I feel the same way, but still hoping it improves. I did play the original MTG client in 2004-2007, and it was very well done, but they butchered the UI when they updated it to 3.0. Shame, ruined the hobby for me. I only place a couple times a year now. I used to play daily and still would if they kept the UI the same as original client 2.0.

You and me both, to both

I remember running into a bug partway thru the game, and quitting for good, tho. I managed to get a Spirit Link on a buffed Serra, and was pounding away a vastly more powerful miniboss, and the game crashed: too many cards in play. I was furious, and never picked it back up heheh

LOL. Too many cards in play. In a card game that is all about flexibility

That's like playing a soccer game without goal posts

To be fair, coding for a game like MTG has to be a nightmare, some of the decks I have played in last 18 years were extremely complex tactics and special abilities. 2.0 original client in 2004-2006 nailed it though, I had 0 issues, I'll never understand why companies decide to break what isn't broken. oh well.

Agreed, I did a few local tournaments back in the day and some decks blew my mind I vividly remember waves of a few hundred saprolings coming my way, and other fun stuff such as a dude that just started dropping artifacts in turn one and basically burned a quarter of his deck by turn two.

I remember one card that would let me change the ability of an instant or sorcery spell, so if it said destroy black permanent, i could change it to any color I wanted, or damage x targets i could change to how many x I wanted, I imagine a card like that would be hard to code for especially since it was an instant to be used on the opposite players main turn... I have had over 400 decks in my 18 years... one of my favorites was a an all black deck that used Mirari artifact, cabal coffers, corrupt, etc. another deck, green and white i still have, using miraris wake and exalted angel... there was one deck I made around Biorythmn card, that was a lot of fun. I had an unstoppable bird soldier deck and squirrel deck at one point, a fun all white soldier deck with a few rare Lions...

good times... unfortunately none of my decklists were saved from 2004-2007 when I mainly played the game. so i just have faint memories now sadly. I had a tournament winning firecat blitz deck and UG madness deck too.

Cool Not sure we've played in the same time, I think I dropped out around 2002-2003

Gotta say I'm really digging this MtG Arena so far. Its smooth, fast enough and I've already put a pretty sweet White/Blue/Green Artifact deck together... it has so many triggered stuff, its crazy, after turn 5-6 many players start wondering why they still keep playing. I just spawn Servo and Thopter tokens and line those with +1/+1 tokens... and every time something spawns I can pay some extra mana to add MORE tokens, and get free life. Its a bit like the good ol' Saprolings Its a shame so many players play on the early rush though, at least that seems to be a pattern.

But dayum there are many new rules too.. been out of this game for so long
