mono-black midrange demon control is so much better than mono-black aggro in standard but I only ever see the latter

After 1 year of cbt doing 4 wins/day I gathered 200 rare wildcards 80 mythic and 300 uncommon/commons. That's 5 decks for likely 300 hours of my life

>>97451501
You could've done like 200 hours of draft over the course of the year and you'd have every card from those sets

>bro why would you play the free mode just buy one draft and go 5+ wins every single time

>>97451515
depends how good he is at draft.
but if you spend 200 hours learning to improve at draft you should get decent enough if you aren't shit at the game.
and honestly learning how to draft is by far the best use of Arena. don't even have to spend any real money, like we used to back in paper the day.
learning to draft is what is actually going to get you good at Magic. if you never draft you'll never be good.

>>97451560
I don't care about Standard and if you remove all the drafted cards as useless junk because 0,1% chance any see Timeless play, doing draft for prizepacks only and going even or slightly better does more harm than good especially with unavoidable 2-3 blowouts spitting in your face.
Flashback draft also feels like hard mode even if you are Silver you get matched with Platinum+, people who drafted it when the set first went live 4 years ago.

constructed events on the other hand is the same format most people want to play anyway so I jam my braindead auras in historic against starter decks to #1 first week for screenshot. Pls be the real one

skill issue

Draft is honestly probably the worst aspect of MtG as a whole and is constantly hamstringing interesting and creative development by funneling at least 80% of their resources into art and printing for dogshit 2/2 vigilance chaff that nobody will ever look at again after prerelease. Every other format is balanced around drafting and is the reason why constructed feels more boring than it should be, like how you’re not allowed to print good mill cards anymore because it makes draftroons sad when their 40 card deck gets dumpstered a la Eldraine limited.

You had me in the first half

>>97451730
I wouldn't recommend flashback drafts for that reason. The player pool is way too small and yeah, you have to have played a bunch of the set when it came out to do well.
'Current set draft' (for the first weeks a set is out) is by far the best format in MTG and has been for many years now.
Also right that Constructoids only play 0.1% of cards. Sets are made for draft. Constructoids get to play 2 cards from each set. Draftgods get to play 200 cards from each set.

>>97452039
It's funny to see some retard complain that mill is too overpowered in draft when that card was so bad it was borderline unplayable in Limited, and EoE wasn't even a fast format.
Just zero understanding of how the game works or what was going on in Eldraine limited.

Yeah a random UW rare that you'll draft one copy of in a set with no other mill cards is exactly the same as consistently getting 5+ copies of Merfolk Secretkeeper at common in a set where blue/black got tons of other mill support, you fucking dope

What are we running for MWM bros?

>>97452000
Draft is the only thing that is somewhat throttling WOTC's urge to print cards that keep standard in a state of turn 3 kill from an empty board.

The first few hours of MWM is always sobering because it shows you just how many people don’t know how to build their own deck, it’s either a gimped version of their usual netdeck that folds because it’s missing half the pieces that make it good, 35 hares/slimes, or depending on the event, whatever optimal meme build that ends up on reddit after a day or two.

should I save 1,000 gold an get the discount draft token or just get 2 pick-2 drafts?

for context I only lost once with a merfolk pick 2 draft deck. Then tried a elf deck in premier draft and proceed only won 2 games before running into 3 kithkin decks in a row that stomped me.

I like draft because I am able to place creatures and not just get constant counter spells and board wipes, but I fear I might just suck at drafting in the non meme drafts.

