by the way, if you don't want to do evil blue grindfests in the event but still want the cards, try something like this i found on god knows where on twitter the zombie is based off of the original card cost so mascot interception gives you a 4/4 army! i didnt even know that card existed! but like i say, not fun to just have siphon insight steal the thing that makes you win that they didn't put in their deck. not fun at all i think i went even with it, but didnt keep track. remember you can buff their army if you own it for more attack, and you can cast steal effects on your own army to give it haste.

Do you really think this is anything other than a malicious tantrum? Some of you never had to shake hands with a sportsball team that just curb stomped you and all your boys and it shows. They won, you didn't. Some ppl have war in their countries... My favorite part of all this is that what boils some of y'alls noodles to the point of acting out for extended period of time literally doesn't register to most of us and you still won't make the effort to see if it really is you that is the miscreant and not a forum full of bullies gassing you up for fun on a Sunday.

Also, even in open play I see the same five decks over and over so it's not like everyone else agrees with you that it's for funsie new stuff. (GW life gain, gb sac, UR, elves, wrath tribal, and colorless scoop to aggro. Ok there's 6 decks. Somehow though when I play shrines I get paired in mirrors, never when playing zombies)

I have a real problem. It is when my opponent is playing goblins, drops a skirk prospector, then proceeds to be terrible at passing priority for the rest of the game. To say I suffer greatly would be an understatement.

Surely there is a middle ground between "MTGA is the only respite I have between running through bombed out rubble to find food and water for my family" and "if I'm losing an unranked game I am going to make sure my opponent has to spend 30 minutes to extract a single win from me"

Got the MtG itch again after being off Arena since like M20 and I think I wanna start dabbling in Historic. Is the only way to get the special Historic-only cards to craft them with wild cards? I thought they were released in bundles you could buy individually? Or maybe I’m totally misremembering. If it’s wild cards only, what’s a good post-M20 set to drop some money on if I wanna focus on Historic? Are any of them particularly dense with Historic staples?

Bragging about roping your opponent ITT should be probable, it’s lovely behavior and only ever gets posted seemingly to stir the pot or kick the hornet’s nest and drum up a bunch of hot-headed responses. We get it, you’re bad at magic and can’t handle your feelings about it so you get mad and wanna take it out on a stranger you’ve never met because they beat you at a child’s card game. None of that is normal or healthy, and it definitely makes you into a massive loser, but we get it.

After extensive testing with emry, fiddlebender and paradox engine I have concluded that 1. it would be way easier if you didn't need to keep two 2 toughness creatures alive for multiple turns and 2.the level of bullshit that it pulls is multiplied exponentially by Tome of the Infinite. I just "won" a game against a goblins deck with 2 chieftains, krenko and 4 tokens on the board when I was a two life. Two turns later they had nothing on board, 37 life and I was at six, with two fogs in hand and 24 cards in my graveyard 4 of which were originally in my deck.Traitorous Leopard posted:Got the MtG itch again after being off Arena since like M20 and I think I wanna start dabbling in Historic.

There were some anthology collections but they were for a limited time. You can buy packs but that's a waste of gold so yeah, wildcards.

Is the only way to get the special Historic-only cards to craft them with wild cards? I thought they were released in bundles you could buy individually? Or maybe I’m totally misremembering.  warning: long effort post incomingthere were historic cards released in special "historic anthology" sets which you could buy in bundles, but there were also events called "jumpstart" which introduced new cards into arena. those cards could only be acquired by playing the jumpstart event (basically you choose two precons with one or two rares each and combine them into a deck, the contents of which were added to your collection) or by spending WC's. (one fucky thing is that the second jumpstart added some modern horizons 1 and 2 cards but these aren't searchable in the collection search interface, you need to manually type set:mh1 or set:mh2 into the search bar to see these) if you're looking to buy packs specifically to break into historic, there's no real "best" set in terms of staples. most tier 1 decks use cards from all across the arena card pool. the real benefit to cracking packs is accruing wildcards, especially rare wild cards; opening six packs completes the "wildcard wheel" and nets you a guaranteed rare/mythic wc and uncommon wc, plus there's a chance you get bonus WCs of any rarity in any pack. that being said, eldraine and ikoria are probably the most dense in terms of historic-usable rares but only by a very small percentage. my personal recommendation is to open standard packs, or better yet, draft the current set, because you get the same amount of WCs as packs from any other set, and WCs are the real bottleneck for constructed decks on arena; plus, by getting standard legal cards from the packs you open, it opens up the opportunity to play one last thing. A new format, alchemy, was introduced with a special anthology-esque collection of online-only cards with essentially hearthstone-lite mechanics, e.g. "put a random creature card of any on arena into your hand." these cards can currently only be created by using WC's, and not only are they legal in historic, but they've significantly impacted the metagame. wotc is also starting to apply monthly online-only balance updates to both these cards and real life standard-legal cards—these balance updates apply to the arena-only formats, which are alchemy and historic (and their derivatives). What this means is that if you craft a card, know that 1) you get the rebalanced version, for use in historic and alchemy, in addition to the paper version, for use in standard, and 2) wotc does NOT (currently) provide wildcard refunds for rebalanced cards. You may craft a card only for its text (in historic and alchemy) to be changed with the next update, and you're out those resources. Craft at your own risk. now somebody stick this in the op so I don't have to type it all out again
