I'm not good enough to get there playing Premier normally but I've exploited quick drafts to squeeze in. For limited it takes a consistent 65% bo1 winrate; it's probably in the 70s or higher for bo3 constructed. Best to ignore mythic rank unless you really want to do the qualifier weekend, and even then the play-ins are probably a more reasonable way to get in.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Event #5 I would have mostly done the same, but wouldn't have specced on white in pack 2 especially after a P2P5 Balmor. There was P2P1 Impulse > Chaplain, P2P6 Impede Momentum > Captain's Call, and P2P11 Tolarian Terror is blue's best common imo over Artillery Blast. The way the draft is going it's unlikely you pivot into defenders. UR looks better to me I think, but it's only day 2 so I'm not super confident. Raff isn't worth splashing because UR tends to be light on the board. I think you're possibly underrating Essence Scatter and Tolarian Terror which are auto-includes for me (looking at your 2nd deck on 17lands). https://sealeddeck.tech/E1lnMUL5yx UR https://sealeddeck.tech/l8DEDVLfK0 UW (not splashing because you have no fixing) wei fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Sep 3, 2022 |

Yeah the fragments are dorky but they can be real threats sometimes. I would run 17 lands usually but with 2 cantrips and a bunch of card selection 16 should be fine. Terrors get really cheap with said cantrips and Impulses and getting them to cost less than 3 has happened more than I've expected. Counterspells are good with Impulse yes, and Essence Scatter is really strong against etb kicker creatures or just as to counter their 2 drop while you build up to cheaper Terrors. Less thrilled with Negate and the Cancel variant but they should play fine with the other things you have going. Edit: mana base should def be 9u/7r or even 10/6 wei fucked around with this message at 01:37 on Sep 3, 2022 |

You can definitely do slow domain stuff in Bo1, these decks went 7-1 and 6-3 respectively. Not sure why 17lands registers the second as 1-3 but if you click through to Details it should show the correct record. https://www.17lands.com/deck/43821ebc34fc4e9c933c760cab31cc33 https://www.17lands.com/deck/b172f7aca7634445a8d03251e4ea5d17

