Had something happen and either the game bugged, or I'm dumb (I'm probably dumb.

I had a Kami of Transience, a Jukai Naturalist and a token from Wedding Announcement on the board when opponent cast Invoke Despair. Game wouldn't let me sac the token when it asked to sacrifice a creature. What am I missing?

Assuming there was nothing else relevant to the board state in that scenario, you should have been able to sacrifice a creature token. Were you playing on a mobile phone? Maybe the interface was preventing you from selecting the token

Something was because I kept clicking on it.

I do this all the time. Also conceeding as soon as I know I can't cast any more of whatever I need for the daily.

I also alt-f4 probably more than I should when I get bored.

It sure would be nice if you could use a different deck when it turns out your first one sucks, in this event.

Yeah, half the fun of jumpstart is putting together different combos and seeing what works and what doesn't. Drafting with training wheels so to speak. A way to do that, even if you don't get to keep the cards would be neat.

If you've got any of the country flag card sleeves you'll be getting 300 gems per sleeve in your collection. You can still use them but if you use them going forward only you will see them, your opponent will see default cards

If you're going to spend money on packs, the 50 pack pre-order is as cheap as you're going to get. (it's the same price per pack as buying the $100 gem pack).

Then, if you want to play standard and don't have a big stockpile of wildcards, there are worse ways to get caught up to the current meta.

I picked upbthe pack bundle pre-order. Does it actually matter if I open the gold packs first or wait till after the regular ones?

Only 2 of the rares from the gold packs are guaranteed to be from ONE, so probably not. The pre-order pack bundle isn't enough to give you a playset of rares.

There is no better feeling in MTG than seeing your opponent’s commander is Baral and mulliganing until Allosaurus Shepherd is in your opening hand. Literally rolled on the floor laughing when they scooped turn 4.

These are the moments you Magic for.

I burned a bunch of wildcards to gently caress around with toxic in the play queue. It's fun, but terrible on the draw.

Now I can finally tear the drat deck apart and improve it beyond the crazy idea I had after that first draft.

I've been running WG with tons of mite tokens, but I'll have to give this a try. Been doing ok, like 70% wins off the play (and 20% on the draw...)

Did you also have a Raven Man?

If so I was on red and unwittingly activated it with my channel land.

No, the deck is literally sheoldred and a bunch of instants. I only use it when the "destroy 15 of your opponent's creatures" daily pops up.

It was against some red midrange thing I wasn't familiar with.

Unironically this. At turn 5 I usually have a good idea of I'm gonna win or lose, and in the cases where it's up in the air I still bail because it's likely I can finish a whole game on the time it takes to play out the iffy games.

I don't even worry about it. I'm impatient enough that if the game isn't decided by the time I'm out of cards in hand I'm out. Doesn't help that people are so slow.
