MTG: Arena

This weeks event sucks hardcore. How did it get though testing without anyone noticing that its terrible is beyond me.

Lol, so many people played merfolk for this event. Was so many free wins.

Yea its sucks! I also noticed they cut the required wins from 15 to 10.

Event almost boils down to going first. I have won a few not going first but if I go first, I usually win. The Green/White deck posted earlier really just swarms most opponents before they can react. The Simic deck could give it a run with a well timed entrancing Melody. I have never gone through my dailies as fast as I did today.

It was nice yesterday when people were running stupid merfolk decks. I'd whip out at 13/13 bioessence hydra on turn 4 and they'd become demoralized and insta concede. I kinda regret not going for all 10 wins yesterday.

Watching people do the counters event with shitty merfolk decks is quite something. U/G is fine, but you need to just play good individual cards and not all those shitass merfolk. Druid and Biogenic Ooze are wild.

I work all week grinding these golds only to get smashed 1/3 in draft today. FML. I either win 7 or win 1 in drafts.

I mean you get a free one every 4 days for gold, then you should be earning some amount of gems.

Oh god they ARE bringing scry lands back as the replacement for check lands.

Standard is going to be awful once the check lands rotate. Theros block all over again.

My issue with Theros Standard was that the devotion decks were largely the same with Theros as they were later on. Also I generally liked Scrylands, 3 color mana bases should come at a cost, even if it's just 8+ of your lands always coming into play tapped. I also rather enjoyed the 1 Elixir, U/W no win con control deck.

As someone who likes playing mono colors, it is kind of ridiculous that 2-3 color decks seem to have no drawbacks atm.
