you could pick out a good deck someone has thrown together and play until you have enough wild cards to complete it yourself?

Magic formats/seasons are always changing and new sets rotate in and out so much you can be in an endless cycle of testing and competing if you take it seriously. That's the beauty of the game, it never gets stale so long as you can afford to keep up with the Joneses. That's concerning the actual card game though, Arena has nothing to stir the competitive juices yet.
I've been running a RW control deck that just wrecks RDW about 80% of the time since that deck is so prevalent in the quick ladder play. It needs some tweaks still and wouldnt mind hearing what the masses here think.

So I've been drinking a bunch o wine and playing the game, here's my thoughts:
It seems like i get land screwed waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more often than i did with paper magic. Not saying it always happens, but it happens enough to notice. Almost like the algorithm for the game is "if # of lands < 24, then player gets land screwed 50/50"
you fucking assholes with your cookie-cutter, dimir decks, palying a second turn Thought Erasure.
Not only that, but the surveil mechanic eats up so much time, a game against a blue/black deck takes 30 mins win lose or DRAW MOSTER CARDO!!!!
that is all

And there was no compensation for this? What if you had put real money into the system(I didn't)?

All I see is boros and dimir, just like dom draft was a lot of Gruul. Its making me dislike draft and wish for a sealed choice.

Any purchased gems were refunded, anything you earned through play, including cards, was not. There was also a code for three planeswalkers and one for three packs that all closed beta participants received.

MTGA draft is a bit stale and weird as compared to live draft with actual people. I can't wait until they add a real live draft...The computer draft is just meh.

Wish I hadn't deleted that...oh well.
Still trying to decide between this game and Gwent as my main CCG. Anyone else here play both recently mind sharing their choice?
Ive been playing this super janky deck with a bunch of guild gates, guild summit and an equipment that gives vigilance and menace and +1/+0 for each guild gate I have in play. Poop out tokens with Dawn of Hope and suit up and send them in. The deck is terrible and gets run over 50% of the time since over half the lands come into play tapped. But god when it works is it glorious. Attacking with 3 17/1 menace vigilance lifelink tokens is good times.
