RembrandtQEinstein posted:Standard looks...fun? The relatively huge card pool (compared to pre-rotation change) actually makes it seem like there are some possibilities out there. And also no cat armies helps. I actually think there might be another version of the Shadow of the Grave combo deck out there since Baral and Curious Homunculus are running around along with Collective Defiance and Fateful Showdown. Something like: Baral x 4 Homunculus x 4 Shadow of the Grave x 4 Defiance x 4 Showdown x4 Corrupted Grafstone x 4 Pieces of the Puzzle x 4 Anticipate x 4 Commit//Memory x 2-4 And then some other stuff, maybe Cathartic Reunion for consistency, or something like Thing in the Ice/Rise from the Tides/Fevered Visions/Spell copying effects. Probably only good enough for FNM, but hey, actually exciting enough (at least for me) to try to mess around with since there are some tools out there with the expanded card pool. Edit: Ooh, or even the new red split card that has the double damage/damage can't be prevented side. Actually kind of interesting!

Since it hasn't really come up yet, TDSL has been interesting. It feels like the old timers have been getting wrecked which might be attributable to 1) They just don't draft AKH too much 2) The new world order fairly ruined draft strategies that aimed to leave your opponents only with cards that replace colors on permanents or w/e Probably a large part the former, but it feels like the latter has some kind of effect. Not a huge deal, but kinda funny given all the talk of how team drafting so thoroughly changes the strategy of drafting etc.

They probably just messed up and its supposed to be "Return to Dominaria" or something right? I'm in the "underwhelmed" camp for this set but I am patiently waiting for all the commons to be spoiled so that (god willing) songs of the damned cycling can be t1 in pauper.

Fingers McLongDong posted:It's also fine to feel confident with a deck you know really well. I know taxes isn't the best deck in modern, but I've been playing those strategies for a long time and probably feel overly confident about my matchups. Yup, deck familiarity/archetype familiarity is pretty important. I'm a decent player but I'm surprisingly bad at creature combat math/strategy, so I play combo or control (mostly combo). Could polish up other things but don't want to take the time. quote:Aside from Gerard Fabiano, who is a successful magic player that is not smart? Traditionally figured intelligence doesn't always turn into success in games; savantism doesn't necessarily imply intelligence for example. Not sure I'd count Gerard in that group though.

I know he wrote for the bad seasons of Roseanne, but surely poo poo like that flavor text must embarrass him. I actually want to compile all of the worst flavor text over the past few years. Something tells me most of them will be poor attempts to shoehorn "worldbuilding" into the 20 word limit text box on the bottom of an expensive piece of cardboard.

Finally had dimir mill/lantern open in a Rav draft, swept through 2-0 until losing to a more counter heavy dimir deck for 3-0  As fun as reputed though, would suggest if it is ever somehow open

Ein Sexmonster posted:We did just see a very potent common payoff for limited. This guy really wants treasure payoffs too though. He seems extremely niche and only good if you have good payoffs for both parts of the card. If he was 1R improvise shenanigans could happen, but maybe that would have been too good? RR seems too restrictive for an improvise deck. The best pirates so far seem to be u/b anyway

Pontius Pilate posted:Played in a pppptq this past Saturday at a store that was an "abandoned laundromat" in the owner's words. They hadn't had running water for a couple months because supposedly the county was loving them over. The owner said we could use the bathroom in the dollar general across the street and phrased it in a way that made it sound like they had an arrangement. This was not the case as several people reported when they tried exactly that. In response to this, the owner said he used to be a store manager there and you could just use the bathroom and the employees can't stop you. As most people aren't sociopaths we just pissed in the woods behind but I felt bad for the couple women, and especially bad for the trans one. To add to this it was clear that he had been pissing in the woods for months himself I'm glad this was only the event of this sort I really plan on playing; kinda sums the whole thing up Edit: To be additionally clear, his words were, verbatim "They can't stop you", which conjures up images of him walking in there every day to talk a poo poo, staring deep into the manager's eyes the whole time while giving her the finger

I've done like 4 drafts, not avr level but not super impressive. As others have noted there is some fairly crazy power discrepancy stuff happening. I like r/w aggro; the 2/3 dino fiend binder is kinda a house and you can end up with a ludicrous amount of them. 3 mana for that effect is real cheap and real good.

sit on my Facebook posted:If you think these guys don't mess up combat math or sequencing you don't watch enough matches because they do it on camera, nevermind the matches we don't see, all the time. Sure to the first point (would be better put as "mess up those things far less") but I really think its the other way around for the second.

I've been doing well in this draft format and it kinda depresses me. I've come around to liking u/b a lot though. It's basically interaction.dek in this format and a lot of the u commons really shore up the ground.
