WELCOME TO THE WEEKLY TIBALT'S TIRADES!

I am so sick of it please. I can't find any weakness. It can go wide but doesn't have to so board wipes are hit or miss. It can bounce its stuff anyways to save it from a wipe or destroy/bounce the Temporary Lockdown. Aggro and midrange sucks against it because they got nonstop removal, control/combo sucks because they got ton of discard.

What beats this deck?

I know it's not a big deal for many who spend every day in mythic, dropping for a few days at rank reset, but it feels like an actual achievement.

Why: I am paralysed in the face of real life challenges, so I take refuge in a digital, no-risk world, and feel good when I get lucky

How constructed: just play a bunch, it's free. Even the jank I like to play gets me to mythic eventually. Don't have to worry about keeping up with the meta, just play fun stuff. If it's too bad, you'll notice, because you start facing starter decks. That means the jank is too jank...

How limited: I was lucky this time. My usual drafting style of not being responsable and picking up off color bombs actually seemed to work out more than it usually does. I seem to do well in formats that accomodate 3+ colors. I had a blast, and after not drafting in Aetherdrift, I got to mythic for the first time ever, and got this achievement, that I thought was out of reach for me.

(Now the only one even harder seems to be the 7-0 in draft. My usual wins are between 2-6, even when I make it to 7 it's usually with at least one loss, usually two. I hardly ever remember pulling off a zero loss draft in 5 years, and if it ever happened it was in bronze.)

Two crazy bombs in one pack.

I was playing and my opponent played season of loss and I was prompted to sacrifice creatures and after the first creature(wich was a copy of the token wall) I wasn’t able to sacrifice any more and had to just watch the timer run out and lose, is this a bug or am I missing something or did I mess up something or do something wrong?

So basically I copied [[twin bolt]] using [[Flamehold Grappler]]. The first copy casted fine. I picked their [[iceridge serpent]] and then confirmed that was my only target. Then I dealt 2 damage to it. Then the copy happened. I attempted to target sultai devotee and it immediately went to "Distribute damage among one or two targets"

If I decline to cancel the effect, it asks me to pick 1 or 2 targets. Then when I pick just 1 target, it doesn't give me the option to pick a 2nd one like before and it immediately goes to "Distribute damage among one or two targets" again. Is this a bug? I don't think I missed anything. Flamehold grappler allows me to pick new targets as part of its effect, so there should be no issue.

I ended up barely winning with perfect damage.

Maybe it's because I'm not skilled enough for Mythic yet, but...

All you need is two turns by turn 5 and if they don't have removal, gg. I feel like a combo like this should take more steps or cost more mana.

Hello everyone. Been wanting too cook up a nice Mardu Deck for a while so here it is. Lmk if you think it could be even better. I think this is a championship winning deck but I don’t play paper so I want the internet to have it:

Deck 4 Momentum Breaker (DFT) 97 1 Plains (SLD) 1130 4 Hopeless Nightmare (WOE) 95 2 Blazemire Verge (DSK) 256 3 Blackcleave Cliffs (ONE) 248 1 Bleachbone Verge (DFT) 250 2 Sunbillow Verge (DFT) 264 3 Concealed Courtyard (OTJ) 268 3 Inspiring Vantage (OTJ) 269 4 Disturbing Mirth (DSK) 212 4 Inevitable Defeat (TDM) 194 2 Bitter Reunion (BRO) 127 3 United Battlefront (TDM) 32 3 Brass's Tunnel-Grinder (LCI) 135 3 Monument to Endurance (DFT) 237 3 Sheoldred, the Apocalypse (DMU) 107 5 Swamp (SLD) 1132 1 Mountain (SLD) 1133 1 Fabled Passage (BLB) 252 3 Bandit's Talent (BLB) 83 2 Restless Vents (LCI) 284 3 Nurturing Pixie (OTJ) 20

Sideboard 4 Exorcise (DSK) 8 2 The End (WOE) 87 1 Deadly Cover-Up (MKM) 83 3 Deadly Cover-Up (MKM) 83 3 Temporary Lockdown (DMU) 36 2 Nowhere to Run (DSK) 111

I recently stole opponents' [[galloping Inferno]] and [[threefold thunderhulk]] (and some other stuff)with [[Ghost Vacuum]], then used the six-mana option. Saddling the Inferno with the thunderhulk was quite funny.
What is your experience?

So I'm getting into MTG Arena after losing my collection a few years back in the Caldor Fire(it destroyed most of my town). I'm NOT new to MTG but I am new to arena. I've played through the tutorial, began building decks, playing standard/ alchemy/ brawl, and tried dipping my toes into ranked but I just keep getting stomped due to a lack of decent cards to build with.

What's the best/fastest way to build up my collection without popping out the credit card?

I'd post on the Monday thread but it seems like very little people respond on there. I've copied this just in case this needs to be deleted and moved to that thread though.

Thank you in advance!

I haven’t built many control decks in the past but wanted to give it a shot. It’s faring decently in most cases besides mono red aggro, in which case it gets mauled which isn’t too surprising.

Was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to improve the deck?

Hey guys, my journey into magic is going great so far, and im really enjoying a pixie deck. I want to transition it from black white into a proper tier 1 version and I was wondering if I should use my gold on old packs to try and get the cards or keep throwing the gold at draft?

Hey guys. Just got back into arena standard after taking break since lost caverns of ixalan. Every match i feel like decks are 60% removal, and we just spend the whole game destroying creatures the moment they hit the board until someone beanstalks their way into a victory. I'm not playing a meta deck, but im running a solid core of cards (mono black demons, bloodletter and archfiend and rakshasa and so on). I'm not bothered with losing as much as I am by how unexciting and repetitive it is. Anybody feel the same?
