Welcome to the first MTG thread! I figured i would ask everyone what sort of Magic gave you when you began playing it. I had not played magic up until a couple months ago when i decided to give MTG:A a shot. I figure i am not the only one who has played a lot of Hearthstone but little Magic (but if i am that is ok too), but perhaps veteran players would be interested in sharing their thoughts from the past as well.
Overall i think it's pretty fun, although the deck building is much different than i am used to. The resource mechanic of lands is also quite interesting, although it can add a level of frustration if you don't actually draw enough. There are many more complex dynamics to the turn structure and how cards can interact and i think that is pretty cool. I enjoyed what i played, although sometimes it took me a while to comprehend how or why some things happened. It's interesting to observe the similarities and differences between this and hearthstone, which i have played abundantly.
The digital version is great because i don't think i could really get too into the physical version so i could finally introduce myself to this game i always here so much about. I learned a lot over several hours of playing and i definitely see what the fuss is about. It's not something i play a lot of right now, but i am dabbling and figuring out what's strong and what isn't. I seem to prefer green or black decks off the bat, green in particular because it's much easier to get lands on the field.
In terms of flavor the art and themes are great along with the flavour text. That said, i think i still prefer hearthstone in that regard simply because i can relate more to the lore and can enjoy that aspect much more. I'd also say blizzard executes the voice lines and animations better but it is definitely a different type of atmosphere so i don't expect that to be comparable, just preference. I also don't have a huge knowledge of all the different magic sets and what sort of themes they encompass, i should probably check that out one day. I'll continue playing here and there and maybe i'll get hooked on it one day, who knows, but it's definitely a good game. Hard for me to commit to too many games at once though.
Hey there! Thanks for letting us know about this. It looks like the forum was created, but permissions for registered users were not yet set. I could not tell because i can see them all anyway and moved your thread there as obviously it is the appropriate forum! You should now be able to access your thread. Sorry about that!
We have a custom interface planned to continue supporting this, and it should be kickass. Currently we don't have all the features needed to support it here just yet, but quest trading will definitely be brought here, and drastically improved.
For profile management you just need the url currently, which is https://outof.cards/accounts/management, so there is a way to do it, it's just not easily accessible on mobile.
I like using this for when people challenge me or i just don't know what deck i want to play. Having a complete golden deck is also awesome and i doubt i will achieve such a thing naturally.
Woah there's a salt thread here too??? Okay this may be a pretty smooth adjustment
There's some ideas floating around for a dedicated SaltStation to make things a bit friendlier. For now there is indeed a thread, and hopefully everyone can keep things civil :)
I'm really sad to see Hearthpwn go too. It's a place where I made a lot of friends and allow me to hone my cards creation skill. I hope the site will host some Card Creation Competition like the old site. I had an expansion idea ready to go but now the site closed down. :/
The CCC will certainly move here, and we have some cool ideas to enhance it as well which were not possible on Hearthpwn.
I can assure you it hasn't been omitted, but rather it has not been implemented just yet. There's several essential features that are being worked on and they will be deployed in the near future as they are completed! We definitely agree it is a crucial filter for browsing decks.
What needs to happen first is to add functionality to the decks themselves to identify the correct format as this currently is not implemented either. Once that is complete a filter will be possible :)
If the cards that i choose to mulligan could not be replaced with the exact same cards that would be fucking fantastic. That feeling when you try to mulligan and get the same hand...
Welcome! You're definitely not alone with your dislike of Curse and the way they have handled things. Glad to see some new people excited to participate in this fresh start. Enjoy the ride!
Will there be an inkeeper thingy here for my collection as well?
There will most likely be a plugin for use with hearthstone deck tracker at the very least. No ETA of course but it's definitely something that's been discussed.
I don't blame you for being unable to find it atm though. Stickies are not yet functional, but soon. We also have plans for custom tools that may make things like this obsolete, so stay tuned!
In terms of the art, audio, and animations of the card and not the power level. What cards stand out the most to you for whatever reason?
Catrina Muerte has a great intro and i enjoy when it's played on either side of the board. I made sure to get a gold copy of this because i love to play rez priest and resurrecting golden minions is awesome.
Convincing Infiltrator is another one i like the flavour of. The voice line and art is just amusing every time.
Underbelly Fence is my favourite of the rogue cards. The voice line is really good, although i am still unsure exactly what underbelly fence means.
Finally Archmage Vargoth is such a cool card. The art is bright and exciting and i never got tired of hearing 'free of that blasted tower!' repeatedly after he summons copies of himself.
We've got about a week before several cards from Boomsday are getting buffs. What do you all figure will be the biggest changes in the meta? Personally i'm really interested to see what can be done with Extra Arms in Priest. That will be a very flexible card to enable healing synergy and resilient boards. A 1 cost [Hearthstone Card (pogo hopper) Not Found] sounds ridiculous though.
Besides that, how do you feel about this happening and about the fact that the meta is changing again in a potentially significant way?

What was your first experience with MTG like?

An interesting twist. Look forward to playing through this one (and opening those packs!).
