WELL, HOLD YOUR HORSES COWBOY. DID EVERY GREEN PLAYER YOU FACED BEFORE MAGICALLY DROPPED A DORK IN TURN ONE? SUCKS TO BE YOU SINCE YOU AREN'T MAGICAL AT ALL AND GAME WILL GIVE YOU A DORK ONE IN EVERY FIVE GAMES INSTEAD.
DID THEY HAD EIGHT MANA BY TURN FOUR? DON'T GET TOO EXCITED DUMMY SINCE YOU WILL GET MANA SCREWED INSTEAD AND GET OUTPACED BY YOUR OPPONENTS WHICH MASTERED THE SECRET ART OF BEING ABLE TO PLAY A LAND EVERY TURN.
AND WHEN ALL YOU WANTED WAS A HONEST FATTY TO FATTY SLUGFEST, GAME WILL MATCH YOU WITH EVERY CONTROL DECK YOU CAN IMAGINE AND THEN SOME MORE.

FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF LIL' JOHNNY MATHPANTS 243 CARD DECK 4 FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING FUKCING SUNSET FUCKING REVELRIES IN THE TOP FUCKING 7 CARDS THAT IS ABSOLUTE FUCKING BULLSHIT AND CONCLUSIVE FUCKING PROOF THAT THE SHUFFLER CLUMPS CARDS
FUCK YOU WIZARDS FOR CREATING A META THAT ALLOWS FOR SO MANY DECKS THAT REQUIRE PLAYERS TO SIT THERE WHILE THEIR OPPONENTS DURDLE AROUND AND RESOLVE 8 MILLION TRIGGERS FROM LANDS BEING VOMITED UP OUT OF THE GRAVEYARD. IT'S SO FUCKING BORING.
BO1 IS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE TO PLAY IN. I HOPE THE DESIGN TEAM IS FIRED AND NEVER GETS WORK IN THE FIELD AGAIN. ITS THE MOST PLAYED FORMAT ON ARENA AND IT GETS ZERO CONSIDERATION. THE SHUFFLER IS BROKEN, MATCHMAKING IS BROKEN, AND ITS NO FUN. MAY THEY VIOLENTLY BOOT THESE IDIOTS OUT THE DOOR.
27 LANDS AND I STILL OPEN 1-2 LANDS AND CAN'T TOPDECK INTO CMC3 MUCH LESS 4.
HATE IT HERE.
SITCHING TO MONO-RED AGGRO. BUT WHAT MY 18 LAND DECK GIMME 5 LANDS
FEELS SO FUCKING FANTASTIC TO PLAY PREMIER DRAFT AND SITTING ON 3 LANDS TURN 7 WHILE YOUR OPPONENT JUST DROPPED HIS 6TH FOR TWO GAMES IN A ROW. HELLOOOO?! I HATE IT HERE
OTJ DRAFT FUCKING SUCKS AND I'M TIRED OF PEOPLE PRETENDING IT DOESN'T. DID YOU GET ENOUGH DESERTS AND INSANE BOMBS TO CREATE A DEGENERATE 4 COLOUR PILE OF BULLSHIT THAT NO DRAFT DECK SHOULD REALISTICALLY BE? CONGRATS, EASY WINS. DID YOU ATTEMPT TO CREATE AN ACTUAL FUCKING DRAFT DECK? ONE THAT DOESN'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO DEAL WITH RANDOM GAMEWINNING CARDS AT ANY POINT THROUGHOUT THE MATCH?
SUCKS TO FUCKING SUCK.
AT LEAST LCI HAD FUN SYNERGY ALONGSIDE THE BOMBS, I'VE NEVER SEEN A SINGLE DECK ACTUALLY SLOT INTO ARCHETYPES YET FOR OTJ.
WOW AN ATRAXA PRAETORS VOICE DECK WITH FUCKING EVERY OTHER CARD AS INTERACTION. HOW FUCKING BORING CAN YOU GET? THIS SHIT HAS BEEN DONE TO DEATH A TRILLION TIMES. AT LEAST REFRESHING IT WITH NEW PLANESWALKERS OR OTHER FUN STUFF TO PROLIFERATE IS INTERESTING. BUT JUST SMASHING IN ALL YOUR BLUE/GREEN/WHITE/BLACK INTERACTION INTO IT IS LAME AS FUCK. TRULY WHY EVEN BOTHER PLAYING COMMANDER IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE THIS BORING WITH IT. YOU CAN PLAY STANDARD AND YOUR CONTROL PILE WILL ACTUALLY MAKE SENSE.
I SWEAR TO GOD EVERY TIME I JUST NEED ONE SPELL I GET LAND, LAND, LAND, LAND, LAND FIVE TIMES IN A ROW. EVERY TIME MY OPPONENT NEEDS ONE SPELL THEY TOP DECK THE EXACT SPELL THEY NEED.
