I really like how they did color identity for this set. It's very mix and match which is nice (although Black in general seems absurdly good)

wei posted:https://sealeddeck.tech/i0nFed9zG0 This manabase looks pretty good to me. I haven't really seen a good Threats Undetected deck, but maybe it works here? There's beef at 4, 5, 7 power and cards your opponent can't really let you have at 2, 3 power. This is a good bit better than what I ended up going with I think. Only 3 wins unfortunately, but it turned out that Threats Undetected was great, yeah. Thanks for the look. I did t really put enough of the green power in the deck, and went with a lower curve. Wimp!

Raff + Karn is a very fun combo in draft, at least when you have 11 plains! Been a very up and down draft format for me, but it's fun

would have otherwise. I ended up running a Boros list that is doing pretty well (4-0 so well) which is great after going 0-3, 1-3, 1-3 on the drafts lol

Thanks - https://sealeddeck.tech/a5Hf5lUE27 Went 7-2!! Honestly very good tech but dunno if it could have been better. Weird how the sideboard exported like that is that to show the whole pool?

reignonyourparade posted:Fable isn't going to eat a ban because broadly speaking people LIKE what it's been doing to the format. Midrange valuetown opens up space for a LOT of different decks within midrange valuetown and Fable is a giant part of that. Like when Divide by Zero ate a ban for Alrund Epiphany and Hullbreaker Horror's sins, it wasn't just because Divide by Zero was a really good card, it was because people loving hated what the blue decks were doing to the format. fable can eat my dick balls and rear end op

Starting this draft run off by casting Liliana, making them sac, making them discard, making them sac again, and then using urborg repossession to buy back both liliana and the other card i discarded to make them sac their third bomb card... i hope this is a good sign

Ah, the eternal "this new card is bad and niche" - "this card is actually good and fun" - "this card is actually busted and boring" - "why are they taking so long to ban this card" - "why did they ban this card, It promoted good play, instead of the currently boring and busted card" cycle of good MtG cards.

Another 7-1 draft for me!   I really prioritized lands here, and my deck was a lot better as a result. I wish I had more Tolarian Terror's, but I passed some for lands and don't feel that bad about it. Shout out to the last game where my opponent was clearly holding a wipe and I turned into aggro, used Gaea's might to protect the Keldon flamesage. They finally stabilized but I was able to use Tolarian Geyser to bounce my own Meria's Outrider and burn them out of the game.

Well it turned out the draft I posted yesterday was pretty dire, but I somehow managed to eke out two wins largely thanks to Necromass, War-Leech, Bortuk, and Uurg. The self-mill graveyard deck is real.

UG domain has been doing pretty well for me, I just trophied again with it. Maybe it's just because the RB/WB/WR/WB decks haven't been open for me, but there UG pieces have been easy to pick up and make it easy to splash the best cards from the other colors. I've won multiple games by having Deathbloom Gardener holding off their biggest creatures until Herd Migration or Tatyova take over the game.

Sheoldred, much like Fable, is one of those cards that has so much value it's never out of place in any deck. If the opponent doesn't answer it immediately you'll run away with the game, it exists to bait removal/counterspells.

 Draft Opened on blue cards but that dried up quick, and I've been hearing chatter about RG domain aggro that plays a bunch of cheap dipshits and trample creatures to then blast people out with enormous Gaea's Mights and Colossal Growths, and also using pump spells to get Molten Monstrosity out for cheap. Dark Ritual that also deals 3-5 damage to your opponent is pretty good? I took Iconoclast as a signal to go for it, and just grabbed whatever dumbass RG creatures and Rx/Gx duals I could, totally slopping it up with 3/3 vanillas. P3p1 Defiler of Vigor was a gift but also I don't think I triggered even once? A little short on green creatures and it was getting killed immediately almost every time. P3p4 Magnigoth Sentry maybe should have been Vineshaper Prodigy since I had a few blue sources, and it's fine as a bear in my deck. This not the ideal build at all, but the core shell is there. Enlisting Coalition Warbrute while you have Gaea's Might in hand is extremely rude. Picker did its job as a cheap beater then rummaging past lands to find kill spells. Two losses were from playing a total buffoon. No math alpha strike a turn or two too early that was extremely not lethal and left me open to a game-losing counterattack, and a game where I was running from ghosts playing around tricks that didn't exist, and took like 8-10 damage I just didn't need to. If you want to dunk on some fools, give Gruul a try. You NEED the pump spells, Monstrosity and Outrider are great, some removal and just a parade of cheap dopes. I didn't splash around in this deck, but you have a lot of options available you're taking lands for domain. And sometimes you can just do nonsense like this  Result: 7-2 in platinum

I like the pivot, would have been hard to give up the early Vortex and Geyser. Spotting the open lane has felt more important this set than recent ones for sure. I almost want to take Brawler over Defiler P3P1 but Defiler's safer with only 2 duals in the pool at the time. I've been loving the beatdown oriented Jund-adjacent domain decks too, they were my last two trophies. The first one is kind of weird with the 3 Amplifiers but it does the Gruul thing, definitely wanted more Monstrosities. Second one is more graveyard based but still very proactive for GBr. ncaa was talking about how Gaea's Might is the best G common and I agree, it's obviously great in these decks but still works really well for the slower G decks trying to turn the corner.

