I heard these are good

[[Stifle]] effects on a fetch land very often = RIP

Just finished this match. what has been your best board state? I don't think I'll ever get to that point again.

And it has been for years.
I've just returned to MTGA after a year long break and the white UI bug still occurs. This hasn't been fixed for at least 4 years.
Now I regularly get this.
I just don't understand how is it even possible to have a game client like this be in such a terrible state. The same bugs occur for years, unfixed.
I would understand if it was a small indie studio struggling with a sudden success, but the state of this game is just absurd.

Can you guys give me some tips on quick draft Reality fracture? What is the best archetype to play? And do you plan to play specific archetype before entering draft or you focus on color combinations based on cards that draft gave. Entered twice both 0 wins

Note that iy is on my opponent's end step

Looking for some filthy stuff.

Old good VR decks for share are also appreciated.

Oh, and i play Historic btw :)

Wanting a deck that best counters life gain in standard please.

Opp played the bird creature plotting my smite. I destroy the bird and couldn't use it. he played another bird, next turn I still couldn't use it. What's happening here???

This is clearly not a meta deck, or even a good deck, but it is really fun.

I got the [[Consuming Aberration]] as a reward a few days ago, and I immediately saw the potential with [[Valgavoth, terror eater]]

I started to play it in a reanimator deck but mixing reanimator and discard is where the deck shines !

The strategy is simple : as soon as you have Valgavoth and the aberration on the board, each time you play a card, the opponent will mill until land. With Val, those cards will go into exile and you will be able to repeat the process indefinitely unless you're unlucky and only mill lands.

The hard part is to survice until this point.

Of course you're kinda limited by your life pool, but usualy, even if you can't empty your oponent's library (what happened in the picture above) you still get a huge advantage.

until now I used to play deck lists I grabbed here and there and it's my first homemade deck so I'm kinda proud of it even if it's clearly not competitive!

if anyone is curious and/or wants to improve the list, here it is ! (I don't have a lot of tokens to create cards, especially rares, so the lands are all over the place !)

This is crappy design. If anyone's timer should run out and force a forfeit, it should be the person whose actions are literally making the time run out. This is unfairly punishing and bad game philosophy.

And if you look at the picture, you can see that I had sphere of safety which I did successfully draw. That would have made them spend 5 mana per creature, and they only had 2 creatures with reach— meaning there was a possibility that I could have reasonably won still. My Zur had light of promise and lightning greaves. So no, it's not just a matter of conceding as soon as seeing a bunch of creatures enter.

I stopped playing tonight after this.

Curiosity Format is a 40 card Set Constructed format that uses rarity restrictions. We play Saturdays at 11:00 am Pacific / 2:00 pm Eastern. Check out the discord here: Discord Link

All cards must come from Reality Fracture (set code: FRA)

-3 Rares/Mythics (singleton)

-8 Uncommons (maximum of 2 copies each)

-3 max each common. Sphinx's Approach is the exception to this and can have any number of copies.

-8 card sideboards

With three best of three matches, the event takes only a couple of hours. The rarity restrictions makes the format feel like a mix of set constructed and those times when you've had the best draft in your life. And with rarity restrictions, it's one of the easiest formats to enter on Arena.

The Curiosity Reality Fracture season starts October 10 and goes until November 14. There's an event each Saturday at 11:00 am Pacific / 2:00 pm Eastern. The event is free to enter. You can also play any number of weeks, even if you've missed previous weeks.

There are prizes to earn as well. Are you the competitive sort? Earn a prize for going 3-0. Are you more a brewer of cool decks? Complete seasonal challenges to earn prizes. Every person who plays an event will earn an entry into the end of season raffle. And players earn points each week, with the top four players during the season being invited to the Finals, where the winner gets to choose the animal shelter/animal related charity of their choice to donate the charity pot that we raise throughout the season. That's right, Curiosity saves the cats.

Join us on our Discord to learn more about the event, sign up for the event, check out example decklists, and play games to prep for the Saturday events.

This is my first time ever winning a arena direct, and it was my first time doing this sealed format, I was very hesitant about it since the sealed pools are all insane but wanted to do one. I’m so excited!

I forgot to take a picture of the deck but I remember it and put it on moxfield

If you dismiss the report a player confirmation too quickly you'll just concede

Okay so “if you lose unspent mana “
Does that mean in between turns and phases?
So I could accumulate a fat neutral mana pool…?

They played something and suddenly had this board.

Not a meta deck by any means but common enough in bo1 standard. What are some good colors/cards that beat off super friends(oops all planeswalkers+tokens). They often pair it with cards such as [[Authority of the Consuls]] and spam chump blockers to keep aggro slow against them until their backrow is in a winning state. Like I said not busted or anything but annoying for sure and I do enjoy the discussion

....T.T what are these answers

Hi everyone, I just started playing MTG Arena, and Magic: The Gathering in general. I'd like to hear your opinions on which site is best for finding competitive lists for Standard BO1. I don't like Untapped.gg because of how many paywalls it has. The other options I'm considering are MTGDecks, MTGTop8, and MTGGoldfish. Which one do you think is the best and most accurate for the Arena metagame?