Sweet 6-3 with this esper deck in my first ecl draft (did a quick draft)
Mvp here definitely the tree
Drum not only makes splashing easy, it has insane synergy with peddler and wellguard, possibly other cards too. Cut a scarecrow for a second drum after winning a game by shitting out fairies with drum + wellguard.
Blight turned out to be better than I thought, especially since you can remove the counters later and get extra payoffs. Maybe was a mistake to not take a bogslither's embrace I got passed.
Overall the format felt balanced and fun, best draft format since tdm imo and I pity >>97464940

>Drum not only makes splashing
Literal sub 100 MMR draftlet,
>Blight turned out
AI generated post, it's as of the shitskin streetshitter said "Banding turned out to be good since you can distribute the damage you get, saars" (not that the 100 MMR draftlet would know what Banding does)
>Overall the format is balaACK
Literally factually confirmed to be the most unbalanced format of the last year you tranny shitskin streetshitter. No one cares about your brown trash player results in trash leagues, draft numbers clearly state the colors and archetypes are ultra skewed to Vivid. You wouldn't know that since in your bracket your brown pigs can't even tell the basic rules of the game - just like you, streetshitting pig tranny.

I don't know bros, I'm starting think that I should just stick with Sealed.
What's the point in drafting properly if all that happens is I go up against my counters all the time.

>>97468269
Kithkin are legit incredible if you manage to get the correct pieces.

I went 7/1 with this lot.

I agree, you should. Sealed is much better for low skill players, especially low skill paypigs, since it feeds paypigs more bombs than they can get in regular draft and it doesn't matter if you splash 3-4 lands for a bomb, low skill pigs will be force fed the right mana.

Sealed is for you!

>>97469388
Dude if you went 0 wins with that list you only have yourself to blame. Though you'd ideally want some better removal than crib swap or morningtide's light.

???

Why would I not do it consecutively? I have never been punished for roping. Here's how you do it
>before you end your turn, put a stop before draw phase
>rope until almost burned out, let the pig play
>except you also put another on the end turn, rope further (make sure you don't go into extras though)
Maximum tilt for piggies, because you still get extra ropes to burn, because it only checks you burning the timer on YOUR turn. So on every piggie turn, you can watch him oink in rage as you burn through 2 ropes for free (or 3 if combat also).

>>97477676
Doesn’t putting that much effort into roping defeat the purpose of roping? Just close the game and get a snack while the pig has to wait

Aven mindcensor would make it so they can pick one of the top 4 cards to put in their hand.
It doesn't cuck them completely, but they'll get way less out if it compared to you.
Mindlock orb works for a proper game lock, but I don't think that card is on arena.
Using fateful handoff or harmless offering to give away Mornsong Aria makes it work with Ashiok, but that's really slow.

>draftlet outs himself
Rank means literally nothing, when I returned to MTGA (for TLA) after not playing for 2 years, I played against better opponents than /mtga/ piggies do in Diamond. I played against "the 800th best draft player in the world" (mythic pig) and I absolutely wiped the floor with him even though I had to outplay the pig algorithm - on the draw, all white, 2x Island only -> 4x Island, all white -> MULLIGAN TO 5, and that was in early January/Platinum.

I played that yesterday as my first draft after the reset, so it was in Gold Tier 4. But you still fell right into my trap and got completely DESTROYED.

Don't even have to comment on the fact that you got absolutely no clue what good cards in ECL are, that was your second outing. In your <200 MMR, you get away with playing actual dogshit like >>97467426, with a braindead curve, unironic Spell Snare (because your addon tells you it's bussin [and you don't read the comment that it's only rated high for Traditional Draft, not quick draft]), DOUBLE mmr-let drum, and only two halfway decent creatures in 2-3 mana. I don't even have to guess that the average turn in your "6-3" went like
>opponent plays nothing, just land pass for first five turns, because he wants to play his 4 lands + 3x 5-6 mana creatures epic opening hand, doesn't draw 5th or 6th land, oh no!
>opponent doesn't block 2/1 attacking because he's afraid you're gonna cast a combat trick that takes out his 1/3 two drop
>he then attacks during his turn with all his creatures into lifelink trees and wonders why your HP is growing larger instead of smaller
aka the average skill level when some pig goes "6-3" in [whatever rank you paid enough money for].

Maybe these new shill kids would know if there are avatars that cannot be obtained at the store with gold/gems, but that just outs them as paypigs and it's something that would only be on the mind of a paypig.

