Sorry but that's not the case. Show me a deck of common/uncommons that beats a deck of rares/mythics. The cost of entry therefore is extremely high if you want that thrill of beating a decent deck.

Au contraire. I won first place recently with this heroic shenanigans deck:

Instant (14)

2x Dauntless Onslaught
4x Gods Willing
2x Mizzium Skin
4x Swift Justice
2x Triton Tactics

Land (20)

3x Azorius Guildgate
4x Hallowed Fountain
3x Island
10x Plains

Creature (18)

4x Battlewise Hoplite
4x Fabled Hero
4x Favored Hoplite
4x Phalanx Leader
2x Wingsteed Rider

Enchantment (4)

2x Aqueous Form
2x Ordeal of Thassa

Sorcery (4)

4x Hidden Strings

Sideboard (15)

2x Aqueous Form
3x Brave the Elements
2x Dauntless Onslaught
2x Mizzium Skin
4x Ordeal of Heliod
2x Triton Tactics

most expensive card is Hallowed Fountain at $10 a piece, mostly commons and uncommons, only other rare is Fabled Hero at $2 a piece, total deck value $55, beating decks that cost hundreds with it = priceless.

Been waiting for a key from Blizz from the opt in, no luck yet.

Another round of NA keys was just distributed yesterday (Wednesday 20th), so if anyone is still waiting check your Email.

Open Beta is set for December--

Game Release I think end of December/January--

been playing. pay to win. not impressed.

It's a fucking card game of course it's gonna have money sinks.

It's fun as hell though and they've done a great job so far, I'm quite impressed.

i DO enjoy it dont get me wrong. i just dont really feel like dropping 100$ into the game in order to feel competitive. you could make a magic deck with commons and uncommons..maybe a rare or two, not be top tier.. but still put some smack down on people.

[Millburn]

Isn't Arena the same thing as Drafting in Magic? I haven't actually gotten into that part of it yet but it seemed the same on the surface. Isn't that a way to still be competitive without dumping obscene amounts of money into Hearthstone?

Question for everyone.

Should I throw down $$ for a MTGO account and do Sealed Deck tourneys for shits and giggles every now and then? I want to relive the magic days of my youth (97-00) during like 3rd edition. Will I achieve that fun?

ya but it costs gold ( money ) to enter as well. granted its not that much and is doable w/o paying anything out of pocket but the grind time vs the 2 dollar fee is laughable.

[Millburn]

How long does each Arena take to complete?

[Erasong]

till you lose 3 or win 9. reward is based on how many matches youve won.
