God I love drafting UB. This deck didn't come close to losing.  See the draft here as I switch out of Shipwreck Sifters disturb and hard in to decayed. T2 lord in to t3 Flip or Falcon, with something to do with the tokens afterwards is usually gg. With the tapper I got by without the black removal. Remember to set a stop on the damage step or end of combat to be able to cast Cobble on your tokens before the decay triggers resolve.

TacoNight posted:You still have to announce all DFCs when drafting in person, right? I never did original innistrad or the recent Zen, and I’m afraid it being awkward going around the table saying our two flippy cards each To can't hide them, but you don't need to say anything. Just put them on the top of your pile so the back is visible, and cover them with your next pick as usual.

Man that game 3 strasky vs sperling was sick. I don't think I could have born foretelling epiphany and hoping I'd get another turn to double iteration it with the mana to just cast it for 7. Not to mention the sick rummage in to test of talents. Great match.

It's fine so far. Lots of non games in limited due to mana issues and mulls. AliasV still sucks as commentary. Interesting how the limited meta was pretty different than what you'd see on arena ladder. Also as mentioned the round 5 match of spasky vs sperling was really good.

^^^^^ I don't see anything objectionable about that at all. He sells sealed product at prices people are willing to pay, cheaper than retail. It's the pump and dumping insinuating you're getting in on the ground floor of some also-ran game that gets me.AngryBooch posted:What's the story behind this? Yeah sorry I should have gone in to it but I'm so incensed. So, he was an early partner with the manufacturer of flesh and blood. So my understanding is he partnered with them to get a vanity card referring to himself made as a thank you? Non tournament legal. Then he got 1500 copies, put them in a secret lair style box, and offered them for fomo sale for $1k each, for 24 hours, promising to keep 10 for his family and destroy the rest publicly. He framed it as a public experiment to see whether people would reject it, making it rarer, and thus more valuable. But at the end of the day he sold like 1300 of them for 1.3 million, and they are totally pointless pieces the equivalent of art cards. It's astounding really.

You can also have more than one rotation a year without shortening the length of legality or shrinking the standard card pool. I think as usual they drew the wrong lesson from the feedback.

HootTheOwl posted:Did Raven man get a card? Nope never did. And they kind of wrapped up Lilliana's story at the end of Strixhaven without revealing who it was. I'm a bit miffed as that's the longest running unresolved storyline in the entire game afaik. The top theory is he's Leshrac who was hanging out on Shandalar where she got the chain veil.

Can't be lesbians if your plane doesn't have the Isle of Lesbos! Anyways, I've started listening to the resleevables. Two eps in and it's as fantastic as everyone mentioned. It's funny hearing it after the arena decklists podcast in my rotation as Patrick is easily five times as capable of communicating and explaining points as Brian Gottleib. It's night and day. The dude has lawyer ultraspecificity brain poisoning or something.

Cactrot posted:I'm not sure this is true, if you exile an opponent's bone crusher giant with robber of the rich and cast stomp off of it, the card goes into exile under your control and you are able to cast the giant from exile. Technically, only permanents have controllers, and permanents are only permanents on the battlefield. So when referring to cards in exile it will say 'cards you own' or whatever generically. And for specific things it usually goes off the 'you' or the controller of the ability specifying what happens to it when put in exile.

HootTheOwl posted:Ok so between MID and VOW how many did you get So I started playing arena seriously at the beginning of MID. I have had an account since beta though not with much stuff on it. I think I started with 25k gold, 8k gems, 5 mythic WCs and 15ish rare WCs. I did 24 MID drafts over the season, and played a bit of standard using the welcome deck to get to plat and mostly brawl to hit 4 wins most days. I ended up buying the season pass and then cracking all my packs at the end. I got a helpful email saying that amounted to 147 packs and I am now at 60k gold 9k gems after buying the VOW pass, with I'd say 60% rare & mythic coverage from MID and my WCs are at 26/53. So if you buy a lump of gems once and draft reasonably well and hit your dailies it's not actually that bad.

HootTheOwl posted:If I'm reading this correctly though you only got about 10, plus 60% coverage. That coverage isn't 4-of right? 1 is the same as 100? No that is coverage-of-playsets. I can check after work but without purchasing any packs or redeeming any WCs I ended up net WCs and am most of the way to getting every/rare mythic, so that if I DID want to redeem a WC I am more likely than not half or mostly there.

Captain Invictus posted:I love limited but not for how much they charge vs how badly you can dud out at 3 or fewer wins. What's the term for a free version with drastically reduced or nonexistent prizes? Shadow? I'd like a like 500 gold practice draft that you can get a rare or two from and don't get to keep the stuff you draft, just to have a cheap draft option tbh It's overpriced for sure, but I can tell myself it's cheaper than the lgs would be, not even factoring in the beer and tacos that would involve.

Fantastic Foreskin posted:Idle musings, how would y'all feel if in the new OP structure, whatever it may be, they gave exclusive promos as prizes/trophies? GP winners get (one, two, a sheet) of that year's winner promo, 2-8 get a different card, and another card set for worlds? Given that they're going to cheap out on it. Feels a lot like judge promos, so, mostly irrelevant. Also like state champs? I remember the full art mutavault from something like this. The proliferation of alternate treatments, classic frame, two types of foilings, extended art, full art and all that has kind of shown me that adding yet another 'special' treatment is just not interesting any more. They should stick to what people want imo: Large cash prizes and qualification for future events. If they ever got their head out of their asses they'd do what wsop or similar does and offer prizes that scale with the number of entrants and deal with the legal consequences.

I cannot even conceive the mindset of someone wanting to drop thousands on a legacy card in tyool 2021. There's nowhere to play, the format has no long term future, and serviceable counterfeits are mere dollars.
