Board 8 > Magic the Gathering topic: Get Ready for Ravnica 3, the Ravnica-ing

(+) Yeah! (+)

Risk Factor is not good... enough.

I kinda like Perceive gameplaywise but it's so silly in a courtroom setting. I'm happier with it in investigations.

(Also investigations need the help with entertaining game mechanics more. I'm probably happiest with investigations in AA2-3 out of the series partly because psyche-locks were such a good time, though they really should have full-healed you after each one, going into a trial day not at full health is no bueno)

This is very pleasant to watch

Oh my god this is beautiful
---

oh goodness, I'd almost feel bad for his opponent, but that's just so good.
---

That's a fantastic win
---

8 or bust
---

I've been feeling that Magic itch for the first time in about ~15 years, good time to jump back on board?

There was a rotation and Ravnica is back. There's also a digital version, MtG Arena, that you can look into.
---

So yes. Yes it is.
---

Thanks for the book recs, gonna pick something up this weekend.

Any good YouTube channels to check out? I browsed a bit but haven't found anything too great yet. Watched a few with that Rudy and didn't pick up on anything too bad aside from being pretty annoying, whats the backstory with him?

Wow, bot post from a previous mtg topic. Nice.

I have this weird paralysis about playing Constructed. Standard looks great, but I get nervous even thinking about what to make as my "real deck." Decision paralysis is real.

Just had a ridiculous Dimir on Dimir match on Arena competitive draft. I have an incredibly good deck, but so did my opponent, and we ended up trading blows with Whispering Snitch on very low life totals and barely clinging on, until their Etrata came out and kept coming out due to the low cards in our libraries. I ended up casting Concoct with 2 cards left in my library because I knew that one of them was my Watcher in the Mists I had shuffled there with Devious Cover-Up, giving my opponent one turn to untap, with a number of potential outs to get them above 3, but I ended up winning the following turn with an empty library. Also my connection kept dropping during the match, so I may have missed lethal earlier worrying about time constraints. Was an awesome and very difficult match.
---

I made Jeskai Drakes in Arena, and god DAMN is Adanto Vanguard annoying to deal with.
---

Finally won a pptq today after losing in the QFs of like the last 5 Ive played in.
---

Woo! What did you play?
---

It was sealed. So Boros. Then Boros again in the top 8 draft.
---

but name's superior~
---

cyclops

preferably the lttp hinox type



also a really good one is the diclops

you can also stretch it to tien shinhan triclops, but then anything past that is basically just bugs

I added everyone in this topic

please add me back >_>;

Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn

Way better than it has any right being. That said it's still not that good. It feels like they spent all their time and resources coming up with all the design choices, before realizing they still had to make a game. Either way I had enough fun with it that I don't regret playing it

O_O

Please reveal ranked online. Pleaseeee.

Just made top 8 of a Sealed PPTQ. Draft will begin soon.
---

Best of luck in top 8!
---

In the finals now, waiting for my opponent to be determined
---

Sorry I'm posting this late, but I won! I'm qualified now!

...And I found out the format is Modern. Yuck...
---

Awesome!

Also Im pretty sure any PPTQ you win this season should be feeding into a Standard RPTQ, not Modern.
---

Seems like youre right. Thats a relief. Also I have until February to see how the format settles.
---

Well about that...

The RPTQs start right after Ravnica Allegiance comes out, so the format wont be settled!
---

Oh crap, I figured the timing was right beforehand!

Very excited for this awful system to go away.
---

i dont like soccer
---

Woo!

Also I really need to get around to updating all of the bade images. Some-what placeholders right now.

So many sweet Standard decks. Its nice to finally see Standard be good again.
---

Yeah, I haven't played too much Standard since Guilds came out, but I got all the cards I need for Jeskai at GPNJ last weekend, so I'm excited to try it out.
---

I love that every single color is represented. Even if Black is somewhat lacking in diversity, the Golgari deck is still the most popular!
---

well I failed that

Yeah I try to avoid coins whenever possible so $1 bills are totally the better thing.

Simpsons Ride and MIB beaten. My score was 37,400 and the average is like 74,000 wtf?? Charon would like me to refrain from posting his score ahem. Line went from like 5 minutes to 40 so neither of us could get the chance to redeem ourselves depending on how the rest goes.

Accidentally skipped past the Wizarding World and landed in the Fast and Furious Ride. Now we're waiting in the Gringott's line and it's the longest yet (Minions was 10 minutes even right as the park opened somehow).

I feel like the elephant has no chance? Like the elephant can easily kill a person, but I can only imagine trained samurai wouldn't really have an issue dodging its movements. I guess I don't know how effective katanas would be against elephant hide, but regardless, surely the samurai would find a way to exploit weak points.

This is a new, confusing generation of bumpots
---

Oh they are bumpbots.

I've been so confused
---

Hatred.

Convention was fun! Did a midnight Cube draft with friends and friends of friends. One of them exclaimed during the draft Oh man, I have always wanted to play this card. Thats exactly why I have it built.

I think I might try Fox News for Standard (UB Disinformation Campaign)
---

cube best format
---

ultimate masters

lmao $14 packs. there better be guaranteed value at every single rare and mythic slot in this thing
---

The Box Toppers look incredibly awesome though.

Super expensive set still.
---

We heard you like BAB promos so we made 40 BAB promos.
---

I dont mind the box toppers here because 1. theyre all actually in the set and 2. most of them are pretty good. makes spending 335 bucks on a box of cards feel slightly less bad.
---

Lol that price tag. Masters sets were obnoxiously overpriced, so lets make the last one more expensive.