Long post ahead, hoping to summarise what I've learnt from the first weekend of drafts and 17lands stats. White One of the deepest colours in the format, it has a strong theme within the colour, and it pairs well with the other 4. For most part it's a go-wide deck that does chip damage and eventually builds a board that can alpha strike. Key commons    Honourable mentions/Role players    Captain's Call and Argivian Cavalier both do exactly what White wants to do. Take Up the Shield - A really solid combat trick, akin to Feat of Resistance in M21. Lifelink is really good and swings games, despite Indestructible being less flexible than Protection. Destroy Evil - It appeared surprisingly high in the stats (2nd highest W common) and as it turns out it's quite worthy of the maindeck. Usually finds a target eventually, good against Domain decks' big creatures and is extremely efficient. Citizen's Arrest - Not high on my pick order but still a solid removal spell. Strikes against it are that it isn't an instant or sorcery, the Domain decks prefer Artillery Blast or removal in another colour, and it's vulnerable to Destroy Evil blowouts. WU tends to also have an instant/sorcery theme and a few flyers. WB is a little more attrition based. Black has removal, Phyrexian Rager, and Phyrexian Warhorse. Elas il-Kor and Phyrexian Missionary in particular are strong pulls to this deck. WR wants to be more aggressive but it can also patiently go-wide. Heroic Charge can be kicked in this pair and the 2R haste 3/1 (see below) is a serious threat in the late game. Blue The other contender for deepest colour. The theme is instants/sorceries and it also has great tempo tools (Geyser, Scatter). Key commons    Honourable mentions     Phyrexian Espionage - Divination is just good in this format. The 1B kicker is a nice bonus but it's still good without. Tolarian Terror - Not that difficult to get it to an absurdly low mana cost with Blue's cheap spells. UB usually ends up being a reactive deck in my experience. While it has access to great 1-1 interaction it still needs good top-end and 2-for-1s. There's also cute self-mill deck in this pair that runs the 3/1 mill 3 guy, War-Leech, and the 5/5 deathtoucher. UR is one of the more clearly defined two colour archetypes. It can have really explosive starts. Balmor (UR 1/3 bird) and Electrostatic Infantry pull me into this deck. Black I'm not sure yet how to draft decks with Black as the main colour. It's a great support colour but it needs more depth or uncommons/rares to be the base colour I'm drafting around.      Extinguish the Light - Harder to splash but unconditional removal that sometimes comes with lifegain is really nice. Tribute to Urborg - Usually want to be in Blue/Domain for these, but the 1st copy is probably still good enough. Shadow Prophecy and Urborg Repossession - These two are very good in the Domain decks. People have joked on Twitter that Prophecy is Dig Through Time. Repossession is the best common value engine in Domain, the gain 2 is huge. Red Same as Black, I see it as a support colour really. It wants to be an aggressive colour but a lot of its common creatures are medium. I'm mentioning some of its better creatures here but they each support specific archetypes.      Meria's Outrider - In a Domain deck it's a 4/4 Reach body that domes for 3-5 on ETB, very nasty if you can reanimate it. Ghitu Amplifier - Enables UR's explosive potential, kicker is a nice bonus too. Keldon Strike Team - Great in WR because you can kick it reliably, pretty mediocre otherwise. Green This is the base colour for the multicolour domain decks. Most of them are midrange value piles. I'm doing this colour differently because it doesn't really have any pulls at common. The best way to get into this deck is by picking the Domain uncommons or bombs in other colours before solidifying in Green with the commons. Key uncommons     All of these are great and pull me into the Domain deck. Brawler can give the deck an absurd start. Ancient helps you turn the corner very quickly. The saga has been surprisingly good, 1/1s are real cardboard and the final chapter can push a lot of damage. There are also some gold uncommons that are great in this deck - I really like these three in particular:    Commons      (Tapped) Duals - The pick order depends on the draft meta and my current pool, but in a vacuum I would pick the Gx ones over the G commons. If I know I'm in a colour for sure then half-duals get the nod too. Sunbathing Rootwalla - 2 drop that's still good in the late game. Gaea's Might - At the baseline of +2/+2 it's a fine trick, but with 3+ Domain it's so good of a trick that midrange decks would run it. Floriferous Vinewall - Depending on the number of duals in the deck it can get close to being a source of fixing. 6 cards is a lot to pull from. I would rather have actual duals but these can also do the job. They also synergise with our bonus archetype. B or U are the usually the 2nd base colour for these decks. They both have the card draw/value that G lacks on its own. GRx can be a more beatdown-slanted midrange deck if red is somewhat open. The cheap removal is obviously good and Meria's Outrider is a huge threat to the opponents' life total. GWx goes wide but its gold cards aren't amazing. The real pull into this one is Strength of the Coalition (G +2/+2 trick, kicker 2W put a +1/+1 counter on everything). Defenders It turns out that this deck is actually really good! It's all thanks to this card:  It's one of the best performing cards in the set. Shield-Wall Sentinel being able to fetch it makes it very consistent. I would slam pick a Chaplain if offered one, but I'm hesitant to draft Defenders before then because the other payoffs are merely just okay without the Chaplain. The nongreen decks can splash too, there's synergy overlap across most colours. Off-colour kicker or light Domain can sometimes be worth it but it'll largely depend on how free the duals are in a particular pod. It's only been a few days so I'm going to be wrong about some things, and yeah the meta will shift over time. I feel like these drafts have been the most difficult in recent sets with a lot of potential paths and builds, and there are definitely oddball cards and builds that are strong but we've yet to identify. Hope this helps those diving into the format fresh!

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Event #11 I'm not interested in splashing in WR. I would hope to draft an on-colour dual or two for Archangel's B kicker but Braids (BB) is not splashable. P1P2 Elas > Defiler. P1P4 Flowstone Infusion > 3/4 angel. I think Maro in P1P5 is a good speculative pick because I don't mind giving up a Phalanx. You did pick up on this but yeah, in WR you still need to curve out and pressure early. Cards like Phoenix Chick, Samite Herbalist and the 2/2 ape aren't the best cards but they would have been fine picks in packs 2 and 3.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Thanks, that makes sense. I lucked out in jamming in a Vodalian Mindsinger into my previous BG deck, but maybe that worked better because I wanted to play the long game anyway. Based on how I played NEO, I guess golgari value piles just jive with how I play a lot better than other archetypes lol... In the postmortem it became super obvious how I only had one two-drop in the maindeck and maybe I should have even considered playing the Faithbonder just to have a body. Yeah that's exactly it, the games go longer and these decks rarely run out of things to do so the sketchy splashes eventually come into play as long as the deck isn't overloaded with them. This rule is very rough because every pick is so contextual, but if I'm a mostly 2C deck I'm valuing the (half or on-colour) duals above replacement commons. If I start out with good Domain payoffs I'd pick duals over most commons, sometimes over good removal.

