Nicol Bolas the forever serpent laughs at your weakness. Gain the tools and knowledge to enhance your game and overcome tough obstacles.

​

Welcome to the latest Monday Newcomer Thread, where you, the community, get to ask your questions and share your knowledge. This is an opportunity for the more experienced Magic players here to share some of your wisdom with those with less expertise. This thread will be a weekly safe haven for those *noobish* questions you may have been too scared to ask for fear of downvotes, but can also be a great place for in-depth discussion if you so wish. So, don't hold back, get your game related questions ready and post away, and hopefully, someone can answer them!

Please feel free to ask questions about deckbuilding and anything Magic related in our daily thread; and we always welcome effortful stand alone posts with new ideas or discussion points.

Finally, please visit Tibalt's Friday Tirade for all your ranting/venting needs. Do not spam this thread with complaints.

What you can do to help?

​

This is a weekly thread, meaning it will be posted once a week. Checking back on this thread later in the week and answering any questions that have been posted would be a huge help!

​

If you're trying to ask a question, the more specific you are, the better it is for all of us! We can't give you any help if we don't get much to work with in the first place.

Question wait a min, there's no WARP in star trek set?

There's not one card I saw has key word WARP so far. not even a SHIP has WARP.

I thought we can have some kind of different WARP SPEED.

Question How does the Arni achievement work

Post image
• Upvotes

Inside the game, it says what in the picture, whereas in the description on the website it says this: Humble Scribe: In a matchmade game, resolve the activated ability of Arni, Humble Scribe three or more times in a single turn

These two are fundamentally different and one is much more of a pain in the ass to attempt. Am I correct in assuming that you can get the achievement by just drawing 4 (or 3?) cards in a turn and then using Arni to deaw another one? Or do I really need to somehow untap him 3 (or 2?) times by playing a non-token creature to get it?

Edit: thanks everyone for the quick answers, the in-game description is definitely the easier one. I'll just plug him into my Sphynx's Approach deck for a pretty easy completion then

Discussion This game badly needs a way to choose a number of times an optional infinite loop will occur

9 Upvotes

It’s the biggest weakness with digital play imo, I just had to watch while someone blinked their green white sphinx for twenty minutes indefinitely gaining one life at a time, and it’s just silly they haven’t found some method or at least shortened the timer in casual for it, really big feels bad that in this game happens to be a big part of what the game intends to be shortcuted.

infinites that win are an on the spot are an entirely different matter.

Fluff I present to you: The Jace, Cunning Castaway experience

Thumbnail

154 Upvotes

I'm shocked I've not seen anyone else doing this in Brawl. [[Jace, Cunning Castaway]] getting to 5 or 6 loyalty with literally any proliferate effect on the field just turns into Jace factory. [[Ichormoon Gauntlet]] means infinite Jaces and infinite turns after about 4 Jaces. And if you don't have that, you can just create infinity 2/2 illusions to swing with.

Or you know, just swing with Jace himself (see second image) using [[Luxior, Giada's Gift]]. A completely normal wincon if ever I've seen one.

Fluff Karn is the funniest thing vs simulacrum synthesizer

Post image
49 Upvotes

Just beat him down with Karn and some rats as I missed getting a 4th land until turn 8 or sth.

Neither did I get a forest. So basically I couldn’t play anything else anyway.

He spammed his entire deck but it’s all artifacts with enter abilities and nothing did anything.

Even his 10 copies of the synthesizer couldn’t help him.

Discussion How to you fight blue decks that counter everything?

18 Upvotes

I’m typically a mono white lifegain, and came across 3 different players playing sinilar decks which seemed like a mix of blue or blue/white. Almost every spell or creature I played was countered or board wiped. Felt very frustrating not being able to play anything. Are there decks that are able to compete against these decks?

Question Does this have a place in Standard landfall?

Post image
10 Upvotes

I know 4 mana is a lot, but I can't stop thinking about T1 Dork, T2 Hydra, T3 this and hopefully hitting a fetchland to swing in for 16 trample.

And the fact that it is only 1 red pip means that there don't even need to be any other red cards, you can just splash this and throw in the shock lands and a couple fast lands and you're good.

I'm not a landfall player, so maybe I am heavily overrating this, but is there nothing here?
