    The "odd" angle is important...

    This isn't bar trivia, so you are allowed to web search stuff like, say, my sig...

    Right genre, wrong song. Maybe if I switch the lyrics to something more relevant...

    Nope. Apropos to nothing, decided to change my sig. For some reason I am obsessed by song lyrics. I wonder if that is relevant somehow...

    No activity for a while, like there's just an empty space.

    Nope. Or I might add, not even.

    ...although if I were to comment about the card, I would call it strange.

    Good idea, as was Defile, but no. It is a board clear, but the rest of the riddle is about pop culture references and a small pun. Nothing about how the board clear operates.

    I could have used a more recent pop culture reference, but I didn't and it's what I've got to face.

    Edit: italicized a hint.

    Not quite. There is an old pop culture reference in the riddle.

    OK, this one will be short and probably easy:

    I come from out of the past

    to defy chance to clear your board.

    Leaving aside the issue of who would want to play Eternal (because "nobody" is the obvious answer), Eternal would be a nightmare to maintain. I am guessing what you want is that the card magically change back and forth when it is the Eternal and Wild collection. And how would you explain to new (or even not new) players that the megabomb card they were using in their Eternal deck turned into a turd, but their other cards are literally just the same? I would expect that most players would consider this a bug, and would expect tons of "bug" reports.

    And in other freebie news, a code for 2000XP "ExperimentalOverload", maybe for all of the server delays this weekend (Historic Brawl + Arena Open -> server meltdown).

    And today, a sort of stealth Stonks. 500 free gold, but instead of being on the left where you see it by default they stuck it on the right. Free stuff is great, but now I will feel obliged to look at the deals every day, even when what I see is just some stale ol' cosmetic.

    Edit: dyslexic grammar fix.

    Kinda figured that, so I compromised by posting the link but not the code, so as not to be too spoilery.

    Another day, another draft. U/G this time, featuring Body of Research and Wormhole Serpent. Went 5-3, but more importantly I got the meme 26/26 unblockable fractal combo once. Forgot to take a pic for posterity unfortunately.

    Edit: And I love (seriously!) that Body of Research links to a version with Spanish text. I can read enough to know the translation is spot on.

    Ran into this issue as well. It seems like it fixes itself every day (when the quests reset maybe?) but then once I clear the daily quests it all goes *poof*. Kinda annoying.

    Yeah, generally in all things Arena "Listen to sinti" is the best advice I can give. The only thing I can add is to emphasize that the timing of the coin-counterpush is the most important thing in the Arena when on the coin. Push too early and the two two-drops get brushed aside without difficulty. Wait too long and your opponent can topdeck lethal even if it works. And always have your plays planned out for the coin turn and the turn after, because you will never topdeck your solution for the next turn.

    Made my first Draft deck this expat. Shaile, Dean of Radiance // Embrose, Dean of Shadow is really good, and it even has some other side, Embrose mumble, that I may use or not. The Learn/Lesson mechanic is strong (no surprise there), and Ward makes even weak-statted cards like Owlin Shieldmage hard to deal with. Lots of cards with only split Mana err... circles(?) means you can put some cards from different Colleges together without splashing. So while the flavor could be better it seems fun so far.

    (Edit:Trying to figure out this mtgcard thing)
