Now you see why I've loved magic for 25 years.

You get used to losing all the time and you can always just blame bad luck and never your own poor choices.

I was getting pissed but at this point i'm curious how long this streak is gonna go. 1/14 now

Just hit gold rank in constructed running a variation of Boros Weenie.
8 Plains (DAR) 250
4 Lightning Strike (XLN) 149
3 Militia Bugler (M19) 29
4 Shock (M19) 156
4 Heroic Reinforcements (M19) 217
8 Mountain (M19) 275
2 Conclave Tribunal (GRN) 6
3 Healer's Hawk (GRN) 14
3 Sunhome Stalwart (GRN) 26
4 Goblin Banneret (GRN) 102
4 Boros Challenger (GRN) 156
2 Integrity // Intervention (GRN) 227
1 Aurelia, Exemplar of Justice (GRN) 153
4 Clifftop Retreat (DAR) 239
1 Experimental Frenzy (GRN) 99
2 Tajic, Legion's Edge (GRN) 204
2 Sacred Foundry (GRN) 254
1 History of Benalia (DAR) 21

Thanks for the list. Boros was my early top deck when I started just because an early Heroic Reinforcements won a lot of games. Will try to upgrade to this soon. I haven't even tried to hit gold since someone said early it wasn't worth the effort. I have solid RG Stompy, Dimir Discard and ok GB saproling decks to get my dailies out of the way but I like diversity.

in other topics, when is the next expansion releasing and will it be universally same day?

Gold ranking is easy. Now try moving from that point. Unlike Hearthstone, there is no consecutive win bonus and so you can go up one and then go back one. Rinse and repeat and yay. I stopped at gold because all it takes is a few bad mana games to really make a person realize the system needs some tweeking.

i have minimal magic experience as it was all from 20 years ago. I moved up to Gold ranking using mono red agg deck very quick, and then proceeded to realize just how pitiful my stockpile of cards are and how my deck is simple as hell. tough to make any upwards traction now against some of this craziness i'm seeing

I have an uber dino deck inspired by this build that I've been using in normal games. I actually end up raping face the majority of the time. Even against control decks. I realize this probably won't do me an favors in ranked tho.

Having said that, what's the benefit of ranked and what should I do if I want to get into it?

[edit] Actually, what are the benefits of the events as well? I've just been keeping my head low and farming my dailies at this point.

Got my 4 elves from winning 1 game and resigning four times. Happy to never do it again. Pretty sure every single game was against white/x with enchantments.

got my elves. but, getting the 5 wins as a "new" player is not happening. esp not 4 times.
Tried a few things. but, without a complete set of cards, too many holes in any deck.
epicure of blood based deck did the best. white/black. lots of lifelink.

win, win, rat colony. start again.
Win, win, win, rat colony. start again.

I played once and that's enough. I wish Arena would allow you to use any previous artwork of cards you have. I loved playing with one Llanowar from Revised, 4th, 7th, and 9th when I played my old Craterhoof Elves deck in the day.

Using a White deck designed to deal with most other deck types made it fairly easy to get the four rares. I loved seeing somebody play rats against me. I never lost a game to them.
