I've been playing Magic: Arena since the first wave of invites to the closed beta. It was TODAY that I realized that even though importing a decklist which contains cards you don't own puts it wayyy down at the bottom of your decks it still selects it, so you can just hit 'Edit' instead of scrolling all the way down to find it.

This is perhaps the most batshit crazy of batshit crazy UI choices I've seen in Arena.

No, I did not actually run 72% land in my Secrets of Strixhaven draft. But this particular game I got most of the mana from my deck in the first few turns. 13 out of 18 cards being lands, I think that is a record for me.

If it hadn't been for Decorum Dissertation I would probably have given up. Quickly drawing through 2 lands at a time is less frustrating than drawing 2 consecutive lands for turns on end.

Decorum Dissertation definitely won me the game here.

Magic: The Gathering Arena developers unionize, alleging forced AI use and return-to-office mandates

I understand why, for the sake of limited, they don't print Wraths at less than rare, but I really do wish, for the sake of my Block Constructed Arena decks, that they would print _some_ wraths at uncommon.

MTG Arena: Platinum rank

I haven't played #MagicArena in the past year. Started last week again and picked the Lurrus deck (not a companion) I reached Mythic in standard, but now for Historic.
I slighty changed it and Lurrus is no longer in the deck. In just a few days I am back at Platinum.

been buying Draft Tokens when they're on sale and saving the ones from Mastery paths so that when a fun draft format drops I can do a bunch of drafts.

Anyway, I've got 13 tokens right now. #magicarena

I've taken to doing Jump-In games on Arena, which both builds collection and fills vault, but also just involves playing some pretty robust decks full of sweet cards that don't have a place in constructed #magicthegathering.

it's a format where Sabotage Strategist is like, _really good_, you gotta work out a way to deal with that knowing you only have maybe two removal spells in your deck
