I get way more out of lords of limited than I ever got of LR. i usually only end up listening at the start of a format, but I dont bother with LR anymore. tried listening to the latest episode and its just marshall listing off cards and lsv going "yeah that ones good"

I stopped listening to LR when they started shilling crypto, did they have to do a special episode when FTX collapsed lol Lords of Limited gets put on if I run out of stuff I have tended to prefer Limited Level-Ups being more "here's general strategic thinking that could apply to this set" and Sam Black's Drafting Archetypes just to identify gameplans, I have found that more useful than the continuous card rating focus of LOL. Watching Sam Black stream drafts is also pretty useful. Jim Davis is mostly for entertainment value once I'm out of the basic training for a set

Simply Simon posted:oof that doesn't really come together, does it Went 6-3 with this deck in the end lol. Thanks for your help!   Last match I was on track for the win until a cityscape leveler demolished my board. Oh well, very very pleased with how this deck performed and it really drilled into me the strats of Just Keep Attacking. Force your opponent to have to make decisions and often enough they'll gently caress it up somewhere. Then just windmill slam junkyard genius once the board stalls and that's game. Seriously junkyard genius is an insane card. Won me so many games

Stupid sausage fingers hit the close game button before I could take a screenshot but mono green ramp is fun in gladiator. Playing against esper artifacts game 1 vorniclex into ugin ultimate took it, game 2 got out valued by him looping a sculpting steel as a hedron archive, game 3 kept a 1 lander and cast turn 5 nyxbloom ancient into Verdant Rejuvenation for a bunch more permanents wrapped it up.

Wouldnt play it on turn 4 but didnt feel bad playing it when the board stalled out and once it was out I could just dig and dig for whatever I needed to break the stall, removal or junkyard genius or whatever. Playing scrapwork rager to draw two cards and then unearthing it to do it again was mega. It basically adds another gear to your aggro deck

I went 6-3 with a pretty terrible Soldiers deck. Fun little combo is Urza Prince of Kroog and Surge Engine. Soldiers will really get you there even if you have to force it a bit.

precision posted:If everyone is cutting off R/b entirely W/G and W/U are almost as good imo I think I知 going to explore more stuff now, yeah Unrelated but this format is the hardest attacks/blocks format I have played in a while. I知 leaving points on the table rn. Some of it is starting attacks a turn later than I should, some of it is playing to the board from hand rather than taking advantage of an unearth creature who can get in there this turn but probably not next. I知 doing well but this is an area I need to clean up in the format

i was cleaning up mediocre RB decks yesterday so it seems like the word is out there ive had lots of success with black and green stuff. mill all your unearth stuff and profit. play every mutt and cohort you see and worry about how you will pay for them later  i dont think ive ever been killing it this hard in a format, im loving it

How about this little GW number? https://sealeddeck.tech/DwvNr3754l Not sure I really have enough payoffs for the artifacts entering the battlefield theme? Dont think perimeter patrol is exactly what I'm looking for here? Springleaf Drum + Alloy Animist too much fixing for off colour unearth costs? Though I suppose with them in I could drop and island or two for the blue splash. Havent really played with white yet this set, interested to see how this performs

I ran it thinking it was basically a Stalwart but it turns out that a creature that can tap an artifact or creature is a bit better than an artifact that can only tap creatures in limited

Squinky v2.0 posted:springleaf drum has felt very weak the time i played it, and seems to be just as bad when my opponents play it How good can a card that does nothing get when it doesn't replace itself. You are literally spending a card to do nothing except offer the chance to fix mana. Anything that replaces itself is going to be better. If it means not casting your spells though then you run it, much like how salvage manaworker was the bad but ultimately required card to play in domain decks that had a bad manabase in DMU.

Springleaf drum seems like something you only play in the GW artifacts entering archetype and play late rather than early. 1 mana trigger your stuff and let you splash the off-color unearth on the artifacts seem fine, but running it out as a t1 do nothing play like I see most opponents do just seems like a waste

Otherwise drum bad

Well, I've reached what will definitely be my peak in this format. Opponent cast Cityscape Leveler, targeting my Hoarding Recluse with the cast trigger to blow it up. Got to counter the Leveler and then immediately bottom the Leveler with the Recluse's ability leading to a snap concede while I was still on a losing board. Magic is fun

lol I probably shouldn't be disappointed I 6-3ed once again instead of trophying, but here we are. The other decks being able to grind it out if I didn't get my bombs online and if my fliers were out notched me the last two losses. I have started to raise my opinion of Sky Marshal again after seeing Sam Black play with it and experiencing the longer games where that mana sink can win games on its own.babypolis posted:i was cleaning up mediocre RB decks yesterday so it seems like the word is out there Not as solid as that lol but I do think this is also my most successful set so far? Staying about 60% for so long...

Been running this Izzet tempo deck and finding a lot of success. Taking a full playset of bitter reunion over a variety of blue draw spells has been huge. I was usually discarding them anyway, and the haste effect just comes in handy far too often with the fable/teferi/terror core to take fewer than four. With just those cards I was having a little trouble with bigger bodies and getting the knock out punch, but a fires of victory, mishras command, and a one off Arbiter has given me the options to more or less deal with that. Im trying to find a spot for Balmor or maybe Ancestral Anger but 60 cards is already feeling pretty trim.

Deck-wise what you got is still pretty decent, but you've left Corrupt and Disfigure in your board for some reason? I'm probably cutting Escape and either Fracture, Mutt, or Wellspring for them.

Event #15 https://www.17lands.com/draft/659845c421554a83bbc873840b9457cc This was an interesting draft... In the Trenches seems so powerful but the double pip... do I go three-color with this base? Do I leave white in the board and commit to UR for consistency (or a minor splash with the "free" land?) I am guessing I need 6 sources to make the double pip feasible Hmm I am thinking Urza's Command is worth committing to UR for, synergizes with the main gameplan... oh wow it has a 57.9 overall but an absolutely bonkers 63.0% WR in Izzet. In the Trenches in Boros is 60.2%, I guess I have to consider whether that anthem is a game-winner in my deck. I guess I could just splash Static Net CharlieFoxtrot fucked around with this message at 01:22 on Nov 27, 2022 |
