Jabor posted:Take a good look at the highlighted card in your second screenshot. Yeah, he dumped Drak into the graveyard with Tomebound Lich's "Draw a card then Discard a card" or Rotting Reggie's "Discard a card". By the time you checked his graveyard, Bond of Revival had already brought it out of the graveyard and back to the battlefield. Drak is like the #1 card to reanimate from the graveyard for these decks, especially with the Haste, since his swing is 7 damage plus all those nasty effects (he can hit you for 7-11 damage and nuke 2-3 of your creatures in the first turn).

Steam Link is just so much better than Parsec. It's almost like playing a touchscreen PC or something.

I'm a demanding user and often play over data while on my commute, in those cases drops in bitrate and lapses in connection are handled more gracefully with Moonlight than Steam Link, but Moonlight like Geforce Now has no drag support.

Ladies and Gentle-goons I present to you a very fun Brawl deck Commander 1 Haktos the Unscarred (THB) 218 Deck 1 Boros Guildgate (GRN) 243 1 Sacred Foundry (GRN) 254 1 Temple of Triumph (M20) 257 1 Wind-Scarred Crag (ELD) 308 1 Justice Strike (GRN) 182 7 Mountain (ANA) 59 1 Castle Embereth (ELD) 239 1 Response // Resurgence (GRN) 229 1 Swiftblade Vindicator (GRN) 203 1 Deafening Clarion (GRN) 165 1 Anax, Hardened in the Forge (THB) 125 1 Tajic, Legion's Edge (GRN) 204 1 Skyknight Legionnaire (GRN) 198 1 Aurelia, Exemplar of Justice (GRN) 153 1 Fireborn Knight (ELD) 210 1 Heartwarming Redemption (WAR) 199 1 Outlaws' Merriment (ELD) 198 1 Solar Blaze (WAR) 216 1 Castle Ardenvale (ELD) 238 1 Fervent Champion (ELD) 124 1 Robber of the Rich (ELD) 138 1 Glint-Horn Buccaneer (M20) 141 1 Legion Warboss (GRN) 109 1 Phoenix of Ash (THB) 148 1 Cavalier of Flame (M20) 125 1 Purphoros's Intervention (THB) 151 1 Lava Coil (GRN) 108 1 Shock (M20) 160 1 Gideon Blackblade (WAR) 13 1 Prison Realm (WAR) 26 1 Gideon's Sacrifice (WAR) 14 1 Elspeth, Sun's Nemesis (THB) 14 1 Elspeth Conquers Death (THB) 13 1 Single Combat (WAR) 30 1 Chandra, Acolyte of Flame (M20) 126 1 Storm's Wrath (THB) 157 1 Chandra, Awakened Inferno (M20) 127 7 Plains (ANA) 56 1 Command Tower (ELD) 333 1 Blast Zone (WAR) 244 1 Fabled Passage (ELD) 244 1 Evolving Wilds (M20) 246 1 Arcane Signet (ELD) 331 1 Heliod, Sun-Crowned (THB) 18 1 Banishing Light (THB) 4 1 Altar of the Pantheon (THB) 231 1 Smothering Tithe (RNA) 22 If anyone has any suggestions for obvious inclusions I'm missing i'd love some input, but these games have been very fun to play and actually have some game against the bullshit twin-suns of "Mono-Removal Grixis" and "Golos". Iv'e had many games end to nearly instant concession to Haaktos, even if I'm very far behind. If the stars align and you can actually buff him with Gideon or Aurelia it gets very dumb quickly.

Sentinels Eyes world always work on him at 1cmc, giving him +1/+1 and leaving him always open as a nearly invincible blocker. You can easily get it back if it falls off. Flicker of Fate might be worth it as it can help him dodge removal 2/3rds of the time and reroll his protection. edit: Uncaged Fury would be great when it works. and EMBERCLEAVE is game over.

Oh yeah I'm thinking backwards. edit: Kenrith can always give him haste and trample so they can both tag-team, and can bring him back from the graveyard without paying the tax, if you're splashing black. Bond of Discipline clears all blockers and gives him Lifelink. Chance for Glory is a very good YOLO winmore card that matches the color.

Would the Triumph of Anax work on him? I'm not sure offhand. E: Smelt-Ward MInotaur might be useful; stops the occasional correctly-costed blocker from working. Maybe Feather to recur the spells that can target him this time out? E: Shatter the Sky seems like a good fit too. thespaceinvader fucked around with this message at 15:21 on Feb 5, 2020 |

Yup, Destroyed isn't in the list of protections, of course, he's usually protected from Destry effects by protection from targetting. I didn't have the keyword list up to check then. Maybe Purphuros, which I think works to give him Haste?

Zero VGS posted:Welp it was a tossup between Pharika's Spawn and Dreadful Apathy but I wound up doing Dreadful Apathy since I was too antsy for a reply. In hindsight it was maybe right call since no other black bombs showed up. I drafted the rest of the cards mixing my common sense along with that LSV limited review someone mentioned, and also referenced the 17lands.com Win Rates for cards to give me some hints. Yay, just won my first BO3 with that deck. Went 2-0 against a deck that had Pharika's Spawn both games; the only bomb I was offered that I passed on myself. Game 1 he played Pharika's and I did the legendary "Full Control, exile with Dreadful Apathy, Flicker to another creature" move. In response to my trying to exile his Pharika's Spawn, he sacced it to final flare instead. But once he was able to Escape it back out, it was too late. I had tokens to sac and block from Omen of the Sun, and I had both my Daybreak Chimeras out to outrace him. Game 2 I pulled two Dreadful Apathy and fished the 3rd with Heliod's Pilgrim. I had way too many weenies on the board and successfully exiled his Spawn this time and he had to scoop since he basically ran out of creatures.  edit: Finished with 4 wins but I couldn't handle the horseshit Mythics people had. One dude dropped Porophos or whatever and ate 5 of my creatures in one turn. I guess I can't be salty about it, I played my best and got like 1500 gems and 4 packs.