Real paypig outing = anyone who has a draft rank higher than Diamond (even Diamond is suspicious). For constructed, it's 99% of pigs (the numbered ranks contain lots of streamers who are unpaid shills who get the premier customer algorithms as a reward for shilling MTGA, the biggest ones get paid by WotC themselves) in Mythic, Platinum and Diamond is filled with mentally ill f2p wannabes who spend hours and hours playing the worst format in the worst Magic the Gathering game in history (and probably end up spending real-world fake money anyway, but "it doesn't count if I only bought the $$$ best deal for new players!!!" etc).

There is no greater proof of being F2P than getting matched against piggies 2 fake & gay ranks higher and having unplayable hand -> unplayable hand. This is the biggest tactic for MTGA to force wins for pigs. Ultra high MMR players like me know that MTGA is not a card game simulator. If you catch a whiff of your opponent being a pig, you NEVER keep a hand that "only needs X and it's perfect". You need to mulligan (even down to 4, did that once in the Urza set against a Diamond pig) mercilessly until you no longer have a "only needs X to work" hand.

Proof that MTGA shills post here. After I posted >>97488353, one of them identified my in-game account and I got the "Ultra Antisemitic Customer, ZERO ENGAGEMENT Algorithm".

Pic related. It's not a one off, every time I try to find a match I get this. It rolls over back to 0 after 1 hour.

Man my Dimir Midrange is absolutely demolishing this Azorius/Jeskai control decks. I just replaced most removal with counter spells. Simic rapes me though.

Post list? I’ve been tooling around with control but it’s really hit or miss, especially for counterspells with cavern of souls, hexing squelcher and mistrise village in standard. Zero-Point ballad can help with curbing simic early game, but it’s still miserable. Deadly cover-up can remove key pieces but it’s usually too late by then

Yeah Mistrise village fucking sucks. Considering running a Demo Field to deal with it but again, dont want to fuck up my mana base. Honestly its just an inconsistent deck, but it's fun and I enjoy the interaction with it.

>>97490913
Well you'll need an unblocked attacker (at least 1 mana)
Plus Kitsune's Technique (2 mana)
Then drop riverchurn and activate exhaust (6 mana)
So that's a 3 card combo that takes a total of 9 mana, which wins on turn 4 at the earliest, if you leave almost no room for interaction.

I think it could at least be playable in a UB control shell, there’s a handful of 1-drops in UB with evasion like pic related that would get through on T2 unless immediately removed, and even then you could just play control and still have Singularity Rupture if the game goes on that long. Kitsune just opens the possibility for an earlier combo.

Been playing online card games recently (schedule no longer permits me to play paper draft) and while hearthstone has been a fun little ride I kinda do miss magic. Would it be worth it to actually give a fuck about Arena? Ive played on an off for a while but not an awful lot.

Is drafting worth it for collection purposes if you go 0-3 every time, or is it better to just buy packs?

>>97492643
No, you gotta go at least 3-3. The exact threshold depends on how much you value cards vs wildcards.

You can get about 2 quick drafts or 1 premier/traditional draft per week of dailies. If you do well in those drafts then you can obviously sustain it a lot better.

>>97491752
Former Magic the Gathering Arena developer here. I worked on it initially before we got all fired and replaced with Indians. The reason why you don't have replays or any ability to analyze the game post-match is because of how the deck works. Cards aren't generated in your deck until there's something that makes you see them (draw them/scry/surveil, etc.) or put them in play face down. Every card you get is automatically generated based on the state of the game, your current player statistics (whether you need a win or not) and based on your previous misplays.

I haven't seen a SINGLE episode of TLA, and playing with the cards in MTGA convinced me not to watch any, as I can probably extrapolate everything that happened just from the card names. I returned to MTGA for TLA. As in
>TLA
the code used for the airbender set. I saw some channel that normally has no MTGA content in it shill it (because of the cartoon association) and I thought it made for a good draft set and I lucked out because it also swapped with LCI, the last draft set I played previously, immediately after the quick draft ended.

