One thing that is still irking me about MTG Arena, is the play first/draw first percentages.
I litterally tracked every game I played from July 5th to yesterday. And I am getting hosed big time.
Only tracked best of one since that's all I played during that time.
Games Played : 5218
Played First : 1817
SO I played first 34.82% of the time.
50/50 my ass.
Posted in MTG Arena last night, crickets. Since normally they say sample size too small, etc...
But back to the meta. Yea FoTD is broken with so little every color hate for lands.

Talking about areas that need improvement, the same issues with land still pop up even if the London mulligan is far better. Honestly, I should mull to 6 just because the London hand is far superior to my starting hand far too regularly. Might as well start with a 6 card hand but in a game of inches, every resource counts. Once Upon a Time is so good just because it helps with mana screw so well. Why in the fuck would you ever not play green in this environment? I can get to 7 mana with mana fixing by the time someone else gets to 4 mana and hopefully the right mana. It's crazy.

One of my favorite standard decks of all time during Kamigawa/early Ravnica. I won my first PTQ playing Land destruction.

You were a knob if you were playing demolish in that deck lol. Stone rain/boomering/eye of nowhere was plenty. You MAYBE played a couple annex at best in the 4 slot.
That entire magnivore deck eventually got replaced by owling mine and wildfire tron/eminent domain decks though.

I loved LD decks. Just another variation of winning and no more oppressive than a lot of other decks over the years. I've taken lots of time off during different eras but one of my favorite LD decks was an Obliterate one during one of my favorite times in MTG, the Invasion block era.

Jesus, watching the Mythic Championship is so painful.
Which Golos deck is going to Agent the most of their opponents FoD first??
This meta sucks.

Felt like they went out of their way to not have golos decks in the feature matches early since there'll probably be a lot later just based on percentages.

Maybe I just tuned in at exactly the right time to see the Golos matchup.
Also, christ this coverage is bad. Trying to treat eSports coverage like regular sports coverage has always been a bad idea. Someone needs to come up with a better way.

Already sick of hearing them refer to a single person as "they" continuously.

Golos mirrors are pretty awful most of the time. Sometimes you get some good games, but a pretty high percentage of the games are very lopsided.
There's a not unreasonable chance some of the G/R and Knight/equipment decks go deep since they're actually good against Golos.
How do knight equipment decks do well against the deck that clogs up the ground with 2/2s and plays wrath of god?

Because it's hard to wrath if you're just dead on turn 4? and Embercleave is real dumb.

I mean that's what Autumn prefers to go by, and whatever you think about the whole pronoun thing WotC isn't going to go down that road.

Fair enough. Autumn is really, really good at this game so this likely isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
