For any new player, remember to google mtga arena codes. There will be a code for 3 packs from every set. Netting you atleast 30 free packs. This is the single most benificial thing to do when you start your account. After redeeming the packs you can now craft mono blue in standard within a few days. This is a playable tier 2-3 meta deck that will allow you to play at a decent level from the get go. Total cost in bo1 - 4 rares. Have a magical time 👏

So from a meta standpoint t3 decks are anything that, statistically, underperforms in the current meta of played decks. A t3 deck will normally net a below 50% win rate. T2 decks are considered as decks that will net you a 50% win rate at the least. T1 decks are considered as a deck that is overpreforming. A deck that nets you a roughly 60% win rate would be t1. A decks tier placement is dependent on average win rates among users. The tiers can change depending on what decks make up the most popular builds in the meta. The most played, or popular, decks aren't always t1. A t1 deck could be a counter to the most popular played decks. It would become t1 by netting a massive WR over the popular decks. Sometimes t1 decks really are just the best though. Mono U is a good t2 deck but individual winrates are going to be dependant on the users skill as well as luck.

IMO, something else to touch on, for follow up video, which someone briefly describes below, is after you've built up your collection, will usually have a ton of common and uncommon wildcards. When you do, save them for the next set, use the common and uncommon wildcards on as many as you can before opening a single pack or participating in a single draft event, etc. Then, when you receive duplicates, they'll all go toward advancing your vault, essentially trading up your common and uncommon wilds for mythic and rare wilds (at a terrible rate, but hey, if not going to use them for anything anyway, better than just having a million common wilds sitting in bank for no reason, lol).

Absolutely fantastic video! One thing that would be good to talk about, for beginners, is the Alchemy packs, and their differences... I took a break from MTG when Alchemy came out, and angrily accidentally purchased an Alchemy bundle instead of the legit bundle of packs when I started playing again. After contacting customer support, and trying to get them swapped to the real set, which they wouldn't, they did finally make the packs in the store much more noticeably different at least though...

One point that might be helpful to new players: The only way to really get value from your large quantities of uncommon and common wild cards is to convert them into cards of the current set that you enjoy drafting before you complete the set. In this way you can farm the draft chaff and at least gain some vault progress. Do you really need 100+ commons sitting around? Complete the playsets of ones you already have 2 or 3 of. There are tools to help you identify and even simplify crafting them all at once.

Thoughts on Premier draft? Strikes me as a more high stakes version of a quick draft - if you hit the 3/4 win mark it’s a great way to grind, but less wins is a heavier loss while more is a better gain. Other note in general is that you get additional value from purchasing draft/limited because you can play for a few hours in addition to getting packs and cards which is nice.
@gameschooldadMTG
@gameschooldadMTG Жыл бұрын
For the purpose of building a card collection, Premier Draft is just double the entry fee for almost the same amount of cards, so it's not the most effective. But for decent limited players, the gem rewards are better and it's a little easier to go infinite if you're good enough. Higher risk and higher reward for people who are good at drafts.
@thenumbernurturer4066
@thenumbernurturer4066 Жыл бұрын
IMO, if you're rare drafting, you'll get FAR more rares and mythics in Premier draft than quick draft. At least double, often more, especially if premier drafting late in the set release. I can usually pick up 10 rare/mythic per premier draft, often getting one even 5th or 6th pick. Many rares and mythics don't translate well to limited, and real people just pass them, where quick draft computer doesn't let them go that long.

