Arena being a mobile game means that the devs have a high incentive to be generous with refunds, since the name of the game is "retention, retention, retention" (so they can keep the queues full for the whales who they actually care about). a poor user experience is a threat to that system, but it's also a closed economy. they have your money forever and there's no way to "cash out" unlike in mtgo. So given that, I'd actually expect mtgo to be more stingy with refunds than arena

On MTGO you get back your entry, either tix or PP. I don't know about QPs, as I've never encountered a bug at that level.
Also every time I've filed for comp on MTGO they've given it to me. About four or so times.

They basically refund you, almost immediatly, if anything goes wrong with any draft on arena. You can say a lot of things about arena but if basically anything goes wrong with the client they are very good about just refunding your entry. It doesnt matter if you play out the event either. I have trophied in events I have been refunded for.

I've trophied twice with refund events. It feels really good.

I had a 7-1 run where the -1 was due to a power outage. A quick screenshot of my local utility indicating the power outage got my refund even before the power came back.

I just had my Glamorous Outlaw put into Witness Protection, and then she Faked Her Own Death to come back at full strength. This set is amazing.

Realized this in the other thread while playing with Elspeth:

Oh, the "canonical" Angel is 4/4 flying vigilance but all the angels on New Capenna are just a little short... Elspeth's +1 will make them full power...

And Giada is 2/2 flying vigilance, Revelation of Power brings her up to full power and Elspeth's +1 makes her "Baneslayer Angel", flavor success this set

So I decided that Angels would be my Pioneer deck because it's a PT format now and I'm having an Arena Love Affrair with Giada.

I assume since it's a bunch of lovely angels the deck would be cheap.
Nope.
Youthful Valkyrie, Kald Heim Uncommon? :tenbux:
Resplendent Angel. Otherwise unplayable coreset mythic? 40 Dollars.

angels is one of those tribal decks a bunch of people have as their pet decks and it shouldn't be surprising that the prices spiked now that the deck looks like it's going to be much improved by new capenna

ah gently caress flatluigi got in, but still. I just can't believe that.

It's because they're not in draft boosters (collector number #382)

Youthful Valkyrie is not a “real” uncommon. It was only in theme, set and collector boosters so it is way more rare than a regular uncommon from the set

angels had also been a perfectly fine deck in standard pre new capenna. it certainly wasn't the best option you could go with (especially given its competition in mainly/mono-white) but you could get away with some fun stuff

this is a bit of an obscure request, but does anyone remember the ancient Inquest issue with the story of the inquest editors playing a game of magic using every single card ever made in each deck and have scans of it

I used to have a ton of inquest issues but lost them, might have been recycled decades ago, but I keep occasionally remembering that story and then forgetting it again before I remember to ask about someone maybe posting scans of it, since it was a funny article

Man, Scrye takes me back. Used to get it every month when I played the Decipher Star Wars CCG. I'd see the Magic cards with the "demonic" art :twisted: in it and think "drat, that poo poo looks cool." My gateway into the game.

But isn't MH3 LoTR themed? Am I going to have to worry about a Bilbo Baggins dashing into me every other match?

Wizards said it "isn't focused on Modern like a Modern Horizons set might be" so it's not gonna be MH3 exactly but will be modern- and historic-legal.

The release also says the One Ring will be in the set. Pretty curious to see how that looks.
