It really bothers me that from platinum on litteraly everyone has Broken pay to win decks and it's almost impossible to get a win in 😬

Hello, I think I'm on the right track to solving the "Totally Normal Event" final clue, but I'm still missing something and I hope you can help me. Here is what I found out:

Each deck in the event has custom accessories, if we take the card types of each character (ex: Urza is Artificier and Human), pet, sleeves and emotes and count how many cards in the deck share the same card types we get this code: 28 06 01 GG 00 04 01 11 10 21 29 19. For the Prismari deck i chose Nightmare-Dragon Knight-Spirit (Sleeves) and Angel-Vampire (Emotes), for the Hofri one i chose Spirit (Sleeves) and for the stickfingers one i chose Birds (Sleeves).

If we convert the numbers from Hex to ASCII we get: (ACK SOH GG NUL EOT SOH DC1 DLE!)EM , I ignored the last 3 decks because the last character is EM (End of Medium) and they also have very little customization.

Using the code in the shop does not work, but I think converting the numbers from Hex to ASCII is correct because we get the brackets at the start and at the end and an End of Medium character after that, so I really don't think it's a coincidence.

I hope someone can figure out the correct solution, because right now I'm stuck.

The decks in the event are obviously all quite suboptimal, in normal precon manner, but still, the quality seems pretty different? For example, while Prismari and Urza are fine (as long as you don't try to play hard control), is that Tibalt deck a joke? Why is there stuff like Nightshade Stinger or Scorch Spitter in there, but no ramp?

So this is a 2 part question...

1. How many out there that play arena "seriously" also play paper magic at the same competitiveness?

2. Of those of you who constantly make mythic every month, how many of you have gone to the pro tour/ play in the Regional Championships?

It just seems like there are many Arena "Professional" players, but I'm just wondering how many of them actually do well at higher tier events... or are they more akin to driving range pros in golf... they do well in lower level events but can't make it or cut it at the higher levels.

He really believed he can win until the very end

I thought of this while I was at work, scribbled out a skeleton, copied the lands from SaffronOlive's cave deck, and threw stuff in.

The theme is ramping to the point where an X-spell can upset the game, using board wipes to keep creatures off of me, and drawing said X-spell. But, since all the X-spells are one-offs, I don't know what I'm going to get, so I don't know what my strategy is - thus, "Strategy X." Yes, I built a deck for the sake of a joke.

It probably needs the land selection tweaked to be even halfway workable. There might be a better X-spell in standard than the ones I chose. Even then, this is a bad deck, and I love it.

Just made a Juggle the Performance deck for fun and ran into a power 9 deck. Crazy silly and lots of cards exchanged. Didn't win but I got to play some fun cards! Had 95 cards in my 60 card deck and 3 in my graveyard when I lost. Homonculus fun and time fun and long game.

If it did, why? Why doesn't it trigger hallowed haunting when battles transform?

I don't have the cards to test it myself, I'm a bit befuddled.

TIBALT LOVES TO HAVE FUN IN HIS OWN WAY, WHICH IS CAUSING PAIN AND MISFORTUNE TO THOSE AROUND HIM. HE CAN FEEL THIS PAIN AND EVEN SEEKS IT OUT, TO HEIGHTEN IT AND REVEL WITHIN IT. HE CARES NOT FOR OTHERS, BEING SELFISH AND SADISTIC TO AN ALMOST INHUMAN DEGREE.

'Magic bleeds into real life. With Magic, I was mainly being driven by the idea that, if people could collect their own cards, there would be a huge amount of variety to the game. In fact, one way I viewed it was that it was like designing a game for a vast audience, dealing out the cards to everybody instead of designing a bunch of little games.' - Richard Garfield, Creator of Magic: The Gathering

Hi, is anyone else experiencing the cursor becoming invisible in the game? Playing it on PC, reinstalled it, changed graphics settings, and nothing seems to work. I can only rely on things glowing to know if I'm hovering over them.

Gotta watch your clock 😅

I was wondering if anyone has any interesting prison deck lists for any format, Arena or paper.

Did you guys think the same? Looks like any card from this series is overpowered, and feels unbalanced among the common gameplay.
That nazgul set is extremely appelative. And the ring mechanic is a bit annoying.
I recognize as a very very very strong deck, easy to play too, but, is fair enough?

Perhaps is only a tought of mine, i'm a new player, probably shocked against a strong deck. But i've seen another strong decks and doesn't look the same. Here and there has a point that you can explore to get a counter or something.

Just my thoughts, want to hear yours. Maybe the deck is not so bad like i'm thinking...

Got owned by a graveyard deck... Damm I was impressed, he could have already killed me in turn 4, it was pretty impressive... Anyone has the aetherhub link to that kind of deck?

In BO1 it seems enchantments are abundant. Does mono red have any answers for enchantments? Besides outrunning them?

I'm abnormally terrible at deckbuilding and need all the help I can get.

Also, I've never played Brawl so any tips are welcome.

The prices from the event are LAZAV (UB) Aurelia (WR) NIV (WUBRG) rakdos (BR) and Vanifar (UG) If you connect the dots of the missing clue IS missing a WG leader

I'm looking for a new card game to play, I mainly play Yu-Gi-Oh and I also played Shadowverse for a few months, so having "classes" and mana isn't 100% new to me.

I'm completely new to MTG, downloaded Arena 2 days ago and completed the Color challenge for Green, Blue and Black.

It might be trauma from Yugioh, but I can't even think about queueing up against other players before having a clue of what I'm playing and going with a playable deck.

So I want to know about how do I choose a deck and how to gather resources to build it. I also want to know how far away is the current average MTG from the ones you get to play on the challenges and what do I have to look out for or learn before getting cooked.

I’m new to MtG Arena so apologies in advance if I’m missing something obvious.

I’m playing the Jump In! event for cards and noticed there is a reward for playing Jump In! 3 times.

I paid the 1000 gold, made a deck, won and claimed the card prize and noticed that my reward went to 1/3. I even won a few extra times for fun, and noticed that my reward didn’t move to 2/3, etc. so I assumed you would have to resign and play again.

So I did that.. I resigned, paid another 1000 gold, made a deck, and won and claimed the card and am still at 1/3 on rewards.

This is all on the same day.. what am I missing ? How do you complete this reward?

I’m playing on my iPad and took the photo from my iPhone, hence not a screenshot and better quality image.

The Prismari deck in the totally normal event sets these as your emotes

I'm sure this has been asked before, sorry if so, but is there a way for me to see all of my unlocked card styles in game and apply the ones I want?

I made mythic for the first time! Lets goooooo!

Messing around with different decks and it seems like mono red is very consistent until it faces a good control deck.

In BO3 Standard, what would you recommend I put in a mono red aggro deck sideboard for matches against Azorious control?

EDIT: Is it ridiculous to consider a green sideboard? Not necessarily for control matchups, but to better deal with artifacts, enchantments, flyers, and counter creature removal?
