Magic: the Gathering - T: Add Three Mana Of Any One Colour To Your Mana Pool

[aldeayeah]

I think your deck looked perfectly fine. Sore points being the inconsistent white splash. Also it doesn't quite look like a Sleep deck, maybe I'd play Uncomfortable Chill over that one which similarly fogs and also helps you find the lands you badly need. I admit Sleep can win some late games though.

Mostly took sleep because it can be amazing in limited and steal games

[aldeayeah]

I know, but with your deck, the situation in which Sleep steals you a game is a situation in which you have already a strong board presence

Dunno, I think it's slightly win more in late game decks?

Probably, I only did use it as an expensive fog, so what you say makes sense tbh.

hol ^y shit

[Nihilm]

Yeah, people have been predicting this for months now.

[Deathhappens]

People did predict this, but years down the line, not immediately. Hell, the game itself isn't even out of beta yet. This seems like a clear case of "too soon" to me, but Wizards apparently never let that stop them before.

[aldeayeah]

Speaking of beta, some big changes.

- No more random cards as prizes for Constructed events
- New rank system
- New bot system
- New matchmaking algorithms

Also Brandon Sanderson just released a free novella with original characters, set in Innistrad.

[Deathhappens]

Those are...big changes, indeed.

[Nihilm]

New reward structure killing how great constructed events/competitive events were....

[aldeayeah]

I guess it's a push for people to join the ranked queues.

[Nihilm]

Also actually killing any sort of incentive to do bo3, also ranked rewards for every 2 months sort of suck. I feel like this is very much just them realizing that ICRs were way too good for f2p collection building.

[aldeayeah]

After some epic backpedaling from Wizards, the Constructed Event card rewards will stay as they were (for now).

[Deathhappens]

I guess people really liked their ICRs. I didn't do much Constructed (or much of anything besides draft and bo1, really) but I can't say I blame'em.

[aldeayeah]

Some details of the new Arena Pro circuit have surfaced, including the initial 32-player roster, which is almost a carbon copy of the top 32 MTG pro players, which makes a lot of sense. Some of them (like PVDDR) will be streaming officially too.

The ICR make farming cards incredibly easy, if you have a halfway viable deck and can play the game you break even every time (mostly because a lot of Arena players are really bad at the game and matchmaking does not use any actual skill rating yet)

[Deathhappens]

Guilty as charged.

[I3uster]

Do we have enough people here interested in a small arena tournament

[Helias]

did someone say incentive to finish building my deck

[aldeayeah]

I will play, just don't expect my deck to be too optimized since I'll be stockpiling wildcards until Allegiance comes out and I see what kind of three color shells pop up.