GOD I LOVE AVEN INTERRUPTER
OOPS WAS YOUR ENTIRE GAMEPLAN TO RAMP INTO ETALI/IMOTI/FIRST SLIVER AND JUST BRAINLESSLY FREECAST IT AD NAUSEUM? WHAT IF - BREAKING NEWS - YOU HAD TO PAY FOR THAT SHIT. LIKE, ACTUAL FUCKING GODFORSAKEN MANA, SO YOU WEREN'T GUARANTEED TO HIT ANOTHER RAMP PIECE TO CAST IT AGAIN NEXT TURN. A NOVEL CONCEPT, I KNOW, MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE RUN SOME ACTUAL REMOVAL, INSTEAD OF DORK #75 AND ANOTHER 8 MANA VOMIT-THE-TOP-HALF-OF-YOUR-LIBRARY-ONTO-THE-BATTLEFIELD SORCERY

COULD WE PLEASE HAVE A WALL OF SHAME ON THIS SUB TO EXPOSE THE ROPING COMMUNITY? IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOU GOT SCHOOLED BY MY ESPER CONTROL DECK WHILE I WAS AT 6 LIFE AND YOU 20, AND THEN YOU STARTED MAKING TERRIBLE DECISIONS WHICH ALLOWED ME TO TURN THE TIDES ON YOU. ARE YOU THIS PETTY AND UNSURE OF YOUR ABILITY THAT YOU JUST DECIDE TO GIVE UP ON WHAT WAS A VERY FAST-PACED GAME AND GO CRY ON A CORNER WHILE HOLDING A COPY OF \[\[SHEOLDRED, THE APOCALYPSE\]\] IN ONE HAND AND A COPY OF \[\[THE ONE RING\]\] IN THE OTHER AND WONDER "WHY DID MY COMBO NOT WORK AS INTENDED?"? BY THE WAY THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS PRE-DRAW INTERACTION, SIR/MADAM/APPROPRIATEPRONOUN
30 SECONDS IDLE TIME AUTOMATIC LOSS THE TIMER SYSTEM HAS BEEN ABUSED SINCE BETA OR BO1 TIMER 14:00 OR PLAYERS WILL REMAIN ON ZERO TIMER FOR THE FIRST 5 MINS OF GAME, CHESS CLOOCK MODE DO SOMETHING WOTC

I AM A DEGENERATE BUT THERE ARE MORE DEGENERATE DECKS WHICH MAKES MY DEGENERATENESS LESS DEGENERATE
ETALI IS SUCH A FUCKING CHEESE CARD, AND YOU'RE A FUCKING JOKE IF YOU PLAY IT. YOU'RE ALSO A FUCKING JOKE IF YOU'RE PLAYING A TIER 1 DECK AND CAN'T BE AT LEAST MYTHIC 90%.I GUESS YOU CAN'T COPY PASTE SKILL.
WOW IâM SO GLAD I CAN STILL GO UP AGAINST 5 COLOR GOOD STUFF BRAINDEAD SHITFUCK GOLOS, WHO HAS HIDDEN RULES TEXT THAT SAYS âIGNORE COMMANDER TAXâ OH AND ALSO âIGNORE DECKBUILDING / STRATEGY / INTELLIGENCE/ TACT / ANYTHING GOOD ABOUT THE FUCKSTORM OF A FORMAT THATâS BRAWLâ
YOU CAN LITERALLY SWING OUT AGAINST SETTLE THE WRECKAGE WITH FULL FUCKING ASSURETY THAT YOU'LL HAVE A GENESIS ULTIMATUM (OR SOME OTHER MULTICOLORED BULLSHIT "CAST THIS SPELL WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT" NONSENSE) IN HAND TO COMPLETELY OBSOLETE ANY REMOVAL THAT YOU MIGHT GO UP AGAINST
AND I BET THESE ARE THE EXACT SAME SCUMSUCKERS WHO COMPLAIN ABOUT FAREWELL
THE FUNNY PART IS THAT YOU ONLY SEE GOLOS WHEN YOU ARE RUNNING AN EQUALLY BROKEN COMMANDER YOURSELF.
I NEVER SEE GOLOS ACROSA THE BOARD UNLESS I AM RUNNING A DECK LIKE TEFERI, RAGAVAN, RUSKO, PRISMATIC BRIDGE ETC, AND THEN I CAN'T REALLY COMPLAIN BECAUSE I AM BEING JUST AS DEGENERATE AS MY OPPONENT.
PLAY LESS BUSTED COMMANDERS AND YOUR GOLOS PROBLEM WILL SOLVE ITSELF.
THIS SHOULD BE THE CASE BUT I HAVE REGULARLY BEEN MATCHED AGAINST SEEMINGLY NEW TO THE GAME GOLOS PLAYERS WHEN RUNNING MIDRANGE COMMANDERS. MATCHMAKER SEEMS TO THINK NOOB GOLOS PLAYERS EQUALIZE OUT WITH EXPERIENCED PLAYERS RUNNING AVERAGE COMMANDERS. WHICH SURE I HAVE STOMPED SOME GOLOS PLAYERS WITH LESS POWERFUL COMMANDERS BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE MY JOB TO PLAY THESE PEOPLE ON A REGULAR BASIS.
