Need a little sealed help.





What should I cut? I feel Grixis is the proper action. I wanted to use white for Serra Paragon, but there's not enough in white to justify it. Jund is an option as it has way more fixing but I feel like something is missing. Thoughts?

Need a bit of sealed help here. Here's a pic of my pool:



Link to the deck text


Blue is absolutely the star color of this. 4 Soaring drakes, Haughty Djinn, Deflier, two Tolarian Terrors and a couple of counters. Black is weak, so is white and green, but red also has solid use. Biggest problem is I got some bombs such as Shanna and Nemata but they dip into the weaker colors and no mana fixing. Sadly I can only choose one. What would be the best color for this pool?

https://sealeddeck.tech/521Vyra5dj URb is the obvious build to me, it's very synergistic for a sealed deck.
https://sealeddeck.tech/Ufj8TTL37O This is the fun grindy 5c build. 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.

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.

I went 0-3 with the URb build. Not blaming you, but I honestly think the way the deck draws in limited really does want me to kill myself.

I am tired of DMU drafts. I can't get past 4 wins. Trying out one more sealed run.

https://sealeddeck.tech/GyS4y89ULo

Any ideas? It's red and something. White's too weak. Blue looks strong with Djinn and the bounce spells. Black weak but there's liliana, and green has some muscle. Either Izzet or Gruul.

Not sure how to deal with this pool. Everything feels so spread out and thin but no true bombs. My dumbass brain says 5 colors but I doubt that. I wouldn't mind splashing black only for the Urgborg Repossession and the Phyrexian Missionary if I use white. Green feels like the backbone with the rares and the power but even then it's still weak. Red has removal but that's it.

This is definitely the worst sealed pool I popped open for DMU.

https://sealeddeck.tech/eBpEcHLOVf

Bant would be the right choice if my mana fixing wasn't dogshit. Only thing I have going for me are the two tablets. Red and Black are pretty drat weak, too.

I'd be legit pissed off if I opened this at prerelease. :sigh:

Reposting this just for some cuts ideas. gently caress it I'm going Bant



Need 8 cuts. Only fixing I have is Loamwever, Vinewall, and the tablets. Don't care.

Just....wanna throw something at a wall and see if it sticks.

Huh. Went 7-2 with this lovely deck I figured would get two, maybe three wins.

I know 42 is a lovely idea, but I could figure out what to cut, plus I had a game where I won because of the extra fat

Went 7-1 in sealed with this. Build help thanks to the Wrestlehut discord.



Deck ran smooth as hell. Only loss was from a dude running a couple Negates and have a handful of big chunky creatures that kept on coming. Otherwise, I always had the upper hand.

I wish Sealed stayed for the whole time. Not sure why it's not all the time.

Giving Arena Open one shot because what the hell. Here's my pool.

https://sealeddeck.tech/sTIuT1ofWu

While W/U looks the eastiest build, I am considering Bant to work in Tatyova, Vineshaper, 1-2 senties, and maybe the Baloth and Bite Down. I got some fixing such as the robot and Relic of Legends (got 3 legendaries to ramp with). Got bombs with Defiler of Faith and Sphinx. You think it's worth it to add Green?

Trying to work on my drafting game. I feel like I did okay this time.

My draft: https://www.17lands.com/draft/ab41d726468847ff8aa9c86a54d6e536

My pool: https://sealeddeck.tech/S2BJBh2DJi

A little annoyed I bypassed dual lands but I felt like there were better option at the time. Should I just go Rakdos or splash in white for Leyblne Binding? Not much else in white to add for it.

Hey I want some critiques on my drafting. I feel it's a weak aspect that I want to improve on.

https://www.17lands.com/draft/a9757f2dab1d439bbef45ce9637f1d9c

Here's my thought process.

Pack 1: Starting rare was no value but the PoB seem the most useful. Decided in the Mario just in case it shifted to Domain. Seed it just nice ramping and also helps Domain. Outrider works with or without domain fine. Picked up a dual land here. LS was the best choice. Picked a gruul land and continued on with what I felt was the most value.

Pack 2: BIG CHUNKY DEFLIER! Picked up the Rootwalla as my 2-drops were low. I did NOT like having to choose between Tatyova for the Greenwidow, but I felt the Greenwidow has just a bit more staying power with its domain ability. Another defiler but it's mostly a 4/4 first strike. Chose Tear Asunder and Repossession as splashing black can help greatly. Got a couple more dual lands.

Pack 3: Loamspeaker a solid two drop and weaponizes lands if needed! Squee fits into Gruul colors nicely. Another maro. Removal. Was making sure I got enough dual lands to empower Domain cards. A third outrider and Maro are just gravy.

Overall pool: https://sealeddeck.tech/Hrfam99bqK

Obviously it's Gruul with Domain as the gimmick. Will use the PoB but most likely not the Arrests. Maybe use one Swamp along with the B/G lands to kick Tear Asunder and use the Repossession.

Did I do alight?

Edit: I might try with this.



Another edit: Went 7-2! First lost was mana screw, the other was because the opponent went super wide with weenies. First 7 win in DMU finally!

This sealed pool confounds me: https://sealeddeck.tech/SbLs4INQpy

White and blue are okay. Black has both Gix and Gix's command but it's quite weak in the other parts (not including thrashers in this being colorless and all). Red is meh, so is green. I got good retro artifacts in Swiftfoot Boots and Quicksilver Amulet but not sure what I can come up with without having an awful curve. Any suggestions?

Not sure what to do in sealed. Went 0-3 on my first one and it looked decent.

Not sure what to do with this one: https://sealeddeck.tech/6auFE6MPxf

Black looks solid with removals, red has some too. Not sure if I have enough to win games though. I've been taking a MTG break since BRO started so I am slightly rusty.

I haven't played a lot of MTG during Phyrexia, so I've been a bit rusty.

What should my sealed deck be? White is strong but other color seem not that great. Brain is thinking White/Blue.

Feel like I am a bit of a bind here.

Here's my sealed pool: https://sealeddeck.tech/kbEzmMtKSP

And I feel like W/U with a splash of red for the rares can help.



That curve is dogshit. Should I dip more into the red or just make the cuts and get my rear end kicked?

What cuts should I do? Just a not that a cot of the combat tricks are in there seeing as I have Season of Growth on me but I can easily see them cut.

Most promising looks like Rakdos. So far I got this.



Need 8 cuts. How reliable is Ray of Ruin? Is it too expensive for this? Boulder is the same way, though I can cycle it.