Lone Goat posted:Here's what I had, let me know what you ended up with This was a really interesting one, thanks! My initial thoughts were to go Green https://sealeddeck.tech/UxBF4PyO98. Quirion Beastcaller and Guardian of New Benalia (and Squee!) are the top 3 OH WR cards on 17lands, so you potentially have a very explosive early game. The manabase is a bit sketchier but there should be enough early plays with 14 W or G sources. Relic's fixing is good enough and it's cute with Zar Ojanen. I also end up with less interaction but it's still a decent amount? Possible that Lightning Strike should be second Geyser because we have so many blue sources. Also looked at this rough WBx build https://sealeddeck.tech/oot1qEZSdf because there's a decent mill package and Bone Splinters there but I think WGx and UWx are both better.

Lone Goat posted:Yeah I tried a WG base since I had the two uncommons but going deeper on those colours with the Junipers and Sentrys and splashing other colours less (no Ertai, Squee, for example). Why only play one each of Lightning Strike or Tolarian Geyser? It should just be 2 Geyser and no Lightnings, I couldn't decide between the two initially. Straight WG does look very consistent and could be good at getting under the greed piles. kalel posted:
It's an extremely grindy and greedy format, between B and G you have more than enough early plays to buy time for your splashes to come online. Defiler is mostly just a 4/4 menace body with so few black permanents, Splatter Gob and Hexbane Tortoise are extreme filler so I really want to avoid playing them in Sealed. The red cards are still good late, and you have 4 red duals that go with your main colours. Gaea's Might and Tribute to Urborg can come in over Rona/Meteorite. Vohar I'm keeping because it's great with Urborg Reposession. Your graveyard package is the best part of this pool so I'd try my best to run all of it.

There's a ton of removal, duals and two Reposessions so there's a good greed pile. The Shanna splash is a little out there but you have a lot of lifegain triggers in this deck. You can discard the her or creatures you can't play to Goblin Picker, and get them back with Repossession later. Tezzeract posted:Any tips on this pool? I was thinking BR(U), but there's weird tension between the aggressive part of the red pool and the grindier parts of the BR pool. https://sealeddeck.tech/LwTEg3yfYy Not a lot duals or powerful cards in this one, so I would just try to get under your opponents. Fortunately your twos are pretty good at that and 3 Outriders can get in the last points of damage.

Boxman posted:Anyone feel like looking at this draft? I posted about it earlier, ended up at 5 wins (but I'm in shitter tier, so it doesn't mean too much). There was discussion about this earlier but the first two picks I'd probably have gone Rager into Extinguish, but your picks are defensible. P1P3 I'd take Bortuk here because it's a strong pull into the domain/graveyard deck, crazy that it wheeled. P1P4 I like Necromass but usually try to get them later, or wait until I have Soultenders or War-Leech. I'd speculate on the dual here. P1P5 Tribute > Interference P1P7 Scatter > Prophecy P1P10 Espionage > Sojourner P2P5 I like the last pick a lot, with 3 self-mill creatures in the deck I'm very interested in Urborg Reposession over the dual. I know we need duals but at this point I'm leaning harder into the self-mill stuff than Domain. P3P2 Mossbeard Ancient is so much stronger than Sojourner, with your self-mill and raise dead effects it's not difficult to play it a few times in one game. P3P10 You have enough 3s, Magnigoth Sentry is a very good body in these decks. I would have played Tatyova in the deck for sure, over the 2nd Miasma. +1 Island -1 Swamp gives a decent enough mana base for her and you usually want to play her turn 7 if you can help it anyway. I think Gaea's Might is just a little better than Strength of the Coalition here but less sure about that.

Boxman posted:I think the mistake that ties a lot of the mistakes together was hedging toward domain a bit too much. Some of this is probably a fairly specific leak (I had just come off of some success with domain over in Sealed), but more broadly, do you have any thoughts about balancing the need to hit domain with Bortuk (and to help out the other, admittedly less important domain cards) with cards for the main theme of the deck? This feels like it'll be a running theme of the format. You would have to evaluate your pool and cards on a case-by-case basis throughout the draft, which is why I find the drafts so interesting. Bortuk's fail case is a 6 mana 4/4 Gravedigger, which is still okay to good. You have 2s and 3s plus self mill, so it's likely you would get use of the Domain effect by the time you get to 6 mana. Sojourner is an awkward one because it's not worth it till you get 4 or 5 types, but you would still include for War-Leech and creature count. Rootwalla (and Prophecy) I think are fine at 3+ types, I've played Gruul beats with a few duals.