Any recommendation for at what point the "switch" happens on set collection to go from Quick Drafting to build out your collection on a given set to just buying packs? For example, on BRO I'm at 90% total with 378/404 Common complete playset, 78/80 Uncommon, 50/68 Rare, and 17/23 Mythic. I have done a fair bit of drafting on BRO and feel like I'm hitting that diminishing returns, but could probably do some and try to mythic/rare draft or draft for complete playsets and abandon hope on building a cohesive and winning deck. Anyways, just wondering in your opinion when you think it's wise to transition from putting gold towards Quick Drafts and start putting them into Packs. Thanks!
@gameschooldadMTG
@gameschooldadMTG Жыл бұрын
I think it's hard to give a definite answer of when the switch should happen. There's a big grey area where the draft starts to lose value slightly. I'd say if you have that much of the set completed already, then packs are probably the way to go. I'm just making a video on this topic in more detail that'll be out in the next day or two 👍
@pointyheadYT
@pointyheadYT Жыл бұрын
I switch at around 50-60% completion of all rares+mythics, so just take an average. If the disparity is big, like, you have 65% rares completed, but only 35% mythics, then I'd wait for mythic packs to come out towards the end of the set and buy those. At 60% rare+mythic collection completion I usually have about 100-150 unopened packs, depending on how well I did at drafts, so opening them at season end is likely enough to instacomplete the entire collection. Rule of thumb for me is, when you start regularly seeing 2+ duplicate rares/mythics per draft, its not worth it anymore. Also, if your winrate is below 55% play quickdraft, if its above go for premium. Oh, and don't forget, there's no shame in rare-drafting. Hope this helps, gl.

@gameschooldadMTG
@gameschooldadMTG 11 ай бұрын
I could make a whole video on this because the answer can be a little complicated! It partially depends on how many Quick Draft games you win on average per event. If you win 3 or more on average, then Quick Drafts will stay more efficient until you start seeing rares in the draft that you already have 4 copies of. If you win fewer than 3 games per event on average then it's much closer, and I would probably just go with whichever method you enjoy more. It also depends on whether you're spending gold or gems on the draft, because most people would spend 5,000 gold, which could get you 9 rares if spent on packs.

I personally changed from drafting as much as possible and changed it up because of the value of the gold packs. I heard about the dup protection so I crafted 4x of almost all of the commons and uncommons before purchasing any packs (I also crafted 4 Steel Seraph's). Then I purchased over 55 packs and opened them. I didn't see any dup protection happening. In the Bro packs I ended up opening 2 more Steel Seraph's and kept getting the same commons and uncommons that I already have. It was even comical with the commons I had 10 commons at 3x and somehow I didn't pack a single one. Then I opened my gold packs and the same thing happened their too. Did the dup protection stop on purchased packs for the Bro set or am I just crazy unlucky?

Any extra commons and uncommons go towards vault progress instead of swapping for different cards, so you might see the same ones coming up over and over again. Crafting all the commons and uncommons before opening packs will only guarantee you fill your vault faster. Because Steel Seraph is a rare, if you have already crafted 4 of them, you shouldn't see them at all when you open packs, it should automatically swap out for a different rare.

I came across a video before showing someone opening packs of them and it wasn't only giving them a Mythic card (with commons and uncommons), it was giving lots of rares with the one Mythic. The last pack they opened gave them Gem's. How does that happen cause I would love to do that?

@@randyrobineau2699 Streamer got gems from pack instead of rare card? I will assume that he plays a lot and he already has all the rare cards of the BRO set. In this case, you get 20 gems for an extra rare or 40 gems for a mythic. But beginners do not need to buy extra packs just for the sake of a small number of gems. It is better to wait and spend resources on the packs of the new Phyrexia: All Will Be One set. I am sure that they will be given gold packs for them, as it happens when buying 10 packs of BRO. I'm sorry for my English, it's not my native. I don't really understand the situation with Seraph Angel - can't help with that. When buying packs, you couldn't get extra copies over 4 copies, but from other sources (draft, irc rewards for daily wins, weekly free events, battlepass mastery) - you can. In this case, only 20 gems.

Is Mastery Pass really the best option to spend gems on currently? I've played Arena about 3 years ago and I remember mastery pass being better back then, more generous. The same applies to "deals" in the store. Packs used to cost 500-600gold as for "daily deals". Overall the game seems to be a bit more stingy than in 2019-20! And even then people complained that it is more greedy than Hearthstone.

