I just don't see it being playable on a phone. Decent sized tablet, at the minimum.

Not going to touch the first draft. 1500 Gems with a 4 pack guarantee is bad enough but then factor in the 2 loss and out rule. That is a HUGE pass for me. The limited format has a land issue with the shuffler. When I physical draft, I run 16 lands. It has its moments but for the most part I get what I need for mana. In Arena, I run 15 lands and I still get land flooded on multiple occasions. My friend has the same problem so I know it is just not me. The shuffler is doing something but I find it hard to believe that pure random is the program that is running. With that being the case, I am not going for any mode that is a 2 loss and out mode.
It's 2 losses but they're Bo3 matches for traditional drafts.

Awesome!

Let me know when you cast finale of eternity for 12.

I got it off for 10 in one game. I didn’t have that much in my graveyard to get back though.

I just had my first loss...long ass game against teferi and the dude mass manipulated everything, ha.

Think I had 7 wins in a row.

Its fun playing a all red planeswalker deck. No one suspects they're going to get run over by by a 4/4 flying Tibalt.

yeah, not having much fun atm. midrange seems dead. aggro hurting. planeswalkers, gods, finales. everything seems like a delay race to drop a giant I-win bomb.

^The God-Eternals are such... ugh. Just ugh. So few ways to deal with them.

Yes they are. Dimir or any three color variant, is evil right now with God-Eternal. If they do not answer the 4/5 flyer, it can get bad real fast. Nothing makes a player rage quit faster than negating his thought erasure, and then casting Keftnet with the following turn drawing your thought erasure. That was amazing to watch and sigh at.
