Is this even possible?

Graveyard hate (lantern), card draw (roku, hawk, lorehold).

What to add/remove in your experience with this deck?

Thanks!

Was a little late in screenshotting, but before combat phase opponent had cast [[Liliana the Repentant]] which I was planning to counter with [[Get Out]] but was never given the option to cast and it auto-advanced to combat phase. Anyone know the reason why?

Hello all, just got into MTG arena some months ago so I apologize for my lack of knowledge. But don't know if this a bug or not, but I crafted Vivien, Arkbow ranger and I got this message. I tried to make a sideboard but it doesn't save. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Question Cannot craft Lathliss, Dragon Queen?

Post image

Hey everyone!

This might be a silly question, but I'm wanting to craft this Lathliss, Dragon Queen card and you can see in the bottom left says you can't craft it with Wildcards. This is the first time I've come across this. Was it exclusive at some point or something?

Thanks everyone!

EDIT:

And Solved! Unsure how I missed it, but it was the art selected... Whoops... Thanks everyone!

Question Has anyone else noticed a pattern with land draws when deck thinning?

• Upvotes

I've noticed what feels like a counterintuitive pattern in MTG Arena. When I play cards that thin my deck by putting lands directly onto the battlefield or into my hand, such as effects similar to Land Tax, I seem to draw an unusually high number of lands afterward.

My understanding is that removing lands from the library should reduce the probability of drawing another land, assuming the remaining cards are otherwise unchanged. Yet, anecdotally, it sometimes feels like the opposite happens.

I'm aware that random variance and confirmation bias are factors, so I'm curious about other people's experiences.

Has anyone else noticed this, particularly in decks that consistently thin their libraries? Have you tracked your draws over a meaningful sample size, or is there any data on how Arena's shuffler handles these situations?

Which current Standard deck do you think will lose the least at rotation? And which one is in the most trouble?

I recently ranked Standard staples by usefulness and rotation longevity to help decide which cards are still worth crafting.

Big thx to Baradom for helping me knock out the Fblthp hidden achievement.
I just sent a hello, skipped countering his spells and discarded my counters to signal him. He got it and kept bouncing Fblthp back for me.
I tried to send him a friend request to say thanks, but sadly idk why the iPhone client wouldn’t show the name suffix. Great sportsmanship, respect👍

Limited Help Drafted a great UW shell and some lifegain synergy. Just not sure what to cut.

My initial instinct is to cut Sentry, Haptra, a Duelist and maybe the murmuring tome since i dont need too much fixing.

Question If I purchase Modern Horizon 3 store packs, will it contribute to golden packs?

In the past they did. See link below. Has anybody recently purchased some and can confirm MH3 store packs grant golden pack progression? Thank you.

Quote from above link.

"How will Modern Horizons 3 work with Golden Packs?
While you won't find Modern Horizons 3 cards in Golden Packs, Modern Horizons 3 packs will contribute to your Golden Pack progress."

I've had 6 games today, and had to concede all of them because the game just bugged out. Refused to resolve my cards or just spent my timeout by itself. What's going on?

Discussion I built a free daily draft game where you compare your picks with trophy drafters

27 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a game called Pack One, and thought people here might enjoy having a few more draft decisions to think about without spending gems.

The idea came from reading about someone who studied trophy drafts to get better at Limited. I liked the idea of looking at the same decisions successful drafters faced, deciding what I'd take, and then seeing what they actually picked. So I tried turning that into a fun daily game.

Each challenge has 8 picks from 8 different real trophy drafts of high winrate drafters, using 17Lands data. You see the pack and the cards that drafter has already taken, make your choice, and then compare. Each pick is its own situation, so you're stepping into a different drafter's seat each pick.

You get full points for matching the trophy pick, but other choices can score nearly as well. The scoring model looks at picks from high-win-rate drafters, and sometimes it likes a different card more than the one the trophy drafter took. There certainly are picks I disagree with!

I posted about it on r/lrcast earlier this week and got a lot of thoughtful feedback. Since then, I've made a few changes:

  • You can look at the trophy drafter's decklist after making your pick. I think seeing where the draft ended up adds some useful context.
  • The reveal shows other options alongside your pick and the trophy pick, including when you matched. You can compare their scores without digging through the full pack.
  • Daily results now show what percentage of players chose each card, once enough people have played.
  • Better image matching, showing the actual card art from the particular set for standard sets.
  • There's a Reality Fracture set refresher with mechanics and archetype notes if you're still getting familiar with the format.

There are three daily challenges: a draft run with a mix of sets, MTGA's Powered Cube, and the latest set, which is currently Reality Fracture. Everyone gets the same daily picks, so you can compare scores with friends and see where you rank on the daily, weekly, and seasonal leaderboards.

All three dailies are free, don't require an account, and work in your browser.

Play today's Reality Fracture Daily

I'm still working on making the game better. Of course, a trophy doesn't mean every pick was perfect, and the model gets things wrong too. If you try it, I'd love to hear which decisions made you think, or which scores made you wonder what on earth it was doing. Also, I appreciate any and all other comments you have. Hopefully you have fun playing it.

Thanks for giving it a look!

Question Dimir guide?

4 Upvotes

Are there any resource I can use to improve my dimir midrange? I'm netdecking and having a lot of fun but I struggle to play the deck optimally because there's just SO MANY CHOICES. When to explore, when to kaito (is it worth to sacrifice? play on 4 if i cannot ninjutsu?), when to cat, how to sideboard, etc.

Youtube video, even web guide would be a lifesaver. Thanks!

Casual/comp rule idea

0 Upvotes

I downloaded this game like many others i’m sure because it’s ftp!!! Sure there’s paywalls to certain aspects as any ftp game but the basic game is enjoyable to all many can play any bracket level and have fun. What I see time and time again though is players in the casual game mode running bracket 5 decks over and over again simply because they can and win turn 2-3. Having those decks in casual play ruins the experience to anyone wanting to play any fun lower bracket decks causing everyone to sweat and nobody actually get to enjoy the vast possibilities of ftp magic.

I suggest that the game installs a bracket system into the game so that way decks over bracket 4/5 can only be played in competitive or some sort of unrated mode at least that way people can still have casual as a way to playtest their silly decks without getting crushed before they can even play anything.
I can’t imagine this is just me where I build a fun deck that i’d love to play, but don’t have the money to buy the cardboard so I spend my wildcards, make it to my liking and finally get to try it out to have some fun and some jerk is pub stomping in casual with bracket 5’s all night long!

Edit:I’m specifically referring to brawl casual/competitive.

Question What should I do? I'm getting choice paralysis as a beginner(returner?)

Post image
25 Upvotes

I created this account mid pandemic but I never really played it for a serious amount of time, I just log in every few months in a year to open the free packs. This week I had an itch so I decided to complete all the Color and Started Deck Challenges. I had 5 Jump-in tokens, I used all of them and I enjoyed every game.

Now I don't know what to do, what should I do with my currencies, should I continue doing Jump-in Drafts or do some Quick Drafts instead (I feel I am going to be bad at), or try to make a Deck with these wildcards?
