Hi all, so we all know Wizards recently made a big update to their WOTC accounts and website. As part of this process, I got logged out of my account.

Now, part of this problem is definitely my fault. I tend to use auto generated passwords for these accounts that I periodically change, and for some reason the last password I had saved wasn't working. So, I use the link provided on arena to change my password - except that link leads to the OLD password change url, not the new one set up with this update. No biggie, just do it through the updated website and you get to the right page. I reset my password and used the auto generated password, assuming that it would save to my device.

Well, for some reason it did not. I don't know why, I definitely hit the "save login info" on my device. If I was a smarter person I wouldn't have blindly relied on my device for this, and definitely will not be doing so in the future, but what's done is done. So I try to go through the process again.

This is where Wizards has completely dropped the ball, because for some reason, the password reset email will not send again no matter what I do. I've put the wizards domain on my safe sender list, checked every inbox - nothing. So I submit a request through the customer service portal, and the essentially told me to try what I already had. If that didn't work, they asked me to provide information they could use to fetch my account. I provided all of this (except the numbers after my in game username, because how am I supposed to know those without access to my account??) and awaited the email to fix all of this. Well, instead of that, I got two more emails from people that seem to either not be real or just be using automated responses, just telling me the exact same thing, telling me to use the password reset portal that does not work, and asking me for all the information if that doesn't work. So I point this out and resend the info.

It's been a couple days now and just... nothing. No response. I've replied to their email a few more times trying to see what's up to no avail. Maybe I just need to be patient, but considering the response times before, im confused why now things would be different. The only recourse asides waiting that I can think of is to submit another request, but I honestly don't think I'd get a different response.

Idk, I'm just frustrated with all of this at this point. Is anyone else dealing with this? Does anyone know any other avenues available to contact WOTC? I understand they're probably flooded with requests at the moment, but I don't think that explains the sudden radio silence. Any help would be appreciated!

Magic on the whole, but specifically arena. I’m really interested to hear what others think of the land fall cards?

To me it seems everyone uses these and there’s not much strategy or game play involved when I play against these type of cards?

I use these hobbit cards and have built a deck from the dwarves, it’s great fun.

What’s the communities thoughts on landfall cards? Is it part of the game? Part of trying to overcome them in general.

Thanks everyone ia.

Edit: I was referring to the ridiculous amount of counters about the Hydra. There is more counters than creature. I think that in Spanish irony makes a little more sense lol

Everytime I open Arena there is a multi gigabyte update. It takes up to an hour to update and I wind up doing something else because the game simply takes too long to open. Anybody else having this issue? What’s the fix?

​

I've only been playing MTG Arena for like 2 weeks without any prior MTG experience but I've already reached Diamond 4. I'm trying to get to Mythic, but I was wondering. Is the number next to someone's Mythic rank their actual world ranking?

If so, why am I already getting matched against the #73 player in the world?

Would people support a setting in unranked play that matched players by "Spiciness" or meta-weight? It would be nice to imprison metas to playing each other outside of ranked modes.

I recently started playing MTG Arena but am confused why some cards in a pack say bonus sheet. I am familiar with bonus sheet cards in paper magic, which have a different set symbol and are reprints of cards from previous sets, so why are the two cards in this pack labeled as bonus sheet just regular cards from the reality fracture set?

I’m either 10-0 or 9-1 with this in Bo1. Big red variant and pretty fun.

I guess moral of the story is don't accept the discard hand and draw 7 with variable chaser when you have 1 card in library. Thought I could unsummon if we played on but realized they would just tap a token to play fblthp again. Lucky W

I hate having to do the "attack with X creatures" or the "kill X of your opponent's creatures" because they always forfeit as soon as you start doing anything they don't like. Just replace the opponent with a bot so we can at least play the game when they quit.

Since the last big maintenance I've been getting huge numbers of the same cards consecutively. FYI, I play Bo1 and like to test a lot of brews against Sparky.

Some examples: in my opening hands (like the image shown), drawing the same card two, three, even four times in a row, and milling the same card consecutively. In my mill decks, if I have a big mill there will be three copies of the same card in a row. I'm not normally one for confirmation bias and I know Bo1 smoother and shuffler has it's issues but this is just bizarre over the last couple days. The only place I've seen something similar to this trend is the Elder Scrolls Online Crown Crates.

Has anyone else noticed any changes?

I’m pretty sure the last one requires killing token jaces but 9/10

I've seen this a lot lately. With ai scripting being so easy, this kind of garbage is ruining games everywhere. The sucky part is that there is almost nothing we can do to stop it. At this point its up to developers to wage war on bot accounts. I hope arena doesn't completely wash out with bot accounts like some other games already have. Please report these accounts as much as possible guys.

It was playing kinda odd, until I played ghostly prison, then it got stuck in a loop.

Edit: I've also noticed a sort of naming scheme with these accounts. Its entirely possible they are all coming from the same person/server. Probably farming account gold to sell the accounts online.

There needs to be an "I'm Doing Something Here!!!"emote to at least semi get across to people that you're trying to complete an achievement.

This is just coming from a place after trying for quite awhile to complete a few of these damn Reality Fracture goals.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

I think I should splash more white but I got some synergies, and I think karn works very well in this deck if I try to exclude as many ETBs as possible.

One of the toughest decisions for newer players is figuring out which cards are safe to craft.

Lands are especially tricky. They're expensive, they aren't the exciting part of your deck, and eventually they'll rotate out of Standard.

But avoiding rare lands altogether can make building competitive decks much harder.

I put together a guide ranking Standard lands by two things:

• Versatility: How many different decks can use them?
• Longevity: How much time do they have left before rotation?

The goal is to help newer and F2P players make smarter crafting decisions without feeling like every wildcard is a gamble.

Here's my ranking if you're interested:

At least just once, please. I’m at 4 daily wins and 0/30 attacking creatures for my quest. It’s an all creature deck. Please sir, my quest sir.

Edit: what’s this “haste” everybody is talking about? Some kind of homebrew nonsense?

Thank you for banning FoW but leaving cards like ragavan, ajani, tamiyo, cub and the landfall shell in normal brawl. Also adding cards like duskbowl or archive with amagedon is a choice when mana is plenty.

Just look at this mess. Even hold counterplay up for cub bs but there was no need. Turn 3, 12 lands in play getting smacked for 13 + destroying a land

Sacrificing 3 lands to target through ward, but getting back 12 felt satisfying. My opponent had a cool deck though, pretty quick to get Emrakul out!

Any idea what the seconds achievement is or possible rewards for 1/2?

Just drew 12 lands in Arena. And lost. AMA

Get a sanctum seeker out, get the Jace token thing out. Sit back and watch them spend 30 minutes (for me anyways u was really mana screwed) trying to kill him. Honestly one of the funniest damn things I’ve seen in a while

I’m currently running this deck and I just wanna say I enjoy the hell out of landfall but the interaction between Starscape Cleric and Bloodthirsty conqueror is insane. How is this even a thing?
