![]() ![]() If you're an above average player, you need to wait until Round 3 and Round 4 of a Daily Event to consistently find opponents of equal skill. It's no fun stomping on new players or being stomped by Pro Tour caliber players. Due to the lack of match-making on Magic Online, you need to randomly stumble across someone of equal skill level. The other not-so-obvious time commitment is the amount of time it takes to find an opponent of equal skill. You should be able to play four matches in a row and just get awarded packs based on your record (hint hint: kind of like Hearthstone Arena). Why can't I just play my next match? Why do I need to allocate a 4-hour chunk to play Magic, and then only use 25% of it? This, by the way, is the reason why Magic Online is such a terrible game to stream on : You need to find something to do to entertain your viewers in all the downtime. If I play aggro, my match may be over in 20-minutes. But I need to wait another 40-minutes for some control players to duke it out. Why did we take the worst of paper Magic and bring it online? The problem with Daily Events is not only the 4-hour commitment, but the tremendous downtime between matches. What's worse, they're on a schedule so you can't even play when you have free time. If you want any semblance of competition and sane cost structure, Daily Events take 4-hour chunks. But what about Magic Online? Surely the internet has solved these problems. ![]() The logistics of running a large tournament mean we have to put up with that stuff. Who can make the least number of mistakes while playing exhausted and dehydrated? I would not play in a Grand Prix every week even if you gave me free flight and entry. It's like a game of Survivor where you play with Magic cards. I go to Grand Prixs to play high level competition I can't find anywhere else, but damn, is it ever a chore. Would you like to sit in a convention hall for 9-10 hours with poor ventilation? Would you like to attempt to stuff chunks of Subway in your mouth between your matches because there are no breaks? Sure, the first couple of hours of a GP are super exciting and fun, but when we're on hour seven of the tournament, it gets old quick. If FNM takes too long, I'm not sure what to say about a GP or a PTQ. Due to its length and the fact that store owners want to close at a reasonable time, it gets scheduled around 6:00pm which means you need to race home from work and through traffic to make it to FNM. FNM takes about 4-hours in a single sitting. Time commitment to is the biggest barrier to the game of Magic, and Hearthstone has shown us a better way. So why has this unquestionably simpler game been dominating my time? Today I want to talk about the problem with Magic and Magic Online that's been swept under the rug: time. ![]() I've been playing Magic since 1996 or so.
