Mr. Meagles posted:Should you be able to use Cut Down on a creature that's been dealt combat damage, thus reducing it's P/T to less than 5? damage does not reduce base stats it is a state based check against toughness, cut down checks base stats (which are affected by -1/-1 counters) some judge will correct the accuracy of this

aight i finally signed up for 17lands and what better way to demonstrate its usefulness than a 1-3 draft https://www.17lands.com/draft/18fb323b8a9e4c559aaa5a180c5e576e draft https://www.17lands.com/deck/18fb323b8a9e4c559aaa5a180c5e576e/0 deck 1 (after two awful games) https://www.17lands.com/deck/18fb323b8a9e4c559aaa5a180c5e576e/1 deck 2 I felt I had a good basis for what was available, but maybe my picks weren't optimal (passing the red rare saga felt like a huge mistake among many). I definitely know my 1st deck was at, most generously, ambituous. 2nd deck actually executed the instant/sorcery plan pretty well, but then I threw my 4th game with a bad attack where I did not count a token stack. Anyway, rip into me. I did not read anything about this format. This is my 5th draft in this set cause I f2p. Share Bear fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Sep 26, 2022 |

again i just wanna say thank you for looking at the poo poo i did, so getting into it:GreyjoyBastard posted:p1p1: urborg lhurgoyf is better than you think it is; if you're GB or GU it's a perfectly serviceable thing to have in your opening hand, and it's fantastic if drawn later it seemed really specific and not like p1p1 so i skipped it, ill take this into consideration quote:p1p4: if you're thinking of going UW, surely Raff is a better choice than arrest, including for flexibility; arrest is great if you happen to fall into primary white though i psyched myself out on this, as i saw it as too narrow despite what i was intending. i would have loved this card in my final first deck and blast is way worse than i thought in this context, yes quote:p1p8: since you ignored all the good green cards and automatic librarian is kinda okay, probably pick librarian a thing where i wasnt sure how good green was so i should prep more quote:p1p10: it's eerie soultender and it's not close, soultender is great and it's even better in UB absolutely every deck that beat me used this, its v good quote:p2p4: why are you picking a mediocre red card here when you have no red cards, it's a bad pack but surely if you're hoping for domain you take gaea's might, or maybe you take acolyte if you feel spicy i thought with an instant/sorc deck that having instant speed card selection (tied to a creature) would be decent some of the time, and didnt think i could get more value out of the other cards at the point in this draft. given my end result acolyte or timely might have been better. for p2p5 i missed it quote:p2p10: not just an R spell, but an RB spell. no, literally anything else in that pack is better at this point based on this critique green was open but i wasnt sure what indicates green is open, so i missed this ahead of time, its good to know quote:p3p2: I dislike crystal grotto but this is a very weak pack for you. I'd probably take drake, flying seems powerful in this format. this is the 2nd time you said this, so i'm thinking back to when people taught me drafts and generally, in my first lessons. people preferred unique cards, this may not be true for modern sets and is a bad habit for me quote:
yep, it wasn't strong but based on the success of domain decks i thought i could bullshit with my manabase more, and i shouldve stuck it out edit: i also read your entire post but doing piecemeal editing is hard, thank you again thank you very much, should you have a kofi or something lmk Share Bear fucked around with this message at 07:58 on Sep 26, 2022 |

my main takeaways are: - use the obvious signpost gold card in your colors - figure out better signals for open colors that arent the best or your base colors up until that point - smaller manabase (i feel this is a huge failure on my part) - i think phasing of zhalfir is bad and i am right generally

heres my first big failure of the draft season 1-3 with RB https://www.17lands.com/details/44b0bf91ab694efa8008542ed1ad3a40 things i know are wrong - splash was greedy - game 1 discard two decent cards to just give the mythic indestrucible was awful. the better line was pressing w my offense, waiting, and letting the mythic die if targeted things that did happen i couldve maybe mulliganned better against - flood in 2nd and 3rd loss, both on draw things im not sure about i felt like the red mythic plus removal/direct damage and toxic was a decent strat, but all the opps decks felt more cohesive and drew better answers, felt like i wasnt really playing magic in 2nd and 3rd loss i do not listen to podcasts or read articles about limited format theorycrafting, and am generally happy with 3-3s for converting gold back into gems and packs. the big losses are what i post about.

