red players are finding new and innovative ways to win, like splashing black for even more bolt effects
I am literally building every single deck with a counter measure against Nexus atm.my two most hated things at the moment are opposite ends of the spectrum: monored burn to the face, and stupid Nexus decks with literally no win condition other than making you concede
Yup. Or even see their colors. But I don't think anything is going to happen and I'll just move mostly to bo3 once it hits ranked.Had an idea on the weekend for merging some of the best qualities of Bo1 and Bo3. In competitive Bo1 modes, before the game even starts, you could be shown a flop of 5 random unique non-land cards in the opponent's maindeck. Then you get to sideboard for 1 minute before the game starts. Otherwise proceed as normal.
Could help reduce the incentives to play hyper-linear decks and make sure both sides are always playing the best version of their matchup.
Yeah I won't touch BO3 while only having about an hour every second day to grind the dailies.Luckily the Magic player base is large enough to support multiple ways to play. The best Wizards can hope for is to steer people towards Bo3 by ensuring/showing people that it's not that scary. For example, each win of Bo3 counts towards the weekly/daily win count.

Your idea is actually great, I'd definitely be up for it if each individual win counted for the dailies.
Oh, I completely misread your post!

What about the 15 wins/week where you can get 3 booster packs ? Do you need to win a bo3 for 1 victory in there ?
The wins are based on games, not matches. So if you win a best of 3 match, it will count as two wins.
Alright, thanks :)I honestly haven't noticed myself, as I don't do a ton of Bo3 (only the Trad Draft this set), but https://www.toiletdrake.com/arena-guides/quests-rewards-and-the-vault-guide/
I think it's an insane card. The fact that the draw+heal can't even be countered is massive. Simic has just felt super underwhelming for me outside of Krasis, crab man and ooze. So many cards that are basically "Under-statted Minion - Adapt for a billion mana to become slightly over-statted". Maybe I'm still missing some obvious picks in my collection.Christ, Hydroid Krasis fucking EXPLODED to 40+ bucks. I didn't even see it putting in that much over the weekend. It's good, but not 40+ good imo. But I guess this set needs some kind of chase mythic, and Vannifar ain't it, atleast not yet lol.

This happens to me so rarely I can barely remember it. What happens almost all the time is when someone has 0 or 1 card, there's maybe 2 minions on the board with no abilities, and no choice to be made.Nothing gets me like the classic "Your go" when I'm genuinely thinking about the play to make when the board is full of minions and I have like half a dozen different lines I could take. Fuck off.
Damnnn, I didn't know it was that much. RIP, would've been great in my Simic Ascendency deckChrist, Hydroid Krasis fucking EXPLODED to 40+ bucks.

Also, I'm not sure how exactly bo3 differs from bo1 timewise other than being able to Nope out of a bo1 game much easier when it's not going your way. bo3 is just...playing 2-3 games of magic instead of one. Unless you were only going to play one game and log off, I don't know how bo1 is better timewise. You also get a sideboard!
you don't have to build them from scratch, you'll probably find some cards/archetypes to be enjoyable and you can netdeck something to build off ofWhen it comes to card games, I've always been scared off by the idea of desk building. Will I get over that or is deck building just not for some people?

The final 8 slots in the Mythic Invitational will be filled with the best of the best constructed players in MTG Arena during the Feb. 1-28 preseason. Here's how it's going to work.
During the month of February—play MTG Arena! That's a pretty easy step 1. If you aren't already playing MTG Arena, you can download the game for free here.
Next—win! Achieving Mythic ranking is difficult, and getting to the top 8 is an even greater accomplishment. One worthy of an invitation to a $1 million tournament. You can play and win in ranked constructed, which includes best-of-one and best-of-three play.
We'll be publishing official rankings of the top 100 weekly throughout the month of February and emailing players in the top 1000 once the season concludes. Note that your listed in-game ranking may not be accurately reflected in your displayed ranking, as the ranking system considers games played by other players that may not be visible moment-by-moment in what is displayed for any given player. All rankings will be final as of noon PT on Thursday, February 28.
Then, by Monday, March 4, we will email final, certified rankings to every player in the top 1,000. We'll also contact the top 8 directly for more information. The top 8 will receive hotel and airfare accommodations for themselves and a four-day PAX East badge for themselves and one guest.
