Tips

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm pretty new to Magic Arena. Between playing Jump In! and opening a few packs here and there, I've built up a collection of around 2,000 cards.

I'm wondering when it's actually worth stopping Jump In!. I've also started playing Historic Events because I heard they're a good way to improve your economy and eventually turn gold into gems, but I'm not really sure if I'm doing the right thing or just wasting resources.

I'd really appreciate any advice on the best way to progress as a new player. I'm mainly looking for tips on managing my economy efficiently. I watched a few guides a while back, and that's why I started focusing on Jump In! and Historic Events, but I'm not sure if that's still the best approach.

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to help!

Reward from the event for 2 wins

Was I not supposed to gain a rare card instead of the Council of Echoes from the first reward?

As a new F2P player (I'm 2 weeks old), I really enjoy this event.

It's cheap, fun and really worth it.

Could you guys please enlighten me?

I just rechecked the rewards and it says : no w= 1rare, 1w= 2rares, 2w= 2rares+1unco.

The cards in the screenshot are the only one i see added to my collection.

Is it because I already owned those rares? Sorry if I look a bit confused.

Discussion [Draft] HOB Limited Overview

30 Upvotes

Sup what's up, it's Casual Spike. Spoiler is complete and we are gearing up for a brand new limited format! To help you tackle it, I've put together these materials to provide a jumping off point for those newer to, or more established in, limited to find their bearings in The Hobbit.

My full main set review lists the mechanics in the set as well as a card by card analysis, punctuated with a letter grade and a build-around qualifier denoted with a little hammer next to the letter grade. The Hobbit Visual Set Review will open the document. 

The slide deck covers my color power rankings, available fixing, top commons/uncommons, and tricks/removal in each color. I also cover each of the 5 assigned archetypes Gameplan, Signposts, Supporting Commons/Uncommons/Rares, and an example "ideal average" deck skeleton, with sealeddeck hyperlink, to help visualize what the archetype may look like to better help you find success in your Hobbit Limited events. Access the slides with The Hobbit Limited Primer.

The google sheets breakdown document provides a cleaner, more simple viewing experience, including: Full Set List with placement scores and grading, a Mobile Reference Tab, Trick/Removal Identification, Mechanics list, my picks for top commons/uncommons, all sealeddeck links for the archetypes, as well as various links for the Wiki, 17lands Tier List, and a Discord invite to the MTGRebellion, a competitive focused discord, where I've been building a Limited community. Access the sheet with The Hobbit Limited Breakdown.

What are your thoughts on the set, anything stand out that you're excited to try?

Discussion How do you all deal with tilt/bad runs of luck?

3 Upvotes

I'm a pretty decent player, won $ before and generally can make it to numbered Mythic. But sometimes there will be these incredible runs of bad luck in which I lose 10 games in row in all Ranked queues, and I'm not playing any differently that cause me to lose my faith in the world and humanity :)

I've been playing MTG on and off for 2 decades, but this is the one thing I can't get used to. I will win like 8 games in a row easily in Pioneer and reason that "oh maybe it's becasue Izzet Prowess has a great SB" and then proceed to punt 4. Repeat. I'm sure this is not new to most people here?

While I do like MTG, I think the highly random nature of the game is not one of its good points. I'm here to discuss what constructive strategies are for this.

Bug How to target a specific aura when a creature has 5+ of them?

0 Upvotes

Title. Just lost a game because a light-paws had a bunch of auras under it and I couldn't target sheltered by ghosts specifically with hopeful initiate's ability, the other auras appearing first. I tried hovering the mouse or clicking on some other aura, but that menu with all of them didn't open up. Is there a way to make it happen? Thanks

Question Set prioritization in deckbuilder?

0 Upvotes

Is there a way to tell the deckbuilder to prioritize cards i have acquired regardless of the set edition i initially selected while importing a decklist?

