As of now, a 3cc sorcery that does everything languish does is played in 50%-66% of the black or red matchups you play. Dash, burn, and proper sequencing gets around it. It will be true for the cheap wraths and it will be true for the expensive ones. The thing is that a deck like MonoRed heavily relies on winning game 1. Similar to playing Affinity in modern. You have really good game 1 matchups and REALLY need to win them because other decks are significantly better vs you postboard. On the other hand, if you are playing a deck like Abzan Control, you can easily afford to lose game 1. | ||

We're still casual kitchen table style, but people are getting more and more tryhard about it (which is a good thing btw), bringing decks closer and closer to competitive modern decks like affinity. Right now I'm trying to find decks that I like, not too expensive and making proxys to try them out, testing a bit around before I start spending cash. Any recommendation, tip, anything? Especially to save money, from what I've seen so far, a sizeable chunk of a deck's price is in the land part, are they really critical or can they be replaced for cheaper alternatives? Is buying booster packs worth it considering I own no cards? My friend has insane luck, he got a foiled tarmagoyf from a modern master 2015 box, but I doubt this kind of things happens for commoners like me. Lastly, any (somewhat) cheap deck you can recommend? I dislike rush and burn decks but other than that anything works. | ||

Packs aren't really worth it most of the time. Most of the cards you want you won't likely open, so just spend the money on events or cards for constructed. I personally enjoy playing sealed/draft events where you can get cards from packs and additional packs from prizes. I can't really think of anything cheap outside of an aggro red deck right now. The MTGSalvation forums are a good place to read about some discussion about decks though if you haven't checked that out yet. | ||

Yeah it's not entirely stable yet but so far it seems at least a marked improvement from Duels 2015, which set the bar real low. I'm having fun with it, and I'm glad to be playing Magic again. It's clear they are trying to scalp some of the more hardcore Hearthstone players, which makes sense. Hearthstone has proven that you can have a free to play collectable card game that is so fun people want to spend money on more cards, and MTG:O is ancient, difficult to use, and just as expensive as paper magic. | ||

I bought coins in the shop, did the transaction and stuff, I received nothing and I still lost the money. Hope it's due to servers and I can get a refund or get my coins. | ||

I didn't experience any connection issues but what got me disappointed is the fact that not all the cards from Origins will be in MD and there are rarity restrictions. Such a stupid decision. Eh, they're going to be expanding at a fairly rapid rate. This is supposed to be their platform for all future releases as opposed to a DotP every year, so we're probably going to see regular increases in the size. I have to admit, there is a certain charm trying to cobble together constructed decks from cards that are typically only fringe playable in limited. | ||

I was expecting magic duels to replace MTGO in the near future as the default client. Obviously i was wrong and MD feels like its purpose is to bait the players into the real thing. | ||

It was made to replace the yearly DotP releases (which do precisely what you just stated), so it's not surprising. | ||