>I can probably extrapolate everything that happened just from the card names
In fact, I'm going to do it right now, since I am about to drop MTGA for the rest of 2026, and I won't remember the set in a week or so.

The two brown kids in blue (Sokka and the cunt rare who instantly ends games the moment she's cast +1 mediocre rare +1 bait uncommon, I forgot her name already) find the bald manlet Avatar, who airbends. There are also other avatars who had more overpowered abilities (the ones on the sagas), except Black. There has never been a Black avatar, so they are represented probably by the guy who turned the "Fire Nation" from a weak oppressed people to an evil militaristic nation because they invented machines or something. The big bad in the current era is the guy who sometimes wins games if you play him for 2BBRR and he doesn't get instantly removed when he haste attacks). That guy is the father of the Zuko guy, who starts of evil and wanting to kill bald Avatar, but then because his "heckin' wholesome granddad" he learns that he always loses to bald Avatar team (Team Rocket style) because he's too mean and has a mean hairstyle. He lets his hair grow and works in an inn (Honest Work). Then he becomes friends with the rest of them. He has a sister who is also evil, and unlike him she doesn't become good (the BRU archetype cunt whose rare almost always loses the game by forcing bad colors on the player who played her). She and Zuko fight (Destined Confrontation) while the kids take out the big bad guy. In order for them to invade the Fire Nation, they meat the Kyoshi women warriors (strong independent empowered), who were probably overrepresented on white cards and WOTC milked the shit out of them. Before the final arc, they have wacky adventures on the "Earth Continent" which is filled with diversity (I got that from the loading screen) and lots of filler content villain of the weeks (all the BG archetype cards).

>>97493604
Also, the two blue kids have a nice grandmother (Gran-Gran) who is nice and good because she is an old woman. And they have a mean grandpa (not blood related to them), Master Pakku, who is conservative (that's why his card mechanic revolves around milling, the old and busted way for blue to win that no one plays anymore). There is also the blue-black archetype which is about BLOODbending which is a spooky scary superpower of waterbending, which 9/10 times felts whoever plays it in draft.

And the "funny diversity" Earth Contintent is also filled with "funny and creative unique animals" who are created by taking two animals from our world and mixing them together. How brilliant. Also the bald kid's team rides around on a flying walrus or something, which gets almost killed in the final arc (Heartless Act reskin) but then it's okay and comes out unscathed because it's a children's cartoon.

Any questions?

>>97493627
>comes out unscathed because it's a children's cartoon.
Oh and maybe the guy you can sacrifice to make all allies indestructible with vigilance gets killed, Obi Wan style, but I doubt it. And there's also that Thot from the Earth Kingdom who is only in the filler arc and doesn't help them in the final arc for some reason.

>>I haven't bought one since 2020, when I realized it gives me nothing of value for my gems

I even added that specifically because I remember how you mentally ill shills always claimed Mastery Pass buyers were pigs, from /mtgag/ (real /mtgag/, not 1 poster (me) vs 5 shills /tg/ version) days. I guess in your WotC Shill Guidebook.pdf, you are told that "accuse anyone who owns gems of being a pig", and you follow it like braindead sub 80 IQ sheep, but there isn't anybody who's REAL F2P who can't earn enough gems to buy at least a mastery pass. I already established ITT that I am *ONLY* playing draft and that I am the best draft player in history of /mtgag/, so of course I learned thousands and thousands of gems during my career. I have so many of them I could literally just throw away an account filled with gems right now if I wanted to.

And once again all the shills instantly evaporate when they get felted. Their generative AI algorithm cannot handle the genuine *NT* arguments and they have to be restarted by the Bangalorians.

>>97493492
sounds good, I think I will play historic for a bit before I hit the drafts. Not opposed to actual structured decks but I was never a fan of standard.

Retards arguing about how you play the game are hilarious. We are so far past the point of mattering if you buy the gems or not. Youre like a decade behind the state of the game lmao absolute morons.

