Community manager confirmed it's gonna end on the 14th though: https://forums.mtgarena.com/forums/threads/63112/comments/400655Theros ranked draft should be available until the next set. They changed in Eldraine to keep the current set available for ranked and periodically rotate in older sets as extra events.

We should get more infos this week.
Suiting up Transcendent Envoy is a surprisingly solid plan in this format even with the good removal in black. I've hit the 7-win mark with a similar deck before and gotten to 5 another time. It just puts them under so much pressure so fast.
Huh. That seems silly. I wanna hope this means there's some announcement to be made w/ worlds but we'll see.
I've read on reddit that if you contact customer support they'll refund the coins or whatever you spent on the draft.Drafted my best deck ever thanks to Kiora Bests the Sea God. Got DC'd twice. Thanks WotC!
So, from February 14–27, Theros Beyond Death Ranked Draft will take a two-week break before returning on February 28. It'll be available for another two weeks, and then rotate again. Two weeks on, two weeks off.
We're also looking to expand the type of events we offer that don't require entry fees; bonus points if we can find some fun specialty modes that don't require deckbuilding either. Hence, Workshops. These limited-time events are intended to give players a small taste of a variety of formats, and the only thing you have to do is show up and play. In addition to no entry fees or deckbuilding required, Workshop events will also reward you for your first win in each event. These rewards will vary from Workshop to Workshop—some will reward gold, others XP, and some individual card rewards (ICRs).
i don't know if i can play ranked anymore against the 1000th red aggro deck
Nah the more fun thing is still beating someone who stole half your board. It's why I love haktos, he's immune to any steal spell I can think outside of sometimes akroan war which is temporary.there is still nothing more fun than beating people with their own cards
dimir is the truth
I was severely disappointed with a RW deck I brewed up, though. Haktos can't carry a Spear.
How is it cheap and how does it defeat the purpose? They sacrifice draw consistency and card quality immensely just to avoid decking.Using a 250 card vomit deck is bullshit and should not be allowed. There is a 60 card minimum and that makes sense so there should also be a maximum that actually makes sense. People shouldn't be able to just stack a deck with 250 god cards. Its cheap and it defeats the entire purpose of the game.
It defeats the purpose of the game which is intellect and strategy. If morons just throw all of their best cards into one pile then odds are that despite the fact that they did absolutely nothing to put a proper deck together and put absolutely no thought into what they are doing they still have a solid chance of winning each match that they play simply due to the fact that they have nothing but their best cards in a pile. And that is stupid.How is it cheap and how does it defeat the purpose? They sacrifice draw consistency and card quality immensely just to avoid decking.
Yeah if I'm being honest I'm not worried one bit about some yahoo with a 250 card deck. Other than the fact that it's physically impossible to properly shuffle it without slow playing.
I'm not "worried" about it. I win against 150+ card decks far more often than I lose against them. I just don't think they would be a thing in the first place. If I take the time and effort to thoughtfully put together a cohesive deck for ranked I don't want to be placed against some idiot who just threw everything into a pile. If I win then it wasn't properly earned and if I lost then it was due to pure dumb luck on behalf of the idiot in question. Either way I walk away frustrated.Yeah if I'm being honest I'm not worried one bit about some yahoo with a 250 card deck.

It just feels like for a game that is as strategic and thoughtful as Magic is that they should have a much more strict cap on how many cards you can have in a deck. Or at the very least have stricter guidelines for ranked gameplay.
The only time I worry about a deck with more than the prescribed amount is when I was playing eldraine draft and drafted a killer mill deck, only to see the opp put every single card they drafted into the deck. I had to take a moment to see the op running a 65 card deck.
I can't find the clip right now, but there was a streamed Cube draft where Kenji was matched against LoadingReadyRun and sided in over a thousand basic lands because LRR only had Brain Freeze as a win condition.
This is actually hilarious.I can't find the clip right now, but there was a streamed Cube draft where Kenji was matched against LoadingReadyRun and sided in over a thousand basic lands because LRR only had Brain Freeze as a win condition.
I'm using Geforce Now on my mac until it does. Works great.
So funny story. I got pretty mad that none of my decks seemed to be getting me any more progress once I hit Platinum. Every deck I encountered just ran me over with creatures. So out of sheer frustration I made a Mono-Black spell deck. Just nothing but removal cards and bleed cards like ill gotten inheritance, Underworld Dreams, and Revenge of Ravens. Oh and lots of death touch.
And funnily enough it has worked. I'm in Plat 2 now lol
No I haven't had a chance to try brawl yet I have been trying to power through ranked so I can get to diamond again.Nice! Have you had a chance to try Brawl yet? (I recall you started not too long ago)
Just made an Atris Oracle of Half-truths Deck, its win rate isn't exactly good, but when you get to play with his/her ability 5-6 times a game, even losing is fun with all the mind games
