Well, 1-3 with what I thought was a decent UW. 1-3 with a pretty decent seeming Mardu deck. 6-3 with what I was convinced was an awful GB. Had a couple reanimation things, 2 deathtouch mana dorks, and then just held off people until I could replay fatties.

Living the dream in Rakdos with Garna and Lagomos and a vivisectionist on board at the same time. It didn't take long for every turn scry/draw to just pile up too much value.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:The hope is that I hit something with 61% to draw in the next two turns and curve out? Generally, I'd say it depends on what interaction you have in hand and how many 2 drops in your deck. Your opponent there could curve out with weenies and kill you before you do anything. You're relying solely on what you draw to stop it. If Destroy Evil wasn't conditional, or you had some sort of card draw or something, I'd feel a lot better about it. I'd ship it back. Take it with a grain of salt though, I'm not very good at this.

I literally just show up to post my wins. That's why I don't post often. 7-1 with this one: Topically, the defiler was great. Mostly, as a 4/4 first strike, but the pings were not entirely irrelevant. Paragon is just a bomb. Feels like the game just ended every time she came down. I did get to live the dream and skycleave pony someone to death.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Event #18 I just had Tori in a deck. My biggest problem with her was I really wanted her to have Haste or something. It's mostly that Tori has to sit there a whole turn before doing anything. I didn't think she was bad, per se, it just feels like you want her to alpha strike, giving dudes trample and vigilante to save the possible crackback, and it's hard to just have that on the board waiting for a bit first.

Well, played and lost my first game against Nummy. Curved out real nicely and took him to 6, then flooded like Nile and he hit a trick to stabilize. Still it's neat to run into prominent players.

Lost two long games with the Swamp King, swapped two Jodah and won two pretty quick. May play in the morning for the cosmetic. One dude got down Cemetery Desecrator with Argosy and I thought he was just going to eat my board over the next couple of turns, and he just didn't. He badly misread something, because he kept crewing with a bird or lantern bearer instead of Desecrator or Aether Channeler. Mysterious.

Murmur Twin posted:I didn't like the original build of this deck because it felt unfocused, so I made the second version of the deck to work less on the domain stuff and more on the graveyard stuff. The second deck was good enough to win, but definitely not top tier. Thanks for the update. this looks fun

4th or maybe 5th time's a charm. First pack was all over the place, I could probably have reasonably done any combo of RGB, but clearly BU draw two was the way to go. Wheeled Stern Lesson somehow in P1, and opened Gixian Puppeteers P2. Wheeled an Evangel too. On the whole, I found this one to be a lot of fun. Never got blown out with Precursor Golem, and there were a few times just dropping 9 power on the board saved my bacon. No regrets there, even though I didn't have much to take advantage of it. Won out from 2-2, so felt really good about myself. Helm of the Host sucks. Especially on that Simian counter dude.

Lone Goat posted:Ok you pretty much said it, but also: when the draft gifts you four Corrupts, you do your hardest to make your deck mono black; and if you're playing UB draw 2, take Moment of Defiance it's a load-bearing player in that deck. I'd add that Stern Lesson is too, it lets you activate draw 2 on their turn.

Well, living the dream. Finally managed to pop a Helm of Hosts on a Boulderbranch Golem and make the Boros aggro deck cry. It's was the 3/3 golem, but still. Even better was when they prison sentenced it.

Even better was when they prison sentenced it. Final tally 6-3 with this pile. Lots of helm hijinks. Last game, I made the play I had been leery about all game, and helmed up my precursor golem. 9 power, every turn is so tempting, even if 6 is unhasted. Then was sibling rivalry snagging 5-6 golems. Ah well, it was fun. It wasn't good, but probably the most memorable draft I've had in ages.

Well, thought I was wrapped up drafting, but waltzed into a 7-2 with a good BW. I've not lost a game where Kaya hit the board. I've a poorer rate trophying this set, but a much lower brick rate, hitting more 3-4-5 win decks, which keeps me drafting longer than usual.

I'm almost to gold and feel like while I'm an ok player, part of this is dumb luck of winning twice in a row where an opponent stalls out or the matchup is bad. Plat. Up until gold you get two pips for a win, but only lose one in a loss. Plat and up it's 1 and 1.