i just 1-3d two drafts in a row and am very tilted. here's what i know about both drafts: - i had very little standalone removal - i had very few late game bombs or things that could overrun another opponent - i could have mulliganed better in specifically loss 5 draft one, where i thought i had something decent based on incoming cards, pack 2 was abysmal the most recent loss is here, with UR artifact stuff i feel like i couldve maybe gone into black or white instead of red i would like to provide better commentary on my thought process here besides "lets try to force ur artifact/oil matters" but thats what i went with more than anything else, rather than a pick by pick breakdown, i want to know how other posters seemingly know really well how to pick cards and pick up on whatevers is missing without drafting a format at least 20 times if its just "i draft the format a million times" i'm ok with that, but i feel like i am missing something in how people evaluate formats and drafts in general double edit: if my pack 1 passes had a better strat i'm also ok with knowing that. i should read people posting draft related content but i dont really do, and i hate podcasts.

thank you for the kind and detailed replies, i read all of them and will take all the advice into account. i did not notice 17lands had draft percentages per card and will take that into account as well. i also open tilted a 3rd draft but did not sit at a table yet. as for arena into edict, i do not know what colors are “bad” yet but felt that, with no other knowledge or input on the format, arena being passed meant black was potentially open from that direction. the edict does function as some removal which i figured i would need. i then gave up on this line of thought and did not commit (i believe i skipped an archfiend of the dross) in context of the other replies i understand the “baffling” aspect to this, but i did not know what i did not know.

ok first one back, another 1-3 i had 17lands open for this point, and went with a stricter criteria: - dont deviate from themes you know work if you get cards for them (g/x toxic) - stay away from u or b if i can ending up in green white toxic. draft felt good, but i lost out and am not sure what i hosed up besides specific misplays in game 3. if there was a sufficient signal to switch away from g/w (to maybe g/r?) i missed it. https://www.17lands.com/draft/2ea50a01acfe49fab736513529e10076 game 1: got run over game 2 (typically where i get a win prob due to mmr): won with basic creature combat and curving out effectively on the play game 3: tyvar messed up my gameplan, as i felt it was better to get him off the board while i could versus dealing more poison. this cost me the game, as i had an all in attack on my final turn that would've won me the game had i better ignored him. regrets, on me. game 4: this one was a bit confusing but basically lost to not having effective removal for my oppos threats while they answered my 2ish threats well. probably a mulligan in retrospect, but i had turn 1/2/3 plays that all seemed sane so i kept my 7, i don't feel i could've mulled to a better 6. currently 6-18 on the current bo1, which is again all on me, but demotivating Share Bear fucked around with this message at 04:53 on Mar 5, 2023 |

in more positive light, went 5-3 with rw equipment and was decent while the gold standard is 7-xing in bo1, i am generally happy to go better than 3-x based on coin flip/game econ breakeven equity alone, so this is a nice improvement, the games actually felt like games of magic https://www.17lands.com/draft/6ff70dedba6b47c89f1f6b6607220cec for the curious still gotta "catch up" to 50% sometime, that'll be when i next have 10k gold sometime this week Share Bear fucked around with this message at 06:56 on Mar 5, 2023 |

ok i saved up my gold and went 2-3 with this most recent draft https://www.17lands.com/draft/de8d472f9f8948db8fc5789187fe40f3 things i think were wrong: - couldve mulliganed harder in games 3 and 4, game 4 i was basically hoping to draw into a bomb - p2p1 never saw the mythic and it seemed decent with the mite equip so i took it as a 4mana 4/4 at worst - p2p5 i wanted to try out prism as fixing as it seemed decent for that, but i disregarded hand smoothing in this choice and wouldve chose the basilisk here instead - p3p1 saw tyvar and picked it up cause i thought i could splash w prism but i shouldnt do that, so its my rare draft sin every game felt fair but that i drew worse than my op, and that's the nature of the beast. would love to be told what i messed up, but this one felt decent. i won 50% of the games i cast emperor, so my deck probably wasnt good. i rarely feel like it is my playing decisions but more or less my deck being bad or not cooperating. game 1 i flooded out extremely hard.

