Ixalan's Biggest Dinosaur Value Meta Deck🔥🌳 | MTG Arena LCI Deck Guide & Tips
Can you play for free at only a few games a day? Sure, but why the hell would you play a game where the biggest aspect is deck design freedom, only to be severely limited in resources and then stomped out by meta decks (which people play in casual nonstop btw). The average aggro deck has maybe 10 rares in it and the average control/midrange deck has around 30 rares and 8 to 10 mythics. That will take you an entire seasons of devoting every single one of your wild cards just to craft it with very little time to climb ranked with it. For ranked F2P either play aggro decks or they don't play the game at all because homebrew decks are not worth wasting your wildcards on. It is not a fun experience to log in, que up and lose 70% of your matches because you are lacking so many key cards to even be remotely competitive, just to get dailies done so you can bank enough gold to draft after 5 days. Then when it comes to drafting you actually have to know how to draft to win and you're limited to the reward packs which are always the most recent set. It's the worst, most predatory in game economy of any F2P game I've ever seen because it intentionally gates the biggest parts of the MTG experience behind outrageous costs of time or money and then compounds it with algorithmic manipulation via MMR, hang smoothing and trying to force 50% winrates to encourage buying out of frustration.
I disagree with basically everything you just said, which is impressive. Thanks for commenting 👍
This comment is for the Algorithm gods
@@NouMPSy appreciated 👍
I recently did some math on buying the 20,000 gem option for $100 US and concluded that you get 7 Mastery Passes for the money, when you consider that the Mastery Passes reimburse 800 gems. That's $14.28 US per Mastery Pass and 1.75 years of participation, assuming 4 sets per year. Put into that context it seems like a decent deal as long as you are putting in the time.
A majority of the cards don’t pop up in the deck builder screen. I have it set to standard. Am I missing something?
@@nikoleunig7932 yes, there was a rotation since this video was released, so some of the cards aren't in standard any more.
Arena now has prebuilt decks in the store, is it worth it?
@@finchharper4647 my first impression is no, but I'll be recording a video on them today with more details 👍
I would argue every method is the best until diminishing returns come in. 10 jump ins > 20-30 drafts total > Packs is mostly what I do as a f2p player. I feel jump ins gives more raw cards but drops off quickly. Draft is pretty good too but eventually drops off imho since people starting in gold are harder to win against. Then packs just give the most raw value thereafter.
Have been experiencing very poor Rare and Mythic drafting in the Bloomburrow Premier event. Got only 4 Rares and 3 Mythics in my first attempt (was taking every Rare or Mythic offered to me), and only 4 Rares and 1 Mythic in my 2nd attempt. This puts the Premier event at a terrible return for Rares/Mythics. If I find that this continues, then I plan to no longer buy the Draft Tokens (when they are offered for discount) and only do drafts using the Draft Tokens obtained from the Mastery Pass. Thought you might want to have another data point.
@@mikearms1478 thanks for letting me know 👍
Same here, but found after many drafts you do get better, know what opponent might have and be better at drafting overall.
If you are good at drafting I would say it is, otherwise it seems more like a struggle, given how competitive standard is, where many decks will OTK turn 4, only worse in other formats with a larger pool of cards to select from. Initially spent a lot to be collection complete, later on decided to F2P, by being good at drafting the best way to turn gold into gems.
The solution is to build better decks
yeah, we all done that. You told us many times. Do you have tips on how to grow your collection further? after these basics are done?
To be honest, after you've done initial drafting or jump-in events, the best way to fill out a collection using duplicate protection is by buying the most recent packs. There isn't anything majorly advanced you can do beyond that.
These are great videos, left the game for long time, coming back and many things have changed.
I'm new to arena and trying too understand the free decks in 2024 what boasters do I need or aren't there any
"New Player Experience Explained" - Step 1: Skip tutorial
Sounds funny, but it's nice to know there's the option.
too few lands in this deck, constant problems in the arena with lack of lands
@@piotrwodek2279 not that I've experienced
Thanks a lot for the Videos im learning a lot thanks to them. Im a new player and i was wondering if i buy the mastery pass, always get to 10 daily wins, buy some Jump In tokens but mostly buy packs (not a fan of Draft yet) how much of a set i can get by the end of the set? On average will i get like around 1 or 2 copy of every rare/mythic or 4 copies or even 0 copies of some rare/mythics.
Does anyone know if you get the cards from Quick Draft packs that DON'T make it into your draft deck??
@@Anonymuuse all the cards that you pick are automatically added to your collection.
@@gameschooldadMTG But none of the ones you don't pick right? Its not like you get 12 packs of cards; you only get the ones that make it into the deck right?
@@Anonymuuse yes you only get the ones you pick 👍
Have a question. I just unlocked 2 mythic bloomburrow wild cards but they didn't show in my wildcards? Any suggestions? Thanks
@@garyrice3338 if you mean the mythic ICRs, they're not wildcards, they're a random mythic card from the set. Sometimes the animation that shows you what card you got doesn't show up, so if you just look at your collection page, you'll usually see the card highlighted with 'new' written above it.
