Yawgmoth posted:Just gonna drop this back in here because I am still Big "turn on your monitor" energy. (Turn off? I never remember that insult right.) I've 1-3'd my last two drafts, and I did much better in AFR. I need to check 17lands for what I'm doing wrong... during the draft. During the game I'm passing the turn and royally messing up the day/night tracker.

It's probably nothing, but has anyone else remembered that Lorwyn/Shadowmoor also had its main plot point be something messing with the day/night cycle?

fadam posted:I want to try that UR turns deck with a Poppet guy in it. I bought a prerelease kit and built a sealed deck with it for playing at home, and Poppet is really fun. Probably not good enough for any constructed format because it needs to survive a whole turn, but in UB tokens in limited, they priced decayed tokens so cheap that it's easy to get a lethal amount of 3/3s.

https://twitter.com/Kesswylie/status/1450865019206262785 I love this design. Does this mean New Capenna will have DFCs and investigate? Or is this only a super secret special card in set boosters convention edition whatever

Oh, okay. I thought the cards would be re-themed to be part of the set, but I wasn't sure if they'd appear in draft boosters as part of the actual set. I could see investigate being part of the set with some detective-y theme, but I've got DFC-exhaustion.

little munchkin posted:Seems pretty weak to me, it's one of those cards that is a non-bo with itself. It does nothing unless you have good attacks, but spending turn three casting an enchantment means you're not likely to be the one ahead on board. I think it's good in limited, but it's not a card to play on curve. Mid-to-late game when both players are topdecking, maybe there's some good attacks if your creatures have trample, etc. There's no use trying to argue with me, I'm mostly trying to talk myself into not feeling as bad when my opponent lands this and I watch them rip my best cards off the top of my deck. Like the opposite of Magical Christmasland.

Mat Cauthon posted:The MTG stories for Crimson Vow state that Emrakul getting shoved into the moon was the catalyst for this particular occurrence, but the day/night balance getting weird every couple millennia is just one of those things that happens on Innistrad because that's just how spooky town works apparently. I still think it's weird that the creative team went to that "day/night balance getting weird every couple millennia" idea twice, on two separate creative worlds.

I've not had as much fun with Magic in years as I do playing the precons. I do quick drafts on Arena, those are good enough for me, and to grind gold I'll play the precon that gets me my daily quest rewards. Does anyone know the algorithm for pairing? I remember when Arena came out people were guessing things like X number of rates/mythics or even cards in common with top decks. If I could make jank decks and play against people with jank decks I'd waste even more time. Playing the precons seems to get me paired against people also playing precons, though. But sometimes I'll get paired up against a tier 1-ish Standard deck and blow them out because they didn't expect the UG Snow "Avalanche" deck to tap down their board, and that's a good feeling.

Dracula Factory posted:If it makes anyone feel better, I gave away all my cards years ago and arena turning sour for me is encouraging me to explore what I really originally liked about the game in it's social aspects. If I can get people to play my cube with me I definitely want to build one with lots of Un- cards because Unhinged got me back into the game for a bit and it ended up being a blast to play some of those cards with my friends as we learned to adapt around them, and of course tons of them could never work digitally. I sold most of my cards and would like to do this, but I'm having a tough time exploring the social aspect of much of anything. I'd play Commander or Cube, but I don't want to sit around a table with strangers anymore. That's the ideal though, just buying singles and ignoring whatever Hasbro is trying to do with the game.

Yeah The Wandering Emporer is real good. Might not have a home, but if it does, wow. Some of those DFCs are real boring. What's the limited format look like where I want to wait three turns for a 2/2 with first strike?

My enjoyment of this limited format is going to be defined by how often I lose to Behold the Unspeakable or turn 2 Roaring Earth and so far it's not going my way. I really don't like mythic-level uncommons. Agreed on the autotapper being horrible for this set. I had the flier that can clone an artifact for 1U, and played a 3/2 artifact creature with lifelink for 3B... and it tapped all my Islands for some reason and left me one Swamp and one Plains. Because I had a spell that cost 1B in my hand.

I like that Ninjas have a tempo theme instead of an "everything is unblockable" theme, it makes them more fun to play with. But I like bouncing and tapping down my opponent's creatures over and over. The mythic dragons all have "dies" triggers, which aren't impossible to get past. They've got competitive stats for their mana cost, but there's even some rares that are scarier to see across the table.

Sickening posted:Nah, Everyone had those indestructible clear sleeves with the jesters hat on the box. You are an imposter! I still have some boxes sealed somewhere. I found green and black ones for sale a while ago. The black ones were okay, but you don't remember how slippery they were when they were brand new. Quality control wasn't what it is now, so there's little bumps sometimes, a couple of sleeves aren't cut right, etc. The green ones are super warped, they're basically only useable for tokens and other stuff I'll never shuffle; but they're a later model of those sleeves.

big cummers ONLY posted:I need a sanity check. My end goal is to create a bunch of decks out of my collection that I can treat as another board game in my closet for when friends come over. As a fun exercise during the worst parts of the pandemic, I grabbed a playset of every common and uncommon from the most recent set at the time and made theme decks. They actually ended up helping me learn limited strategies, at least what the relative power level of each archetype was and which cards were sleeper hits. They played well together because it's essentially what R&D designs the commons and uncommons to do for limited anyway. Stick to one set, and if you have friends who are opening packs, chances are they're happy to donate you the bulk they were going to shove in a box anyway.

Gavin Verhey put out a video with some hints about New Capenna and I don't think it was posted here. He goes over the five factions: Bant = Corrupt Lawyers, Esper = Precog Crime Unit, Grixis = Art in the front, assassins in the back, Jund = Construction, Naya = Jazz partying influencers. There's some random hints too, one of which stood out to me was that there's tons of returning one-of mechanics, including one that surprised Gavin to see. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHSjce9ltGg

Is the story really over or do they put out more? I never follow the story, but the plot beats on this one sounded cool. Kind of a bizarre choice to tell the complete story they're going to tell of this place before we see cards of nearly any of the characters. Hard to bridge the gap between Vorthoses and the rest of the player types when there's nothing to connect.
