Unfortunately some decks are going to perform better than others, or not perform at full potential until you learn to pilot it. Keep at it and practice practice practice. Try playing in the unranked queue for a while as well.

@Yorik#73783:
I don't understand why people pay so much attention to seb. It has to be mostly because they flood every set with 40 seb pieces. My reaction to most of his pieces is the same - "oh, wow, another dark fleshy skeleton figure thing, no need to change it up next time bro, just keep at it." Its the same sort of edgelord stuff they used to have puddnhed do all the time - all you need is the artists name and a brief discription and you can predict exactly what it looks like in your mind. No surprises. He's just this generations puddnhed.
Your comments are distinctive as well, I recognize them immediately - always a drop of negativity.
Take a look at this artwork and tell me, where do you see "dark fleshy skeleton figure thing":

Seb McKinnon and Magali Villeneuve are my favorite artists! Their art is phenomenal.


MTG has so many talented (and super nice) artists. If you ever get a chance, I encourage you to stop by a Magic Fest and visit the artist booths!

I didn't respond because I don't have an answer. We will announce things when we're ready to announce things. :slightly_smiling_face:

Yes, in most of closer bets enter was “pass to everything”, with shift+enter being “pass unless I have any responses”, but after many complaints we flipped those. To get the “hard pass” you’re looking for, use shift+enter.

Err, “closer bets” is “closed beta”. What I get for replying on my phone.

Reminder to stay on topic and please stop with the insults. It isn't constructive or needed, and breaks the CoC.

@WotC_Lexie:


Your first point: Please just treat everyone with respect. Whether someone has two posts, or seven thousand, their question and/or opinion is valid. Seniority shouldn't be a factor in whether someone is taken seriously.
I'd argue post count is a factor in how the community responds, and is often helpful in the angle of response. This is different than saying everyone is valid, despite post count, which is what you are saying.
New players/posters and vets should be replied to in context of their experience level/knowledge. That's not invalidating anyone, just recognizing the foundation or motives of created posts or replies.

If taking away user post count throws the forums into chaos, they can be brought back at a later date. :slightly_smiling_face:

@Gorenzel:

You say News and Announcements will still be the place to find news and announcements, but I have always been frustrated that I had to always check General Discussion for news and announcements. This makes me assume this isn't changing, so what's the deal?

So the reason we did that was because News and Announcements didn't allow people to reply on posts there, so when it came to specific types of news, it had to be posted on General to allow replies. Now you will be able to reply to things posted on News and Announcements, woo!

News and Announcements will contain all News and Announcements.

@Volkbrecht#63244:

Two things:
One) while in an ideal world we should all treat each other with respect and discuss the topics at hand with a focus on the content rather than the poster, in the real world that we actually live in a system displaying success, seniority and ideally a ratio of the two (as was the old system with badges and posting counter) helps a lot in deciding if at all, and if yes, then in what tone a topic is best discussed. There are reasons why these features are so popular in other forums. Without them, I will have to look into people's posting history to figure out whether they are a newbie in serious need of help or someone who is, let's say, beyond the help a simple forum reply may give them.
Two) Having topics being "screamed into the void" in deserted subforums is not necessarily a bad thing. I do understand the reasoning behind wanting to streamline the forums. But what we will be getting now is more noise on the re...

@TopoftheStackMTG:
Seems cool, I’m glad the forum is getting some attention.

The "attention" it gets is a reduction of categories and the hiding of closed beta.

I don’t think either of those things are bad things. Reduction of non-popular boards means the boards that are used twice a month with few replies no longer exist, and those few posters can post in a place where their post will be discussed. If there is a need for additional boards in the future, that is something we can implement very easily

As for hiding closed beta forums, you can still access the forums if you’d like via direct link! If there is a reason why you’d like them to stay, please let me know. 🙂