That's the beauty of this format, there's support for a lot of archetypes. I personally would pick a number of uncommons over red defiler because I see it as a B. There are a few cards at common in that 4+ mv slot I'm also happy to run that aren't much worse than defiler. Speaking of GRx domain I've been enjoying it, I get to run combat tricks that are also Dark Ritual with the 7R 5/5 trample monstrosities. And the best common in the format, Lava Axe that comes with a 4/4 reach body.

The defender package is small but okay, hopefully you can recur Wingmantle Chaplain (you can sac her to splinters or the rare Cleric). You can splash any third colour for relatively cheap, I just went with blue for Micromancer and another interaction spell. Essence Scatter is playable too.

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.

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.

If I was considering a spell from the SB over the 17th land it would be Stall > Negate > Impede. Stall is another cantrip Terror discounter and is good in race situations with the Figments.

If anyone's looking to spend their Play-In points, I 6-0'ed on the first try with Sam Rolph's BR Anvil deck in the bonus Play-In event. It felt favoured against the decks I faced and was straightforward to pilot. https://mtgazone.com/bonus-qualifier-play-in-event-guide-and-decklists/ Insurrectionist posted:This was an interesting draft decision for me: I'm on Sentinel as the higher upside pick and you already have good ways to recur the Chaplain. I like Sleeper and think it's above average but you have a decent chance of making playables even if you don't end up running the Defender package.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Is this "obvious trick, don't block" or "make them have it" I think I just block here? They probably have a trick but I'm happy for them to spend a card and slow their board development this turn. Whelp and Love Song aren't great on defense so I'm inclined to protect life total and delay their aggression until I get more mana and options with the instants in our hand.

King Keltair posted:Had a moment of insanity and entered the open with the actually good players. Would appreciate any advice on my build before I play: https://sealeddeck.tech/gFTm3SkMX2 Pretty sick domain deck with a walls package, I'd run it like this https://sealeddeck.tech/Iq9JDkjMbn 3 Vinewalls makes it fine to run 16 lands and gives you a very solid mana base. It's a bit low on interaction but I think the Black cards are better than going deep in White for Arrests.

babypolis posted:thanks for the suggestions, I ended up going with my build because all the top players recommend having a stronger deck over having a stronger manabase, managed to snag the day 2 invite with a 7-2 run I end up with pretty much the same first 19-20 cards but yeah, you were just supposed to play 5c and all the 2 for 1s and big creatures. Waffleopolis posted:Giving Arena Open one shot because what the hell. Here's my pool. same thing here, https://sealeddeck.tech/FbYHY3VGk6. Not sure what the last cut is, prob Sojourner. could also see one of the white removal spells getting played

babypolis posted:out of curiosity, what cards did you disagree on? I think vivisector, sabotage, badger, and librarian were possible includes, maybe a lightning strike for some more cheap removal? I stopped short of 23 but had this as the core https://sealeddeck.tech/wx6vWeNmm8 I like your includes of Terror, Vortex, Scatter, Broken Wings and Grotto. Don't really like Zar and Elas without more token stuff. They're kind of a free splash but I think cutting white just makes the mana a little better which also makes Manaworker unnecessary.

Captain Invictus posted:already answered above, but I said that because if someone casts a sheoldred on their second main phase and you don't have anything to cast/are tapped out on their turn, it will IMMEDIATELY move to your draw phase, automatically hitting you for 2 when you may have been able to nuke the sheoldred during your untap phase. Even if you windmill slam the force stop button it doesn't matter, once that sheoldred is being cast its merely going through a visual process on screen, in the game it has already moved to your draw step since there was no further action that could be taken at the time of casting, and the visual of the different phases changing is purely cosmetic, you cannot actually stop it unless you already had a stop set up prior to the sheoldred being cast. It was supposed to be patched, but it wasn't really. Not in today's standard weekend qualifier. https://twitter.com/fireshoes/status/1581384033648246784?t=LV9zktCmcs765PzNyTfVOA&s=19

58% in bo1 which is worse than usual for me, but up about 25k gems ignoring packs thanks to good runs in competitive events. I've only done 1 draft in the past month, just didn't find the format interesting and instead prepped for Standard and Historic to try and qualify for the Arena PT.
