just had this Eldraine draft that I actually feel pretty good about, but into feedback with anything I overlooked that stands out, as well as advice as to final deck I should be playing. https://www.17lands.com/draft/37cb41337f0d44158955d512c7522d63 https://www.17lands.com/pool/37cb41337f0d44158955d512c7522d63

afasgadhffdadfhj I wish there was an "undo last action if the opponent hasn't responded to it" option, I thought it was my opponent's end of turn which I'd put a manual stop at and Brash Taunter'd his big stompy guy, but it was right before combat and I realized that the instant I targeted it. dangit also we all know the animations in the game are pretty loving dire at times, but I haven't seen anything quite as trash garbage as Moraug's animation, where it's literally just his head and horns from the card cut out and wiggled a bit to signify ~he's here~

yeah it seems like the animation team's budget got curtailed significantly. like compare any of the eldraine mythics to any of the Zendikar mythics Are there any Zendikar mythics with actual 3D models (2.5D doesn't count) edit: not like it's a bad thing that there are less 3D animations, it's just strange

Rumor was they don't think they'll look any good on mobile or something so they moved to lower effort animations and/or everything else. I like the Drana one, though.

thespaceinvader posted:WHat's your goal with the deck? If it's spamming scute swarm, get more scute swarms. If it's landfall aggro, get more landfall aggo cards (particularly Kazandu Mammoth, Akoum Hellhound, Brushfire Elemental, you need to be hitting hard from turn 2 onwards) and enablers (Cultivate etc), plus things like Crash Through and Embercleave to push damage. You've got a lot of vaguely decent stuff here that doesn't really synergise so the deck will be super unreliable. resistentialism posted:Fabled passage gives you extra landfall triggers and is used in a billion other decks. If you can count your rare WC on one hand maybe don't blow all your rares making them but 1 or 2 couldn't hurt. Thanks for the advice! Mostly I just like Phylath and wanna do something with him, I'm probably gonna go for the landfall aggro deck and maybe split the scute swarm into a second deck or something.

I have a little chuckle every time Tymaret's lovely helmet pops up. Buddy, you're an uncommon 2/2, stop being so enthusiastic about being summoned. I like the shadows cast over the battlefield by Leyline Tyrant and Gargaroth.

 I love Cascade Singleton, because Party is surprisingly strong. I play Discontinuity in this deck because I can randomly play a 5-drop on turn 2. I beat these 51 Scute Swarms with my Angel of Destiny.

I love this silly-rear end deck. I feel like nobody recognizes Brash Taunter as a serious threat, until a Fiery Emancipation drops and then it gets Thundering Rebuked(or whatever similar direct damage), dealing 36 damage to the face in one shot What's the best way to get wildcards? Or is it only via boosters? I want to get some specific stuff to improve the deck, but I don't want to spend any more money on this game if I can help it.

Goose and Borrower have gotta be up there. My volume generally stays close to zero but I can always hear those. I remember a hilarious deck someone ran once designed to put every single possble ludicrously huge loud animation on the board off the same trigger and it was hilarious.

This is trap advice, this format is extremely swingy and even people who religiously follow the thread advice and post every draft deck in here are routinely going 0-3//1-3. Drafting is a good way to get wildcards if you have the money to spend on gems and don’t mind it taking a long as time and playing a lot of magic If you just want a lot of Zendikar cards for your decks, just spend gold on packs.

Basically, if you actually enjoy draft, drafting is probably the best way to get wilds/send your daily gold even if you're bad at it, if you don't enjoy draft, but are good at it, it's still probably the best way if you can stomach playing it. If you're both bad at it and hate it, just buy packs. Zendikar is a very good set though, I'm apparently 30-odd drafts off cracking my packs, but I'll probably cave before that because the last few unplayable rares are just not something I'm likely to care much about.

Was just curious if there was an easier way to get wildcards, but I guess it's get packs or draft to get them only. Oh well, I've almost finished the deck, so I'll just grind out the remainder. And yeah, zendikar is fun as hell. They only have a single set quick draft (the cheap bot draft) up at a time, it's not nestled in some menu I'm not seeing, right? I'm not familiar with theros and want to do some more zendikar cheap drafts if there's a way to still do them right now.

Captain Invictus posted:Well, it's more some specific mythics/rares spread across various sets in constructed that are difficult to acquire since I'm out of wildcards to use on them. I just got my fourth solemn simulacrum, for example, and I think I need about 5 or 6 more high end cards if I'm remembering right. you can't actually draft wild cards, the idea is that if you're half-good, you can turn drafting into a money spout for packs and gems at a better rate for your gold than just busting boosters. the only source of wild cards is either to randomly get them inside of boosters, from the counter thingy that fills up when you open boosters, or opening the vault which is at an absurdly bad rate to the point you can ignore it. but yes there's usually only one quick/bot draft up at a time and it rotates every... 2 weeks? i haven't touched them since human drafts happened so maybe someone else can answer that.

Yeah, wilds don't come from any source other than packs (except very, very slowly from duplicate commons and uncommons via the Vault), how you get packs is what's under debate. Bot drafts yeah, there's usually only one available and it usually rotates between the Standard sets once every two weeks or so. The current one is Theros. Bot drafting is better if you're bad at it, you need about a 60% winrate to make premier drafting work IIRC, and gives you twice as many entries for your gold, and the rewards are the same or close to the same for the first two or three wins. But the rewards are way worse if you are good at it since the number of packs scales so much better in premier.

To the people from the last few pages saying they are struggling against the Yorion/Doom landslide that is the meta right now: Strange as it may sound, I still recommend playing Mono G Food. Exile effects are nasty, so GW and straight up UW are hard, because they have the 1-2 punch of Apparition and ECD. However, I’ve added Ranger’s Guile in the sb which helps in a pinch, and more Ram Throughs to help nab Yorion targets. Also, find a build with Kogla. Best addition to the deck I’ve ever seen, with it killing a creature on the spot and being able to get rid of annoying enchantments when it attacks. GW Yorion is now more even than unfavorable, and Esper/UW is much better post boarding. Everything else in the meta feels favored to even.

But the rewards are way worse if you are good at it since the number of packs scales so much better in premier. The other thing to note is that the caliber of play is lower in quick draft (which is good when you're starting) and it gives you time to read all the cards or consult with a draft guide to help you evaluate a pick (also very important when getting started).

Sometimes the game just tells you what to draft. Ended up with a pretty monstrous deck, 3x Witchstalkers among other things. Was gonna be mono-G, but I ended up wheeling a Grumgully so I splashed it.

Having gone from five 0-3 drafts in a row at ZR to being relatively gem neutral I don’t know that it is swingy; it just really demands that you find and commit to a deck full of synergies because the effects produced by cards that work together in this format are overwhelmingly stronger than cards that are good in isolation. I think it might actually be harder for more experienced drafters to do well in because it works in its own specific way? I mean, that’s not why I did so badly at the start of the format, that was because I suck

Lionfish out for Leonins; they can trade with higher cmc cards and if your opponent has escape cards they can also dissuade your opponent from attacking, also devotion for chimera and legitimate threats with commanding presence. Mantles out. If you don't know, you can trigger Dreadful apathy then flicker it with the trigger on the stack, allowing you to exile the creature and come back in on another creature. And when it comes back in from flicker, it effectively returns already attached to a creature of your choice, so you can attach it through hexproof.
