There are an amazing number of Simic Flash players who have allowed me to resolve Domri without realizing all my creatures resolve now.

I am currently 4-2 in the challenge running Gruul. First loss was to a WB deck that felt like a hard counter to me, running tons of removal and reanimating Plaguecrafter. Then I lost to Esper control after drawing 7 and 10 lands in games 1 and 3. Taking a break and will see if I can win streak to 8 (unlikely).

I think this is correct, but I am not 100% sure on some choices. Is Mystic Subdual or Convolute any good? Also lol at getting passed 2 Blood Curdle and Heartless Act. Edit: Also Leech or Pteron? Leech feels slow and two Pterons feel like good finishers. Yoked fucked around with this message at 18:45 on Apr 18, 2020 |

Any idea why I am getting paired against someone in Mythic when playing draft when I'm in loving Silver? I know the game doesn't want you to hang in matchmaking, but it's a real feel bad when I am still learning the set. (I'm not owned I'm not owned)

VictualSquid posted:I think some of the events use swiss style pairing. That is you are paired against someone with the same number of wins and losses in the current event. This makes sense for the Bo3 drafts since they are not on the ladder. For ladder drafts (which the new player draft Bo1 falls into), there shouldn't be pairings between Silver/Bronze to Mythic unless no one is playing (maybe that is the case for Sunday at 9AM PT). Also I have played against the Bant Gyruda deck and holy moly does it goes off consistently. Basically it feels like there is no way to interact with it unless you are playing counterspells (as someone pointed out in the thread before I think). It also seems hard to get under it since you can basically go turn 3 Umori into turn 4 Gyruda.

See one of my previous posts with a RG Fires deck running Quartzwood Crasher. It’s been a pretty fun deck and kills people out of nowhere when they don’t know the game plan of the deck. Aether Gust can be an obvious problem but I have only had trouble against Izzet decks that use it to stall you while they beat you down with that Drake and Phoenix.

th3t00t posted:Just lost to this RG version of fires as jeskai fires. The RG versions seems tuned to crush jeskai fires head to head, but the RG version seems like it would auto lose to any deck running counter magic, and especially weak to flash decks, which jeskai can handle, especially after side board. I am 12-3 on the ladder with the deck currently. It does feel well positioned against a lot of the greedy decks going around and I have managed to go 2-1 against Simic Flash, but I think I have gotten lucky on at least one of those. Also, it looks like someone is piloting in the CFB MagicFest to Top 8 this weekend, so it may have potential.

Well this last draft was a surprise. I started off 0-2, changed the deck and then rattled off 7 wins in a row. First time I drafted Simic Mutate and it was quite a bit of fun just stomping with monsters and felt like you generate quite a bit of tempo with it. I started off the draft feeling I could easily splash a 3rd color. I know Cubwarden is great, but it didn't feel like reason enough to splash (and would be hard to Mutate with WW as a splash). The small red splash ended up working well with the Fertilid and Greathorn.  Deck: https://www.17lands.com/deck/e72b343197e84b61bcbebb9873c3ee4a/3 Draft: https://www.17lands.com/draft/e72b343197e84b61bcbebb9873c3ee4a Also I have now gone from 2 or less wins in Premier to 5 or more consistently in bot drafts, so I may have developed a crutch in drafting...

I tried playing that Obosh Gruul deck and went 0-5. Then I switched to an Esper Hero deck with General Kudro and managed to do 5-2 or something so far. Deck has been fun but I haven’t run into the buzzsaw of FoD yet.

Crokeyz was playing Winota on stream in top 50 Mythic and didn’t lose a game so it might be busted. I think there might be a control deck out there that could counter it but also that deck probably folds to FoD or Nexus so maybe not a viable one. Edit: my anecdotal evidence with Winota is it taking me through Platinum to Diamond and only losing one match to Lurrus RDW.

flatluigi posted:i said this in the other magic thread but i'd really rather have 20 cards that i can actually play with instead of 20 cards that would come (either basically or literally) pre-banned There are some clean answers to a turn 2 Ulamog (but not Agent of Treachery, gently caress that card). There are also no cards like Buried Alive that can guarantee you get a good reanimate target right away. I think it could have been at least interesting and you get WC refunds if something is banned. Of course WotC would probably suspend it to get around that...

Gruul is the most powerful aggro deck in Historic right now. Questing Beast is the best thing to be casting on the top end with Teferi, FoD and Nexus in the format. Mardu Humans is a fun deck but my record on the ladder has been 50% steady no matter the composition so probably not great for Historic Challenge.

JakeP posted:Would there be any value in subbing out one of the kitesails on the sideboard for Umori? Umori probably won't do much except be a 4/5 body since you are looking to cast it when you're out of other cards. It may also be difficult with that manabase considering six lands would be specific toward Humans, but not entirely sure. I have a similar Human Knights deck (the sideboard is probably not great): Deck 4 Ancient Ziggurat 3 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben 4 Unclaimed Territory 3 Benalish Marshal 4 Dauntless Bodyguard 4 Sacred Foundry 4 Blood Crypt 4 Godless Shrine 4 Skyknight Vanguard 4 Venerable Knight 4 Worthy Knight 4 Fervent Champion 4 Inspiring Veteran 4 Stormfist Crusader 4 General Kudro of Drannith 2 Plains Sideboard 1 Thalia, Guardian of Thraben 3 Kitesail Freebooter 3 Dire Fleet Daredevil 3 Giant Killer 2 Glass Casket 3 Embereth Shieldbreaker It has been fine, but that guy had to get pretty lucky to run 7-1.
