it says the entry is 25000 gold. is that up from last time? am i actually saving value by hoarding gold anymore?

edit: ok, nm. paying with gold is indeed big value

afaik the only ratios that exist on arena are 5:1 and 20:3, so you always want to pay gold in the first case, and gems in the second case unless you're low on gems and want to buy the mastery pass (which is afaik the only thing that can't be bought with both)

Unfortunately draft 1 of day two starts at 12am my time and draft 2 starts at 6am my time. I am busy working through an Australian public holiday the next day and can't play in this

As such if youre a magic player and want to play two swiss bo3 draft matches, the first at 1300 UTC and the second at 1900 UTC then its open season

If you want to play the Arena Open day 2 (for fun) let me know and I can give you my account details

edit: got this figured

you said it 'shocked them' when we were talking about it, which made me think it dealt 2 damage with a tapped thopter from 2x damage=artifacts controlled but actually it deals 1x damage=artifacts controlled. an unfortunate thing to be surprised by midway through a game!

i used it and a tapped jodah's codext to deal 2 points of burn to a 3/4 creature on the turn i played elder dragon war, then i thought a little about this thing vs goblin on the average turn, cut the card in disgust and won my 6-1 game specifically because i had splatter goblin instead of it

and that's the tea maybe if i go to sleep right now i can nap between draft 1 and draft 2, then nap after draft 2 but before work, then go to work and maybe pile on a bunch of stimulants during work if i have to
this is going to suuuuuck
but its worth a lot of money
which i do kind of need
