Is it worth buying into u/w approach using the challenger deck as a springboard? Ive been out of standard for a bit and the deck concept always fascinated me but id rather not buy into something that gets easily blown out by the current meta when i could easily spent my money on a better positioned budget deck.

The store I go to has Legacy FNM (along with Modern and Draft). Legacy usually fires with ~8 players, draft usually has one or two pods although it's the most inconsistent, modern is like ~20. So I get to watch the crazies play their $4k decks next to me while fidget-shuffling my $1k modern deck. But yeah, I can imagine it might be hard to find Legacy events.

I would not buy into a deck when Dominaria is coming out in a month. That said, Approach will likely still be a good deck.

This talk of the reserve list got me thinking about when I sold 99% of my collection in 1998 or 1999. I just read that the Reserved List actually came in March 1996. That would have been spring semester of my freshmen year at college, guess that explains why I apparently didn't notice them announcing it. The irony is I grew up hearing horror stories of kids going off to college and their parents throwing out Mickey Mantle rookie cards. Of course, I still have every sports card I ever bought. I guess I just really didn't think MTG was going to make it after Chronicles, not as a collector's item anyways. So yeah, that's why I sold 2 binders full of Revised/Legends/Dark/Fallen Empire and Ice Age uncommons and rares for $200. I can't be too bummed though, because I did have a lot of duals in main deck and for whatever reason i kept that German FBB starter deck.

On Saturday's when I'm just on call I like to hang out at my LGS and watch Legacy and Modern games. One dude last week kept switching up between dredge, d&t, and grixis delver to give his OP practice reps. Yay for college towns/go team alphastrike! Modern fires with 8-16 and standard has fired off with 8 maybe a handful of times in the last 6 months unless you count SCG IQs

If it makes you feel any better, if you'd put those $200 bucks in Apple Stock, you'd have about $44,500 today. Then you could have bought back all the cards and then some.

Toshimo posted:FYI: It doesn't matter how much internet forum schlubs raged at them for IMA/A25. The only thing that matters is if it sold well. So, tune in to the quarterly investors' report if you want to know how the next Master set is going to be. I'd be very surprised if IMA sold particularly well. In my area you could get packs at like 70% retail from LGS less than a month after release. I've seen packs of it recently for about 80%. Meanwhile, Eternal Masters and MM15 never fell below retail and were often above retail despite being somewhat lackluster value wise.

I'll have to do some reading. Right now I don't understand how they could lose to anything other than an even better control deck.

Going even bigger and slower is one way to beat control. The other is to tighten your own curve to get under their guns and win before they can stabilize.

You can beat a control deck by out-tempoing them. If you spend less mana on your threats than they spend on their answers, you can sneak in a win before they stabilize.

It's also possible to outgrind control with midrange by basically presenting so many problem permanents that they can't deal with all of them. The classic is to go under them, though.

Basically the way to beat control decks in modern day Magic is to play aggro, tempo or control. Or midrange. Prison also works in older formats. So does combo. Pretty much everything beats control decks is what I'm saying.

triple sulk posted:Post about Arena's land algorithm that suggests you should only be running exactly 22 or 26: I have some issue with this conclusion for now, unless there's some dev information I've missed. Compare: https://mtgarena.community.gl/forums/threads/11044 posted:In an effort to alleviate mana screw/flood, MTG Arena's shuffler generates two random starting hands and gives you the one with the land:spell ratio closest to your deck’s. senior dev here https://mtgarena.community.gl/forums/threads/347 posted:The system draws an opening hand from each of two separately randomized copies of the decks, and leans towards giving the player the hand with the mix of spells and lands (without regard for color) closest to average for that deck. That "leans towards" is a big, big thing the post does not consider, and while I'd like to see the effect of the Arena opening hand system, not knowing what it means (55%? 60%? 70%?) it's not very doable. Had I any skill with R, Matlab or such I'd probably try thowing 10000 hand simulation or something at the question with different land counts and "leans" percentages, but as I don't...

And by go under he means being able to drop enough cheap threats before they can counter them all that you can quickly get the win. Burn, for instance, can usually go under any control deck

And if they have board wipes, don't empty your whole hand and watch a Wrath of God annihilate all of your creatures and then let your opponent use point removal on whatever you topdeck because you can only play one creature at a time.

Midrange is not a valid answer to control in Arena. Its a totally different meta. You don't have more threats than they have answers because they have 4x Essence Scatter 4x Cancel and some combination of Vraska's Contempt and Walk the Plank and Doomfall. Throw in Golden Demises and then 20 turns in they actually have a finisher you have to deal with. For midrange to work, all of your creatures have to be rare or mythic and nobody has the wild cards for that yet.