Oh I see. Thanks for your help and videos
Maybe this could counter the utter horse manure that is Black/White in standard anymore. I just stopped for the day because I went 0/5, every game was against either Bl/W discard or Bl/W bats and I’m honest-to-god fed up with Standard being “how absolutely cheap can I be?” I like the Green/Blue frogs. I like the Red/White mice..but easily 80% of my experience in standard now is sitting there annoyed as they throw perpetual exiles/kills interspersed with discards while 5 1-2 power fluttering rodents tickle me to death.
Ive been trying to get the”mice” pack from the jump in events but i havent gotten lucky, are there any tips to increase my chances of getting them or should i just spend my coins on quick drafts instead.(I started a week ago btw)
As the Mice pack is red/white, if you don't see it in the first 3 packs to choose from, I'd try to prioritise any other pack that has those colours in it, then it should raise the chance of seeing the mice in the second picks. If you're still picking other packs that you haven't picked before, then you'll get more value out of Jump In at the moment, especially if you just started a week ago and I'm guessing your Standard collection from the past few sets will be almost nothing.
I've played with and against this deck and it's good! I do agree though that it does get annoying if you have to play against it several times in a row. I wish they would do something about that in general with the match making...
I pretty much quit 50% qt beginning pf the game, since it's always thr same cards drawn in brawl it's insane
Ive been brewing this list since heartfire hero was first spoiled and war squeak goes incredibly hard in this list, not only does it trigger valiant on heartfire hero for 1 mana but it gets it out of cut down range and it can make heartfire hero a hasty threat AND it clears blockers, its great
Yeah that's another good one that I didn't pick up on.
Glad to see Sell-Sword pulling its weight, i have been using it in my aggro for months.
Another card you can use is Sunspine Lynx a rare that prevents players from gaining life and deals damage based on how many non basic lands opponent has.
I've seen some versions that include that but it seems pretty expensive for the average mana value in this deck and doesn't do anything to other mono-colour opponents.
Thanks for the analysis! But just a couple of things. Sealed is missing! I think you need to take into account the gems/gold rewards. It really changes the math. Sealed for instance costs 2000 gems. You get 6 limited packs. If you get 3 wins you get 1200 gems and 3 standard packs. So in the end you spend 800 gems on average for 9.5 rares. So a rare costs 84.21 gems that way.
I did a jump in and barely got any Bloomburrow cards. What gives?
I've swapped in scalding salamander to burn aggro and storm splitter to have a huge token attack
decklist in bio is wrong?
@@tonywilde the deck list in the description is the one I actually used (minus the rare lands). The list in the intro is to show alternative cards that also work.
@@gameschooldadMTG ok makes sense sorry I misunderstood ! Thanks !
hey, this is basically gonna be my first deck but i dont have enough uncommon for it, could u recc some common or rare replacements and do u think this would be a good use of my c, cuz rn i need like 2 com, 30 unc and 4 rare
can burning sun's fury and/or sazacap's brew be interesting for this ?
Instant dislike for promoting mono red.
@@astraldreamer331 you can't please everyone 🤣
I will be playing this deck thanks
Great job man, as always💪
Thank you for that. But we would like to ask you to show us some Big Red Control deck. There aren't many of those at the moment.
@@kleronomasrobot2557 I'll see if there's anything viable.
How do you get the number 1.8 rare per pack that you buy? is it 1 (rare/mythic per pack) + 1/6 (rare/mythic wildcard) + 0.1*6 (rare/mythic from golden pack) = 1.76 What is the chance, if any, to get 2 rare/mythic in a pack? is that chance the same while opening packs in a draft?
The comeback in the second game is nuts lol
I haven't watch the video yet. And I am certain your deck will be loss proof/time proof and will be fun to play as always.
Packs and jump in are purchases, draft is investment. You can earn more than u spend, this is a huge difference if you are looking for a future imo. I would also consider events. Great video tho
I thought starter duels would be for new players, not high end players using the brainless Desert Oasis, 3/5 matches is DO. Incredibly discouraging because it's either suffer against it, play high removal EVEN THEN it might not be enough or give into the brainless cheese and play DO.
"I'm not quite sure what the point might be" Uh. IDK, maybe money, like every other shitty thing games do.
@@macegb9364 don't spend money then. Making someone lose doesn't make them spend money either.
Lol "WhY wOuLd ThEy Do ThAt?!? SOMEONE is gonna win!!!" Yeah. And they want it to be the person on their 1st 2nd 3rd or 4th win. They can maintain somewhere around a 50% winrate, which is not profitable for the player. (3-3, or 4-3 you're out, no profit, pay WotC again please)
@@macegb9364 this isn't specifically referring to events, and if that is what you mean, even 3 or 4 wins gives you decent rewards in events that matter, and nothing stops you from going beyond that unless it's a skill issue. (And you don't need to pay for anything on Arena btw 👍)
Just wanted to say thank you for your channel. I've played magic off n on for the past 20 years and every time I come back to arena I stop here for my first resource. Thanks bruhv
@@JPo.404 haha, you're welcome 😁👍
I do not know if this came up, but worth noting is that in the jump in: you do not get the same rare every time with the decks. And the rare have a chance to be upgraded to a mythic.
It depends highly on what you want to do in mtga. If you want to build a meta deck (for example mono red) the overall number of rares doesnt really matter. It's more about getting rare wildcards, which you cant get from jump in.
Yeah if you only want to have one or two decks, building a collection doesn't really matter. If you want to play a variety of decks and have much more choice, then it does.
