After a restart I’d been kicked out without registering a win or loss and I didn’t get credit for a game win I’d gotten during the match either. I sent in a ticket and they refunded me the 1500 gems.

Does this have competitive legs? Deck 3 Dance of the Manse (ELD) 186 6 Swamp (THB) 283 1 Island (THB) 281 4 Doom Foretold (ELD) 187 5 Plains (THB) 279 4 Oath of Kaya (WAR) 209 4 Omen of the Sea (THB) 58 4 Alseid of Life's Bounty (THB) 1 3 Lampad of Death's Vigil (THB) 103 4 Banishing Light (THB) 4 4 Shimmerwing Chimera (THB) 64 3 The Birth of Meletis (THB) 5 1 Castle Vantress (ELD) 242 1 Castle Ardenvale (ELD) 238 1 Castle Locthwain (ELD) 241 1 Godless Shrine (RNA) 248 4 Temple of Enlightenment (THB) 246 1 Watery Grave (GRN) 259 1 Hallowed Fountain (RNA) 251 2 Archon of Sun's Grace (THB) 3 3 Shatter the Sky (THB) 37 I know the mana base isn't excellent and I should probably buy the UB lands, but other than that - I like Esper Dance but I've never been desperately satisfied with the low end for it, and particularly how a bad draw just gets it rolled over by small creatures, so the solution of 'add enchantment creatures' seems like a good idea, and the top end having Archon of Sun's Grace also seems like a good alternate win condition/delay condition. Also, how to sideboard, if so? What think, thread?

There are some weird interactions with Clover that I didn't really consider until I played the deck. Like if you cast Petty Theft with a clover and only one possible target you end up losing your Brazen Borrower. And if you have two clovers in play you can actually kill eg Grim Initiate and the token it spawns after playing Stomp once due to how the triggered ability works.

This was always a fun thing to fiddle with in Golgari because there were some times you actively wanted to fizzle a spell so you could load it into your graveyard for later retreival rather than losing it to the board or the bottom of your deck. It's less useful in Temur though, for sure.

In the history of Magic, any deck whose plan is to clog the board with small creatures and THEN cast a board wipe have realistically never been good. Between thought erasure for Anax or Heliod, 4 Oath of Kaya, 4 Teferi, 4 Birth of Meletis, Shatter the Sky, you should t be having any trouble with aggro decks at all. Dance of the Manse is weak to other stronger control decks, it should be moonwalking over little creature decks. -

I've been playing clover for a couple weeks now. UW is always a fun and challenging matchup. Between Shadowspear, Spyglass, and people who forget Borrower has flash and can block fliers, you have lots of unexpected ways to screw with Dream Trawler.

It's not a great matchup because the threats are more consistent with your ways of dealing with them, but multiple clovers (for multiple bounces, stomps, sideboard cards) give you enough value to be able to stall a lot of the time. Fling is v good at going over the top too.

Also it's so weird launching a new line of events with something so bland. I was looking forward to something silly to play but putting this up against Artisan is just baffling. I mean Artisan is actually a pretty terrible format but it's not competitive so you can just fool around and brew nonsense. This is... 1 v 1 brawl with one of the decks being very, very unexciting.

I definitely got 1000, and I'd already done my quest for the day. Maybe it came from somewhere else though. I don't mind having more brawl available, even with precons, but I've spent most of the afternoon messing around with Selesnya Auras on the play queue, which is hella fun, but I can't work out if it's actually good. I'm slightly obsessed with finding a good Constellation list at the moment.

OK how does this look? 2 Castle Embereth 18 Mountain 4 Embercleave 4 Robber 4 Anax 4 Scorch Spitter 4 Cavalcade 4 Bonecrusher 4 Light up the Stage 4 Tin Street Dodger 4 Torbran 4 Chandra's Spitfire My gut instinct is not enough removal but IDK what to take out for Shocks. I'm also not maximizing Cavalcade but that may not matter? Is that a good amount of land? Is Runaway Steamkin absolutely necessary? How good is it really? Fellow Cleave players please help!

A lot of the current RDW variants have no real removal besides Bonecrusher. You just run over the opponent and curve out without needing it.

I genuinely think the deck is better without Cavalcade. Cut the Tin Street Dodger’s for Fervent Champs and the Cavalcades into Steamkin. The reason I don’t like Cavalcade is because against any deck that wants to wipe your bird, that Turn 2 could represent far, far more damage if it were a creature than if it were an enchantment.

Is Spitfire good without Cavalcade though? I don't play a lot of mono-red but I'd have thought that if you cut Cavalcade you'd take Spitfire out too. The only other triggers I see in that list are Stomp and Scorch Spitter which doesn't seem like enough to make it worthwhile

I personally like having shocks in the list because people don't expect it and you can pick off some early drops or dome them to get over the top in a pinch but you could easily cut them and round out whatever else. 21-22 lands feels optimal - nothing worse than having a Torb or an Embercleave in hand that would get you through for lethal and whiffing on a land drop. YMMV. However if you don't have the wildcards for whatever you're missing then the cavalcade build is still very good and will get you lots of wins.

