I just searched by opponent and found all the guys I know who have been to Pro Tours. My LGS community is small enough that I know their names.

Oh, I missed that that was an option on the e-peen site, I thought it was a wizards thing. I crushed this fucker a lot look at this: <BYE>: Overall record: 23-0-0 Total number of matches: 23 Win percentage ignoring draws: 100.000000 Win percentage including draws: 100.000000 Also my highest win % by format is Sealed, which does not seem right at all. I guess because most of the sealeds I've done have been pre-releases and they're easy, cuz every Sealed major tournament I've gone to has sucked tremendously.

You can find pretty much consensus best players ever like Kai Budde and Jon Finkel around there. Naturally, I'd guess their percentage was a bit higher than that when they were in their prime.

I won a draft today! Well, tied my first game and then won both second games so I narrowly got first. Went G/W with just a ton of two mana creatures. Collected Company, Myth Realized, 2 Pacifism, and 2 Epic Confrontation were pretty helpful as well. Only tied the first game because the other guy had Descent of Dragons at the perfect time and I had surprisingly little ability to deal with flying. I want to tweak my RDW into that Gruul Deck Wins I keep seeing and almost have the manabase to do it. I actually need to find one more Mana Confluence but managed to trade for the other stuff so that's nice. I see people running 19 lands? 4 Mana Confluence, 4 Wooded Foothills, 10 mountains, and 1 Forest. The fetch lands with their thinning let you do that? Here's the list. After comparing it with some to those winning on MTGTop8 and whatnot I cut the 3 Heelcutters and a mountain for the Commands. That the right choice? I do like the Heelcutters but they did get cut to the sideboard fairly often without ever being drawn anyway. Super useful though. Spells 4 Hordeling Outburst 4 Lightning Strike 4 Stoke the Flames 4 Wild Slash 4 Dragon Fodder 4 Atarka's Command Creatures 4 Monastery Swiftspear 4 Foundry Street Denizen 4 Lightning Berserker 2 Goblin Rabblemaster 3 Zurgo Bellstriker Sideboard: 2 Destructive Revelry 4 Roast 2 Outpost Siege 2 Hall of Triumph 2 Twin Bolt 3 Eidolon of the Great Revel

Rinkles posted:I've been curious how much of his extraordinary success was due to the smaller player base of the time, the less efficient creatures (less variance?), less organized professional teams, etc., versus his actual, unquestionable, ability. Kai and his german group figured out proper format testing before everyone. He's a great player, and part of that was the preparation he put in.

Or as one of the pro writers mentioned in one of their articles, drafting in preparation before the PT with, say, 8 guys from the Channel Fireball team, a good win rate over several drafts is really hard to get (versus your local store draft with various people).

So, I am pretty terrible (and new!) at magic. Overall record: 73-51-5 Win percentage ignoring draws: 58.870968 Win percentage including draws: 56.589147 EDIT: It seems I do alright in standard/draft, then terrible in sealed. 24 wins, 27 losses in it.  This stat thing is pretty cool. Thanks for linking it!

Apparently I'm much better at magic now than I used to be. Overall record: 240-125-18 Win percentage ignoring draws: 65.753425 Win percentage including draws: 62.663185 Now if I trim out all the time I was bad from the Invasion era: Overall record: 211-83-17 Win percentage ignoring draws: 71.768707 Win percentage including draws: 67.845659 Apparently my local store is really soft in limited formats. Against the two local PT players I am 3-12-4 combined. E: For the sake of completeness, here are my stats from only the bad era: Overall record: 29-42-1 Win percentage ignoring draws: 40.845070 Win percentage including draws: 40.277778 Olothreutes fucked around with this message at 11:16 on Apr 9, 2015 |

I haven't been to a live prerelease in a couple years but everyone around here loved the big prereleases so much that when they changed to having stores run them a couple stores got together and starred renting out a hall, so there were usually like 60-100 people playing.

Count Bleck posted:You use matchup slips at prerelease?! I doubt this is unusual - it eases the logistics quite a bit. Dropping a slip in a empty boosterbox > "Hi judge-scorekeeper, I won 2-0 on table 51" "And you are?" "I'm .." It also makes error-handling much easier if the judge have fat fingers when typing in the results.

I hate it when players at our 12 man FNMs run into the sales floor, yell "2-0!" and then vanish while I'm ringing up a customer or eating my dinner. gently caress doing that at our 60+ person prereleases.

Our store owners are very aggressive about getting people to write their match results on the paper, which is just the sheet of match slips not cut up, left on the counter at the front.

My store owner lets us input the results into the computer ourselves when it is usual FNMs, because the most we ever get is 8 people for drafts and 4-8 for Standard. GPTs, Prereleases and Game Days which have more people and that isn't allowed.

I pretty much run FNMs and Pre-Releases exactly like any other Comp REL tournament as far as logistics and structure are concerned. Players meeting, match slips, table numbers, pairings board, round timer, the whole shebang. It makes life so much easier. I've done it the wild and loose way and that's way more work. gently caress trying to herd neckbeards to their matches or trying to enter results that are being screamed at you across the room, or trying to un-gently caress a draft that got messed up when some moron passed a stack of his drafted cards instead of a pack and no one noticed for 4 picks.

Yeah, I don't understand how you could possibly run a prerelease or FNM of any scale without match slips, a round timer, or table numbers. It's still amazingly useful for small tournaments, though. The only difference between large nights and small nights for us is that at small (<20 people, say) nights people don't really need to stick to assigned seating.

My LGS was terrible about drafts getting hosed up with some people getting shorted cards and people training packs out the rear end that ended up getting passed out of sequence. The judge was doing basically zero supervision of the draft so some people were doing MODO sorting of their cards while they drafted or opening Khans first and nobody noticing until the pack almost wheels. Now that I have my L1 I've instituted zone drafting and actually watch what everyone's doing so I catch people who pull out the Fate duals with the token before the pack makes it halfway around the table. I've even printed up sheets of shame that have Magic card sized boxes that say "drafted" and "passing" for players who can't get out of the habit of training packs. All of a sudden the drafts are running much more smoothly

Kudos for stepping in and making things better.