I find that you should build up your gold reserves just for current set you're playing in, and when the next set arrives, you'll have a decent amount of wild cards able to craft and enough gold to buy up alot of packs, build up your treasure chest and replenish your wild cards. All in the effort to max out all the rares and mythics. And from thereI you're able to farm gems, usually 20 gems from a rare = 1000 gold per pack you're spending and at the same time you're building up your wild card crafting meter. All you need is just one near completed set to farm off of. And not every set is a winner and must have, so you'll replenishing your gems and crafting meter pretty fast towards a set that you're looking forward to and rinse and repeat. Worked great for Crimson Vow, skipped investing heavily in the next to, and, worked on Brothers War. I basically have two sets to farm off of.

The Standard Event is a good way of converting gold into gems if you don't want to play draft games, but I would only do it if you have a top tier deck, because competition there is likely to be harder.

There are two routes you can take.

The gold pack bonus makes it still pretty good for rare cards and the wildcards make it easier to build the decks that you personally enjoy.

If you ever have 4 copies of a rare and open it in a draft, then you'll start missing out. The wildcards you get from packs are more useful than any specific rare.

One point with Jump In that I hadn't realized before; the rewards for actually playing are peanuts. You can just buy the decks and resign immediately. Even though I've been playing for a couple years I should probably buy Jump In packs as long as I don't have 4x of most the rares in the packs. And spending a rare wildcard on something that exists in Jump In is a waste. And I shouldn't open any BRO packs before getting all those rares, because of duplicate protection. Any fault in my logic here? Does everyone go through the Jump In packs when a new set is released and no one told me?

Your logic sounds pretty reasonable to me.

You might start a new jump in event and only be given the options that you've already collected, for example.

I wouldn't use too many rare wildcards early on if possible, but there are many good decks you can build that don't need many rares or mythics at all.

Just never play the dying format ( standard ) again. Play brawl/hist brawl, have fun and only ever need 1 of each card lol. I've had 3 accounts going on mtga for years just to draft.

The RNG programming on this game is absolute garbage. It's a good thing you can't purchase this game on steam because the reviews would be overwhelmingly negative. So many matches are lost and won with nothing to do with the deck or player, just garbage programming. I smirk whenever I see people actually spending money into this pile of garbage.

one more thing. NEVER BUY THE REGULAR PACKS. always buy the mytic one. its more expensive. i know! but you always get a mythic.

I'd say there are lots of times you would prefer having a rare rather than a mythic. Many top tier decks require more rares than mythics too. The extra 30% cost would make a big difference to the amount of packs you'd be able to afford.

Rares are generally better than mythics. Always buy the regular packs unless you already have most of the rares in a set.

That's not been my experience. If you spend any money, all it really does is save you some time. Many people have shown that you can fully complete sets without spending anything. I've only ever bought the welcome bundles and I do ok. And your win rate isn't necessarily anything to do with how many cards you have. Even beginner players can make decent budget decks that have more than 50% win rate. I'd say for a game that you can play entirely for free if you want to, it's a pretty good deal 👍

The game basically floats you at just above 50%... unless you are entering Events. The events are the only actual random part of this game... so unless you have an actual good deck and fully grasp the meta you will get stomped by full time players

Because both 500 gold quests are the same, it doesn't really matter which one you cycle first, unless there's one quest you'd rather complete than the other one.

This makes no sense. To win 7 games in a row you can't use a deck with a 70% win rate. You need a deck with a much higher winrate to win 7 times in a row, or seven out of however many. You need a deck that has a winrate of 70% TOTAL, which means all games you play, not a 70% winrate deck. This guide just tells you to earn points by having a good deck already and grinding. Fast if you're got nothing else to do in life, but queue for 20hours straight.

I'm not sure what you mean about a 70% win rate deck... and I don't think anyone needs to spend hours straight to build a good card collection. Did I say that somewhere? Let me know which part you're talking about with a time reference 👍
