Fellow magic playing cheapskates, Lord of the Rings is now on Quick Draft in Arena!
That means you can buy in with gold, which is free to earn, and win gems.

I have put $0 into arena, and turning gold into gems in Quick Draft is the main way I manage to do that. Happy drafting!

@Kathleen_LRR I too have spent $0 on Arena, but I won't think about how much I spent on paper since Arena got me back to playing paper 2 years ago. >.<

@Kathleen_LRR I hope at least they are deductible business expenses for you 😭

@Kathleen_LRR but have you considered simply making your own cards in MS Paint

@Kathleen_LRR Thanks for the heads up Kathleen.

@Kathleen_LRR drafting LTR is a sure way for me to turn gold/gems into 0-3s. :(

I can't groc that format, for some reason

@Kathleen_LRR I'm trying to save up for the LotR lands, though. I've already forgone a couple of daily deals I usually would've gotten otherwise.

Tempting... Tempting...

I've got 15K gold... Can I make enough gems back to buy the lands?

Show threadKathleen De VereJul 4, 2023
@AdmiralMemo possibly? Can you buy the lands with gold too? If you grind weeklies and re-roll any 500 golds in the hope of getting a 750?? Maybe?
Show threadAdmiral MemoJul 4, 2023
@Kathleen_LRR Yeah. They're 25,000 gold. I'm up to 17,000 now. I just don't know how long LotR quick drafts will be in the rotation or how long the lands will be available.

@AdmiralMemo oh! you could earn that fairly quickly, I assume you’ll have time to get there before they leave
Show threadAdmiral MemoJul 4, 2023
@Kathleen_LRR Well, it's taken since LotR dropped to save this much, so I wasn't sure.
