It always amazes me how badly Wizards manages to gently caress up a simple message on the Mastery screen basically every time. In the past things like the wrong set have been named, the current one says the nonsense "Unspent orbs from this mastery will be lost when the next set's mastery is complete."

CharlieFoxtrot posted:it felt winnable for like 20 minutes and then it was sunk cost "What do I have to draw and what do they have to draw for me to win" is a good way of knowing when to scoop games vs control.

I'm having a fun time with Bant Ramp in the event, except when I was on the draw facing a jund deck which dropped turn 3 new sheoldred. Fair dos to my 2nd opponent for scooping to turn 1 Esper Sentinel

They're at 28 life AND have a much better board AND are playing a deck with better late game. You lost this a long time before the clock hit 20 minutes.

I've been playing Azorius control with a similar build and your deck looks like it'll get eaten up basically all the time. Grindy value midrange doesn't have a good time against control, and you'd be surprised how little decking is actually a threat once the deck gets established (the only times I've decked playing it have been deliberately when I have no outs left and just do a Silver Scrutiny for (deck size + 1) to lose in style). Once they get board control, Teferi spirits means that life totals can change very quickly. The deck usually runs lots of board wipes, so if there's a period where they're just kind of durdling around for a bit in the midgame it's usually because they're waiting for you to try to slam something dangerous (I assume that's what happened when your creatures vanished but the replay doesn't show it). Try playing the deck a bit yourself - note that even if they didn't have a wipe in hand when you played the Seraph, they still had a good while to dig for an answer because they didn't have any life total pressure.

Ariong posted:Isn't that an above average performance? Yes, it is "Stop when you reach 3 losses" is actually quite a harsh criterion. The "average player" (ie one who wins exactly 50% of the time) will end up with a 0-3, 1-3 or 2-3 record as often as not. The mean number of wins is 2.87.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:3-3, the so-called "above-average"... my war chest has been completely annihilated this week, down to 5 drafts It's not so-called, it is above average. Remember that WOTC doesn't want you going infinite. You need 52% winrate to get >3 expected wins, but that's only a payout of 889 gems; it's 56% to get >1000 gems on average, and 68% to get >1500 gems on average. The very low payouts for 0-2 wins are likely chosen to make you feel frustrated about not getting to 3 wins and make you want to put money in. The drafts may not be rigged, but the payouts are - don't beat yourself up about not hitting a target that's been deliberately and specifically designed to feel attainable while being out of reach for almost everyone.

It is a paper format, it just never took off - there's not a big audience for "casual format where you have to keep updating the deck with cards that have their prices overinflated due to being in Standard", it turns out

Khanstant posted:Arena is a digital card game which doubles down on all the lovely things about paper magic. It absolutely does not, as the shittiest thing about paper magic is how expensive it is. It's impossible to F2P paper magic and very possible to F2P Arena. imagine dungeons posted:If you go for it, be prepared to only play against another shrine deck or a 5 color commander as that’s pretty much all I get when I play my shrine HBrawl deck. I think there's just an absolute shitton of 5 colour commanders being queued up as I play against them all the drat time.

Khanstant posted:Arena is only f2p if you don't count your time I play arena for fun. I play for free and can make just about any deck. I can jam 4 Sheoldreds for free, when in paper they'd cost me hundreds of pounds. This is not "doubling down" on the bad parts about paper magic. Khanstant posted:I'm not talking about EV or selling singles, that's not why owning cards is an advantage or why I want to have more cards to build decks to play with. And people keep ignoring that paper magic can be free to say arena is cheaper (and also that anonymous competitive digital online magic is fundamentally different than people Magic). They're both ludicrously expensive games Free is not ludicrously expensive, you repeating it over and over does not make it true. (And how is paper magic free? If you borrow someone else's cards?)

Is standard especially unbalanced between the draw or play at the moment or is it only happening to me? Every deck I have - aggro, midrange, control - has a 60% play winrate and like a 25-35% draw winrate
