Yeah Nissa is just loving bananas. I built that deck and played 2-3 games with it and it’s just extremely boring OP. Yorva is the better Mono-G commander because it’s more fair.

Why do people who play a T1 Fabled Passage take forever to sac it? Also those did you enjoy yourself polls are weird since good is red and bad is blue, which is backwards color coding. GrandpaPants fucked around with this message at 03:52 on Mar 25, 2020 |

Do you mean forever like they wait until you're through your turn to crack it or literally a long amount of time to find the land they want? Because usually I'll wait until my opponent's end step out of habit to conceal information. Also, I'll frequently not crack it until I need to if I would rather draw a land.

slow decks might also not have any obvious turn 2 or 3 plays in hand and maybe want to see what colours they end up actually needing to go fetch but if it's just slow first turns it's because they alt-tab out because they are awful people

I usually don't post my results for drafts in here, because on a good day I usually hit 4-3 or 5-3 at best. With this pile I was sure it was gonna be another bad one, because I just let the draft get away from me and I had this weird hodgepodge that I thought wouldn't win a single match. Then, uh...

If you can get Acolyte killed, they can recur each other infinitely, or you can break the cycle and get another key card back instead.

Ooof when I was 1-2 with this really pretty sold pool I was pretty worried. https://www.17lands.com/deck/d50a0e78bef4457caf6c3a50d39de9bb/2 Ended up 5-3, which is honestly I think worse than it deserved. Could have used a touch more removal, though. Hornbeetles are surprisingly good when they go off. Klothys continues to be just a little underwhelming.

TheMaestroso posted:New Bo3 draft - having a very hard time cutting cards! TheMaestroso posted:Update on this: 3-0 so far. I changed -1 Omen of the Dead, -1 Inevitable End, -1 Hero of the Winds, -1 Swamp, -1 Omen of the Sun. The round I just played was against Dream Trawler Final update: went 5-0 pretty handily. I think any deck that has Chimera/Hoplite really wants Courser for the devotion boost, especially since it's pretty difficult to kill right away.

thespaceinvader posted:Ooof when I was 1-2 with this really pretty sold pool I was pretty worried. 11 creatures plus Klothys and Iroan Games is FAR too few. should have played huntmaster and warleader to make sure that those beetles are going off more reliably. you're playing way too much pump, your guys are already bigger than your opponent's on average. cut infuriate, both hydra growths, and aspect of manticore. gift of strength is ok since it lets you deal with fliers and if you're short on removal you can try to get your opponent's double blocks with pump. doom can probably stay but you want more 2 drops with it so you can just wreck you opponent if they don't deal with it right away so those grove dancers can go in. aracnir is a only good of you're reliably dumping it in the graveyard, because drawing a 1/2 do nothing is awful. hero also is a bad fit once we cut all these garbage auras. tower scout might have to come in since your creature count seems low still? I'm not doing the math here. relentless pursuit matters less in a deck with so little escape, binding of titans is similar but has a little more application because of the regrowth part. the first amulet over a land is a usually free so I'd recommend it in any deck that has escape and can spare the mana (ie isn't curving aggressively for the first 3-4 turns), but with all the these changes I've lost track of your mana curve so it might not be right, here. phone posting so I can't see the draft but this deck would love a Wings of Hubris and those often come late enough. it's pretty much doing the same role as Wrap here but better since it works on offence and defense, especially since we're ditching the one hero. klotyhs does is a often just a jacked up ill gotten gains (from Ravnica Allegiance) but just like that card it's only good when you're ahead and pressuring your opponent's life, it's not a card that's good when you're behind. you also need to be forcing trades or otherwise getting cards in the graveyard because it's not a creature enough of the time reliably so it's main application is as the life drain.

Lone Goat posted:11 creatures plus Klothys and Iroan Games is FAR too few. should have played huntmaster and warleader to make sure that those beetles are going off more reliably. All good to bear in mind for next time, thanks. I did have amulet in the first version of the deck but I found it was hurting the curve too much, and not gaining me much when I had it. I swapped it out for Pursuit and found that a lot more useful, because honestly a 3 mana draw 2 is pretty solid, which is what it was every time, especially with some selection of the draw occasionally. I probably could have had a Wings in there, but that was why I had the Forerunner, which I used to good effect to push damage with big dudes. Aracnir is a good thought. I usually try to include a single one drop creature for curve but I was probably too conservative with swinging with it against blockers that kill it, because it's way better once it's escaped, and I'm used to more useful 1-drops generally like Wayfarer or Eidolon. Klothys was something that I leaped on because sure, a draft with 4 on-colour rare/mythics is great, but possibly should have looked at a little more closely in terms of value. IIRC I did check the rest of the pack for better stuff before I took it, but I think maybe I missed out on a Setessan Training or a Warbriar Blessing I could have had. I did get it swinging a couple of times though, which was amusing, but yeah, it's really not as bomby as it looks. That 7 devotion is a hard climb. E: looking at the draft it was Anax who was the alternative and on reflection would have been a better choice right the way through. And it looks like I skipped an Iroas's Blessing a couple of picks later for a soul guide lantern I didn't use which was a cock-up for sure. Manticore + Hydra's Growth won me at least two games though (albeit, probably my opponent in at least one of them made a mistake with their blocking that opened up the blowout), I don't feel like either of those is as terrible as you're making out. The one I probably would have cut is Impending Doom (maybe I did in the final build?), but I forgot until I got it played AND had to swing with it, that I had to swing with it. Still, it got me enough to fund the next draft, but I'm waiting to do that til tomorrow when I've not run out of dailies. E: here's the whole draft if you really wanna tear it up. https://www.17lands.com/draft/d50a0e78bef4457caf6c3a50d39de9bb thespaceinvader fucked around with this message at 17:35 on Mar 26, 2020 |

Hydra's growth is a bad card and is a complete trap. Its a card that seems really good when your opponent can do literally nothing about it but most opponents can do something about it and you are just going to 2-1 yourself like 80% of the time.

I have been playing Arena for almost exactly one month now. And I just made it to Mythic. The most fun part about running a budget version of RDW is: Stomping the expensive version of RDW on turn 4 because those 20ish extra rares make less difference then playing first. And because they fail to take advantage of my weaker cards, because they think I have the more expensive versions on my hand. What does that 90% line on the mythic rank mean?

The percentage is supposed to be the percentage of total players in the whole game below your skill level (I think? or maybe just the number of mythic players?), if you get high enough it turns into numbers, those numbers are your current rank for that play type.
