  • Rarran has never played magic arena, he has only seen cards from when guessed how good magic cards are with pvvdr. Hearthstone is not too different from Magic right?

    Hearthstone is a card game based on WOW, it is also a digital card game.

      Like theres a line where chandra thinks to herself about how she could never be in a relationship with nissa because she only likes big burly buff guys, i think it even mentions her being attracted to gideon (which is shown a total of 0 times before and after that is written).

    2) as a HS player you really should learn how to use Instants in opponents turns
    3) you dont cast things before your attack to have free mana and (at least) bait enemy you have something in your hand. after attack there is second main phase when you cast your things

    Also - Murder is an instant - you can use it in your opponent's turn, that way you can trick him into buffing a creature and as a response to his action to kill it. That alone makes the game so much deeper. Being able to respond to an action rather than having a passive board state is the magic of MAGIC.

  • @TheWoahbro
    @TheWoahbro Před 2 lety +23

    Rarran,
    You can activate Full Control by holding CTRL or toggle it by SHIFT+CTRL it makes it so that most game actions pause the game until you pass back priority to your opponent. This is part of a larger Magic mechanic called the stack. This is the in-progress part of most spells and actions played. Certain archetypes of decks are entirely played during the stack, and if you have possible game actions during the stack the program automatically pauses for you.
    Arena is designed to use turn timers, it's very similar to chess, where each player gets a certain amount of time each turn. Full control or the deck archetypes that play on the stack, use your time bank for the turn. - it's also the reason why it moves so fast on your opponent's turn, it's using their time bank, and magic assumes each player knows their own deck.
    Edit: Good Video Fun content!

      Please dont go around telling people to play with full control. While it has its benefits sometimes(ex. Scry instants before draw steps) its totally pointless to hold it up all the time. Also magic gives you the option to have certain aspects of full control turned on without needing to press resolve at each step.

      The first steps in MTG-Arena do not reflect the real experience that the game can offer. This allows you to take control of the interface and understand the basic mechanics (phase, mana, combat, capacity, type of spell) and therefore remains simple (see disappointing).
      If MTG is considered more complex, it comes from the possibilities of card associations like all TCGs. On this point MTG has a pool of unique edited cards unmatched (22,630). Certain combinations can make useless cards devastating in the appropriate game in a way that is perhaps more pronounced than in other games, because the cards can affect the structuring rules of the game (game phases, win conditions, etc.)
      For a beginner player, this complexity is not accessible at first sight, because hidden by the formats. Each format allowing more or less extension (nothing unique), this virtually reduces the number of possible associations. There is a real power gap between each format (Draft, Standard, Historic), but there is also a power gap between MTG-Arena and the "paper" version of the game.
      To conclude, MTG is a game: "Easy to Learn, hard to master", the first steps are no more complicated than elsewhere, widely accessible to a child.
      I hope this will have answered your question.

    Not sure if you read comments on videos that are multiple days old, but just in case, here's a heads up: The way WotC makes money with Magic is by releasing new decks/cards every 3 months or so, while phasing out the cards that came out (I think it was) two years prior. The reason you could not do standard play is because the mono-Black deck you got out of the Colour Challenge is about five years old by now, hence why you had to play Alchemy instead of Standard.
    The Colour Challenge is basically the second part of the tutorial. You have to finish all 25 pre-scripted matches to unlock all five (now defunct) mono-coloured decks. The reason you want to do that anyways is that once you have done all of them, the game gives you 10 free dual-coloured "preconstructed decks" that do a good job of showing you what any given colour pairing does and are actually pretty good even if you don't modify them.
    My recommendation? Do the remaining four Colour Challenges off-stream (may want to consult a walkthrough for one of the blue ones; if I remember correctly one of them is closer to a puzzle than anything) and do your first "proper" Standard match with one newly unlocked legal Standard deck of your choice the next time you stream this and get the gold you need for Quick Drafts from that. That way chat can help you get familiar with some mechanics of other colours than black as well.

    I don’t play Hearthstone, but I love Magic, so I’m excited to see you pick it up! Let me info-dump a little bit to show you some of the cool stuff.
    You like Warlock in Hearthstone, so you’d probably feel at home using black cards. Black is really good at hard-killing creatures, and they focus on using alternative resources like health (and your own minions) to get extra value like Warlock does. There’s way more opportunities to get sacrifice value since Magic has no limit to the number of minions that can be on the board at once, so you can spam fodder to your heart’s content.
    Also, don’t underestimate the power of Instant cards! They can be played *any* time you get priority, even if it’s not your turn! A classic Black trick is declaring a disposable minion as a blocker and using a card like Deadly Dispute to sacrifice it before damage is dealt. Weird Magic Shit means that the minion is still blocked (unless it has Trample) and you got extra value for free. Even without all the tricks, it’s generally best to avoid activating effects at “sorcery speed” (on your main phase) unless you absolutely have to. No need to reveal your hand until your opponent falls into your trap.

    Rarran, if you complete at least 4 of the 5 color challenges, you unlock all the pvp gamemodes. One of these is jump in, where you can spend 1k gold to form a deck made of 2 half decks, its a very interesting sealed format and for new player can both teach you how to play certain colors/tribes and gives you a ton of cards, by far the most efficient way to obtain common and uncommon cards. I hope you keep it up with the mtg content
