Oh yeah, some broken synergy is my kinda fun.

Honestly, the only card that is going to be hard to replace is Angelfire Ignition. That does so much, but most likely I will find another 3 mana spell that adds lifelink or haste. Good question. Stay tuned! I promise this one will get an update right after rotation.

Thank you! Soy face for the clicks, capitalized adjectives for the incitement. This is the way of RUclips.

Those are the music videos I was listening to live on stream (I cut the video from my Twitch VOD). Due to copyright laws, the volume of my desktop does not transfer over to my VOD to avoid a strike. Something new I started doing on my streams. This is the first RUclips video that has that in it. I was curious if there would be any problems, but it is fine since all the copyright strikes are done by bots. Good eyes! Thanks for the watch and the comment.

Link is in the video description, FYI.

I still haven't uninstalled (mainly because of how long it takes to patch now), but I am so frustrated with the state of the game. I might just take a break until rotation, but something needs to change. Who knows. It could just be that I am too emotional right now due to things unrelated to MTGA, so I am doing what I have never done before and pausing before I hit uninstall. You should be able to play more than 1-3 decks to HAVE FUN PLAYING A GAME. I think that is what has been lost in the obsessive greed - this is a video game/card game that is supposed to be fun and make people happy.

Yes, updated with the new set.

LMAO!

They know that people will log out after they finish the 15 daily wins. If someone is not logged into the game, they can't spend money. The beatings will continue until morale improves!

Thanks!

Oh yeah! You can hear the true joy in my voice as I cycle into a crime land win. Also, can't counter a land getting dropped on the battlefield. I like to imagine my opponent smashing their keyboard into oblivion after the loss or either just sitting there staring at the monitor wondering how they lost the game. Thanks for the comment!

Much love!

Thanks! Lots of L's were taken to get to this level of competency.

Bernie Madoff pulled off his Ponzi scheme for 15+ years. There were plenty of people claiming he was running one, but he brushed it off and the authorities let him con people for a long time before everyone realized what some knew all along.

@@dameongeppetto Exactly. Without transparency and/or some kind of enforcement of fair rules for all it's not going to be fair since there is no incentive to do so(and the opposite incentive exists instead.) aEOMM and even that episode of South Park on predatory cell phone games all already exist and no one would deny that, but we get people defending MTG Arena like it's exempt from those same rules. Even more maddening is none of this was an issue with the original Magic Online game. Just that it plays like old accounting software and they should of banned bots from ruining the free market economy it had.

@@dagamingsalmon7668 it really is simple: you expect me to trust that a for profit company in a business that has zero regulatory oversight is going to be fair and just because they are benevolent? Do you exist in the real world? I used an example last week on a livestream about how Lake Michigan used to catch on fire in Cleveland before the EPA was set up and regulated pollution into bodies of water. There is no EPA for online video games. WotC is simply a for-profit company that will do whatever they have to do to increase those profit margins.

I have taken several multi-month "rage quit" breaks because of the BS myself. Just got back from a 5 month hiatus.

yup, if you start with 4 or more lands you draw nothing but lands, but if you start with 1 land you dont draw any, same goes with other cards, its very anti-logical and just plain stupid, I really wonder wtf they are doing, a functional shuffler in 2024 shouldnt be that hard

@@FunkMabassUp I played a 150 card OP last night, they top decked two of the same card back to back and then two of another card back to back. Every update the shuffler gets worse.

Well said! I always say on my streams that best case scenario is it is simply horrible coding. One of my favorite lines is "if your five year old child shuffled a deck of cards like this you wouldn't let them do it again."

@@dameongeppetto I just dont see what it would gain them if they rigged it on purpose? pissing people off doesnt earn money, I think its lazy badly coded, same with the fact that they dont even care too add functions like spectate a friend to the game, they are lazy and the game is just a moneymaker with MINIMAL effort too keep it running. Also reflects how poorly optimized the game is for mobile, it eats alot of battery and performs quite shitty for being just a card game with no advanced gaming mechanics

@@FunkMabassUp they are rigging the matchmaking not the shuffler. The shuffler is horrible code, yes you are correct. Who goes first and who you get matched against is where they are putting their thumb on the scale to affect outcomes. Why? Money. If people win too much they don't spend money. If people lose too much they quit the game and stop spending money. They walk a fine line of keeping you angry enough to buy that one card which will make your deck work, but not pushing you over the edge. Think about this: you ever have one of those horrid losing streaks where you are questioning why you even play the game and then suddenly you are matched against a budget jank deck that you beat despite the shuffler not drawing you well? That is the matchmaker helping you stay playing the game (so they can get some money from you or they will beat you down with losses due to bad matchups again).

@@dameongeppetto agree, thats true, I did play on high rank and was top 100 a few times in mythic, still the games felt very little based on skill, more about who went first or who didnt manascrew, most games feel one sided and out of the players control, almost like you are a spectator too your own game, the "on the play advantage" is one of the biggest flaws of mtg in my book

Haha. Gotta love the "variance" in the system.

Satan loves you.

Thanks!

It gets worse with every update.

@@dameongeppettoI really don't see the logic in rigging the game. I am no businessman and not greedy enough ti understand. but the game is suffering. Supposed to be the successor of MTGO but it isn't.

@@NetherVoiD shortsighted vision infects the boardrooms of corporations. Make the stock go up for the quarter so we can make more money off of bonuses is why every major business is destroying their long-term sustainability.

That is the next tutorial video I will be recording. Most likely later this week if I can keep my motivation up.

@@dameongeppettosounds great! Your last tutorial was also great, I’m no longer a moron when thinking about my mulligan

@@1who4me You have to fight your inner "but I have this great card" and just accept that you need to have a good start to every match, regardless of what type of deck you have.

Who doesn't love a fried burrito? Yes, please.

It is science. Use the math, but yeah, with a control deck you need to feel it out a little more. Good luck!

Thanks! I am going to try and do more tutorials going forward along with the original deck videos.

Ah yes, back when people thought I was crazy for saying the shuffler was broken code. Now everyone just nods their head and says, "duh, that stuff don't happen in paper magic."

Thank you. This one got me to Mythic the next day with an 8-2 start in an hour.

I usually do, but since I tweak the deck mid win streak in this video, you can find it after the second win. Mainly just for brevity so the video wasn't closer to an hour, but it is there if you look at the chapters. Thanks for the feedback.

No worries. Love the rants, I feel the same way often!!

@@1who4me most of my videos will have a deck breakdown in the beginning. I have an 11 game win streak video with a different deck that I am editing now (a Boros counters deck that got me to Mythic in less than a week this season).
