Zero VGS posted:I ran into my first Priest of Possibility deck in Historic Mythic, I beat them with my Kobold/Dragon cheat deck but it was close. Deck 4 Priest of Possibility 4 Lae'zel, Githyanki Warrior 4 Danitha, Benalia's Hope 4 Sphinx of the Guildpact 4 Striped Riverwinder 4 Zetalpa, Primal Dawn 4 Curious Obsession 4 Staggering Insight 4 All That Glitters 4 Darksteel Citadel 4 Razortide Bridge 1 Island 5 Plains 4 Adarkar Wastes 2 Cascading Cataracts 4 Hallowed Fountain That's what I see for the historic list. The guy pops up in orzov aggro in alchemy occasionally, but I think the use there is more incidental minor bonuses rather than a deck focused on the actual guy himself. What would be the big payoff for it in alchemy?

Simply Simon posted:Did a Quick Draft: Simply Simon posted:draft draft draft First loss was to Nemata. It counters Splatter Goblin, it counters Conoisseur, and I can't get through the air - just completely screws this deck on all fronts. If I'd have gotten a Lagomos (would have LOVED that), even that would have just fed Nemata!! Chick did a lot of work, for the record - lots of games I had to close out or die next turn, and in total 3-4 pings and then three damage with the frenzy at once really matters.

Standingstoic posted:Deck Thanks, I noticed that list has Sphinx of the Guildpact which has “Hexproof from mono colored” in the text. Does Priest get that limited version from Sphinx, or does it get full Hexproof because it only sees the keyword, or does it get nothing because the keyword isn’t only “Hexproof”. Alchemy cards doesn’t show up in Gatherer so I don’t get the FAQ-style Oracle rulings.

Recently built two WBg draft decks (5-3 and 2-1; premier and trad respectively) featuring my new favourite play pattern in DMU limited: Kicked Benalish Sleeper Braid's Frightful Return Sleeper Again (and Braid's chapter 3 means you either draw a card or they sacrifice another thing) Urborg Repossession (Braid's and Sleeper) Sleeper Braids Sleeper + draw/sacrifice from Braids 5-7 dead dudes for three cards (albeit over a few turns). It's very hard to disrupt shy of Negate or Captain's Call/Strike Team, and two of the required cards (Braids and Sleeper) can sometimes go very late. There's a lot to recommend about the WB decks (even if they do require a little luck in coming together). fridge corn posted:
Quite often (assuming I'm in White or can splash), I'll spec on a Shield Wall Sentinel or two if they turn up in mediocre packs just in case this happens. And any on-colour walls that happen to appear in replacement level packs, too. I've ended up with more than one deck with a very strong defender package because Wingmantles dropped into my lap in Pack 3. Death of Rats fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Oct 24, 2022 |

It always amazes me how badly Wizards manages to gently caress up a simple message on the Mastery screen basically every time. In the past things like the wrong set have been named, the current one says the nonsense "Unspent orbs from this mastery will be lost when the next set's mastery is complete."

Oh, I should have time to digest this Limited Level-Ups podcast before drafting ELD, this helps https://limitedlevelups.libsyn.com/limited-level-ups-108-throne-of-eldraine-format-breakdown I barely consumed any content relative to playing the format back then (I think I watched some LSV vods at the time) so this whole thing about a 13-4 manabase is both revelatory and makes complete sense given the card pool lol

After burning 7 rare WC, I can say the deck is no where in the same winrate league as my Minion of the Mighty deck. It isn't really competitive but it is very fun when I windmill slam a 2/2 on turn 2 with every ability in the game, though:

Yo this draft was SICK. Nobody in the entire pod wanted green. This is basically a mono-green Domain deck, but I also raredrafted like a motherfucker, AND I can play almost all of them? Wild. Check this poo poo out: https://www.17lands.com/draft/aabc31434400499e852178de773db4fa  The Shanna is really only there for lols. My biggest question rn is if I should put an Island in. For her, Nael, and the two kickers. It's probably a good idea to remove the Plaza for said Island...is it fun? Noooo but I should. The deck would probably be better if I just replaced the Shanna with the Soultender, too. Any other thoughts? (btw, this is BO3, I am 1-0 already, deck can do this which is fully sick:)

babypolis posted:1 or 2 days is usually enough. Theres a bunch of data already This site populates the rankings based on 17Lands data, is the set really this cracked/17L users that skewed lol  There is a threshold of games played before it shows up on the chart so most of the mythics and some of the rares aren't on here yet. But lol, the first white uncommon really isn't until way down with a 56% GIHWR while blue has a common in the top ten. I assume this is mainly skewed to the veterans who are going in with a solved format in their heads skewing the picks?

That makes sense. I looked at the data with the caveats and just went by reading the cards in line with the Limited Level-Ups tips. https://www.17lands.com/draft/77b5ab79668c47a5a92bfc07fc8bc696 Is this anything lol? I followed the advice of taking artifacts early to see if there was anything . I saw a lot of blue early but I couldn't tell if it was any good. Red removal got my toe in there and when I saw Grumgully I went for GR... hoping for less R but is this doable Edit: reviewing the draft could black have been good in pack 1, the Piper and two Reapers leading into one of the hybrid Bs in pack 2? I guess I got scared by the podcast saying "Black is the worst color but not by much" and there were a lot of cards to read...

Haven’t played very much limited this month after hitting mythic last month but I just drafted the first deck I have had in this format where the 3/2 that loses you life was good. Very fun deck when it’s open

Yeah this draft just looks like you didn't really find your lane, that can be pretty punishing in ELD especially I've found. Black was definitely where you wanted to be and Piper would've been a very good start, but obviously you don't know your p2p1 and p3p1 would've gone into a sick black deck at the time. Blue looked ok but I don't know where the on ramp would've been for that.

Second draft of the day: Was originally in blue instead of white because I saw 3 essence scatters in pack 1 but then I didn’t see another blue card for 2 packs. Spec pick wing mantle got moved into the deck and I hoped I to see any other playable white cards and, luckily, I saw some. This deck had no margin for error during gameplay but we got there:

Zero VGS i was playing a slightly modified version of your minion deck (just some dragons subbed cos i didnt want to spend wildcards on them) and would just like to report an absolutely stupid win i kept a hand with no minions cos i had everything else and two faithless lootings so i thought surely i'd get it. sure enough despite flashing back both and drawing a third i still didnt get a minion, but the other guy was playing red burn with some kind of twincast theme to it. other guy was holding his spells for quite a while before he started burning me i assume to try and snag any creatures i did cast, but stalled out on 4 land. i eventually got to 7 and just cast a terror of mount velus regular style because gently caress it i did have a cast red creatures daily and assumed it was a clear loss anyway, then he finally drew a land and (i guess assuming i was playing a regular dragon deck, not minion) cast double vision instead of burning the terror. my turn rolled around and i just hit it with several buff spells and punched him in the face for lethal regular style which i really dont think he was expecting
