    I can't describe how utterly pissed off I am. It's only the third time Battle of the 4 Tribes is running, but it's already the second time that the cascading POS AI killed me by turn three in Azor's Gateway. Why do cascades exist? And why do they almost exclusively happen to the AI?
    Today is in fact a memorable day because in TG I actually had the first cascade in weeks. Unfortunately it was in a completely meaningless TG match and the AI was at 1 health anyway, so even my own cascade was annoying because it prolonged a match that had already been won.

    In the BoFT today, I pulled my first creature on turn 25. My second creature showed up on turn 45. In the meantime I faced constant AI cascades and perfect matches, etc. It’s a wonder I survived that many turns. **** RNG. Seriously **** and frankly - senseless. How could programming be THAT bad??

    What a bizarre moment.

    I had my scariest match against Azor's Gateway yet. He got out that create a treasure at the end of turn support on his first turn, and I never managed to cycle to enough support destruction to kill it. Scariest was when a gem changing support gave him just enough loyalty for his ability… I managed to keep him from getting the City's Blessing throughout, but he got awful close. I did manage to win with both objectives, but boy was I surprised I did.

    It's kinda a slap to the face for them to be selling Mythics for $40.00 again when they lead ypu to believe that packs will actually contain them.  This should be their disclaimer:  We know you havent got anything good in the past month playing IX events, we set it up that way.  BTW if you really want good cards your going to have to buy them.  Thanks for being a customer.

    And we will render your expensive exclusive cards worthless in no time at all!

    Don’t we all love it when you have 3 creatures in your deck and the second one shows up at turn 15? On an enraged match. Thanks to the **** programming of Greg. Way to go. That’s the FOURTH time this happens in one event. That has very little to do with luck. That’s poor programming.

    nah, the program most likely knows it's just you and it whenever you show up the AI goes, "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

    This weekend playing 1.1 I had a Nahiri deck with 5 creatures in it.  My first 4 cards were all Deem Worthy.  No win in 5 for me!

    I'm content starved. I want some PVE or a mid-week coalition event. Grinding runes with Heroic Encounters is boring. 

    Feed me!!!

    I believe that would be 0.00109421%. So, not highly likely. :smile:

    I had this happen this weekend as well, 6 creature Koth and I pulled nothing but spells and supports for the first 4 rounds.

    So I don’t pay money in this game.... simply try and grind. There are Rares/mythics that I’ve been chasing in SOI for a while and i get so frustrated sometimes with the drop rates.... never get even a rare that isn’t a dupe of the few that I already have... it’s hard not to just want to spend my crystals on new planeswalkers than keep banging my head against that elusive wall..... is it worth it to keep spending my crystals on the big boxes???

    these are odd times in mtgpq. The RIX boosters seem quite generous with rare/mythic output, but a lot of them will be dupes if you half at least half the collection.  I had a ton of crystals before Ixalan and now I'm on a tight budget to save up for Karn.  Fortunately planeswalkers and sets will rotate in again later, so you'll get chances in the future.  It's all about deciding what's the most important for you to have now.

    Amk is going to rotate soon. Here you have A KLD event giving you AMK rewards! And for the free dailies we'll be giving you KLD and AMK packs! RIX boosters? Nope, you'll get some once a month, that has to be enough

    Finally a chairperson, my quest to become the level 81 paladin of these threads is finally complete!

    But, alas, I cannot express my joy in all caps.

    Much sadness.

    Hopefully every other letter will suffice ;)
