MTG: Arena

So, I've been playing WoW Classic for the past two weeks and hopped back in this week...and is it just me or has the speed of games dropped drastically?

I feel like games take twice as long to play now, lulz. So much milling, thinking, plotting, house-keeping, afk'ing, etc., etc., etc....

That is even more of my problem. I've probably skipped a total of 6 to 8 daily quests in the whole three month period as well as completing every event and I'm going to wind up several thousand xp short of lvl 100. So not only am I a paying customer, I also play very frequently and yet it still feels like a punishment.

I feel for people who will hit 100 without any additional rewards available, but I'd prefer that to having to grind this shitty event for consecutive wins.

They still have two weeks left to provide a couple of events to help with your situation and maybe give a bit of extra gold too. I doubt they want to have too many unhappy people since I'm sure they will have another mastery set up for this expansion and future ones.

Ok which historic cards are a must craft before they turn to 2:1?

I think they noticed people have surpluses of wildcards.

The Historic rip off will kill that play mode before it has a chance. That's a real pity because I think they've done a good job of cornering a good portion of this market. I don't have numbers, but Kripp, etc are not being watching in the massive numbers they once were. Hearthstone doesn't seem extremely healthy but maybe I'm just assuming. I could be completely wrong. I can't think of many healthy DCCGs and MTG has a chance to one up Hearthstone with a superior older card format. That won't happen if the cards are out of casual range from the beginning. I started around the beginning of Dom and am pretty casual. I don't have a huge number of the rarer cards from the older sets and probably never will at that cost. In comparison, I have most of the main cards released for the upcoming meta. I can't be the rare exception, can I?

I'm the same way. i joined at Ravnica. so i have nothing before it, except the lands for the decks I like to play, and the rares for those decks.
ill get all the lands and the 4th Jadelight ranger. I was winging it with 3 until now.

I think this is an all star list to must have.

jadelight ranger, vasrka's contempt, hostage taker, search for ascanta, treasure map, rekindeling phoenix, angrath, inmortal sun, bernalish marshal, history of bernalia, lyra, shalai, tempest dijin, wizard retort(honorable mention), eldest reborn, Goblin Chainwhirler, Wizard’s Lightning (get it now),Steel Leaf Champion , Teferi, Hero of Dominaria, Ajani, Adversary of Tyrants .,Resplendent Angel, banefire, Vivien Reid , Nicol Bolas, the Ravager , Nicol Bolas, the Arisen

maybe not 4of each but some at least.

I think also a good suggestions is to think which cards will be survive on the different archetypes,

That's a really good starting list. The crazy thing is it forces you to use a lot of the rewards you want to use in Throne towards older sets. In a format that may end up not being supported well just like Wild in Hearthstone. There's about 8 Mythics, and 12 rares in that list above that I'd need if I played those type decks. That wouldn't leave a lot for Throne until much later unless they change their Historic plans.

MTG Arena Update on Historic

Today we want to present our new plan for Historic that addresses the 2:1 issue and instead changes the incentives around the always-on Historic play mode.

I for one am shocked and DID NOT see this coming....

I'd say the same thing but developers ignore their player base all the time. I'm glad they are making solid decisions so far. Another positive difference from Hearthstone.
