The token is legendary so you won't have those issues. Though I guess if you copied the original, you could sac the original and keep the token and get the 4 exiled tokens back. Sac'ing the copy wouldn't do anything since it has no 'memory' of any artifacts exiled to bring it into play.

Played in my first ever LGS draft event, went 2-1 after cracking open the Jugan saga and the white mythic dragon in two packs. Stuffed a bunch of doggies in there to make sure I ended up finding my bombs and then proceeded to draft every saga I came across. I dropped the first set cause dude played me to a stalemate with the BR artifact deck, he pumped out a ton of constructs every turn that shut off any way for me to bust through with my bangers. That went on until he pulled the 10 direct damage red card as the last card in his deck. (We only got one game in during that set due to the board stalling out.) Good play on his part, just a bit dull/frustrating. Super fun overall though! Plan on heading back a couple more times during this set. whiggles fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Feb 22, 2022 |

Determining what stays relevant and what becomes invalidated by your draw (usually not much since you're stalled) instantly becomes pretty important if you want to finish the match. Some assholes at my prerelease took a round 15 minutes past time just to tie 0-0-1

Yeah, I was definitely struggling to determine if I had a way in once the board became filled with a mess of spirits and constructs and make shift tokens. Once I felt confident I did not have an opening to attack it went more quickly from turn to turn. My biggest regret was rushing myself too much near the end and as a result I missed a possible opening to buff a trampler with Jugan that could have busted through the line. The guy I was playing with was very seasoned and moved very quickly so I felt a bit intimidated. Good reminder to keep that in check. Possibly even concede earlier on so there's a chance I could still take the second match. A lot to consider in the heat of battle!

The only time I’ve been high mythic was when I played Lukka Fires with Agent of Treachery and then never got there again ever so I’m convinced it was just the deck was OP

Your ranking is also not your MMR and the two are not connected at all (MMR is invisible). This means if you really wanted to it's pretty easy to just concede a lot of games at a rank where you won't get demoted for losing until your MMR is like -7000 and then winstreak your way to Mythic trivially since you're only getting paired against the absolute worst player possible even if you're at high Diamond.

Here's hoping the ukiyo-e full art lands can continue to drop in price. There's no way these things can hold onto prices over a 50 cents each, right? They would still be more expensive than the Zendikar Rising full art lands, and this seems like a set people will buy in greater quantities. The Shie Nanahara swamp is better than any of the John Avon swamps, I think. https://scryfall.com/card/neo/298/ja/swamp

Are there any good resources (both for learning and buying cards) geared towards younger players? My son is 5 and just massively getting into the game but we're learning it together as I've never played before. EDIT: Also I played a bit online via MTG:Arena and whilst eventually I was able to consistently beat the bots, on my first online match I was annihilated (naturally). I don't mind losing but the opponent's deck was basically incomprehensible to me, displaying multiple mechanics I'd never seen before. How steep is the learning curve here? Instant EDIT: Are the quests in MTG:Arena bugged? I can't seem to progress one that wants me to play Red & Green cards to unlock a Blue & White deck.

The full art lands of Theros are $1ish, with plains cheaper. Those were 1 per pack, and as far as I’m aware, it’s been pretty stable at that price. These are 1 per 3 packs and probably more place popular. I think the nicer ones will stay above $2

I mean age 5 is pretty young, my 9 year old son though routinely beats the poo poo out of my casual commander group with his Gishath deck even though I still have to help him shuffle

I agree at 5 being too young. They need to be able to read at near-adult speed to have the actual mechanics of the game stick in their heads while they play. 9-10 was about right for my oldest. I tried with her when she was 6-7 and I could see her getting really frustrated wanting to please me but struggling to keep up, so I dropped it. I didn't want it to become, "the game daddy plays that makes me frustrated." She plays arena with me now and has a good time. I'm sure there's some exception to that rule for gifted 5-7 year olds, but being a fast, smooth reader is the trick.

luminarch aspirant probably should go as even its nerfed version is pretty great and is one of the reasons why mono-w is still the best deck in standard (along with brutal cathar). it seems to be the main reason why enchantments isn't running away with the meta entirely, though, and if they're gonna hit that deck at all weaver of harmony is probably not very long for the world but it's way too early to call for bans on the selesnya enchantment deck imo

I don't think either deck has been all that great in bo3 since kami i was looking at untapped's stats for bo1 and bo3 but there's unfortunatelly a lot less data for bo3 and most of it seems to be the same decks from the previous meta (but it still has mono-w as the best deck plat to mythic, followed by selesnya landfall and naya aggro)

I thought it was obvious that Cannonneer would be good in Legacy/Vintage and also is it a problem? Maybe if the meta becomes entirely 8cast for whatever reason but I don't think a giant beater with no evasion pushes it over the top.
