The Clowner posted:Finally got my first 7-x in Ranked Draft. Turns out it was as simple as drafting four (4) Final Deaths and at least one of every other black removal in the set, plus some escapers. Congrats! But you should have played Skola Grovedancer instead of Grim Physician, and another Chimera over the 1/3 artifact

Triple Goblin Warchief + Skirk Prospector is a wonderful combo and I'm glad they made a special mode to showcase it

I made it to 4-3 with a MILL deck on M19 draft. That counts as a win for me.

Im 7-2 so far with this despicable Brawl deck from a CGB video, and the first loss was due to some pretty bad misplays on my side. The part I don't like is that matches can be super long Commander 1 Thryx, the Sudden Storm (THB) 76 Deck 1 Chemister's Insight (GRN) 32 1 Disdainful Stroke (GRN) 37 1 Dream Eater (GRN) 38 1 Sinister Sabotage (GRN) 54 1 Essence Capture (RNA) 37 1 Mass Manipulation (RNA) 42 1 Quench (RNA) 48 1 Thought Collapse (RNA) 57 1 Ugin, the Ineffable (WAR) 2 1 Callous Dismissal (WAR) 44 1 Narset, Parter of Veils (WAR) 61 1 No Escape (WAR) 63 1 Emergence Zone (WAR) 245 1 Blast Zone (WAR) 244 1 Aether Gust (M20) 42 1 Agent of Treachery (M20) 43 1 Bone to Ash (M20) 48 1 Negate (M20) 69 1 Tale's End (M20) 77 1 Unsummon (M20) 78 1 Brazen Borrower (ELD) 39 1 Didn't Say Please (ELD) 42 1 Gadwick, the Wizened (ELD) 48 1 Midnight Clock (ELD) 54 1 Mystical Dispute (ELD) 58 1 Opt (ELD) 59 1 Turn into a Pumpkin (ELD) 69 1 Castle Vantress (ELD) 242 1 Mystic Sanctuary (ELD) 247 1 Arcane Signet (ELD) 331 1 Tome of Legends (ELD) 332 1 Ashiok's Erasure (THB) 43 1 Nadir Kraken (THB) 55 1 Omen of the Sea (THB) 58 1 Stern Dismissal (THB) 68 1 Thassa's Intervention (THB) 72 1 Whirlwind Denial (THB) 81 1 Labyrinth of Skophos (THB) 243 21 Island (UND) 90

VictualSquid posted:Torbran is almost to strong. I think it leads to boring games. Alright I've decided to go with Yarok! I play Mono Red (as well as Temur / Glint Eye Elementals) so I think I want to try to play something that I like a little more (Glint Eye Elemental where I abuse the gently caress out of Yarok, Omnath and Risen Reef) EDIT: Can someone explain Uro to me? The way I read it is, if you cast it from your hand, it pretty much goes right to the graveyard, then next turn (or maybe even the same turn) you can exile 5 cards from your graveyard and pay BBGG to bring it back into play. At that point it acts like a normal creature right? SO like optimally you want to get Uro into the GY first before you even cast it correct?

Thats the best way to get him into the yard unless you are running some sort of self mill Lazav shenanigans, but still 1ug draw a card gain 3 life and put a land into play is very good.

Especially with Yarok holy loving poo poo. I milled myself to death between Risen Reef, Uro, and Guardian Project drawing me a fuckload of cards. I got Loaming Shaman and was like "Oh gently caress here we go!" but then I got Ashioked and only had 4 cards in my library left

Hello come criticize my draft and offer deck advice please Draft: https://www.17lands.com/draft/dce1e1aed30d460fa7aed2253e5739ec I tried to stay open pack 1 but seemed blue white was the obvious choice pack 2. Seemed to be rewarded Deck: https://www.17lands.com/deck/dce1e1aed30d460fa7aed2253e5739ec This deck is a little top heavy, so not entirely sure. Thinking shatter helps that? Could see adding a lower curve and removing it though

Squiggly posted:Hello come criticize my draft and offer deck advice please P1P2: Imo Dreamshaper Shaman is stronger than Witness of Tomorrow. P1P6: Sentinels eyes is pretty easy to find late, i'd grab another amulet here, a second one gives you a lot of space to play all three colors you have so far. P2P10: Elite Instructor sucks and the 1/3 flyer works better with your auras (hopefully you don't have to play it though) The curve kind of sucks but it's not like you passed up on good two drops at any point. I guess you could swap dawn evangel for a towering wave mystic. The ability on evangel never seems to be relevant anyways.

What is the difference between ranked standard and the normal best of three ranked standard? I made a jank rear end Cavalcade deck with no rares or mythics, and I would be destroyed if anybody sideboarded. Is there better rewards or anything like that?

I don't think you'd be wrong for picking thassa but I would've considered renata instead simply because there's no good blue in the first pack and I've found thassa to rely on good synergy in draft. I probably would've pivoted to black immediately instead of forcing blue and picking a lot of fairly mediocre cards & white wouldn't have entered the question

Like any good blue is likely to not wheel anyway, right? I think you pick the stronger card P1P1 regardless of the rest of that particular pack? That being said, blue is definitely weak overall in this set.

Darox posted:I snap picked Thassa P1P1 and every card I saw from then til P2P1 made me sad. You took a bunch of extremely mediocre white cards chasing that Insight, and the packs were pretty weak. You could have taken Charger and some Funeral Rites and started towards black, because you were taking some stinkers like Unicorn and Rumbling Sentry. Basically pack 1 was a write off and you're best off just seeing what's open going forwards. Pack 2 you probably just want Final Death and hopefully something clear comes this way because right now your deck has nothing going and the Omen/Tymaret are better than nearly other card in your pool. Look Around You posted:What do you mean by picking renata because there's no good blue in the first pack? Like any good blue is likely to not wheel anyway? I think you pick the stronger card P1P1 regardless of the rest of that particular pack? Many people think green is the worst colour in the set because the quality of commons drops WAY off after the first three. Even if you went green you'd have Renata, Warbriar Blessing and then.... a shitload of Grovedancers?

flatluigi posted:there's more to my sentence than what you're responding to I mean yeah, but a major part of that sentence just doesn't make sense to me I guess? I mean it's fine if you're arguing renata is better than thassa on other merits, but "there's not good blue elsewhere in the pack" doesn't seem that strong of an argument to me.

Black is regardless the least likely color to be open from all of them, so I wouldn't bank too much on it being open ahead of time. White is much easier to get cards for in an average draft so I'd likely always P1P1 Heliod's Intervention over Final Death, that card is really good.
