They don't give you an option to filter for Eldraine cards yet in the deckbuilder, and I'm too lazy to look up what I got from the previous event.

Overall I'm gonna try to finally make a Selesnya Tolsimir Wolves deck but I'm hoping for another few pieces in Eldraine

Not sure what deck this can belong to in standard.

What are the 2020 replacements for:

Cast Down

Vraska's Contempt

i.e. I want B spot removal options, including the possibility of gaining life and/or hitting walkers

I made the cavalcade deck, it doesn't work more than it works, but somehow every single opponent gets the nut against me, I've never seen it. I've seen LOOOOOOTS of turn 4 7/7 lifelinkers and very few cavalcades. This event just hates me, its all luck and I'm out of it.

I made temur elementals and pretty much everything is cavalcade or lifelink that goes off before I can do anything or some sort of grindy control that just kills all my poo poo and pulls apart my hand before I can get anything going

Anyone know how to calculate how much more of this event you need to play to reach 100 before rotation? I'm at 85, no extra quests, 15 wins for the week are done.

I threw my Azorius Teferi deck against this event - the one that has no real win condition besides "People scoop against Teferi" and "Hitting face with a zombie token, I guess" - and encountered no Cavalcades, just strange jank.

There's 15-18 levels remaining. 16 days, so 8 from dailies, 7.5 from two weeklies, then maybe two from events if thats a thing.

I think that's right?

Go to the Set Mastery page, click on level 100 and it will tell you how many XP it will take to get you there.

With 16 days left you'll get 8000 XP from dailies and 7500 XP from two more weeks of 15 wins.

Hmm I have 6 wins already this week and one quest on the docket with 16000 XP to full mastery lol

I was thinking "this event will help me" but it's only 200 XP, I guess it's repeatable so they want us to grind it?

With my luck I will get approximately 40+ 1-1 events

Edit: :woop: opponent 2 mulled to five then scooped, I'll take what I can get gimme that XP

like flicking your cards in paper.
Should do my best to chill on that then.

I don’t know about cast down but the knight replaces Vraska and disfigure is probably just straight up better than craving.

I dunno why they show you what your opponent is looking at anyway, doesn't seem to add much either way.

Nothing really replaces Cast Down but yeah, Disfigure, Sorin's Thirst, Legion's End, Bedeck, Murder, Witch's Vengeance and Swift End give you a pretty solid package to choose from.

Oh, and maybe Price of Fame is good if there's a lot of good legends.

So you can bluff that you have an answer, e.g., a counter, that you chose not to use.

Is there a decent strat to climbing out of the gold dumpster in bo3? I've been on vacation this month so I'm way behind. I seem to enjoy climbing in plat and diamond a lot more once I'm actually there

It's such a knife fight in there I can't seem to find anything super consistent. In similar situations in HS I'd just smash some linear aggro deck, but those seem so easy to hate out in bo3, especially if you play something obvious like vamps

I just played against the weirdest Agent of Treachery control deck. Either cheating the AoT into play by discarding and blood for bones, and then using various bounce effects to just keep stealing all my lands. It was pretty hilarious to watch

I have no idea how to sideboard which is why I've stayed away from Bo3 formats. I'm also a bit worried that the time commitment may be too much.

Are there any good guides about how to sideboard?
