Ummmmm
- Open beta starts September 27
- They will wipe accounts for the start of the open beta, but will not wipe them between the open beta and the full release
- GRN prerelease packs, planeswalker decks and 1/8 of boosters will come with MTGA booster codes
Quoting shit from reddit because idk where they're getting thisBooster Packs: Some Guilds of Ravnica booster packs may contain a non-unique code that will unlock 3 Guilds of Ravnica boosters on MTG Arena. Approximately 1 in every 8 booster packs will contain a code. Limit 1 per account.
Agree, undergrowth is undercooked as fuck, jumpstart is overtuned and has like 2 cards that are constructed playable. Dimir looks much better than the rest in limited. Boros and selesnya rather dull but should work ok.This set is wack. Sorry. It doesn't look good. These mechanics are half baked and the power level disparity is still fucked.
Yeah it's basically worthless, that minecraft thing was in several sets I think.It also says "non-unique" code. So basically everybody will know what the code is and the cards are 100% useless in all cases.
Might as well be like that Minecraft ad in what was it, Rivals of Ixalan?
This is where i'm at too. Surveil doesn't really do anything. It would be like making scry a guild mechanic. Mentor is signature Boros ie combat focused and will never break out of that box. Selesnya has a decent unity to its cards; it cares about token and going wide. Its probably the strongest color pairing in the set. Izzet has overcosted burn and draw tacked onto card disadvantage flashback. I barely remembered the Golgari bc you could put any of those cards in a set without the undergrowth keyword and it would fit.This set is wack. Sorry. It doesn't look good. These mechanics are half baked and the power level disparity is still fucked.
I thought going in to the extent of a full box of paper product was well worth some extra value, in the interest of drumming up Arena hype. But I guess not. Cheapskate marketing campaigns are the worst.
I thought they're only refunding spent dollars in the form of credit at the storefront, not gems used.Sure there is - spend a bunch on gems, use them for drafts, get them all refunded next week!
So standard meta will be UW control, (almost) monored aggro and some variant of BUG? Ha.
Insight yes.Chemister's Insight and Risk Factor are very good Jump-Start cards.

I don't think Sultai is going to get there. The payoffs aren't good enough.
Mono-Green scares me.
Forgot about the Bogle horse. Also I should've said "some combination of B, U and G".
It doesn't make any sense to have to use a different guild mechanic to even enable itI agree it's nothing, but the lack of self-mill is not true. You can self-mill with Surveil and there are plenty of mono-black cards with surveil. That's obviously the way you're supposed to do it. There would be far too much mill if there was a Golgari method of milling. It's just not necessary.
Why would you play mono red aggro? What would you even put in the deck? Every card in the existing aggro deck other than Rekindling Phoenix and Chainwhirler is rotating.So standard meta will be UW control, (almost) monored aggro and some variant of BUG? Ha.
I don't care really about Standard. Haven't for years."OMG where is all the self-mill?"
"OMG Surveil is plastered on everything!"

Obv its impossible to have a good assessment of the set without playing it but at a first glance it looks pretty good to me. There are some individual cards I wish were reprinted or some niches that weren't filled that I think could/should have been but overall I like what I see. Not going to lie some of y'all aren't great at evaluating cards. Though to be fair. I concern myself mostly with formats other than Standard so that is obv going o influence my perspective.
