Isn't Metagamer just a subgroup of spike? --Garash2k (talk) 17:01, 4 June 2021 (UTC)
MTG Arena player profiles[]
The Brothers' War State of the Game article for Magic: The Gathering Arena introduces four player profiles for Arena players. I'm not sure if this is something that should be noted here on Player type or if it needs its own page. The profiles are just kind of dumped within the article with no context. I'm not sure if these are even noteworthy in the first place.
Betty the Brewer[]
Betty wants a large collection so she can build and play a variety of decks. She loves exploring all the new deck possibilities when a set is released. To experiment, however, she needs to add cards to her collection. She knows drafting is an efficient way to add cards, so she postpones her deck building for a couple weeks until she's drafted the cards she wants to build out her collection.
Max the Metagamer[]
Max finds decks online that have done well and wants to play them. Often, they're missing just a handful of cards to complete a deck. Max is less focused on building their overall collection and doesn't want to spend time opening packs to get the wildcards they need—they just want their cards quickly so they can start playing their deck.
Victor the Veteran[]
Victor is a longtime Magic player who is nostalgic for older Magic cards. He values MTG Arena play that matches tabletop, and he frequently plays Explorer. He wants more older cards to come to MTG Arena so the game can get closer to having the Pioneer format.
Nancy the Novelty Seeker[]
Nancy plays a lot of MTG Arena, but things can feel stale for her quickly. She wants a lot of changes to keep the game feeling fresh and exciting. She plays Alchemy and some Historic, and she enjoys how digital-only cards and rebalances open up new Magic design space.

- They've done this before in regards to competing with the qualifier points. They're basically marketing-demographic representatives, and aren't really all that definitive. The player types as popularised by MaRo is a game design thing that probably has a marketing aspect, but crucially are wide enough motivations to encompass most if not all players, unlike the above. Categorically they've used a Jenny for Betty, a Spike for Max, a Tammy for Nancy and a mix of Spike and Timmy for Victor. 114.76.200.191 10:31, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not sure they qualify for their own sections, but I think these could still be included in the sections of the main psychographics. RudleyDudley (talk) 20:53, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
- I don't think so. They will not stick. --Hunterofsalvation (talk) 04:22, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
