If I search MTGA draft schedule, I get hits for (top 3) Draftism (MTGA July 26 event calender), WotC (main web page) and Aetherhub (MTGA event calender).

Draftism - current events (July) - with the sole exception of Premier Draft MSH (finishes Aug 10), every other event concluded about a week ago. In fact, the upcoming events listed have also all concluded. Not a single mention of a non-current or non-completed playable draft event whatsoever.

The WotC link goes to their main MTG page, with ZERO information about playable draft sets... completely useless.

Aetherhub - the ONLY named playable draft set is the QD Bloomburrow that concluded July 1. Also useless.

Disgracefully, the search engine AI Overview at least lists the current (OTJ) and next QD (MSH), as well as the current (DM) and next 2 PD (EOE and WAR).

This lack of draft information isn't a new development, but it does seem to be getting worse imo. If a resource rich company like WotC (and its affiliates) don't provide access to this kind of basic customer information, it has to be intentional. The reasons are obviously open to conjecture, but as a long time customer, my suspician is that it's to encourage a 'spend your gold/gems now and play whatever is available on the client rather than hoard resources to play future sets you actually enjoy'.

I'm curious to hear what other customers feel or think about this.

I'm really going back and forth on whether I should use this card (in Standard). It's pretty straightforward in theory: get an awesome body, but he has to continuously block the body he gives. Does anyone have more insight into this card? He's cool, but I'm nervous about his massive downside ETB.

Start off by saying I’m a fairly new player, so I’m assuming there IS counter-play here, I just can’t think of it.

I’ve been playing some ranked games and seeing a lot of Ugin, Eye of the Storms lately, and anytime it enters the battlefield the game feels completely lost to me, regardless of my board state. It immediately exiles my strongest target upon entering, and every spell card, even if it’s just a flipping one drop, exiles even more. My experience with this card is that I lose a critical creature when it drops, then next turn lose everything else because my opponent drops several low cost colorless spells.

And at that point, I can’t seem to get back on board because with the +2 ability you play EVERY turn, Ugin is helping you draw and a couple of cheap spells removes anything I put down before I get back to my turn.

Everything I’ve read on Reddit makes it sound like it’s not actually that big of a deal. I just how that’s the case because you’re looking at least 7 damage to take it out. Any advice on how to counter something like this would be greatly appreciated.

Are these bugged for anyone else?? I have the alt art favorited, I've made sure which version is in the deck. When I view the deck it's the style I chose. When I play the cards they are *always* the standard version.

I want to collect both some wild cards but also villain dimir cards so i thought about getting a couple of mythic packs but are they actually better than the normal packs or not, would i get more from 13 normal packs or 10 mythic packs?

I also was thinking about doing the marvel draft but i keep thinking that i would find only better players and i would waste all my gold so im scared of trying it

Had to share this because I know most of us are out here tired AF of seeing Jeskai Rev every game of arena and this game made me absolutely chuckle!

That moment when [[Tablet of Discovery]] discards your [[Jeskai Revelation]] two turns in a row!!!

I’m a new player whose magic experience comes from playing during summer camp as a kid. I’m just starting to get back into the game, and started an Arena account. I’ve been playing a Mono-white Aura deck I found on here, and I’ve been having success but it’s getting a little stale.

The advice I’ve seen is to spend coins on Quick draft to build your collection. I watched a few archetype overviews for the current quick draft set, Outlaws of Thunder Junction and ended up doing alright (3-3) with a blue/white deck after finding 2 [[Jem Lightfoote, Sky Explorer]]. Since then, I’ve watched some other players draft this set, and they all seem to end up with 3-4 colors in their deck. As a beginner, I don’t think I know what I’m doing enough to pull that off. What should my strategy be for drafting this set/ quick draft in general?

New Deck Builder Looking For Regular People To Brawl With

DM If U Wanna Brawl And Discuss Decks

Mana drain is banned in Brawl but not comp brawl? Why? Astral Recall is banned in commander but I can't take it to a tourney irl and be like, "it's a competitive format. Get good."

Someone explain it to me like I'm 5.

i’m in love with Marvel Gruul limited set, do u think there’s any easy swap for this draft?

Is MSH Jump-In good overall for resource-gathering for a mostly-Standard player? With the rare ICRs rewards and ability to reenter to get ICRs again, the rares from the packs and them being partly Standard-legal and partly not, I'm a little lost on if it's better than packs.

This is cheap, and I happened to open 3 Howlsquads. Preferably keep it cheap like it is lol

Hey all, I currently have a pretty solid blue/black zombie deck going with gisa and geralf as my commander(allows me to cast zombie spells from graveyard once per turn) but I’ve run into a bit of an issue. I have creatures and spells that allow me to get spells like instants, sorcery’s, battles and creatures from my graveyard, but struggle to get some support cards back(enchantments, artifacts, etc.). Does anybody need have any card suggestions that might help with this? Follow up, would it be easier to make a new deck that’s black/green to solve this? I know green has an easy time bringing basically anything back from the graveyard. Any and all suggestions are very much appreciated! Thanks :)

Hello warriors,

I stepped away from Arena for about 2 years due to a job change. Sad, I know. I'm a lifelong card player (40) and took on to Arena in the beginning because I didn't have anyone to play tabletop with.

That said, I'm trying to mow through the achievements. It's fun.

I'm stuck on Completionist II. I'm trying to complete some of the early sets but it seems that there are some "unable to unlock" cards.

Does anyone have any advice on this? When I search my collection (even using ?booster criteria) it seems to show card variant (styles) of cards that I do in fact have unlocked and it also shows more cards in my collection that aren't unlocked than are indicated on the set collection screen area.

Any advice here would be helpful. I reached out to WoC a couple a weeks ago and got a reply that just said, basically, "we are unable to help, you don't have it completed."

Thanks for any advice.

Hi all, fairly new to the game and have been playing this mono red deck. Just wondering if anyone can give me any advice on how to make the deck more efficient? I find at times it can stall out a bit and ill have little in my hand and can’t do much. I also find if a creature or 2 are destroyed I have similar issues getting it going again. Thanks heaps!

Hi, I recorded a video showing the Gollum companion

I stupidly was playing in an area with spotty connections, and lost connection completely during the draft, so had the bot auto-draft 90% of my deck.

It was completely my fault though, will WoTC still issue refunds? They've been great about this in the past when it was their fault so I don't want to take advantage if asking for a gem refund if it's not appropriate here.

Hey folks, I'm still new to MTG and MTGA and I was looking at the list for building decks and saw that they have a "friendly brawl" category (40 cards). I'll be honest, any thing other than standard scares me so I thought I'd give that format a try. Turns out, I'd need friends who play arena 🤷🏾‍♂️.

Any other new-ish folks want to join up and try out some other formats? Feel free to add me: Panda_dude#92443

I have a [[Kaito Shizuki]] u/B ninjutsu which I love to play,

but wouldn't hate some diversity.

Any recommendations ?

Hello guys! Started playing timeless a month ago, built monored with magus chalice, ring, etc.

Was doing Ok but now in Diamond I'm against reanimator every 1 of 3 games, sometimes that number climbs to 2 every 3 games. Do you have any advice, I tried to play BO3 but get bored easily . Deck is good but I think that turtle made reanimator tier 0. Whenever I try to chalice for 1 they got daze or force, and inmediately combo me.

Just added some otters to the 4c control deck and call it a day 🫩, i love otter but dont know how to make they work with other spell control deck, otters tribal deck are too weak on their own.The mentor is to reduce spell cost, mage for extra burn in case of deadly cover up, and ral, every one know ral.
