I mean if you want to post about other things, you can and I think that would be great. I read all the other posts that come up here and think they're cool for the most part, I share other Magic things I see here when I think they're relevant

it would be cool if you didn’t monopolize the thread with constant bad vibes it makes me not want to read or post in it

Went into the set completely blind for commons and uncommons. I am really enjoying just figuring it out by drafting and playing and saying “oh gently caress that deck/card is cool”. have had a lot of success so far with the b/w sac deck. Mana on this was loose and I lost 2 games to it but I went 7 wins on the back of the 7 horses. That card is really good (or is right now before people filter into better drafts/builds)

28-9 so far in the new format

Sometimes I'll concede games I'm probably technically winning just because I'm bored. Or if I make a blunder and get mad at myself even if it isn't game-losing.

Just like, when it's time to be doing something else I just hit da brix. If I'm x-2 in a draft but the deck is annoying I'll just queue and scoop someone a win. Life's short.

Agreed with all

If they un-nerfed cards that got the alchemy treatment (Luminarch Aspirant, DRC, etc.) I'd be more inclined to play Historic as the true high-power format on Arena. There's some cool poo poo in there (Esper Sentinel :swoon:) but it's weird to me that they put in "eternal" cards like ES but also include the toned-down cards of alchemy.

yeah its stupid. for a while it was the best constructed format in magic then they hosed it up on purpose lol

absolutely not the case lol. In modern murktide isn’t even a top 3 deck atm and in legacy it’s just a creature that gets hit with plow. EI is a problem in that format for sure though and would send delver back to the pack with a ban

Haven’t played very much limited this month after hitting mythic last month but I just drafted the first deck I have had in this format where the 3/2 that loses you life was good. Very fun deck when it’s open

Second draft of the day:


Was originally in blue instead of white because I saw 3 essence scatters in pack 1 but then I didn’t see another blue card for 2 packs. Spec pick wing mantle got moved into the deck and I hoped I to see any other playable white cards and, luckily, I saw some.

This deck had no margin for error during gameplay but we got there:

Another one. Wasn’t going to go for mythic but I might stumble into it. Really like the format right now and it seems like this deck is open almost every draft right now (even if this has more filler than the last couple). Got to play my favorite line of the format 3 times with this deck where you reanimate a rager with the balduvian guy and then sac the rager to bone shards

? Territorial maro was pretty solid in DMU and it's a 5 mana 6/66 or 8/8 in most decks that run it, 10/10 sometimes.

It's not game winning but it's gonna outsize basically anything on the ground and that's often enough to stabilise a game.

But yeah as a mythic it's not exactly lighting anything on fire.

Territorial maro is a weird card to compare this to

Is there a reason to not crack completed vaults or do y'all just not play constructed at all?

Why would I crack it, I literally get every card I need to play by drafting and early in a set I just spend wildcards to make decks. If I didn’t have wildcards I would crack it but right now there isn’t anything to spend it on anyway

hey wei (or anyone else really) mind taking a look at this mono red deck? first time drafting it, saw 2 cliffstompers late in pack 2 and decided to go for it.

I would go to 16 lands and drop either a mishras domination, a strongbull, or the wellspring. They all have a place in the deck, but something has to go.

Edit: maybe not 16. you are trying to get to 4 lands on turn 4, and have 4 mutts to filter lands away. I’ll leave my original post as is but I have thought better

I think I’m going to explore more stuff now, yeah

Unrelated but this format is the hardest attacks/blocks format I have played in a while. I’m leaving points on the table rn. Some of it is starting attacks a turn later than I should, some of it is playing to the board from hand rather than taking advantage of an unearth creature who can get in there this turn but probably not next.

I’m doing well but this is an area I need to clean up in the format