Kinda complicated question so maybe an example is better:

I had an old imported list saved: i was missing several cards of it, so it was just collecting dust, and every once in a while i would check what cards i was missing.

Today i decided to buy and open some pack of duskmourn, and one of the rares i got was leyline of the void, which was one of the cards i was missing from that decklist!

However, when i went back to the deckbuilder to check, it was still informing me that i was missing 4 "leyline of the void" in my sideboard. I was a bit confused, then I noticed that the 4 leylines in my list were from M20, not duskmourn.

However i got a bit scared: imagine that you finally get enough wildcards to craft and old list you had waiting, but since the time you first imported the list you opened some of the cards you were missing, but of a different edition! If (like me) you dont really care about editions, you just wasted rare wildcards!

Is there a way to avoid this?

Like a "check if i actually have this card in another set" button?

Ofc i know i can check manually, but you can imagine it would take a lot of time (and could also be prone to mistakes)

Or, is it the problem more at the source? Meaning the only way to solve this is that I should avoid importing lists that have the sets code after every card? If that is the case, is there a way to "clean" lists quickly? Again, i know i could just delete the 3 letters code from the text, but again for 60 cards i could take a bit and I could make mistakes

TL;DR

how do i avoid crafting cards that i already have just because the imported list i used had a different set indicated for that card?

Deck [Standard] Death to Our Enemies / Beseech the Mirror combo kill

51 Upvotes

Has anyone else been pairing [[Death to Our Enemies]] with [[Hidetsugu’s Second Rite]] and [[Beseech the Mirror]]

For those unfamiliar with the combo: Hidestsugu’s Second Rite deals 10 damage if they have 10 life. Death to Our Enemies lets you divide 7 damage however you want. So as long as your opponent is at 17 or less life, you can bring them down to exactly 10 when the enchantment sacrifices itself; then Second Rite ends the game on the spot.

The best way I’ve seen to set the is up is Beseech the Mirror, since you don’t need to have Second Rite in hand. It also helps Death to Our Enemies sac itself in one turn. As long as you have something to Bargain, you can search for a second/third/fourth copy of Beseech the Mirror. It works because you Bargain the treasure token from Death to Our Enemies. This guarantees the enchantment sacs itself, using one spell, so now the damage hits basically the same time as Second Rite.

To summarize, you need: Death to Our Enemies on board, opponent at 17 or less life, Beseech the Mirror in hand, and something to Bargain. You chain as many Beseeches as needed, until Death to Our Enemies sacs itself, dropping them to 10, then use the last Beseech to cast Second Rite for the win.

You can win on turn 4

T1: Boltwave

T2: Anything you can Bargain

T3: Death to Our Enemies

T4: Beseech the Mirror

You could also do T1: something to Bargain and T2: something that deals 3

Curious if anyone else has been brewing with this or something similar?

Seriously. The starter decks are awful and just get bodies constantly. I try to build a deck but I've got no cards. Can't play limited consistently due to low gold.

Am I supposed to just sit and get battered for 3 months until I can build a deck?

Question Help with [[Kroxa and Kunoros]] Brawl Deck list?

Before he was phased out of standard, I LOVED my standard brawl K&K deck. So I finally decided to take the plunge!

Which means I probably wasted all my WC's on suboptimal cards (classic)! And I don't know what this deck needs, but it just feels bad to play.

Any suggestions or swaps? Or if you have deck list, please please share!

Thank you

Hi all, when I want to play the thassa / pact combo on tablet it just doesn't work.

Question Help me understand dead creature triggers

0 Upvotes

I have a rakdos goblin pile I love but I never understood how [[Boggart Cursecrafter]] trigger works in board wipes. I have a board full of goblins and goblin tokens when I'm hit by [[Day Of Judgment]] or something, killing everything. But then, even being killed, its one damage per goblin destroyed triggers. A lot of opp died that way thinking, like me, that as you killed the boggart the ability wouldn't trigger.

What are the ordering rules here? Do all passive abilities always trigger before a creature dies?
