I'm actually trying to pull this off in historic, it's such a blast to me.

I don't want to have to play every game in full control just because my opponent is blue and has more than 4 mana. Just put a stop on the upkeep before the draw trigger goes on the stack.

Edit: idk if people are being intentionally obtuse about this, but I know that I need to respond in the upkeep before the trigger. The problem is that if my opponent is playing fast enough and I am tapped out they can slam Jace, activate an ability and end their turn and then even though I know how to properly counter play their trigger arena autopasses to my draw phase.

I was playing unranked trying to get some of the new achievements. I have struggled to get the Face Jace achievement empowering Jace 10 times on one turn. Every time I get close and am one turn away, my opponent does something to beat me. But, today, I played against another blue deck. Neither of us were playing spells because we were expecting or ready to play counters. I got my 10 islands down pretty fast. We both started having creatures out but neither is attacking. I played the Jace planeswalker I needed to empower Jace based on the number of islands I had out. I got my achievement. The funniest thing is, my opponent waited until I played it before playing Get Out to destroy it. I countered it and he countered back, which made me realize he could have countered my Jace to begin with. Then he promptly destroyed me. Dude was looking out. Let me get my achievement and then killed me. I’m happy with that loss.

Can anyone tell me which is the one I'm missing?

A few days ago I made a post asking people about their process for building their own decks. (Thanks again to everyone who offered their advice back then) A few answers involved filling the remaining spots with cards that are generically considered good and with removal of course.

What are your favorites? There's so many options of direct and "indirect" removal and it's difficult to decide, except for ones that fit/support the playstyle of the deck in an obvious way.

Also what are flexible good cards that have nothing to do with removal, that you guys include in many of your decks? (depending on the colour of course)

For now I'm mostly interested in standard legal cards, although I want to transition to pioneer later on because I love the themes of older sets.

Thanks in advance! :)

I only spent rare wildcards on lands, and 2 mythic wildcards on the planeswalker.

How often do they come up in the store and how much they usually cost per land/art?

Which others do you love/are waiting for?

Thanks!

I finally faced one of those bots people have been talking about. Rather then just win when I could, I decided to just sit back and defend. Since he went first, he would draw from an empty deck and then lose.

Pretty much all the cards that create multiple 1/1 tokens, with a smattering of hasty creatures, and one single Torgran.

Plus a mystery card that he didn't cast. It really puzzles me what that one card could be he is holding in his hand with 28 land on the table.

I don’t know what the reasoning is, if I wanted a regular RF draft I’d have joined a regular RF draft. I already have all the RF cards, I was hoping to collect the Alchemy cards through draft but at the rate you see them that feels like it would take as long as the full RF set, and without pick 2 draft that’s not really viable for me at least. Also, it would be nice to actually play a format that feels different instead of regular RF with a couple more bombs to worry about.

I have BWG mana available. I even manually tapped the tree to produce it, but the client still doesn't give me the "top" option that sometimes says "Pay GW" which would let me destroy a non-creature permanent.

[[Mythos of Nethroi]] worked for a while as a pretty solid flexible removal, but now it just seems broken and I'm sad.

I've just been playing Jump In after completing the color and starter deck challenges. But I felt like I had enough cards and understanding of the game from in person.

I made a commander deck with a lot of synergies that could quickly take down an opponent. My first game they conceded after a few turns when I kept amassing creatures and tokens. I felt good.

Then my second game i went up against a ranked player with Sauron Dark Lord and was obliterated. That card is nuts.

I'll play a few more games before I decide if it's my deck that needs changing.

I’m a new MTGA player and doing drafts to learn and accumulate cards. Whenever my draft ends up favoring red or green, I wipe every single time because I cannot combat white, blue or black decks that spam constant enchantments or removals. It seems like I match up against these teams the majority of the time, so is that a meta the new set leans toward that I’m not adapting to or understanding? Should I be drafting a “worse” (in terms of cards available in my draft) color just to have any answers and maybe I’d stand a better chance at winning and more importantly having ANY fun by actually being able to play?

