Do you have any suggestions for a Blue/Green Budget friend standard deck? I mainly use these upgraded decks to go through my dailies and I'd like a Blue Green option. Thanks :)

I played it in starter deck duels and it was lol worthy how broken it is but also a lot of durdling

[ReubenAotearoa]

The only Alchemy card is Marwyn’s Kindred, right? Considering building some of these decks up in paper and replacing that with the actual Marwyn card from Dominaria - easy change there. Is there not another way to play with the LoTR cards on Arena other than in Alchemy?

Also commander upgrade guides are a dime a dozen, too, so definitely makes more sense to leave them alone. Even if you did play the format. Niche is well and truely full.

I thought it was me not getting it, but it's nice to be comforted by how horrific this basic deck is.

It doesn't help that the deck is terrifically bad compared to any of the other starter decks in SDD, terrible removal, clunky overpriced creatures, no protection for the over priced creatures so they're dead before you can use their abilities

As a new player, Im done with alchemy, I feel so lost with every spell having 2 paragrphs description, the lord of the rings clutter and the annoying power creep when my oponents somehow have two 10/11 creatures by third turn

Man the fake cards really ruined Arena.

[Six_Gorillion]

Tried most of the starters. Liked none of them. The way they force you to play is not fun at all. Literally built on all of my most disliked mechanics right now there. What a trash set. Don't even get me started on the alchemy bs in there.

This is by far the weakest starter deck ever in the list it is a total garbage cause of huge mana cost of spells it always gets left beind unless you have a "perfect draw" but still 50% chance
