beg drafting is going to be insane with so many rares floating

 

[anvi]

I was wondering how they make any money on this game. Cuz once you are established the gold you get from playing is enough to get you what you want. That said I focus on 3 or 4 colors and barely have any green cards. If I wanted some I would have to pay.

money doesnt cut it during their busy summer schedule or if you are interested in historic cards.
Now they are trying to push new idea for historic -> up rarity of mystic archive something cards. Baby steps. It is quite a joke when you compare how historic anthology 4 and those new cards will disrupt historic

EDIT: in before we learn that there is no dup protection for archive stuff

 

[[UCHIHA]XxDarkSasuke420xX]

OK this is epic


5 $100 gem bundles for me please

 

[John Keel]

They make money with casual that can't keep up with std and have poor impulse control + drafters

Historic is by far the cheapest format to buy in, mtg is and was always based on a business model preying on retards with addictions issues

 

[John Keel]

What the fuck is this retarded ugly shit, some fucking danger hair lgbtwefdgd+ got this deal but Terese N and giga chad Noah are verbotten

Also historic legal, probably only for a very short time so enjoy it while it last

 

[John Keel]

This is VERY real for historic

If Lingering soul is in, Mardu may be a new contender

 

[Newfag-er]

in before we learn that there is no dup protection for archive stuff

That will be the likely outcome, since they have no reason to care for this cuz it is a bonus

Officially speaking faithless looting died for daddy hoggak sin, but faithless looting also enabled Arclight Phoenix decks to dominate modern for some time

 

[John Keel]

Phoenix will def be a thing with looting & brainstorm in histo, also looting in modern was akin to opal/simian it was doomed to get the axe at some point, Hoggak was just the/a tipping point

Same thing gonna happen in histo, fucking Winota is banned, looting ain't going to stay sadly

I am going to Mardu reanimator soooooooooo hard when it goes live, can't wait

 

[John Keel]

Spoilers for StrixHaven are going to be so disappointing after revealing Mystical Archives

ps: just give me lifefrom the loam & smallpox faggots wotc

 

[John Keel]

Damn, I despise weebo but this alt art for DT is lit as fuck

Very prestigious if/when/once historic brawl is available

WTF that looks like someone defaced a card with ms paint.

EDIT: in before we learn that there is no dup protection for archive stuff

That should already be confirmed. When they introduced duplicate protection on previously printed cards they specified it was only for cards with the same art, and reprints with new art wouldn't be dupe protected. That's also assuming they're in the regular packs on Arena, obviously if they're only draft packs then there's no duplicate protection there.

what i meant in here is shit like pulling 5th dark ritual.

Someone did the math, assuming fabulously optimistic route of having dup protection, if you would need to buy x number of packs to be rare/mythic complete, you would need to double it in order to be mystic archive complete.
Its basically jumpstart issue all over again

 

[Ranselknulf]

I have no idea how I got mythic rank with this deck, its obscene. It goes against all rules and strategies of mtg. Mythic rank is boring imo, its just a bunch of fast jank decks. Guess its time to go fast jank again.

Ah, yeah that'll be a pain in the ass. Especially if they only show up in draft packs, which means no protection. And then the upshifted rarity on some shit will make it even more obnoxious.

I have no idea how I got mythic rank with this deck, its obscene. It goes against all rules and strategies of mtg. Mythic rank is boring imo, its just a bunch of fast jank decks. Guess its time to go fast jank again.

Congrats! That's a hell of an adventure.

 

[anvi]

Yeah I had a really slick deck that started losing a lot when this set arrived. So I threw together a bunch of op cards in one deck and now I win most games. Strange. I think some cards are just so powerful it kind of dictates how the game will play out and how the decks should be made.

I also used to fill my decks with huge sorceries like board wipes and stuff, but there are too many game ending cards that I need instants for, so I am upping my instants game. Got tired of tapping out on turn 5 or something and then he wins next turn with an ultimatum or something massive.

 

[John Keel]

Don't forget that when a set release you face harsher competition than later, so maybe your deck isnt that much better as time pass but you're matched against more scrub :D

Btw Historic shakeup week3 is kind of awesome, the format is at least 2 turns slower and allow for so much more jank than usual it's fantastic, having a blast with Kaalia mardu reanimator

That's probably it.

For me, It normally takes time to farm wild cards for a new set.

People in the mythic rank stop playing once they reach the qualifier stage. No point risking their qualifier status.

 

[John Keel]

I can't get over Brainstorm & Faithless looting upshited to Rare, this piss me off SO MUCH.

These fucking jew will probably wait forever to reintroduce them at Common in MTGA, ending up with 2 (or more) playset gallore

Wotc can't really into digital space, it's insane

Yes I can afford to craft them and yes I'm Uberjew.

It's a matter of principle

 

[Ranselknulf]

I dump most of my gold on booster packs, although i did spend about 50K gold on random cosmetic cards to make my deck pop a bit.

I usually buy 2 packs from standard then dump one pack into a random historic booster, at least until I get all the standard cards I want, then I reverse that.

I got a ton of historic cards, but I'm not sure what I have yet because I haven't really broken into historic yet.

 

[John Keel]

Why don't you craft a solid historic deck and farm events for golds / ICR instead ?

Much more efficient imo, and you can use gains to buy packs
