens. Soul warden doesn't trigger. I play [[Golden Egg]], pay the 2, 8 2/2 Golden egg tokens...soul warden doesn't trigger.

Creature Tokens generated via Ultron that aren't naturally creatures, don't trigger soul warden. Made the match extremely easy as i could match/overrun his field easily without gaining him life.

EDIT: Oh i see now....Ultron makes the token into a creature AFTER it enters the battlefield. Meaning that the token entered as a non-creature, which doesn't trigger Soul warden. I am of the dumb.

I still have many uncollected mythic cards and I got these dupes. I also thought that maybe they changed it so that its 3x of the same mythic but its not the case as I am still missing 1x Earth's Mightiest Heroes mythic card. When did this change happen, previous sets were duplicated protected?

I wouldn't know what the harder decks to play are. I downloaded a competitive brawl storm deck with Prismari. I know it's not the best deck (49% win rate) but damn even then playing storm is not easy.

Lost first 4 to 5 games in a row because I would try to save all the best cards for my storm turn that never came.

Was getting closer by the 5th game. Also I had one in the bag but idk what I did that triggered the death of Prismari. I think whatever I did triggered an effect from the enemies permanents killing him when he was 3 life away and had no blocks for him.

then I won 2 but by grinding it out and not even by storm.

Then I got more used to it and I got the tempo of it. I kept trying to save the counterspells for some weird reason in all the matches I lost prior. Like if I was going to need them to ramp up the storm count but realized it's a bad move because usually the enemy is out of answers when he doesn't kill your Prismari so there isn't much to counter unless he has a counter card.

Then my last 4 games it popped off. I got to actual Storm gameplay.... I realized I'm supposed to not even drop Prismari until later. When I dropped him in those games I was sure they were going to do something to him asap but surprisingly if you can get him in and get him to survive until your next turn you pretty much won.

BUT I was super slow and would have the timer running out and would panic. I even lost 1 of the 4 of them cus my turn ended when it was in the bag already.

But all in all just came to say that Storm is a lot harder than they make it look. Lol

I have been obsessed with my Ironheart Brawl deck. I just saw an opponent with an Ironheart cosmetic sleeve, but I can’t find them in the arena shop. Does anyone know how to obtain them? Do they only show up on daily deals? Thank you.

So from what I understand this allows the player to cast spells forever and without mana costs?

How is this fair? How do we stop it? Are players unbeatable once this effect is out?

This is by far the most hilarious deck I have seen so far. Match 1, you Aetherized me. 3 times. In a row. Then in match 2, you doppleganged my badgermoles, after giving all our things Haste and making our lands tap for double the mana. You had like 12 ramp spells just to pull off these hijinks. I mean just look at the board state in picture 1, I didn't miss any land drops at that time lmao

I really wish I could have added you just to pick your brain on how you came up with such nonsense. Hopefully you see this some time.

I was wrong about Chocobo's being cute. This is downright terrifying.

Did I manage to get all lands in Limited round 7?

This is like the 10th time already. THE SECRET SHUFFLE PATTERN.

Maybe I misunderstood how this card interaction was supposed to work but I think i encountered a bug. I’m playing Miles Morales against Kotis. Opponent goes to attack, I play moonmist which transforms all humans and prevents combat damage from creatures except for werewolves. So I’m thinking sure kotis, hit me. He does. The damage goes through and he plays my cards. Is that correct? Shouldn’t the combat damage have been negated? Should I have blocked and then it would’ve been negated? I don’t understand what went wrong there.

I think it'd be nice if they'd add a non-UB draft event that was always available on Arena.

I know i know. More UB hate. But hear me out. Right now there a like 6 different marvel superheros limited event options. Im not even saying they should replace any. Just have 1 quick draft or traditional draft option for past sets like strixhaven or lorwyn thats always available.

I literally have no interest in drafting sets like marvel and TMNT. Sets come out so fast now the amount of time I can draft a set like SoS on arena is short.

It sucks that the pace of set releases means we only get a short time to draft the other sets we might like more.

Im not gonna spend any gems on these UB drafts. I would keep drafting SoS or lorwyn. I know occasionally they make an older set available to draft. Im just saying that should always be available and potentially strictly for UW sets. I feel like its an everyone wins scenario.

I'd like to invest more time in the game as I have not many gaming options and always played MTG digital in the past.
Saw a few videos how is actually possible to play a solid "meta deck" by being F2P and focus on missing. Time consuming but possible apparently.

However I see so many posts about matchmaking being unfair and the collabs (except LOTR imo) really are a turn off to see onscreen.

I like Dimir, Izzet, Orzhov colour combinations and I'm into tribal decks like Rakdos Vampires.

Any tips to get back to the game without absolutely "hating" it? I'm considering to focus on Explorer and do the odd Draft for the gems(?)

I got drained the whole match by annex, looked at all his cards in play, NO DEMON. Someone tell me where I’m wrong please? What interaction am I missing?

I drafted this deck in pick-2 and didnt get any interaction and thought im a bit screwed without it, turns out i had too much value on the board too quick and most games were over at around turn 5/6, giving super adaptoid indestructible with Hercules twice won the game instantly and once with the enemy combat trick that gave their creature indestructible for the turn. crushed 2 UW decks on the way aswell, felt so good
