    if it were easier to build decks without money investment I wouldnt mind a two deck format but its a pain in the ass and since I play paper I dont want to spend real money on arena

    I wonder if they'll bother to detect for "These decks are identical but with different decknames"

    I don't think they're gonna force anyone to play two different decks. It makes no sense in Magic.

    You'll just be (ostensibly) handicapping yourself.

    it’s really easy to game the draft bots once you figure out which powerful deck they value too low

    I’m starting to see the cracks in full-time arena, but it’s its first year, they have rope left imo

    They literally said that they can be identical decks!

    I'm liking the free card/ decks they throw at you every other day.
    I'm having fun with that white red deck, with some modifications.

    Max Gobbos Tokens, No vampires or knights/soldiers, More +1 life for creatures and enchantments, tokens into angels, then that big Lion planeswalker.

    I'm sure it's an amateur deck, any changes you think I should do to it? Those free wild cards really help to grab cards for a deck.

    Wut If Gob was 1 of us?
    2 Leonin Warleader - 4.4 summons 2 lion bros
    3 Leonin Vanguard - 1.1, cost 1, grants life each turn, buffs to 2.2
    12 Plains
    1 Clifftop Retreat
    4 Goblin Instigator - 1.1. cost 2, +1 gobo token buddy
    7 Mountain
    2 Siege-Gang Commander - 2.2 sacrifice gobo for 2 damage
    1 Kinjalli's Sunwing - 2.3 flying, opponent critters arrived tapped
    1 Make a Stand - all indestructible instant, +1 attack
    2 Hieromancer's Cage - locks up permanents
    1 Lightning Strike - 3 damage
    4 Boros Guildgate
    1 Justice Strike - kill anything with less health than power
    1 Suncleanser - no tokens for you, 1/4
    1 Take Vengeance - cheap kill tapped
    1 Unbreakable Formation - all indestructible instant, +1 tokens for all
    1 Serra's Guardian - 5.5 flying, vigilance for all
    1 Inspiring Commander - 1.4, gain 1 life and card for each <2 criter that arrives,
    4 Goblin Gathering - 2 gobbos, 3 gobbos, 4 gobbos, 5 gobbos
    1 Goblin Trashmaster - gobbo +1, 3/3, destroy artifacts with gobbos
    3 Ajani's Welcome - cost 1, +1 health with creature
    2 Ajani's Pridemate - cost 2, 2.2, +1 token when gaining health
    2 Impassioned Orator - 2.2 gain health with creatures
    1 Ajani, Adversary of Tyrants - revive cheap bastards, +1 tokens for two
    1 Divine Visitation - tokens turn into 4/4 flying vigilance gobbos
    1 Tajic, Legion's Edge - some cheap edgelord with mentor, protects gobbos

    Suncleanser doesn't do that though?
    He clears counters, like +1/+1 counters, rather than the tokens your deck generates.
    Not sure where to use him really

    Suncleanser was more meaningful in the previous format where you could board it in as a nuke on energy counters

    yep, chose the wrong word.
    But it's nice to have in a back pocket in case someone does something crazy token counter wise.

    I think it was too late/low impact to be of much use against the Energy decks

    Now, if it could target any player, it would be pretty sweet against Infect.

    I drafted 5 petitioners 2 mill counters, the wall, and a high alert. Also got a dovin and an absorb so I'm happy even if this bottoms out.

    I faced two mill decks in a row in Bo1 draft, very strange.

    No complaints, they didn't get me below 10 cards.

    I'm bummed so much of the content seems to be locked behind gems, or 5K gold, but I'm finding my own way to noodle around without spending.

    I've created some dumb "All my available cards of a color and 45 lands" decks to play around with outside of ranked matches.

    Feels good when I fumble into a victory, and I can just blame playing with random cards for any losses.

    I've def come away with some insight on what cards are hanging around in these sets more than just encountering what players are routinely putting out there.

    There is a reason monored is so popular, since it takes very few rare wildcards to put together, and no dual lands. There was a very popular mono blue aggro list running around back in GRN that was just 4 rare wild cards. Both can compete reasonably well against the higher powered decks, except I haven't seen much of the mono blue around lately.

    Standard bans aren't announced at this time. Wait to see what, if anything, happens on 3/11.

    As noted in the article this will also be the case for Arena bans going forward.

    I'd say it's specifically because of how much the Nexus+Wilderness Reclimation combo destroys MtGA's UI.

    It takes forever to work though a turn of that if they're messing around with holding mana and priority and such.

    I don't...

    I just had a almost 30 minute game. I had one card left in my deck, had no way to get through my opponents 30 health next turn.

    I seal away their Lyra.

    They forfeit.

    Like, why?! You were going to win! You had this!

    I don't understand people.

    edit: and the round before someone who had me dead to rights quit when I casted Teferi. He wouldn't have even had to kill him.
