bamhand posted:So my favorite decks are gimmicky ones with graveyard recursion like Scream, Kalis, and Xenan Killer. Any other decks that do something besides play creatures/weapons until your opponent runs out of answers? This STFJ deck has been an absolute blast to play off-and-on for the last month.

Meridian posted:Is it just me or is it possible to do way better in draft in this game even with what feels like relatively bad picks compared to hearthstone? I drafted a time/justice combo that honestly wasn't that great at all. Curved decently, but I took it 6-3 and I've only been playing the game for a few days. In Hearthstone it's not uncommon for me to get rolled every game when I do an arena run. Don't get too refreshed. I might just suck, but after BREADing my way through the first few drafts to 5-7 wins, I ranked up and hit a wall where players actually know what they're doing and mediocre drafts started getting me mediocre results. On a side note, I really want to like this game, but even for a CCG, the rarity = power gradient is a little absurd. 4 mana = 5/6 with 2 abilities? Really?

Patch is tomorrow. Three new cards, including the one I mentioned earlier, unless LSV was loving with his stream (very possible) Also, new Redraw system quote:The initial draw will no longer feature hands with no power cards, nor with all power cards. Source

There's a Praxis, Hooru and Xenan dude coming, not sure what their actual card text is though. It's kind of disappointing since there's decks for those combos that already kind of work, I want to see if we can get something for Argenport or Skycrag.

I do like that you can't mulligan into a DOA hand, but what's the logic for not just applying that to the first hand too? I mean, is it really important to preserve the 'variety' of having 1 or all-but-1 mana opening hands, which are almost always going to be an auto-mulligan anyways?

The hardest hands to decide on are the mediocre hands with functional mana, because you know that if you click that mulligan button you could end up with, like, two power of one colour and just not get to play anything at all that game. I guess they don't want to do the "mulligan as much as you want but you get one fewer card every time" to help distinguish it from MTG, but it really does do wonders as far as letting both players actually play most of the time. It's a lot easier to take that first mulligan when you know that, even if you get a completely unplayable hand, you can just mulligan again - you'll be at a disadvantage, but you'll still get to play.

A mull to 5 reduces your win percentage by half so no, I'd rather have two shots at a playable seven than to Paris myself into oblivion.

No Wave posted:Paris mulligan is far worse win odds than a fixed mulligan into 2-4 mana. Actual win odds don't matter as much as player perception does. It's far less frustrating to start down 2 cards and eventually lose to being 1-for-1d by your opponent a bunch than it is to literally not be able to play a card because your mulligan gave you power of one colour and spells of another. You could even do a first-mulligan-is-free thing (or even crib more from magic and do a free scry) if you felt that immediately being down a card was too penalizing.

I don't think power issues are at all the problem with the game right now. The most pressing issue is that they need to release another set, but the way they devs are behaving it doesn't seem like it's going to happen until fall, which is way too late and the game will be completely dead by then. Until then, more strange half-assed non-interviews with retired magic the gathering players while somebody with the screen name scarlatch hints about the really exciting card they'll be releasing a month from now that won't go into any competitive decks.

These promo cards are pretty bad, Azindel's hella fiddly for a benefit he can't really cash in on yet and the Hooru guy synergises with weapons, exactly what you go green or blue for. Praxis robot is fine I guess. Ask me again when the new set comes out or someone invents a solid 3 color aggro deck.

I had my most ridiculous win yet. I have the Flying Stranger (3/3), one of the req. Strangers (2/2), and a random 4-mana creature. I'm at ~5 life (and dead on board next turn), and my opponent is at 18. I cast Unstable Mutation on the 4-mana creature twice, in case there's a 6-mana, flying, 13-attack creature I don't know about. I get the 6-mana Double Damage Stranger (4/4), which gives me 18 damage and the win.

How many copies of the promo cards can you get? Does it cap out at 4? Or can you dust them and keep getting more?

Ran an Icaria blue list up to diamond 1 until I ended up falling back down to diamond 3 once everyone started switching to different aggro decks or playing xenan obelisks. Thinking I should just switch decks as long as the meta stays this way but I don't really know what. Any recommendations?

This deck hasn't been giving me stellar results, but boy is it fun when it goes off. You can swing a lot of games quickly with a single Beastcaller trigger, but why stop at just one? I think I need to find a spot for another Crystalize though, card is so clutch in some matchups.

As a suggestion, if you deal face damage with Overwhelm, it triggers infiltrates, so try out that synergy.
