With no standard MCs for at least four or five months, the only announced streamed GP being Modern and it already being banned in the only announced Arena event I can see them just riding it out till rotation.

It will be legal until Core 2020 comes out right? The next MC is Modern so I guess it won’t matter as much, but still seems terrible and if the deck gets anything else in the next set, yikes. I’ve been playing a long time and people always complain about a card being too powerful and most of the time it’s not an issue. I think the much bigger problem is a card that creates a repeatedly unfun gameplay experience, and Nexus is somehow worse than Teferi Emblem decking and really shouldn’t exist in standard. E: the core sets used to be legal with each other for a brief window, that’s no longer the case right?

Whats the win ratio on Nexus decks at this tournament? Seems like a lot of people are filling diapers over a deck that isn't overperforming.

The deck is very strong, but if you read the comments about the card you’d know it isn’t because it is too good or powerful in terms of win rate. It promotes bad gameplay and has physical and digital issues.

TheKingofSprings posted:I don’t think draft would be a significant contributing factor unless all the Nexus players just happened to be above average drafters too. I mean, they will release the constructed records separately. It’s definitely happened that certain decks were over/under represented day 2 due to limited records. Day 2 conversion isn’t a worthless stat but actually seeing what decks went 6-2 or better is much more informative.

moush posted:It was undefeated day1 in standard not sure what more you need to know. Because it could be a massive outlier. Last PT Mono U had one undefeated deck day one I believe and the archetype had a below 50 percent win rate iirc. Mono White also had a huge number of players go 6-0 in limited and put more copies in to the top 8 than it should have, and was notably underrepresented in the top 32.

i mean if his phoenixes consistently end up in the bottom third of his deck it'll be hard for him to win, so reversing that logic makes his statement sorta check out

Ikawa is running 2 maindeck Cry of the Carnariums which is rough, but no maindeck Kaya and only one in the board plus no additional Crys makes me thing the Phoenix isn't particularly disadvantaged, and after board Luis can go in a lot of different directions.

https://magic.wizards.com/en/events/coverage/2019MC1/21-23-match-point-decklists-2019-02-24 It looks like Nexus was a very successful Standard deck. I'm not going to count while the games are going on, but it might be the top performing majorly represented archetype. Edit: oops, this is actually the top performing decks: https://magic.wizards.com/en/events/coverage/2019MC1/7-30-and-24-26-match-point-decklists-2019-02-24 Nexus only has 3, it was fine but not the best. Mono U was the best, which isn't shocking given how much of the field was Sultai and Nexus. Tom Clancy is Dead fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Feb 24, 2019 |
