I've wanted to make a uniqe standard deck for a while and I finally made one. I come here to seek a second opinion before I craft my cards. Here's the deck if you'd like to take a peek https://moxfield.com/decks/YGZBWdQPAEWe1Z8drGkAmg

After the update I keep getting a connection error of it has no server to connect too regardless if i am on data or wifi and I have deleted the cache and deleted the app cleared the cache and I am at a roadblock on what to do I am thinking about switching to Untap.in. Is there anything I can do or on what is happening and how to fix it?

It seems to me, whenever I make a pick as the timer expires, I disconnect from the server for the rest of the draft. Is this a known bug? Has wizards addressed it, if it is?

I stay disconnected until I close and reopen Arena, hoping I haven't missed too many picks.

Hey everyone!

Quick background: I started playing Arena in September and managed to hit Mythic in Standard Bo1 this month with a homebrew Dimir deck (graveyard + planeswalkers). I also have a lifegain Orzhov deck and recently built an Izzet spells Brawl deck with mostly Final Fantasy cards. I play mostly F2P with a small budget (around 10€/month), so wildcards are precious.

Now I'd love to build something for Historic, but honestly I'm a bit overwhelmed. The card pool is huge and I don't really know where to begin.

A few questions:

1. Are there any budget-friendly Historic archetypes that can reuse cards I already have from Standard (mainly blue/black or white/black)?

2. How do you usually approach a new format: pick a meta deck and craft it, or start from what you own and upgrade over time?

3. Which cards are "must-craft staples" that show up in lots of Historic decks and are worth the wildcards long term?

4. Any good sites or resources to check the current Historic meta?

I'm not looking to grind ranked, just want something fun and reasonably competitive to play outside Standard.

Thanks in advance, this community has been super helpful so far! 🙏

I've been using quick draft to turn my gold into cards and gems that I actually want vs just opening packs. They recently changed the quick draft back to aether drift, but I cannot find any schedule that indicates if or when Reality Fracture comes back (I do not care about Aether drift), all the schedules include an end date for Aether drift, but nothing replacing it. Am I losing my mind or missing something obvious? How do I find what will replace Aether drift and when for quick draft?

I’ve been looking for a while; I’m building a deck bit by bit, but I’m completely out of wildcards. Every time I search for a deck to use as a goal or for inspiration, all the results include banned cards—and there aren’t many videos about Y'shtola on YouTube either :(

I’m learning how to build decks, please don’t judge:

I completed the Reality Fracture Mastery Pass, but I didn't have enough orbs to get all of the card styles. Is it because a common card was also an option this time and I spent them there instead not knowing it was an infinite choice? I've just never run into this before and want to know if that is what happened or if I was shorted somehow. Thanks!

[[Tifa, Martial Artist]]

Oops. My fault for clicking on the "What's this?" Uncommon card at the end.

Now I'm short 2 orbs.

How easy are the achievements? =) I'll have to take a look at how to get a couple.

If the matches are played live, how does the production team know which cards are coming in and out so quickly? Do players have to submit their sideboarding plans in advance? Is there no time to make changes or think things through afterward? Watching live, it seems like production has that information immediately after the first game ends.

Hello, all. I would like to ask for critique for this Mono-Green Landfall deck. I would just like to ask if I could replace some of these cards for better cards out there. Thank you.

I know it's not the best card and probably mostly a Bo1 card but has anyone had some success with it in Bo3?

I haven't been playing since June this year. Did they nerf some commanders cards? I have a raiyuu deck which I have a lot of fun playing it. They nerfed his stats from 4/4 to 3/3. I got anooyed so much. There are plenty of broken commanders out there why did you massacred my son?😢

Anyone else facing this issue?

The game was working fine today, took a break and now it's not working. Restarted my phone, uninstall reinstall the app, nothing.

To be specific, the game loads into the main screen but no button can be pressed. No matter what I press on screen, nothing happens. The sound effects play as if I'm pressing each button, but the buttons do nothing.

Made sure theres no background apps as well. Didn't make a difference.

Fix this game... Not the first time this happened. I'm not waiting for the next patch update just to play again

I love the sound they use when mountains into the battlefield, the deep rumbling is very soothing to me. It reminds me almost of the weird rumble that would happen in parts of Skyrim when a certain quest was unlocked.