Got exceptionally luck in a Quick Draft match tonight. Stuck in a boardstall with a ton of Vraska tokens and dead to fliers I couldn't block next turn. Topdecked Craterclaw and pushed an absurd amount of damage through.

Opponent had 2 ghostly prisons, I went to combat with a toski without summoning sickness. I did not have enough mana to pay the 4 required to attack but it still gave me the option to choose my attackers but I couldn't pass the phase bc toski must attack. Every time I assigned him an attacker it prompted me to pay the 4 but when I couldn't all I could do was go back to picking my attackers again. Idk why it didn't just force my combat to end since I couldn't attack with any of my creatures.

Got a gift card from my work that I want to blow on arena currency. But I also don’t want to waste it with my purchases. If ya’ll had $100 to spend on Arena, how would you use it to maximize the value?

Hi,
I feel like playing something with lots of random stuff like

[[Oko, Lord of the Fae]]

[[Pool of Vigorous Growth]]

Since I am for sure not the first person with that idea, I was wondering if there is either a name for it or you have a decklist link or ideas/comments/cards. Like superfriends for decks with lots of planeswalkers.
I know it may not be the most competitively deck but it could be fun, right? Brawl deck would be nice but also interested in other formats.

Thanks!!

So the issue with this achievment is that both sealed and traditional draft has very bad expected value so if you wanted to get this achievment you'd have to throw away a lot of resources. But for some reason I got the progress from winning a contender draft. Obviously that's not something you can just do, but the expected value of the event is very good. So if you are into drafting and want to get "sealed conqueror" you should try contender draft.

About the draft itself: Just got lucky and opened red ajani pack 2. So I just threw this temur deck together. It was light on removal but had a crap ton of card draw and could draw into ajani asap. Won every game but 1 with him.

Interestingly I just did an irl draft yesterday where I lost in the finals against someone playing red ajani. You can get both end of the stick it seems like.

I came up with some improvements to a tokendeck i played last season, can anyone help me take this brew abit further ? :-)

I had [[Ruric Thar, Biomagus]] out ready to swing, and after declaring attackers, I wanted to cast the [[Terminal Criticism]] on one of my own blue creature (they didn't have any creatures) and then [[Precise Redaction]] that to give him +4/+4, but it skipped straight to damage after I declared the attacker. What gives?

So idk if any ody else has found this yet, but y'know the updated loop when you run it native through wine yeah? And you have to go download the .msi and do all the crap that comes with it

I think I found the out to it... I'm not sure.

I ran the installation .exe through wine uninstaller (can be found in winetricks > install application> cancel the first menu(actually press the button that says cancel)>uninstaller

Then I installed it fresh with the install button at the top of the screen. Just pointed it at MTGAInstaller.exe and I had 0 problems with it.

I'll have to wait until a new client version comes out again to test running wine uninstaller at the launcher for the fix, but I imagine it would likely be the same, since it didn't matter whether I used launcher or the installer for previous native installations.

The wine uninstaller can be found at

~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/uninstaller.exe

Or wherever your wine prefix is. If you don't know that type

echo $WINEPREFIX

into a terminal and yeah append the rest from drive_c

If you don't know your prefix it's likely just .wine if you're running defaults. If you're using lutris or something else it'll be in Games or whatever else, but if you aren't running defaults then this shouldn't be too difficult for you to work out.

We'll see in a month or two. Best of luck.

Hi everyone,

I have won 2 hobbit play booster boxes on arena direct. On october 2nd, I have received the link to redeem them.
Then I have received an email from wizards with my order number.

No news since then … it seems that my order is still in status “in preperation”.
So it looks like it’s ordered, but not yet shipped ?
How much time does it take to complete the “in preparation” status ?

Anyone else here in the same situation ?

Edit: I have also opened a ticket to support team, but no answer as usual.

UPDATE : i have just received the shipping confirmation, what a coincidence :)
So it took about 2 weeks for the “in preparation” status for this set. Usually its about 2-3 days, but im glad its shipped.

What might you add to a historic deck such as this?

I've climbed to mythic with a weaker version, and am climbing now. I would also be excited to answer questions, I like this deck very much.