Shill (AI bot) read my post and is now, as usual, dodging like a little bitch. F2P Gods like me have ~20k gems which they never use on anything. I could post a screenshot, but MTGA shill bots cannot analyze the content of screenshots, as we established earlier.

Concession accepted. You will never silence me, shill. I am the greatest F2P god in history of these dogshit threads.

yeah but have you ever been top mythic constructed

>>97495396

Painter's Servant got downshifted from Mythic to Rare in a collective effort to bottleneck Rares even harder. And Reddit praises them for doing so too.
You need to craft 300 playable Mythics across all formats that slot into meta decks meanwhile Rares is like 3000 but uhh I only get 1/5th of those so this totally adds up.

Moonmist is the obvious route, but that’s not standard legal if that’s what you’re aiming for. Making that happen in standard is going to be a nightmare

Im not an ultra experianced drafter. I have 50ish at this point only started with tarkir. One thing that ive been thinking of is, how bad would it be to kinda just draft multicolor good stuff? I know I would get run over by very fast things but... what if I just had tons of mana fixing and all the good cards from many colors? Terrible idea? Or is the kinda thing that actually is a thing under specific circumstances. And if so which?

4-5c slop CAN work but like mono color, it's very situational. You're almost always gonna be better off going 2-3 color. It only works in formats like tdm with copious amounts of fixing and payoffs that make it worth it, and even then, you need to actually be passed both parts. Haven't really seen 4-5c at all since tdm; most formats including ecl just don't have the right cards to support it. If you can make it work I tip my hat to you.

>>97496671
Very rare for that to be a reliable good strat for a set. Even in 3c sets like Tarkir you're generally focusing on 2c and then splashing a third. There are exceptions, like I remember doing pretty well with 4c sultai + temur decks that just ground out games from the graveyard, but it requires a bunch of fixing. Sometimes when there's a specific archetype that enables fixing it can be a lot stronger, like way back in AFR we had BR treasures, which was good by itself but also allowed you to easily splash for bombs that you opened. But sometimes even those archetypes suck, like vivid in ECL.

Just got back into the physical game recently after a 10+ year absence. Bought packs from a couple different shops the past few weeks. Not sure if this question is addressed anywhere, but the foil cards are all WARPED to a practically unplayable state. Even an entire "collector booster" I splurged on. Aren't these supposed to be the premium cards?!? Has WOTC addressed this officially?

>>97498393
yes. print quality has gone up and down rapidly in the past ten years. Second hand won't improve it either. just get a heavy book and wait a week, its not that big of a deal.

I'm sure I can flatten them out adequately. It's just outrageous to me that they can charge $25 dollars for a pack that is completely warped. My curiousity is just if this is a regular occurence that people just deal with it.

torture machine
wincon is shuffling your graveyard back into your library infinitely until your opponent quits

cant decide if i want to make dimir excruciator, rakdos monument or izzet elementals next
my only deck right now is izzet lessons so elementals is the easiest to make since i have the whole mana base already but i dont think i want to play that deck
between excruciator and rakdos discard which is a better deck into the bo3 ranked meta? dont really care about playing the absolute best deck but are either of them too tournament anti meta specific or something?

>>97502433
elementals seems fun from what i've seen. How does excruciator even win though? I've seen the lists for it and as far as I can tell you reanimate excruciator and you just have to hope you already drew/didn't exile enough answers to not die for six more turns, or hope you have one of the "opponent draws 2" cards to shorten the clock? it seems like a crapshoot even after you get excruciator off

>>97502547
any sort of mill puts them on a 2-3 turn timer to win, the most common being restless reef
i think the idea is that your early hand hate puts them too far behind on their plan to be in a good spot when the excruciator comes down but if they already have a strong board presence then yea the mill plan doesnt really work

my main hesitation on the elementals deck is that i first started playing the 0 rare izzet lessons deck with eddymurk/terror so i got kind of tired of that game plan and this new deck just seems like the same thing but faster

Just getting back into M:TG. Is it wrong that my favorite thing to play is blue/black milling my opponent to death and removing their graveyard?