Venuz Patrol posted:looks like you flinched in pack 3 and started drifting into artifacts. I would have skipped the skullbombs, mandible justiciar, and prosthetic injector and gone for the incubation sacs instead. they might not match the toxic theme but 3 3/3 bodies is never going to be bad for you i did think on the seedcore tradeoff and was more focused on the 1/1 buff than the phyrexian mana fixing but yes that wouldve made sense, the green skullbomb felt more active as a creature buff or redraw i'm not sure when one should pick fixing, the redraws with abilities felt better but again ill take any advice into account

all right 1-3 on first blind draft so i'm going to post this and i am going to read comments as always and i appreciate it. i have played limited and magic for a long time however i feel like i'm just an worse than average player. i weirdly feel like all my opponents had much better ideas for their decks and if i dont prepare beforehand besides the archetype blurb on wizards site i might as well not bother https://www.17lands.com/draft/c3247ab3a10840288177f24d0f1ce174 things i should have done draftwise on review (anytime i dont comment i had no logic besides it seeming like it'd fit the deck or curve) - p1p1: i would have rare drafted had i thought i'd blow it badly, but i felt the 3/3 for 3 with etb synergies was good and castable, i feel like battles are win moreish but am willing to be wrong (all games i lost were to battles mostly) - p1p2 none of the other cards felt like too extraordinary so i went with removal. obosh is fun but i didnt want to 2nd pick a 5 drop in a new format - p1p3 tiller of flash was probably the pick given my deck but i wasnt sure where i wanted to be so i went with fixing battle - p1p6 had no idea here, went with what i thought was decent fixing were i to be rw - p1p11 shoudlve def taken tiller of flesh here given where my deck was - p3p2 wasnt sure how strong atraxa's fall would be but i wouldve prefered this in retrospect gameplay wise i do feel i played to the best of my ability and hands and was only greedy in the g4 keep w/o green mana

first 7-x in a long rear end time, with BGw incubate https://www.17lands.com/deck/0381a5a51fae43d7b51621b8b67db1b4 Glissa won two games, but the rest was everything working together pretty cohesively, incl 6 mana invasion being a decent late game board stall breaker I splashed the Sculpted Perfection cause I felt like I could afford the splash with the 2 late splash tokens cards Or maybe I just got lucky 7/9 times, who knows key points - overgrown pest is siiick - aetherblade agent is siiick (really any of the phyrexian transform cards seem decent based on all the games I play, opp side included) - draft glissa - draft sculpted perfection I weirdly never got to really use the Compleated Huntmaster except as a reach blocker as the other token generators/enchantments did that much more, really liked traumatic revelation war historian was the worst card as a grey ogre Share Bear fucked around with this message at 06:32 on Apr 25, 2023 |

after ONE and my first 1-3 i felt really stupid but now that i had something decent with close games that occasionally went to mutual top decks i am having more fun. funny how that works e: i never ran away with a game but more or less had better tempo and token generation when i won. i lost to aggro and the bad side of a topdeck war.

being taught how to play control is also instructive for playing against it from what i remember picking up from better people than me - never tap out - never 1 for 1 unless the threat is specifically gonna kill you within a turn or two - try to always do things at the last possible moment (generally good gameplay advice i think) - never play your wincon until you are very materially ahead of op - when countering spells, think of what else in your deck can deal with that threat and err towards better card advantageous answers or towards using worse counterspells first (costed < conditional < unconditional) - in control mirror never make a move first this generally depends on game texture/context as well
