    I wish you could turn mythic wildcards into rare wildcards. Rares eat the most wildcards after all, and mythics tend to be more kooky than efficient. I would prefer the ability to squeeze 2 rares out I of a mythic, but I think that's far too optimistic a feature from wotc. 😅

      I didn't like the 1000 gold per pack for like 8 cards when it should have been maybe 500 gold
      Now converting WCs is what I wanted
      1 MWC = 3 RWC
      1 RWC = 6 UWC
      1 UWC = 9 CWC

      You should be able to trade uncommon for commons and then common for rares same for the other🤔

    Good advice for new players. On ranked play, you don't have to "achieve" bronze rank. All you have to do is play one game in ranked each season, win or lose, and you will be ranked at least bronze for that season. So, everyone should play (win or lose) at least 1 ranked game per season to get a free pack (you could just start a game and auto concede). Also, for players that choose not to draft, don't let that free premier draft token from the MP go to waste, but be sly about how you use it and when you play your games. Each set usually spans 3 ranked seasons (calendar months), so the premier draft you enter with your token can span those three months as well as long as you don't complete the event. You play at least 3 games, so you can spread those games out by playing 1 game in each of the months the set spans and get limited ranked in 3 seasons with a single token, so you get 3 free packs rather than 1. For example, MKM started in Feb, so you could start a MKM premier draft in Feb, play just one game and get ranked for Feb. Then play one game in March and get ranked for March. Then play one game in April (before the new set drops) and get ranked for April.
    If you're going to be totally F2P, you really have to quick draft. I did this for a long time and never had any trouble earning my gems for the MP each set (+ a bunch extra) and I am ~ 47% win rate (rare drafting) player on average in Qdraft. I just don't care for the time pressure and results-matter stress of quick drafting to earn my MP each set. I was sitting on a stash of 9000+ gems when golden packs were introduced and I switched to no-draft mode. On set completion, I'm getting pretty similar results as I was with quick drafting, but now I'm spending down my gems. When the time comes, I think I'll be fine spending money on gems to buy the MP for each set. If not, I'll go back to quick drafting.
    One note on production... @8:00 that slow background zoom was making me nauseous. Anyone else?

    @roy4173 4 месяца назад +2

    Something worth noting. Bo1 constructed events aren't a bad way to convert gold into gems. I'm someone who loves drafting (but I'm only average at it). So running constructed events every time I hit 2.5k gold allowed me to draft more frequently with a lower win rate. Additionally, you can also get packs from constructed events which will allow you to win more consistently thus converting more gems to gold, aka, more drafts, lol. Mono red is a good way to get your feet wet in these events. Then you can slowly upgrade to something better like the humans deck or some Ux control deck.

    Used to be, you could trade your unwanted cards to someone for cards that you wanted. In digital format, they locked out this standard feature of the game due to greed and a total unwillingness to give their player base any compelling reason to continue playing.

    It would be great if they brought the MTGO mechanic where you can enter a draft with 3 packs. I would love to play a prerelease and get 2 drafts in with my code on arena or a free draft with the set code each set.

  • @1who4me

    Wrong on one thing- you need less wins in premier draft to get a ROI. Quick draft has really poor rewards compared to premier draft as well.

    I haven’t spent any money on Arena since 2019. I currently have something like 300 unopened packs and around 600,000 gold. That’s not because I’m a really good player, that’s just because I play quite often. And with the 50% forced win/lose ratio, I’ve realized that the easiest way to both rank up and earn wild cards and that stuff is due. Just play a lot of games. Play aggro mostly, those games may last only about six or seven turns. You could have a aggro deck that only has about a 51% wine ratio, outperform a blue white control that has a 80% win ratio, but takes 30 minutes per game. I don’t waste my time on games that I’m obviously meant to lose. You can tell if you’re gonna win or lose a game usually within the first three turns.

    I know people complain about the MTGA economy, but honestly, compared to paper magic, it's so much better. In real life you have to pay for every card you want to play with. But here you can get so much just from playing the game. At 1000 coins to buy a booster pack, each completed daily quest is equivalent to something like 5 bucks towards buying a pack from a store. Not to mention the existence of wildcards. If you want a specific card irl, you either gotta go out of your way to buy it from a third party, or you keep buying packs til you get it.
