Pretty fun to turn all your tricks into kill spells when oppo plays Horobi.

I would not recommend playing it in general.

I have definitely won at least one game I wouldn't've because they played a Horobi.

I ended up winning one of my pre-release matches because they played that guy while being up anyway most of the game and it *just* got them to zero thanks to it.

Just 7-0'd with UW. Turns out Invasion of New Phyrexia is um, really really good. Also pulled Norn and one of every good white/blue card effectively.

Was a little disappointed (though always grateful, gems wise) that it went up against a good number of absolute clunker decks.

Not playing it tonight because sleep is healthy, but sank the winnings into another draft and I guess I get to do this all over again – this time with a knight theme.



Isn't gonna be as tight as the previous all-the-good-blue-cards deck, but looking forward to putting all me eggs in this knight basket.

Filter Out was a huge dud last time I ran it, but gonna give it one more shot. Next time it sits in the hand doing nothing it gets the ax.

Yeah it resets your emotes on reconnect.

its quite annoying like that, i usually want to throw out a "sorry" or something because its often a crash right at the start of the game and ive just wasted their time "stalling" but you cant even apologise

Not so much resets as disables, the bug where it would lose your saved ones is long gone.

You get two bonus sheets! One is some random standard cards geared towards edh, the other has some of the most powerful creatures ever printed! Both will have equal effect on a draft environment, I'm sure

There definitely are some good cards in the Aftermath set, unanswered turn 2 Ayara's Oathsworn just prompted me a turn 3 concession from OP.

Welp that was 2/3 :(

Match 5 drawing 5 spells and ten lands in the top fifteen did not feel good.

Copperguard Vanguard and Adeline is wicked. UW Knights is a really fun deck, and it might actually be a thing if they make a decent 1cmc W/B knight in the upcoming sets.

Shuffler is being worse for me than usual today. Every other game getting mana screwed on 2-3 lands with decks running 24.

New Ob "korvold at home" is pretty good. Ash was brewing a deck around the infinite combo will all will be one yesterday and it looked like great fun.

There is also an explorer version, in case you want to show people the true meaning of explorer in the event while also trying new cards.

I forgot how intensely aggro GW Angels are in Explorer lol, clean 4-0 today.

I haven't revisited this in a few sets... I put in one of the new Sigarda since I had that lying around and swapped removal from March of Otherworldly Light to Lay Down Arms since that seems more efficient. (Maybe Ossification instead?) I dunno if there are other things worth doing... Maybe that artifact angel with touch the spirit realm or scrollshift?

you can click the arrow next to a card in your collection and expand its styles, which you can favorite with the heart icon

card reprints of different rarities are considered different cards, not different cards styles edit: wrong. But you have to be careful when importing decks, because The game isn't smart enough to substitute in printings of cards you own when the copied list calls for another

This works for lands (and apparently not even all lands), but not regular cards. For example, I'm looking at Eiganjo, Seat of the Empire, and there seems to be no way to default to the Japanese art of it.

I think for different styles in the same set, you need to instead go to the styles menu within your collection, to set that set's particular style to default? It's one of the buttons near the zoom when you're in the collection. The one for lands is technically the Preferred Printing feature which Styles kind of go on top of.

yeah, the problem is that there are preferred printings (which you use the arrow UI for) and preferred arts (which you need to click through for)

use the toggle at the top here, after clicking on a card with multiple art styles:


and then on this view you can pick the style you like and hit 'select' on the bottom, and that'll be the new default:


it's real clumsy and there've been arts that i didn't even know i had until i stumbled across them + i think i have an afternoon of going through my entire collection ahead of me one of these days, but you can still do it

edit: the one that sticks out to me is this art i've always hated for luminous bonds. turns out i had a real sweet looking borderless alt art all this time


just don't ask me when the next time i'll ever have luminous bonds in a deck will be

See, I thought that was how it worked, but I set the Eiganjo to my preferred one, close out the collection or deck builder (I tried with both) and tried to make a new deck, and it once again defaulted to the latest style I got, which is not the one I prefer. It's such a stupid thing but goddammit I want to see these cool arts without having to manually choose them!

flatluigi
Apr 23, 2008

here come the planes
the two questions I have are:
did you click 'apply styles' in the deck list because that works for me when things are stuck like that
have you done this recently because when the art picker first dropped you couldn't pick styles, just printings

Seems like pretty standard UB. Playing Rankle is probably out of my reach but I wonder if it's a stretch to splash some red... the maindeck seems pretty focused as it is, though. I remember Unseal + Skaab being enough to win some games in the past, and there are other angles too
