I'm open palm slamming wildcards on Sheoldred/Lilillana/Raven Man. Discard got some new toys to offset losing Tergrid.

So is sealed like draft except instead of picking and passing packs it just throws a bunch of cards in your face? I have a bunch of gold saved up and was tempted to try it.

Friendly reminder to purge your Standard BO1 sideboard of lesson cards. I've been trying to figure out why all the decks I retooled weren't legal until I noticed it on the right.

An opponent pre-GG'd me after playing the guy who can turn enchantments into creatures. They animated their Temporary Lockdown like a complete dingus right into an Infernal Grasp. I got 6 creatures back on the board instantly and blocked the rest of his stuff down, they scooped immediately. Pride always comes before the fall.

Shrecknet posted:Zur gives the animated creatures hexproof though? How did this occur? My uncle who works at WotC let me bypass it. Actually I played a meathook, not a Grasp. I wrote my dumb and totally believeable story wrong, my memory is bad. I grasped the backup Zur my opponent played.

Shrecknet posted:So it is very enjoyable watching everyone who talked about it in preview season eat absolute poo poo as Sheoldred appears to actually be the nut. I got super lucky and picked up 3 Sheoldreds on day 1 thanks to packs and the renewal egg and then slammed down a wildcard for #4. I have a gut feeling Sheoldred is going to eat a ban in the future. I've been playing Golgari with her just to slam down a Tamiyo's when my opponent desperately tries to remove her. She single-handedly shuts down Connive decks and the Celestus just by existing, it's nuts.

I have ended so many creatures because nobody reads the text on Battlefly Swarm. That 1mana deathtouch gets them every single time. This was a good trade for shambling ghast.

Got a pretty good setup, went 3-0 in the midweek madness. All 3 games ended with me double-kicking Archangel to get the last 6 damage I needed to win.

Simply Simon posted:How in any universe did you not play Missionaries, Stall for Time, and Phalanx, all on color and fully kickable?!! You played Sleeper over Missionary? I am notoriously bad at all things draft and assessing what is and isn't good. I also tend to overvalue removal/evasion, but I went with my gut and it got me W's.

The shuffler will do everything in its power to make your opponent win. Acceptance is often the hardest part.

Sheoldred, much like Fable, is one of those cards that has so much value it's never out of place in any deck. If the opponent doesn't answer it immediately you'll run away with the game, it exists to bait removal/counterspells.

So guess what I learned today. The discounted mana cost on Vanquish the Horde only applies when it's in your hand. How did I find out exactly? By pulling it with Sorin at exactly 8HP in a game I was very much about to win.

palamedes posted:I'm having fun in Artisan and winning more than I'm losing with this pile. I saw Anvil was an uncommon and I wanted to do some Big Spender/Xander's Wake things and the rest seemed natural. All the one-ofs are me playing around with it, tweaking it from game to game as I see cool cards or recurring problems. I tinkered with this but the instant Big Spender came down it ate immediate removal so I tweaked the deck a bit. I removed the Night Clubber and Spenders, swapped for Unlucky Witness, then added 2 Duress to gently caress with their hand a bit. Once the Anvils were triggering Xander's every single turn my opponents started scooping from frustration.

Hooplah posted:goddamn it is tough out there in standard for a f2p'er. i'm so far from having the wcs for anything real in standard, but it feels like i'm the only one out here not playing a decklist copied from mtggoldfish and i'm being destroyed for it. it feels like i'm not allowed to have fun in standard until i build up a big enough pool of cards that i can just craft a full competent deck. how do you guys deal with this rat race? it's so overwhelming to think of the meta shifting and having to do it all over again When in doubt, monored! Fill your deck with cheap hasty jerks and burn spells that let you target the face (play with fire, lightning strike). Alternatively, save up 5k and do quick drafts until you have the crap you want. You'll get a bunch of cards and if you're winning you'll score some gems for the trouble. Horace Kinch fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Sep 14, 2022 |

So which one of you do I give my account info to so I can actually win drafts? Because I have no idea what's a good pick in Dom U and I just went 0-3, all 3 matches were against Boros Enlist gimmicks. Didn't keep a log of my current set but trust me it was clearly poo poo.

Chamale posted:Other, totally unrelated question: Anyone know whether it's better to play Restoration of Eiganjo or Wedding Invitation on turn 3? I have 4 of each, I'll play the Restoration if I need the fourth land next turn, but in some situations it's really not obvious which is better. I usually go Invitation first unless I really need to get slightly ahead on mana or I chumped with a Spirited Companion/Ambitious Farmhand.

Similar to how Snakeskin Veil was mandatory in all my green decks (now replaced with Tamiyo's Safekeeping) I always always always keep Wandering Emperor on hand when I have white in my deck. She's just too good not to have.

I've won with Raven Man plenty, the trick is to do everything in your power to keep Jodah, specifically, off the board and then discard like a madman. If you have to multi-block him do it, almost all of his lands enter tapped and each time they replay him it costs 2 more mana.

Whooping Crabs posted:You need a big brain to play it, and it gets annihilated vs. aggro. It's one of the most popular decks at the moment. CGB ran it but he definitely wasn't the first. I tried it verbatim and hated it. I ditched a few spells and added some Delvers and Terrors, now it feels much better. So far my only L's have been to Ivy+Virtuoso, but I blame that more on being on the draw and the shuffler not hooking me up with appropriate counterspells/bounces.

I am dogshit at drafting but I can proudly say I went 6-3 my last MID draft. My losses were all to Dimir Disturb. Disturb creatures let you outlast removal and most of them have flying, it's baller in limited.
