the game is at this moment not in balance.
I wanted to make a Wurm-deck, but it seems is not possible. And i am a good deckbuilder.
But nowadays most games are finished before turn 4, sometimes turn 3. Combodecks win before that. And even if you have a very fast deck, its the one who starts, who wins, because the other deck is just as fast (one drops that grow very fast).
the removal spells cost too much.
also there is only 2 spells that can mass-remove enchantments and artifacts. Because of that, enchantment and artifact decks are dominating.
My question is: why are cards like the nice wurms printed, if wizzard wants us to finish the game as fast possible to play many fast and rough games. there is not much fun in that.
I have many games in which the opponent quits when he cannot start. So before the game actually starts. Thats the format that is created on magic arena right now.

I have a problem with Spelltable.
I got a brand new webcam today (Logitech C270) and it keeps turning itself off after being about 30-60 minutes in a lobby.
I then tried the webcam with the Discord Desktop App and it worked fine there.
After that I tested the webcam with the Discord Web App, to maybe figure out if webapplications in general have a problem with this webcam, but it worked there fine too.
I tried SpellTable with this camera in Firefox and in Chrome, both having the same result.
I havent tried it in an actual lobby with other players, because I obviously didnt want to have my screen go black in the middle of the game, so I tested stuff out in a lobby by myself, so no turns were active, it was just my playmat and some cards.
Is this some sort of "hindering people from afk-ing in a lobby"-system or is there something wrong?

I am a PC player. I just finished a game that Jadar, Ghoulcaller of Nephalia was not triggering at the end step to create a 2/2 decayed zombie. There were no other decayed zombies in play. My opponent was not playing any cards that prevented the effect from working. He was playing werewolves.

I had multiple Jadars in my hand so I cast a 2nd one and let the first go to the graveyard. I made no difference, the 2nd Jadar also did not create a decayed zombie.

As Jadar is critical to making my deck function, I lost quickly despite having a good opening hand.

Our weekly playgroup has noticed a few different visual issues cropping up with our webcams that were not present before. For me, my webcam (Logitech C920) was working perfectly for weeks. Then it began to have an artifact where the screen would glitch and tear. Nothing changed as far as my webcams setup or drivers. I cleared out all Chrome cache files etc and the problem persists. However, if I feed my camera through Nvidia Broadcast, there are no issues.

For another two players, they are seeing that, as the game progresses and more cards are added to there board, the image becomes more and more pixelated. They have tried clearing their caches etc as well, but, it appears that once the bug presents itself, it stays forever. They will be attempting the OBS/Nvidia Broadcast fix this week. One of the players is also using a C920.

What system is Spelltable using for video? Is there anything beyond Chrome's caches that we can clear out to see if it remedies the problem? Do cookies play any part in the video connection. I.e. If we decline to accept cookies, is that an issue? Thanks!

Could we add a way to add text boxes on screen so that we could write notes over cards or tokens, such as card names that are hard to see on an opponents screen or to keep track of cards that you've taken control of from their field, etc? I think at the most barebones version just a text box with adjustable field size would be efficient, where having the ability to lookup a card or link a card from the card history tray would allow us to hover over the box to see the full image of a card rather than having a long list in the card history tray and trying to keep track manually of each field. Even with a clear camera it can be difficult to keep track of the cards on the field when you still need to go back and forth from card history and the field to have a full scope of their plays.

Hey there! Currently the age of 33 out of Rumford, RI. I've noticed a serious lacking of live moderation and would be super interested. I've been playing magic for roughly twenty plus years and really do just play for the love of the game. I've previously admined/modded for a DOOM game group as well as other mIRCS. I would also be willing to do this for free just to be able to help out the community and elevate the spell table experience.

Anyways, heres some feedback/ideas in list form:

1.) Option on main page to display only open/only full rooms
1a.) Option to display more rooms on main page

2.) Addition of a live text box within the game itself to make it easier for foreign players to spell out cards

3.) Ability to change room titles mid-game incase players change up decks.

4.) Auto-join feature (pairs random players together in rooms depending on language selection/format)

5.) Introduction of a 5/6th spot camera for LORGE games (hey emperor is still cool)
