That's just how things go, we were doing great for years. Seems CCGs in general have been trending downwards, even Hearthstone is having dead threads. Doesn't help that MTG also has multiple threads on /tg/ which are much more active and siphon posters away.

I'm new to magic. My opponent had Preacher of Schism. Why does her get the 1/1 Vampire Token when he has less life than me when it attacks?
It says "the player with the most life"?

Historic since alchemy is fun. People in Arena love to netdeck but Alchemy gives you an edge, there are a lot of strong cards that aren't allowed in Pioneer/Modern so you can actually brew an unique and strong strategy nobody else plays and be successful

I can only imagine how dreadful it is getting lands for eternal formats as someone that wasn't playing when arena launched. Every cycle of duals is 40 rare wildcards each for the complete set. And you don't need every cycle, but still it's a fuck load of rares.

You're a whiny immature bitch, that's your problem. Tone down your expectations and know that you won't always win. You come off as someone that's been handed everything they've wanted their entire life. Magic is a competitive game, not a coping vehicle. If you can't handle losing you should be playing single player games instead.

>>506244341
They're now pushing historic brawl as the default brawl format so they shortened the name and renamed brawl to "standard brawl"

It's happened to me in constructed a few times but never in draft. Every time it's happened I didn't lose or gain rank progress. It's technically a draw iirc so it shouldn't count as a loss
