Thought we could use a Magic vidya topic here on the gaming side.
So I recently got back into Arena as I have decent work laptop that can run it now. Had some gems and stuff from the Beta, so I drafted about 8 times (got a couple 7 winners
) and built up an ok collection of wildcards. The wheels fell off once I got to gold tier as I was facing better players. I don't wanna buy any gems right now, so I'm grinding Standard for gold.
I looked at some top tier decks but they are super rare/mythic heavy (of course), I drunkenly burned a ton of wildcards on Boros stuff. I like brewing so I'm trying to see how low to the ground I can go. I was inspired by seeing Clarion Spirit make a zillion tokens so I leaned into that for my 'Sligh' style 19-land pump spell deck. I took this bad-boy to Gold-tier, but now Im facing 'real' decks so I'm having a harder time of it. May need to take my Giant Killers out of the board and into the main to kill the big beasties.
Wheres the BO3 option though? BO1 is ass-cheeks and so dependent on play or draw.
