Yes, daily. But only for Explorer...

It'd be a shame for Nick to never find out his format got the attention it deserved.

I think I tracked him down on the internetz and sent a message to his wife.


EDIT - She shared the info. ...

Got Mythic again, last week or so. Minor changes:

-1 Deputy of Detention
+1 Skrelv, Defector Mite

Deck still feels like it fills the Splinter Twin role in the format. If you can't disrupt...

It feels forced the way they've done it. Cards like Vendilion Clique are more organic because you can imagine the group living and fighting together always. Minsc, Beloved Ranger or Kari Zev,...

Mythic!
Got stuck in Diamond getting to within a few wins of Mythic, then falling to D3 twice.

Here's the list for this season:

4 Greasefang, Okiba Boss (NEO) 220
3 Raffine's Informant (SNC)...

Without context, all this is really dumb. No hyperbole, the game isn't ruined or whatever. It just all feels really... dumb

Some examples:...

Getting me to Mythic this month was Greasefang!
I got a little jammed up at Platinum, but powered through it.

This is a 5 color list I saw somewhere online. I added Sheoldred and messed around...

Made it to Mythic with 4 days to spare...
This season saw Nykthos enter the card pool. I hit a wall hard at Diamond and really struggled to break through it. Mono Green Nykthos Devotion helped me...

Mythic again! Worked my way up the ladder with Mono Blue Spirits and Wildfires of Invention but hit a hard wall at Diamond 2. Then The Brother's War came out and added Monastery Swiftspear to the...

Only made it to diamond 2 this season. Put in 2 Unlicensed Hearse and improved against Greasefang and Jund Sacrifice, but gave up some edge against the field. This was my list before switching:

Mythic again. Elves hit a wall at Diamond 2.

Deck
4 Mausoleum Wanderer (EMN) 69
4 Rattlechains (JMP) 166
4 Supreme Phantom (M19) 76
4 Shacklegeist (M21) 70
4 Spectral Sailor (JMP) 178

Made it to Mythic, and am currently at 1800 (been higher briefly) with this list:

Deck
4 Elvish Mystic (M14) 169
4 Llanowar Elves (DAR) 168
2 Dwynen's Elite (JMP) 389
4 Elvish Clancaller (M19)...

Now having the option to play with only cards that exist in paper (I realize I had this option with Standard, but... gross), I'm finding that I much prefer it to the other available options in Arena....

Anybody playing Explorer?

I initially planned to shun it, but haven't... And it's got me spending a few bucks in Arena again.
Overall I've enjoyed the experience.

Here you go!

I'm holding back judgment for a bit to see how this format feels. I'm initially optimistic.

Hey Qige!

Yeah, Prismatic Bridge looks sweet. Unfortunately I disassembled Cromat during the Pandemic. It was due to a combination of reasons...

1.) The deck being foil meant I had to pay a...

After I read your post, I got paired up against Red Sligh 3 games in a row. :tongue:
I've been pretty evenly matched against that deck. Big factors are 'play vs draw' as well as 'how quickly they...

I've never been a control player, but dipped my toes in with Grixis Control in Legacy recently and enjoyed the experience thoroughly despite doing quite poorly in the event. With Hidetsugu Consumes...

You're right, but I'm not staging a protest thinking I could affect WotC's decision-making. I feel like I'm getting ripped off, so no more buying virtual packs.

My take-away is that they are listening to the community concerns and have no intentions of improving the...

So, the implication is there will not be a banned list? And the non-standard includes from Strixhaven and whatever else aren't in the card pool?

I wonder if exceptions will be made for the cards...

I think Ron Paul knows about Galt

And I'm pleased with completing the triome cycle.

Many... Does the game keep track?
I easily play an hour a day, and that is probably a low estimate. Got into the 600s twice over the last two days.

Also got to try the combo list. I definitely...

I dunno if this violates any rules...

But here's a game I had against Phoenix that was entertaining.

I made it to ranked Mythic with 2 days left in the season! Most of my climb up the ladder was with goblins BO1. Here's the current list:

Deck
4 Skirk Prospector
4 Foundry Street Denizen
3...
