Good to see you back pal I found your vids around the time you took your break and have been binge-watching almost all of them ever since. Getting back into arena after like a 3 year break haven't played since ravnica allegiance and war of spark haha 😆 Your content is definitely worth supporting very helpful advice and super interested in your complete list for useful standard cards among other stuff so I'll definitely checking out that patreon of yours. thanks for the helpful content dude! 💪

[@gameschooldadMTG]

Thanks for the kind comments. Glad my videos have been useful for you!

[@cedricvillanueva7853]

As a beginner in MTG and MTG arena thank you for this vid! I'm kinda bummed that my mono red deck will not be valid in standard in September but hey I'll just enjoy when I can.

[@gameschooldadMTG]

There's only really Play With Fire and Kumano that rotate out in September that are staples in mono red aggro. Shock replaces Fire and any other hasty 1 or 2 drop will probably replace Kumano. So it shouldn't be too different to be honest! Glad the video was helpful 👍

@@gameschooldadMTGawesome! I'll have a look at those. keep up the great work!

Glad to see you back Dad.

[@gameschooldadMTG]

Thanks, I need to get back on with it after my break!

[@jmoney9494]

I have been playing for a few months and never noticed the slider for best of 1 or best of 3 haha

[@gameschooldadMTG]

It's not super obvious to be honest!

“Most people hate it, some people like it, and Wizards of the coast like to push it as much as possible” has to be one of the best summaries of Alchemy.

Helpful for me as a beginner

[@gameschooldadMTG]

Glad to hear that

[@Stsebastian8900]

Iv started in Standard, i nearly own all the cards from wilds of eldrain, i now want to start getting lord of the rings cards because , I LIKE IT. but yer i know i cant play them in standard, and i think their rotating out soon in alchemy.... Is their any point getting them, im to intimidated to play in any other formats since i dont own many cards yet, so ill just get crushed in other formats? Shame we cant just play in a lord of the rings only format lol

[@gameschooldadMTG]

Yeah they'll be rotating out of Alchemy in a couple of weeks, so they'll only be usable in Historic and Timeless, which can be intimidating, but if you put your resources into making at least one competitive deck that you enjoy, you can still play in those formats. You don't need to have loads of cards unless you want to play lots of different Historic decks.

[@2mmalt]

It's sad I can't access the other formats. I can only access alchemy and bot match unless I did something wrong.

[@gameschooldadMTG]

I'm guessing there must be something in the new player experience that you haven't completed yet? Starter Deck Duel, Spark Rank, etc?