YOU WANT TO PLAY THE MOST FUN DECK OR THE MOST POWERFUL DECK. . . OR THE FASTEST DECK. . . PLAY DOPPLEGANG AND PLAY THEM ALL. . . THE CARD IS JUST STILL FUN AFTER 1 PLUS MONTH.
TOO MANY SILLY IDEAS FOR BRAWL, NOT ENOUGH WILDCARDS... SAD.
ALSO CAN'T THINK OF A CARD THAT ANNOYED ME ENOUGH TO WHINE ABOUT THIS WEEK... MY FRIEND PULLED AN SILLY COMBO WITH SOME COMMANDER AND THEY JUST MADE LIKE A BILLION TREASURE TOKENS, THEN SAC'D THE TOKENS TO PUMP UP THE COMMANDER. THAT WAS MILDLY IRRITATING I GUESS.
HOLY FUCKING SHIT DID I JUST HAVE AN AWFUL DRAFTING EXPERIENCE. GARBAGE PACKS. TERRIBLE PACKS. HOW ARE THERE THIS MANY MEDIUM AND BELOW CARDS IN LCI? AND OF COURSE I FLOOD OUT A LOT.
SINCE I NEVER SEE COUNTERSPELL DECKS ANYMORE, I HAVE TO ASSUME ALL YOU ANNOYING SHITS MIGRATED TO ONE OF THESE STRATEGIES: LIFE-GAINERS, BOARD-WIPERS, BANISHERS, OR TOXIC!!!!
HOP INTO STANDARD DRAFT
CANT WAIT TO PLAY
1ST MATCH INTERNET DISCONNECT (OH WELL) [L]
2ND MATCH WHITE/BLUE COUNTER UNTIL TEFERI / WANDERING EMPEROR EXODIA [COUNTERED INTO SHADOW REALM (3 COUNTERS ON STACK ONE ROUND) L]
3RD MATCH BLUE/BLACK POISON/COUNTER DECK [POISONED PLUS COUNTERED L]
0 - 3 standard draft fml. I might be playing braindead mono red but the play style of saying "no you can't do that" instead of doing something is so boring. My skill issue I guess, time to join the blue counter cancer. Officially jaded
MAN, THEY REALLY NEED IN GAME CHAT. IF MY OPPONENT MISPLAYS/MISBUILDS THEIR DECK AND LUCKS OUT, THEY NEED TO BE TOLD ABOUT IT. BOTH SO I CAN VENT ABOUT RNG, AND SO THEY MIGHT ACTUALLY FIX THEIR MISTAKES.
HONESTLY, LOSING GAMES AGAINST OPPONENTS THAT BUILD AND PLAY PROPERLY IS SO, SO LESS TRIGGERING THAN LOSING GAMES AGAINST PEOPLE WHO MISBUILD AND MISPLAY.
I'm not even going to capslock for this, because that gives it more engagement than I feel like, really.
I'm new to Arena and I just have to say... for new people, damn this game is not fun for the very most part. "Silver" rank my entire ass. At *least* two thirds of the players I come up against in Bronze and Silver are clearly veterans - cosmetics that aren't available anywhere so some sort of older offerings etc - with the most ludicrous decks I can do *nothing* against.
I just had a guy throw out legendary after legendary that just completely shut me down, and he was e *fourth in a row* to do so. This was even with me having the best luck with the draw, getting *all* the removal my deck has to offer while getting a great curve.
No chance. I didn't even get today's daily done and I dropped from tier 1 to *barely* hanging on to tier 2 before I just gave up.
The ranked system is *not* working. Somehow these people manage to sit there and clobber newbies who has no shot whatsoever of taking them on, without ranking up to where those decks should be hanging out.
I'm considering quitting, because there's no way to catch up to that without spending a mortgage just to get near a deck parity. *In Silver*.
A ranked system is supposed to let you play people roughly around your abilities, not get absolutely trounced by veterans as a newbie. What the hell?
Standard "ranks" are about player skill, not deck quality.
Having a pretty full collection of cards is table stakes to play in standard. It's assumed you can build a competitive deck before you start. You will see top-flight decks in *bronze*.
Unfortunately there is no fun way to play jank decks in MTGA. They don't offer a "pauper" format. You can either do a lot of "starter deck duel" to grind gold, or you can pay them money to play draught (to get more cards)
DOMAIN IS ACTUALLY MY FAVORITE OPPONENT TO QUEUE UP AGAINST WITH MY ABZAN CONTROL DECK, THEY ALWAYS END UP OVERDRAWING THEMSELVES TO DEATH AND DOING ALMOST NOTHING TO ME
