Just made an account and used the last of my new player tickets. Anyone got tips or anything?

Play Pauper or Block. They are the cheapest formats and if you're good at them then you can enter dailies and other tournaments and win more tickets.

I've just been drafting, actually. Hoping to get money cards in them to pay for the next draft. First time I got {Sphinx's Revelation}, then I got I pair of shock lands. But they're apparently worth a lot less here. :(

Hey, uh, when the prices in the Trade section say things like "Buying Blood Crypt 3.6", what does the .6 mean?

Nevermind, someone explained it to me. I'm Raenil on there, by the way.

When are you on? I can show you the ropes. I'm on often.

I'm Heavenfall on there.

Am I able to trade in my paper playset for a digital set? Mtgo would be better for me due to the daily tournaments. Also what are the prizes like? Packs for everybody or just those play tokens?

1. No, you aren't. You can redeem a full set of digital products for a full set of paper, though.
2. Packs and tickets. NEVER OPEN PACKS in MTGO except when drafting.

I won two packs in a draft and couldn't resist opening one. Got Jaaaace. There's my next Sealed event right there

Nice! That's awesome.

Proph helped me with a draft but I messed it up, then my client crashed so I raged. Ah well. Maybe next time.

Use version 3? It crashes less often and the interface is more fast.

Feels like I can never open a decent rare in draft. {Rest in Peace}, {Search the City}, {Palisade Giant}...

I have an account, but a very small collection of cards. Lately, if I'm playing MtG on the PC, I'll go with DotP instead. I'd rather play AI opponents rather than real people on MTGO. I'd either get my 🐴 handed to me, or generally annoy people while I try to learn the controls. 😓
Lastly, I'm already spending more 💰 than I should on paper magic. 😁

Totally- DotP is awesome if you don't want to be frustrated with losing constantly. Glad to hear someone more experienced (like Jester) shares my feelings on this.

If they had a true "Just for Fun" room on mtgo it would be more fun to play - as it is, a lot of the decks that really should be in "Tournament Practice" predominantly end up in the other rooms (even the one for beginners). I guess WOTC doesn't have a way of regulating this...

Good point about Packs! I've made the mistake of opening them...

Maximo

Nothing breaks my heart like opening a sealed pool and seeing {Search the City }.

Yeah, never open packs. Also never enter drafts with tickets only. You can buy packs from bots way cheapers than the actual retail price. At the moment only AVR is about the same price regardless buyin from bot or from wizards store.

Offload your excess commons and uncommons to bots. Good rares and mythics are (especially foils) should be sold separate to actual people. You'll get better price.

I'm Locrian666 on MTGO also. Feel free to ask stuff online.

Marcusdigio

Can someone help me on there? I usually play late at night but sometimes daytime also. I've been playing standard for beginners. What is pauper? I've been opening up my boosters. Why shouldn't I be?
I got a Sorin and foil Gisela in packs. Ill be on in an hour and my name is Marcusdigio add me!!!!
