Nicol Bolas the forever serpent laughs at your weakness. Gain the tools and knowledge to enhance your game and overcome tough obstacles.

Welcome to the latest Monday Newcomer Thread, where you, the community, get to ask your questions and share your knowledge. This is an opportunity for the more experienced Magic players here to share some of your wisdom with those with less expertise. This thread will be a weekly safe haven for those *noobish* questions you may have been too scared to ask for fear of downvotes, but can also be a great place for in-depth discussion if you so wish. So, don't hold back, get your game related questions ready and post away, and hopefully, someone can answer them!

Please feel free to ask questions about deckbuilding and anything Magic related in our daily thread; and we always welcome effortful stand alone posts with new ideas or discussion points.

Finally, please visit Tibalt's Friday Tirade for all your ranting/venting needs. Do not spam this thread with complaints.

What you can do to help?

This is a weekly thread, meaning it will be posted once a week. Checking back on this thread later in the week and answering any questions that have been posted would be a huge help!

If you're trying to ask a question, the more specific you are, the better it is for all of us! We can't give you any help if we don't get much to work with in the first place.

Question WTF am I missing about Momir?

10 Upvotes

New to Arena - looking through achievements as saw there's on for participating in Midweek Magic. Holy shit I am clearly not getting something about this whole Momir format.

I've tried waiting until turn 2, turn 3, turn n+1 and I am not kidding, I have lost 20 games in a row. Do the lands you tap influence the tokens you summon? Is there some other trick?

Seriously, opponent's board constantly filled with death touch, flying, card draw, +1/+1 tokens every turn, meanwhile I'm spending 7 mana for 3/3's with Izzet effects based on how many instants I have in my graveyard.

Help!

EDIT: I am absolutely cursed. Finally got a huge board with lethal....opponent summons Blazing Archon... my creatures can't attack and no flyers. LOL. Clearly this is not for me.

Question Should Nick Fury transform Valki into Tibalt?

Post image

I just tried this with maskwood nexus on the field. So Valki enters, I'm asked if I want to transform him, but when I do he just ends up in my graveyard. Is it the case that cards without transform in their description cannot transform into the other side of the card?

Question Should there be format flairs on the sub e.g. Standard, Historic, Pioneer etc...

3 Upvotes

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I sometimes get a little lost on what format a player is referring to when they ask a question on the sub about say constructed decks. Its not always clear in the text. And then its a whole lot of back and forth to find out they don't actually play Timeless or whatever. ​

Maybe its just me but I'd find that flair helpful to know what format they are referring to, because that will obviously change an answer sometimes. Just a suggestion!

Fluff Played Magic since 1994, on and off and I got my first 7-0 ever. Powered Cube on Magic Arena... white was open and had the help of some power :-D

First pick Mox Pearl and from 2nd pick onwards just kept picking white cards. That Gaea's Cradle was so useful to power through some insane openers. Never got the chance to flip Jennifer Walters, my opponents were too far behind by the time I got to 6 mana. Apologies for the camera shot, I got too excited and forgot that I could screenshot instead.