For some reason I did not have 17 lands turned on for this last draft, it was a wild one. I could use some advice on what to cut. https://sealeddeck.tech/949ZTzixJD I am thinking the red dual lands should be replaced with basics, and just stick to WBg. Then the bortuk seems like a potential cut. Maybe 4 captains call is to many.

The bulk of your deck doesn't do anything proactive (naked 1/1s and 3 walls) but you can grind with Braids and graveyard stuff. I'm not splashing for 3 mana 3/3s so I cut the badgers.

Event #20 https://www.17lands.com/draft/32aefa9fc3aa4c29b3eb8ca682cd4c5d I thought this was going to be my last hurrah from my initial buy-in... but I guess I am still fighting for life lol     Liliana was a hard carry. Dropping her on an early board and forcing a sacrifice, then ticking up threatening another sacrifice or even ulting, was great. Starting to discard early was fine for me as I could just stock the graveyard with things for my Repossession or Soultender to pick back up later. And grinding out the game gave time for the defender package, which protected Liliana well, to Chaplain off. Last game I was able to regrow Chaplain, which owned. Buying back weatherseed to put 3-4 points of damage on a bird was good, i had a gaea's blessing to do that too but i don't think I drew it lol. My two losses were to decks that didn't care about Liliana because they were Chaplain decks. I guess it's lucky I only faced two that were able to go off... I guess I really have become an acolyte of Sam Black, the green/black value decks he played in NEO and here are the ones that make the most sense to me I think.

Lol just had someone triple block my writhing necromass. They must not realise you can turn off auto assign combat damage E: and they just killed themselves by playing an unkicked sheoldreds restoration lmao oops EE: oh yeah and earlier in the match I blocked their hulking cyclops with my phyrexian warhorse and the 1/1 token it created, they used the cyclops ability to sac one of their creatures to kill the 1/1 but I was able to sac it in response giving the warhorse +2/+1 and making the trade anyway. Lots of unforced errors from my opponent in that match, havent seen play that bad in a while. They would have won if they were tighter, I was constantly behind the whole match! fridge corn fucked around with this message at 10:34 on Sep 12, 2022 |

Event #21 https://www.17lands.com/draft/829562a3cf854c429a7ee0c5d4a59bb5 Leaning towards a Bantish domain with this one after getting early Phyrexian Missionary and later UG legends. I don't think I got enough Domain enablers to easily get full domain -- weird to say it but I think I should have picked a Vinewall P2P1 lol? Instead I guess I'll focus on trying to keep consistent mana for the core, with green as the center color I think this is doable. It's pretty much efficient 2 drops where if I end up with the kicker great but the cards are good on rate regardless, into big chonkers and UG takeover cards. I could have seen a path where I picked up all those Talas Lookouts and went full UG but I think Destroy Evil might make the split worthwhile? What if I played Pixie Illusionist instead of Argivian Cavalier to better enable Full Domain lol

Even though theoretically the reward structure for Bo1 is much less punishing than Bo3, I think I'll be sticking to Bo3 even for set drafts going forward just because getting to x-3 because you flooded out a couple games or didn't draw your bomb feels bad.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Event #21 P1P3 WG dual > Phalanx. Phalanx is pretty average but a WG dual is really good with a Missionary + Treaty start P2P9 Don't really care about Vinewall in what is looking like an assertive domain deck. I just take the WB dual here because that 1B kicker on Missionary turns it from a good to great card P2P12 Captain's Call here? I don't see us running Scout the Wilderness P3P1 Less sure about this but I would just take Rootwalla or a dual, we already have a copy of Destroy Evil and other interaction https://sealeddeck.tech/8OjG9ryBlz I added 2 Forests Swamp and trimmed 2 Islands Plains. As I said Missionary becomes that much better when kicked so being able to fetch a Swamp is nice. I could see going down to 9 G sources to get a better spread for Domain or keep 10 and run one copy of Scout the Wilderness. Not as concerned about W and U requirements because most of those cards are usually better off curve. I also went with 3rd Might over 2nd Destroy Evil but don't feel strongly about either configuration.

That only happens when you rely on winning drafts to pay for drafts. Once you realize drafting is a black hole where all of your disposable income goes, losses stop mattering so much. You can always buy more gems, getting good at draft is EXPENSIVE and there's really no getting around that.
