it is rather unlikely a masters player last season is a silver player now especially since you reset to gold iii

i was annoyed by it too but i went from brand new player to masters in like two weeks so

Or flash freeze/frost kin. It's a huge threat and probably wins if you can push it through. I would only be swayed by like a deathstrike/annihilate and even then I'd probably still take ringmaster P1P1 but I like feln so I may be biased

Also I was called a poo poo noob who is better at drawing than playing today. Sry duder but your 2/2 kalis is a poo poo play in the mirror and whoops now you die to my 8/8 kalis and my spells

how did ppl message you

also the mirror kalis match seems insufferable

youre already insanely ahead if you have eye of winter on board or multiple permafrosts and ice sprites resolved and youre probably in a great spot if you play two frostkins you dont want to be playing a card that's only good when youre crushing and does literally nothing if youre not

its worst matchups are roaches and maybe feln? oathbook rakano isnt a good matchup if they overtech for the feln matchup

i think id cut scorpion wasp the defensive tool the deck needs (if it needs any) is something to deal with quickdraw against rakano or izzet (fire/primal, can't remember name) since it wants to be the aggro in most other matchups

I'm unresonably mad about "versus" quests not triggering in draft. Not sure if it's for all of them but yesterday I had "win 5 versus games with a time deck" and it didn't complete despite my deck having time cards in it. Same with the first win of the day btw :argh:

Also speaking of draft, it seems to have found back to the old speed. People smorc you down more than they did in the first weeks and going greedy isn't the best choice anymore

splashes dont count as an "faction" deck iunno where the exact cutoff is but your deck will show a more transparent power logo for splashes e.g. shadow in armory

Nice, I was feeling confident after doing well in forge so i tried a draft. It ended poorly.

honestly forge is a lot more fun id definitely just do forge until you hit master rank in it (and stop getting rank up chests)

I'm trying to get there but I've lost back to back games on the last AI 3 times now. I wish I could do something about land density in the decks. I know they're not lands, what do you call them? They aren't all relics.

yeah thats actually the big downside of forge i forgot about there is a really disproportionate amount of power in those decks that you cant adjust

buckwheats monoG deck

4 District Infantry (Set1 #134)
4 Finest Hour (Set1 #130)
4 Inspire (Set1 #129)
4 Protect (Set1 #132)
4 Crownwatch Paladin (Set1 #139)
4 Eager Owlet (Set1 #144)
4 Paladin Oathbook (Set1 #140)
4 Tinker Overseer (Set1 #138)
3 Vanquish (Set1 #143)
4 Silverwing Familiar (Set1 #152)
4 Valkyrie Enforcer (Set1 #151)
2 Auric Runehammer (Set1 #166)
4 Mantle of Justice (Set0 #21)
26 Justice Sigil (Set1 #126)

mantle of justice is the main reason you want to play monoG so you probably want to get a playset of those

everything else is just good green aggro stuff

rakano doesnt feel that good in the format rn

imo skycrag is the premiere aggro deck and the argenport deck is the better pants deck leaving rakano in kind of a weird spot

rough that both of the replacements (and stonescar) all require significant more legendaries

Is there a good resource for a new player with a history of competitive mtg to learn the deck archetypes for ranked? I think I'm done with the beginning campaign stuff and want to jump right into some real games and learn the cards and archetypes.

id play forge until master cuz you get packs every time you rank up in forge and unlike gauntlet its actually fun (although iirc they made masters forge really lovely with one patch or another but they allegedly rebalanced it)

then hopefully you have enough to start putting together a first deck

i hit masters in ranked with stonescar (r/b) within two weeks of starting eternal so its not particularly hard if you can string together some wins

chalice is a deck with crystalline chalice (Once per turn, you may pay 2 and exhaust one of your units with 2 Attack or less. It gets +2/+2 and you draw a card.) and plays a bunch of 2 for 1 dorks, efficient removal, and board wipes to stall and reach inevitability

no one plays combrei on the ladder; tournament meta has nothing to do with the balance of the game because less than 100 people actually care about tournament eternal

plus an invitational is an even worse way of gauging a meta since testing groups will just play the same thing. 1/4 of that list is just the exact same combrei party deck so its going to look like theres a huge meta shift but really its just 7 guys who tested together and decided to play 1 list

sst feels incredibly medium right now

it doesnt impact the board significantly in the tavrod matchup, its pretty bad in the chalice matchup. its fine in the armory matchup (although ppl were just complaining about how good runehammer is in this thread). its pretty good in the fire/x matchups as a cost-pushed large dude. its just a guy in the xenan matchup. the alleged hooru fliers deck that supposedly exists (everyone brews it but no one plays it) probably wishes it didnt exist.

i mean its not bad but its just a dude in most peoples decks right now. using removal on sst feels so bad in a lot of the tier 1 matchups rn; ppl probably have a terrible record if they have to slay sst.