Turpitude posted:I dunno if it's good but the one with green setessan card draw dude and paradise druids that are enchanted a zillion times is really fun. It's usually selesnya but I think bant could be good too Yeah this is the core of it. Bugsy posted:Tuned for the mono red matchup in best of one but has a sideboard. I think maybe Aegis was the thing I was missing, in addition to enough Setessan Champions. The lion is an excellent direction setter and a 3/3 for 2 is never bad, but it's not actually all that useful in context, so that's probably what I drop. I also don't feel like Sentinel's Eyes is something you want much more than two of, because unlike most things you want lots of, it's recurrable. The Giant Hexproof Trampler was the inspiration for trying to make this work, but I really want to try to see if I can find some way to add blue to it given that Shimmerwing Chimera, Staggering Insight amd so forth are so good. E: on monored I still have way better luck with Cavalcade and Spitfire than with Steamkin in Bo1. Steamkin goes off like crazy when it goes off at all, but is limp as poo poo when they have removal, whereas enchantment removal is relatively rarer, and cavalcade continues to be good even if all it's doing is doubling the power of whatever little weenie you slapped down this turn, or making Anax's leavings better. And it's not just Spitfire that makes it go off either, Torbran also combos with it very effectively. Bo3 is a different ballgame though, given that it's much more easily sideboarded against than Steamkin. So it really depends what game you want to play. thespaceinvader fucked around with this message at 00:46 on Feb 25, 2020 |

I really like the idea of Steamkin just for the potential extra mana to flood the board. I just don't want to spend the wildcards to get 4 :/ I might put something else in their slot and see how it works. My Heliod aggro deck took a week or two before I got it how I want it and this shouldn't be much different. Mat Cauthon posted:My list is Thanks for the different take.

Steamkin is mainly good because it's a 4/4 for 2, the extra mana (that you mostly just use on spells that crank it back up to 4) is gravy.

Steamkin is a bit of a nonbo with cavalcade so don't bother with it for that list, and the non-cavalcade decks are stronger anyway. Just pick one of the many RDW from Worlds and put one together.

This is the bo3 rdw I use 4 castle embereth 16 mountain 4 scorch spitter 4 fervent champions 2 Boulder rush/rimrock knight 4 shock 2 stomp/bonecrusher giant 4 steamkin 4 robber of the rich 4 light up the stage 4 anax 4 embercleave 4 torbran For the sideboard you will want: m20 rare Chandra for when you're on the play against something you need to go wide against Experimental frenzy for when you need to play the control deck or on the draw Unchained beserker for any matchups with white Lava coil so you can kill bigger stuff or exile if you're in a creature heavy match. Swap this for shocks. I carry 4 of all of them except the rare m20 Chandra which I only carry 3 of. I usually will board out rimrock unless I'm on the play and need to go very fast. I swap shock for some number of lava coil usually, or if I'm in a control matchup with white I usually dump em for the beserker. Experimental frenzy is for when you're in a match and know you'll be the less aggro deck. I usually dump my rimrock knight or bonecrusher giant in that case. do not for any reason sideboard out your torbrans or embercleave unless you're positive. these are your combo pieces and you want as many chances to draw them as possible. Only scenario where I'd advise it is if you're up against a rogue Simic flash deck and want to play around a counter. Anyway, hope that helps folks make a nice bo3 RDW. I've gotten into platinum twice now with it, lemme know how it goes. Edit: I also made a bo1 version of this that cuts 2 mountains for 2 infuriate. It relies on the hand smoothing algorithm to work, don't ever try the bo1 version in bo3! axeil fucked around with this message at 08:35 on Feb 25, 2020 |

Theros is one of the best draft formats in a long time imo, there are only a couple of really dumb bombs and most games feature a good mix of interaction and creature combat. Escape makes mill effects more interesting, when normally they are just on an entirely different axis and can be frustrating from both sides of the table.

Question for anyone who's gotten a Mythic Qualifier: at what point are you comfortable to not play anymore and just qualify by the end of the season? Through a combination of stupidly lucky breaks, I got up to 150 with a combination of Mono Red and Temur Reclamation, then yoyo-ed a bit and am at 458 as of this post. With three days left, is it fine to just leave the ranked matches be? I would assume so, but I also don't know if there's a huge rush of people playing at the end of the season to qualify or not.

I just decided to give this game a go. Last time I played magic, my secret weapon was my superior understanding of the difference between instant and interrupt. So my knowledge is a bit outdated. I am trying to unlock those two-color starter decks right now. Are there cross wheel starter decks hidden somewhere? Like red-blue. Also, is modifying the starter decks a good place to start on deck building? While googling that, I stumbled on the official howto post for the tutorial, and it gave me 18 free boosters. Shouldn't that sort of thing be in the OP, or are 18 boosters worth a lot less then they seem? From how I understand the gatcha mechanics, I should unlock all the starter decks before opening those boosters. Is that true?

VictualSquid posted:I just decided to give this game a go. There's a third ring of starter decks outside the initial monocolours and ally-coloured ones, yes, you need to finish the requisitie number of games first with each starter deck to open the next ones connected to it IIRC. Doesn't take long and you can do most of it against the bot. Yes, yougain a little bit by waiting to open the free bosters until after you've unlocked the starter decks, as the starter decks will fill you up on some uncommons, but it doesn't make much difference for the rares/mythics, because the duplicate protection on opening packs stops you getting anything you already have until you have literally all of that rarity from that set, and I'm pretty sure none of the starter decks contain a full playset of any of the rare/mythics, but I could be wrong, it's been a while. There's no need to do it before you'e unlocked all of them anyway. The starter decks are OK, but only OK, they're really not where you want to be if you're playing long-term, and they're not even really good starting points for the current meta. It'll take you a while before you can keep up with the current meta though; it needs a LOT of rare/mythic, which largely come from the whildcard wheels you get when opening packs.
