Wow. I just had, like, the most aggro possible start on my deck. Shit you not, this went basically like this:

turn 1 land, pass
Turn 2 land, marauding raptor.
Turn 3 land, marauding raptor, savage stomp (kill ajani pridemate), attack for 5 damage
Turn 4 ripjaw raptor for 2, draw two cards, land, Ghalta for 2, attack for 13 with raptors.

That's a one in a hundred start right there. This shit never happens to me, so I'm giddy right now.

Shadowen

MythicMagic has expired, so you know, @gBAZ.

Just played a guy who opened with 3 Leyline of Abundance on turn 1 and then beat me to death with 6/6 Llanowar Elves.

Cracking the pack from the new BroughtBack code:

Well, I don't know what else I expected.

Shadowen

My favorite trick in mono-green right now is when I have Prodigious Growth and a big creature with trample in my hand. I put Prodigious Growth on Llanowar Elves, Elvish Rejuvenator, or for preference Arboreal Grazer, and then see what my opponent does. (Usually, of course, I can also attack immediately with the my newly fattened little guy, since they'll have been out for a few turns). If they don't kill it by the end of their next turn I can safely assume they don't have a kill spell (who wouldn't nuke a 7+ power creature with trample?) and play something like Ghalta. And if they do kill it...well, if they don't have any more cards in hand after that point they don't have a kill spell anymore, and I can safely play something like Ghalta (though Ghalta, of course, is easier to play when the Prodigious Growth didn't just go to the graveyard).

milski

I mean, I think a better trick in mono-green would be running any other 5 or 6 drop, because opening yourself up for a 2-1 and paying 6 mana for nothing but a big fattie seems pretty weak. Carnage Tyrant is just better in almost all situations.

Shadowen

Carnage Tyrant is better in almost every situation, but I only have one.

DemonStacey

Mmmm.

Just got that dream draw.

Had Haunt of Hightower in my opening hand but only 2 land and I was like "well if I draw a land turn 2 and sorin turn 3 this would be awesome"

And it happened just like that.

And the the opponent played a Lotus Field before reading Haunt's text. And then immediately conceded so I didn't even get to swing with it BOOOO.


Also SniperGuy! I saw you play against Deathsie during the streamer event the other day!

I did indeed! I believe I lost after getting unfortunately negated if I recall correctly. I didn't even realize that was a bigger streamer at the time. Was a fun event and my cosplay was super fun heh

Should have played around it!

I can't beat this queue.

(cross-posting from SE++ MTG thread_

So I was curious what the actual break-even point in terms of pack value was for the Mastery Pass, and I couldn't find anyone else's math to go with so I tried to do it myself. I'm not sure how to value the 10 individual random mythics throughout the 100 levels, but everything else could either easily be translated into X packs or portions thereof, or were cosmetics that I'm ignoring for this as their value is rather subjective and doesn't unlock additional cards. Basically 500g = 0.5 packs, 200 gems = 1 pack. Put it all in a spreadsheet, made a column to keep a running total, etc.

So the break-even point where you get as much value in packs as you would if you just spent the $20 on packs is level 42, at which point you'll have 17 packs or currency with which to buy them. You'd actually be slightly ahead of just buying packs because $20 actually gets you 15 packs and 400 leftover gems you can't do anything which because standard premium in-game currency bullshit.

If you make it to level 100 the total value in packs is 40, or about $47.20. The rest of the promised "$200+ value when fully unlocked" is all in the cosmetics/pets/

What about the wildcards and specific card unlocks?

I don't think there are any wildcards - the wording on the mythic rewards seems like it's all random single cards. I'm level 9 now, I'll know for sure in 3 levels. The specific card unlocks are all the planeswalker deck mythic planeswalkers, aka bad cards

BreakfastPM

I got stream-rolled by an Izzet Prowess Wizards deck the other day and tried to brew something up based on what I saw. The shell is somewhat similar to Phoenix and I wouldn't call it meta; but damn if it isn't a blast to play. Would love to get some input on the list too! (Personally, I'd replace a Light Up the Stage for another Dreadhorder Arcanist but I'm not gonna spend the rare to do it)

gBAZ

First game of the day, I play against a degenerate planeswalker heavy control deck, and won.
Yes yes yes.

Just a simple White/Blue flying deck.

There are straight up mythic wild cards in addition to the bad planeswalker mythic rewards.

as there was disagreement about this I decided to check, and found an answer here: https://forums.mtgarena.com/forums/threads/57183/comments/326976

For players who purchase the Mastery Pass, the rewards they can earn are expanded to include:

The Elemental Cat, the Chandra, Flame’s Fury avatar, as Chandra Mastery Pass card sleeve
20 booster packs (x5 GRN, x5 RNA, x5 WAR, x5 M20)
2000 Gems
5000 Gold
20 Card Styles
25 Set Mastery Orbs (each can be redeemed for card styles on the Set Mastery Tree)
10 Mythic Rare ICRs
5 Planeswalker Cards from the Core Set 2020 Planeswalker Decks
Uncommon and Rare Elemental Cat visual upgrades.
Exquisite Chandra Card Sleeve (Exquisite = Card Sleeve with VFX)

so yeah, no wildcards, just ICRs

Vyolynce

I wish the stupid cat would remember what color of mana I want it to represent instead of resetting to red every game.

Yilias

If you get the basic pass can you upgrade later if you want to or do you have to go big from the start?

You can buy levels right now but can't upgrade to the "+10 levels" version specifically. Apparently they're removing ability to buy levels at the end of the month.

Snicketysnick

I just had a very obliging opponent that didn't really do anything but did let me set up an exactsies headshot with Omnath for 11 thanks to the bonkers draw off of Risen Reef. Livin' the dream.

initiatefailure

This was the easiest 7-0 of my life. How come i never get that deck in limited GPs

SniperGuy

Pro-tip for ranked. Everyone's running Temur Elementals.

Play white weenie with Tocatli Honor Guard. No more ETB effects for you!

Munkus Beaver

Or just play esper nonsense.

Snicketysnick

If you're a criminal sure

Munkus Beaver

I’ll never do the time! Can’t catch me, copper, I’m living on easy street! It ain’t stealin, you weren’t gonna use it anyway! Ha ha ha!

Enigmedic

I wouldnt be surprised if engineered plague makes an appearance somewhere in a new set. Theyre throwing around lots of tribal stuff.

Engineered plague, leyline of the void and extirpate are my favorite cards. Itd be great to have them all back.

Enigmedic

I think a lot of older cards could use a reprint. Of course i would want regular counterspell, but would absolutely settle for memory lapse. I also think land destruction should exist at 3 mana but i dont see that or avalanche riders making a comeback again. Rampant growth would be nice, but with growth spiral and living reef in standard now, that might be too much.

I needed anime to post.

I think it's very unlikely we see any "your opponent's creatures have -1/-1" as a permanent effect unless it's a really special occasion. "Some of your creatures just die automatically as soon as they come into play" is one of the effect types MtG is staying away from these days

KalTorak

Well, we've got Ethereal Absolution. And I didn't think color protection would be coming back but then M20 got all screwy with me, so who knows!

I should specify that I mean "at constructed playable levels".

That card is crazy overpriced as a rare. Ascendent evincar without the body O.o

It’s the bombest limited bomb I’ve ever played with or against. The P/T adjustments are unconditional and the activated ability is way better than a single 3/3 flier.

And it doesn’t die to removal.

Kwoaru

dies to naturalize, bad card

KalTorak

also wasn't that the limited set where Ill-Conceived Inheritance was so good because there was like a single card to kill enchantments?