The current control deck finishes a lot faster than previous typical control decks, that's why it feels a lot nicer to play. I've stopped playing it only because the mirror is miserable however. Currently testing an Esper list instead.

Hello goons, I am still on my quest to draft improvement. I actually had two back to back 6-3 drafts playing WG with pretty strong decks that basically built themselves. For my current deck it seems like a much weaker pool. I rare drafted pack 1 and 3, I don't think I missed out on much in 3. I currently have this and need to make a couple more cuts. Is it even worth trying to splash for the Acolyte of Affliction with 1 traveler's amulet? Are there any glaringly obvious bad picks that I made outside of the rares? The draft

P1P7: I would have taken aspect of lamprey given your rise to glory P1P8: rage-scarred berserker is a fine card and red/white seems unlikely P1P9: Envoy seems nicer if you picked lamprey P7. Also generally. I've never seen hero of the winds do anythying. P1P10: Again I'd have picked any of the other non-blue cards here as better P1P11: Flicker is amazing P1P13: sword is better and can potentially make the cut to enable your black/white utility fluff to be more threatening. Even in your draft with all the flying heroes sword is a contender. P2P3: Very interesting. On the one hand you don't have escape yet, and favor is a fine card. In your build with the heroes you're also hurting for auras. I'd still probably have gone unicorn and hoped to pick up some eyes later P2P4: eidolon is way stronger in the deck you're heading towards imo P2P7: wut. The omen's right there! P2P9: either of the auras fits what you're doing way better (the heroes are good carriers, rise to glory) P2P12: I think people are drastically undervaluing wings of hubris. Flying wins limited games. P3P1: !@#!?? Tymaret! You're never splashing a GG card and you're already 2 packs deep. P3P2: Elspeth's nightmare is the pick here, especially since you didn't take as much aura synergy as I would have P3P6: OK, what. You have double apathy plus a grasp already and you're passing up on rise for glory? At this point I just started skimming frustratedly sorry

Looking for some advice on what to do with this: I started off in WR and picked up a couple of good cards in B along the way. Got Kroxa in pack 3 and grabbed some more. Not sure if I should leave white out or put it back in and just splash black or what. Didn't get any fixing unfortunately. Kind of annoyed at myself for not going RB sac right from the start which I did consider but hindsight, like the year, is 2020 Wafflecopper fucked around with this message at 14:43 on Feb 6, 2020 |

dantae posted:Hello goons, I am still on my quest to draft improvement. I actually had two back to back 6-3 drafts playing WG with pretty strong decks that basically built themselves. Agree with everything Osmosisch said but some extra stuff: P1P10: As Osmosisch said already, Hero of The Winds is pretty bad. You only have one card that triggers it, and in w/b, you're unlikely to get many more. So there's no value in a second hero. Maybe you end up playing one but the odds you want two are slim to none. So why not take the equipment here? You probably won't end up playing wings either, but it gives you more options, and it's better to pick a weak card with a unique effect rather than a weak card with an effect you already have and don't particularly want. This matters a lot less in bo1 but it's super important if you ever play with sideboards. P3P1: Gonna dust this one off again: little munchkin posted:This pick both fails at achieving your goal of winning games, and fails at achieving your other goal of filling your collection. This card does not and will not see constructed play, so there's no actual value in obtaining one. Picking something that actually improves your deck would do more for your collection, because it maximizes the chances of winning your entry fee back (which means more drafts and more chances to open actual good rares). Tymaret is really good and should have been the pick. P3P4: This was a terrible pick in retrospect, you're really missing that second amulet in your final build. You should have already been thinking about whether or not you want to splash green in your final deck. P3P9: Same as P3P4 but it should have been super obvious at this point that you'll want/need to splash. Try building your deck, making cuts, considering your splashes etc. during the draft. Arena makes this really easy to do, and if you had done this it would be pretty apparant that amulet is a need for your deck, making sure you have access to green mana while still reliably hitting WW and BB for your other spells. Also it gives you fodder for escape which isn't nothing. As far as if it was good or bad to splash green, i could seen an arguement for both sides, but it's important to make your picks consistent with the style of deck you want to play. If you like to play greedy splashes, then you need to prioritize fixing over lovely on-color commons. little munchkin fucked around with this message at 15:12 on Feb 6, 2020 |

That's more of a draft issue than deckbuilding though I don't think it's worth running any of the stuff in your sideboard. Absolutely do not splash, you have a bomb rare that requires BBRR to function. None of your white cards can compete with the power level of being able to reliably escape Kroxa.

 I would like some help please. This might actually be more garbage than I imagine but it feels like one of the better post-draft piles of cards I've ever had. Because of that, I really want to have the best advice going into my first games. I probably don't have enough large creatures or removal. I clearly am aiming for a sacrifice deck but I haven't played one in this format. Any help would be appreciated. I'm fantasizing here but I would love to steal one of their creatures with Betrayal, sacrifice their creature later, trigger some sacrifice bonuses, and create a copy with Nightmare Shephard.
