Captain Invictus posted:that's the case for basically any "your deck can have any number of x", isn't it? Yeah probably, and the people that want these cards don't actually care if they're GOOD or not, so there's little reason to make them overpowered.

Looks like MTGA is having some issues just now. I was playing in a draft league and after winning my game I was disconnected after the "victory" screen, when I came back the win wasn't there. Now there's a service disruption notice up. Just FYI if you're in an event.

I had a terrible limited beat recently where my opponent had just dropped a Vein Ripper as their last card, I managed to Extract a Confession on it, one of my last removals, and then they top decked another loving Vein Ripper the next turn. I eventually also killed the second but the life pings were too much to deal with Definitely high on the tilt list haha. Had to take a break from drafting for a while after that one

Reminder that most players in this thread have pretty good luck with bug submitting for anything that disrupts an event, wotc often reimburses the entire entry fee, even if it's just "cat knocked my internet cable out and I went 6-3 instead of 8-2" Doesn't hurt to ask, the game can be mad expensive and they make bank off us.

Apart from all the artifact synergies on display (including a Filched Falcon case), they also had Aurelia (hence the W splash) which they showed me as the one card in the Intrude on the Mind piles. Gave them four cards instead. Didn't matter.

Sorry, I phrased that imprecisely. The cards aren't exclusive, the cycle is, in that it's just two unrelated cards from different sets in paper Magic, that the Arena team has made into a cycle by adding more cards with similar effects, each in a different color.

Flashing in a wandering emperor to save a planeswalker that'll ult next turn from sheoldred's edict: insanely cool. (Specifically it was quintorious quinn with a chandra, hope's beacon and a lightning helix that she could then copy in the graveyard for lethal.)

Wandering Emperor and Sheoldred are annoying but fine IMO, Sunfall is incredibly oppressive. There are like 3 other white sweepers at 5 mana or less in standard and Farewell has exile at 6, but the combo of 3WW and exile for Sunfall is brutal. IDK if it's banworthy but I definitely hate playing against it.

IDK if it's banworthy but I definitely hate playing against it. The main issue with Sunfall is it leaves a (probably pretty big) body behind for the defender. If it was just the exile it'd be merely annoying, but being a win con on its own is just the worst.

Did two MKM Premiers but they were just very mediocre, an Esper-ish one that just ended up in a terrible deck, 1-3; and a pretty standard Gruul build, a few morphs, four (!) Tin Street Gossips, and that nothing special deck went 3-3. I did another draft this evening, and, uh, didn't really find a clear lane but I found something. I passed like three Dog Walkers and was kicking myself for not getting into that deck, it was never open so far and I did start with Kellan and Evidence Examiner... https://www.17lands.com/draft/34994721e8c24534868ba4c41da6d59e  This is a tentative build, where I'm basically just splashing the Cadaver to have a better chance of solving Guildpact (note that Killer Among Us gives every color but B). I noticed that despite the wild looking mana symbols, and my array of fixing I only really need U and G. Therefore, I could also splash R and simply play powerful cards like the Codebreaker, Chase is On, and perhaps Wordsoul's Rage. What do you guys think?

WST has its uses if the deck is built for it, but sunfall is absolutely way more broadly applicable.

Yeah I'd forgotten about the incubate. I do think the exile is relevant though, graveyard matters has been a big theme in recent sets and incidentally hosing that on a card that also wipes the board and gives you a suwin con seems a bit much. I've been playing white control lately and it's pretty noticeable how much better Sunfall is than the several other sweepers you have access to.

It's wild how you can build a new deck and suddenly you're up against much less threatening opponents. I appreciate the matchmaker cutting me a break, I just wish there was a little more transparency as to why my other jankass garbage piles are getting thrown to the drat wolves.

So I just got first time diamond a few days ago, and now I got to mythic on the alchemy ladder!!! Using the mono black vampire deck I posted with a only one change: -1 Eternal Thirst +1 Bitter Triumph Born in Bexhill posted:Deck: Vamp Tramp Stamp I encourage anyone who wants to make mythic to go for it on the alchemy ladder, some of the games were close but others were a joke! Never seemed to face an over-tuned net deck (except for one Slogurk). I pretty much could beat everything thrown my way with the exception of Ubrask’s Forge, that card wrecked my deck unless I could get a Vein Ripper out in a timely fashion. Seriously, way easier than I thought and I guess it helped that I played very early before the west coasters had their coffee!

 Hothouse in Enchantments is busted, egad. Still almost won the game, but this was how just about every one of their last four turns went - going from an empty board sans a few sagas to a fiesta. Not sure if I've just been killing Enchantment decks before they had a chance to pop off like this, but first time I've seen this particular flavor of it.
