Release day draft went well. Was in UW Tokens, the bulk of the creatures in my deck had embalm, had the guy that gave Tokens flying and vigilance, two of the white trial, two white cartouche, the embalm clone, also had some control elements in my top end, exile top card of your library brick artifact, dusk / dawn, approach of the second sun. I won two games via Approach and it was glorious. Having multiple trials out then casting a cartouche to return them then recasting the trials feels busted.

Sickening posted:Dumb predictions for tomorrow. At least I opened a Hazoret in draft today. Other than that, I had to tell an opponent to wash his loving hands because he's starting to come down with a cold and he coughed right into his bare hands. I didn't let him cut my deck anymore after that. Star Man fucked around with this message at 06:41 on Apr 29, 2017 |

Pontius Pilate posted:What fast combo are you losing to? Belcher, Elves, faster builds of storm like TES. Even ANT is a pretty bad matchup on the draw. I've played a surprising amount of UB Reanimator for some reason which is at least one good matchup. I didn't realize Gush/Mentor would completely take over the format to the point where the only way to sometimes beat it was Shops. gwrtheyrn posted:The type that go off turn 1-2, you know before almost any of your hate is playable?

Went to my first competitive play since 1995, Amonkhet sealed Ended up making a Cards I Opened With Flying tribal deck and went 2-1. Flying and 4 toughness appears to be where you want to be. That white 2/2 flyer that you exert to pump your team is awesome too.

A store in my area is doing some shady stuff. They no longer give out any of the Wizards supplied prizing / perks - FNM promos, release day promos, game day promos, playmats, full art lands - instead they are just selling these items as they're received. They also ran a league with promised prize support and pulled prizing shortly before the end of the league. The owners live elsewhere and work out of a different store (they have a number of locations). The employees that work at the store (that don't play magic) aren't doing this on their own and are being told by the owners from afar what to do. The entire group of players have decided to go elsewhere but a number of them are pretty pissed off and want to contact Wizards to let them know the BS that's going on - anyone have any idea how to go about reporting them?

Hellsau posted:A few things about this draft deck - Oh, it's not good by itself, no, but it's pretty useful with my many counter-placing guys. I'm able to keep them big while also being able to use its ability or chump if necessary. If I didn't have those guys I'd take it out. quote:2) Irrigated Farmland is better than an Island. Noted! quote:3) River Serpent seems better than Colossapede. The versatility of being able to cycle it for one mana is worth the extra mana on the actual cost. I was considering this. Wasn't sure about it. quote:4) Aven Initiate is very good if you can afford another four drop. It's a 3 power flier for 4 that embalms, that's a good deal. I know it's good, but I need to assess the slot to see if there's space.

You should have played Aven Initiate, Essence Scatter, or River Serpent before you put this in your deck. A 0/3 with a bad ramp ability is not what you want, ever. I haven't played the format in draft but I just cannot imagine a world where the Cultivator is playable.

I'm amazed he didn't think to leave back a blocker when your opponent has a manland in play and you have all the control you need in your hand. Slow. down. buddy.

So when do we do Marvel Sun, in which we play and cast approach of the Second Sun off Marvel in some kind of weird control shell? Or are we doing that on stream right now? Count Bleck fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Apr 29, 2017 |

A problem there is, you need to cast the second Approach from your hand to win. So you need seven mana, six energy and one Approach in hand before you can start rolling the Marvel to see if you win. I'd rather use Inspiring Statuary to give it Improvise and try splashing some white into the Paradoxical Outcomes they showed a minute ago.

Instead of rolling the Marvel hoping to hit Approach, you could just cast the Approach you already have to put it seventh in your library, use Marvel to get rid of the top six cards of your library, then draw and cast Approach the following turn.

An other issue I am noticing about Cast Out and Censor is that they do not work well with Torrential Gearhulk. I think these new tools are good, but need to be trimmed down for the more favorable gearhulk targets.

Alternately: - Cast Approach from hand, putting it seventh from the top - Before your next draw, activate Marvel to put the top six cards on bottom - Profit
