I wish getting to Gold were just a little bit harder because it seems impossible to climb after that, but it's dead easy until then. No surprise some people prefer Bo1 since at least you can feel like you're making better progress even if you really aren't.

Getting to gold is an actual freebie, climbing after that requires you to be winning more than you lose (over a short period). If you're not actually better than the other players in your rank, you'll struggle to climb, and that's by design.

Any help with this draft? There are a couple cards that are probably easy cuts.

Could certainly cut the artifact knights, and you probably don't need three Outflanks. Giant's Skewer seems unnecessary with no payoff for food.

It's to your benefit to have as much information as possible before you make a decision. The right time to play your free OUaT is: - on a turn where you have no play, but there are cards in your deck that you would want to pick and play this turn - immediately before you play your first spell This gives you as much information as possible when you decide what card you want.

ie, play it on turn 1 to find your goose after you see if you draw a goose.

I'm still torn on what to put together for the event this weekend. Simic with Oko/Wolf/Krasis/Goose seems really gross, but I also get the feeling it's going to be played a lot and people will have figured out a way to beat it by then (or they already have and are just holding back so as not to decrease their chances of a 12 win streak).

I answer every post game poll with  because I don't like being polled or having to click through the win/loss screen. This is objectively correct. Prove me wrong.

FWIW old mate played Manse Dance Revolution specifically because they thought food decks would be prominent and he won fandom legends. Not sure the meta is still the same. The food package is still top tier.

That Gruul Adventure deck is fun as hell, sure sometimes it falls apart entirely but when it goes off it's like driving a machine gun over the board

You want as much information as possible for both what you have and your opponent has. The correct time to cast it is literally right before you cast your first spell, unless you desperately need a goose or something

I didn't find (non-dreadhorde) explore at all miserable to play against. I haven't found any decks especially miserable to play against yet this standard (compared to Esper or Jeskai or mono blue or whatever). Golos fields decks' strength is a little alarming and the lack of cards that interact with field is annoying but it's not really a tilting deck, its just one I end up losing to. Giant value bant decks with Oko Teferi Nissa Krasis can be annoying tho because it can just feel like you were unavoidably 2 for 1'd by pushed cards with a massive tempo advantage all game. We'll see if they take off. No Wave fucked around with this message at 14:32 on Oct 4, 2019 |

Turns out it's pretty miserable to play against a good mono-B deck in draft.

Dumb question: when I'm in the deckbuilder view where all the cards are laid out in CMC order, is there a way to add a copy of a card by clicking on it? I know that clicking on a card reduces its number, but I was wondering if there was a key to hold down or something to add a copy. Or do I have to search for it above and click on that to add a copy.

Another dumb question: Evolution Sage states that it proliferates "whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control". So if I simply play a land from my hand, it does not proliferate, correct? A land has to actually enter the battlefield, as with Nissa's ability?

No, barring a couple weird exceptions, anything that changes zones "to the battlefield" triggers entering the battlefield.

So it proliferates when you play it, and when nissa transforms it it does not trigger as it's already on the battlefield it's just not a creature.

When you play a land from your hand, it will enter the battlefield and you will be controlling it. "enter the battlefield" happens whenever anything goes from anywhere that isn't the battlefield (like your hand or library) to the battlefield by any means whatsoever.

Proliferate only affects things that already have counters. (beaten) Its a pretty wacky mechanic.

Shitshow posted:Ooooh. I thought that proliferating the first time would place a +1/+1 counter on the card, even if it did not already have one. Evolution Sage + Pollenbright Druids + Nissa + Growth Chamber Guardian is basically the starter pack for a proliferate deck. Incubation Druid is good ramp for that, since it can also adapt. It's nowhere near as strong without explore, since that mechanic is gone with the Ixalan block (I think), but anything else that's counter heavy (Hydroid Krasis, Voracious Hydra) would also work well. Also keep in mind that proliferate affects everything with counters, including planeswalkers. Other good additions would be things like Pelt Collector that get counters from other actions. I wouldn't suggest it as a competitive deck for this weekend, but it's still a fun mechanic that allows you to ramp up some truly huge creatures.

salt shakeup posted:Manse Dance Revolution Whoop, I've got a new name for that deck when I build it proper. I'm sad that the last traditional draft I did had a Dance of the Manse in pack 3. It was not my color and I already had 5 Rimrock Knights so I went for a 6th thinkin' I'd be unstoppable. Then I went 0/2.
