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!!!!

Pauper is format where you use decks using only common cards. Cheap format that has events going on in MTGO so it's cheapest way to start earning packs/tickets, if you win that is.

Prices of cards in digital realm are way lower than in paper (generally). So expected value of opening booster is way lower. Usually only proper place to open booster is draft or limited tournament/queue where you can actually gain more value by winning more packs with those very same cards. Note that format staples are still expensive in MTGO too.

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

I have to agree with this actually. I've opened my share of packs I bought. And I have opened some in draft also. It seems like I get much better cards openin up packs. Draft always sucks. Boosters I opened hava gotten me a foil Gisela. Huntmaster of the fells. Sorin lord of innistrad. Obzedat ghost council. And more. Best I have in draft is watery grave. Makes me wonder.

Very hard to go infinite there are cheap formats such as momir pauper and draft where the start up minimum. If you win 3-1 you get packs then you can sell them for packs and build up tickets then buy decks for different formats like modern then standard. It's like crack. For me momir is to random so it's the luck of the draw then pauper is so competitive I got an infect deck so it was not consistent think I might restart with a tron deck. If you want to try this just research and get a constant deck then you would never have to pay to play again.

Hit me up for some Planeswalker. User name is Dudecore.

I've been playing a bit more online because of playgroup inconsistency. I just don't wanna have to buy my cards all over.

Planeswalker format is pretty bad, you don't get swingy turns or a chance to stabilize. Seems like games are over at 10 life. 2 out of 3 decks are Green/Blue/White ramp decks, the other decks are red.

Either way. If I'm on, get to me.

Does it just about piss anyone else off when there opponent quits the game when things are not going their way? It's not the whole I wanna win thing, it's that I wanna learn, I never quit games, if I'm losing, there is still SO much I can learn. Ok, I'm done, sand is hosed out.

I saw a rumor that DotP could potentially be used in the future to replace MtGO for everyone but the super competitive. Thoughts?

Nah. They couldn't charge enough for it. Magic Online has drafts, tournament, different formats. DotP has pre-cons that gets new players into the game. Even if they opened up and let you build your own decks (which you can do online for $5.99, play the "Planeswalker" format) it still wouldn't have every single card ever to make it worthwhile.

If they wanted to make a console client that was cross platform with Magic Online - that'd be wonderful. As it stands, Wizards makes too much off the online game to bother changing.