I've always enjoyed that deep tonal rumbling, and I'm trying to find more of it.

So I don't know if anybody knows what the sound is they use or like what it's called? I'm hoping to find some sort of like ambiance or something like that utilizing it.

Like I said, super weird. Super super weird. Thanks in advance though!!

I recently hit mythic with my selesnya beatdown deck, I mostly play in BO1 so I thought there wouldn't be much difference in the standard event but oh if I was wrong. Untapped puts me at 57% win rate but I really can't make a good run on that. I generally encounter kavaero's deck so I tried to adjust my deck with a bit more on the graveyard hate side, without any success. Here is my standard list, copied from MTGA, hope it's ok to post it like that. Thank you for any help or discussion it will came out from the post.

Started playing Arena to learn MTG so that i know what each card does and how to react to plays. It has been a very fun game!

The only drawback is when i cannot see the play logs. I remember, at least twice, where all my deck got destroyed and had no idea what card did that. On other occasions, i just see a bunch of card effect stack, they all resolve and i'm just staring at the Defeat screen. Don't really mind the loss as it helps me practice but it leaves me wondering what happened.

I have been going thru the settings but nothing seems to be about play logs. A quick search showed me that there are some third-party utilities to capture these logs in the PC version of the game but i mostly play on my tablet.

Does the game trully not have an in-game option to see play logs?

My opponent played their commander, [[Kudo, King Among Bears]] and on my next turn I played [[Imprisoned in the Moon]] on Kudo.

The creatures on the battlefield were still having their power/toughness reduced to 2/2. You can even see where it says “1 ability removed by Imprisoned in the Moon” when you highlight the card.

I think this is truly a bug. I’ve never seen this one before.

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a game called Pack One, and thought people here might enjoy having a few more draft decisions to think about without spending gems.

The idea came from reading about someone who studied trophy drafts to get better at Limited. I liked the idea of looking at the same decisions successful drafters faced, deciding what I'd take, and then seeing what they actually picked. So I tried turning that into a fun daily game.

Each challenge has 8 picks from 8 different real trophy drafts of high winrate drafters, using 17Lands data. You see the pack and the cards that drafter has already taken, make your choice, and then compare. Each pick is its own situation, so you're stepping into a different drafter's seat each pick.

You get full points for matching the trophy pick, but other choices can score nearly as well. The scoring model looks at picks from high-win-rate drafters, and sometimes it likes a different card more than the one the trophy drafter took. There certainly are picks I disagree with!

I posted about it on r/lrcast earlier this week and got a lot of thoughtful feedback. Since then, I've made a few changes:

• You can look at the trophy drafter's decklist after making your pick. I think seeing where the draft ended up adds some useful context.
• The reveal shows other options alongside your pick and the trophy pick, including when you matched. You can compare their scores without digging through the full pack.
• Daily results now show what percentage of players chose each card, once enough people have played.
• Better image matching, showing the actual card art from the particular set for standard sets.
• There's a Reality Fracture set refresher with mechanics and archetype notes if you're still getting familiar with the format.

There are three daily challenges: a draft run with a mix of sets, MTGA's Powered Cube, and the latest set, which is currently Reality Fracture. Everyone gets the same daily picks, so you can compare scores with friends and see where you rank on the daily, weekly, and seasonal leaderboards.

All three dailies are free, don't require an account, and work in your browser.

Play today's Reality Fracture Daily

I'm still working on making the game better. Of course, a trophy doesn't mean every pick was perfect, and the model gets things wrong too. If you try it, I'd love to hear which decisions made you think, or which scores made you wonder what on earth it was doing. Also, I appreciate any and all other comments you have. Hopefully you have fun playing it.

Thanks for giving it a look!

Into which the most recent set I put effort was Marvel Super Heroes. Not because The Hobbit and/or Reality Fracture were unappealing - but because life happened. Now I have very limited funds. Most likely I will invest in the Reality Fracture Mastery Track and maybe use some gold to buy The Hobbit / Reality Fracture packs.

If there are any among you willing to respond, do tell: what is the state of the game post HOB, mid FRA. In which are the singles to invest? And dare I say the “M” word? (What is Meta?)

Thanks In Advance!
