little munchkin posted:maindeck skullcrack has always seemed like a bit of a dud to me, not a lot of lifegain in game 1s and it's not going to be apparent which turn you need to be holding mana up for it Word thanks. Do you think it would be worth putting some kind of graveyard hate in the sideboard. I have a couple of soul guide lanterns

Burn usually doesn't need graveyard hate - you still need to draw enough burn to actually win the game, and spending a card and mana on something that doesn't do that is hard to justify. Roiling Vortex is a way better card to bring in against Living End, and every other graveyard deck is something you'd just out-race rather than hurting your own consistency to try and interact with them.

Cool thanks. So what I’m thinking honestly is just take out the main deck skullcracks, bring in one more land and a fourth lightning helix and put those skullcracks in the SB instead of exquisite firecraft

I only mentioned it before cause this episode is not representative of what you normally get from LLU, and the pod as a whole shouldn't be judged by it.

mcmagic posted:I don't like Prismatic Ending in burn over Path. The rest of this list looks good. I guess ending has the advantage of being able to hit things besides creatures but you also have shatterskull smashing for artifacts and realistically you’re not gonna hit any enchantments or planeswalkers with only two colors

The reason to play ending is that it kills chalice in the UW matchup but i feel like that matchup is not great even with it.

I'm not a complete newbie, but I am super inconsistent when it comes to drafting (I've probably done around 30 on Arena if I've had to guess). I've trophied a few times but I'm just as likely to 1-2 as I am 7-2. My average is probably 3-5 wins before I hit my 3 losses. What would be something good to watch/listen to for someone where I'm at?

What would be something good to watch/listen to for someone where I'm at? all of the podcasts mentioned are worth checking out. i don't watch many twitch streams but pretty much anyone ranked diamond or higher is worth watching to see how they approach drafts/games. people like to meme or experiment so be careful about mimicking a streamer too closely installing a tracker is also super helpful (17lands is the best one for limited). you can look up win rates for colors, individual cards, track your personal w/l record, etc. it'll also log your games and drafts so you can go back and review stuff, or send links to other ppl to get their input the goon discord is also a potential resource, people stream their own drafts every now and then so you can watch people while talking to them or stream your own while getting feedback

lord of limited seems good i just wish they'd put up their review in the actual order.. not that the order technically matters but just kinda annoying this sounds right... but also seems non-intuitive that exploit can be basically fizzled. edit: ah nvm i misunderstood. he's talking about the creature with exploit..

The whole quoted text is the ability, so yeah when your creatures lose that, you lose your vector for playing them, so the cards just stay in exile forever (I’m pretty sure). E: well I guess I could be completely wrong, lol

Are both good listening? the full set review is 6 hours long, while the podcast is like an hour or so, so the podcast is a lot more condensed. as such they dont really do a full set review for the podcast, its more of a primer. they go over what the main archetypes are and what their top commons and uncommons are for each color. also the podcast is done by ben and ethan, while the set reviews are done by ethan and alex, and alex is a much better card evaluator than ben is. so if you have the time and inclination you should watch the set review, otherwise just check out the podcast

I liked the feeling that the hosts had already read all the cards and had an idea of what was going on in the set before starting their review. The part where they explained the mechanics wasn't useful for me, but hearing their overall thoughts on what archetypes they think are well supported was great.
