STAHP

Why? why can't I post what I like and dislike about the game? Why is it such a big deal to say what I dislike when playing the game? When I play PvP FPS shooters I go on the games' forums and say I don't like playing against snipers, some players agree others disagree and all share their experience about it, some do offer tips others tell their side of palying it but here when you say you dislike some play style it's like your offending the village elders and should be shun from the community, I don't get it. If you think there's too many thread about it go ahead merge them, but don't tell ppl to stop posting their opinions, thought musing, feelings about the game.

I said "stahp" because you're trolling. Your post is still up, yeah? Chill.

1. Netdecking isn't a crime. Quit acting like it's the end of the world haha.
2. They're practicing? I'm not going to take a deck into ranked that I'm not comfortable piloting.

It is totally frustrating! I don't doubt that people are roping. I'd love for their to be an in-game reporting system too. This is what we have right now, though, so please use it. Don't shoot the messenger.

I think it needs to be communicated to the management, and the programming team, just how urgent it really is to have an in-game report function that automatically saves/flags the server-side record of the game, for review by the moderation team.

That really should have been something that was in place and functional before the Open Beta began.

Honestly, there should also have been an in-game feature to report BUGS, that would do the same: flag/save a record of that game specifically, for review by the programmers.

Seriously, that's fundamental online-multiplayer game design 101 stuff.

And it has been communicated. HOWEVER, there are a m...

I will ask tomorrow morning.

Report them! We do take action, you just don't see it happen. ALSO, when you report them with details/game logs, that is more data for us. We love data. Help us help you pls.

do you know how tedious your reporting system is? especially if I have to report a player every other game? Having to leave the game and open a website? Fill out a form, search through my files and upload logs? Can't you have a report button in-match and review the data server side?

I know these players are roping because I can see them highlighting cards just before they start letting the timers run out. They know they're losing so they rope hoping I'd get impatient and concede instead. People are using your lo...

Seriously, the shuffler threads got amalgamated into the mega thread that most of us ignore. Surely it's about time the pointless complaining threads had the same treatment.

For real

You'll be able to purchase them via the store at a later date. :slightly_smiling_face:

Just because your deck doesn't have answers to a certain archetype doesn't mean said archetype is a "no skill" deck. Instead of making a "i hate this deck they always win" post, instead ask "Hey all, what cards should I put in my deck to combat ____?"


wanting to improve > being salty

Wow! Can we give a shout out to this person for being awesome!

I mean, don't get me wrong, I am SUPER salty when it comes to control decks hahaha. I totally get it... I just don't see the need for every five forum posts to be "I hate ____ deck" without it being an actual constructive discussion. There is zero need to put others down for liking a specific archetype.
(I play the same two decks every day. Neither of those decks handle control well. I have acc...

Introducing: The London Mulligan

For more information, please refer to the London Mulligan announcement.

Starting with the release of Core Set 2020, Magic: The Gathering Arena will be introducing a new mulligan system in all of it's formats: Each time you take a mulligan, you draw seven cards. Once you decide which hand to keep, you must put a number of cards from your hand equal to the number of times you have mulliganed this game on the bottom of your library in the order of your choice. In you mulliganed once, you have to put one card back, etc.

To ensure that everything ...

What's strange is that they haven't implemented a rating system for your opponent. You +1 or -1 them after a game. And you accumulate a rating over time.

Obviously, it's going to get abused and people are going to get -1'd just for the deck they play or whatever, but that's going to be relatively consistent across the player population. Whereas players consistently -1'd for roping are going to have much worse ratings than average, and that's an easy target for the devs to look into as those players get reported.

It's so simple.

I bet you're wrong. I'm sure that hard control and nexus players will have a worse rating than ropers. No one likes this, besides who plays.

^ This. People would NOT use a system like that as it was intended, and that's a lot of extra work for our support team.

Hey all, sorry I haven't been around to give a full introduction here. As Lexie says, I've been a bit busy over the last several days. As others upthread have linked, I've been around for a while (since before the initial public reveal), previously leading the cardset team (which is why I was the dev in Arena's announce video for WAR). The new role is a lot of fun, but has also put a lot more on my plate, which hasn't left enough time for jumping in on all the threads (like this one) that need a response. Once I can get things calmed down a bit with the transition I will have more time for that, so expect to see and hear more from me in the future.

Great question! After a bit of thinking I'm sure I could Land on a choice.

@Pimp Master J:

What's going on here?

THIS. I'M SO EXCITED!!

Known Issue: Seasonal Reward Payout

Players who were ranked Bronze or Silver in either Constructed or Limited during War of the Spark Season 1 incorrectly received Ravnica Allegiance packs as part of their seasonal rewards. Players can contact customer support to receive the correct packs.

Stu Aitken was the director of the trailer, but still, SO STOKED.

SO

1. Jay will be popping in once he gets settled in, already chatted with him about it. As you can imagine he is EXTREMELY busy with moving into his new position.
2. He'll have an intro in a couple weeks.

P.S. IT'S BEEN FOUR DAYS, people. Two of those days were weekend days. Chill. :relieved:
