lol the adventure cards are the busiest, ugliest cards ever

Brawl is good. Can't wait to brew up a bunch of janky decks.

The 2:1 is way worse than any of the problems the mastery pass had. It's total loving horseshit. That said, I'm currently spending all my gold/wildcards on ix/dom packs and rares because it looks like they're deadset on making it a more 'expensive' format for whatever dumbfuck reasons they've internally invented.

I ended up running a mono-blue "all the counters + brineborn" deck out of frustration. It wasn't a clear favourite but it felt good to a boring rear end in a top hat of a slightly different flavour and my horrendous streak of losses stopped.

There's too many two for ones in the Storybook cards for RDW to still be that big an issue I think, unless there's an equally value-filled red card.

Now, was it because of his Teferi clowncar deck? Almost certainly not. But it does suggest that the universe doesn't look kindly on such atrocities.

They're complaining that they don't get a shockland if they own any copies of that same shockland already. I don't really give a poo poo about that but you don't need to exaggerate to make them look whiney.

It doesn't make sense though, why would they ever give cards over and above the ones required to make the deck? Has that ever been the case? Min/maxing your digital card collection that far in advance is so pathetic that I'm glad it didn't work out for them.

7-1 with my first sealed run, a blue-red 'card draw matters' deck. I would post a decklist but they still don't loving let you look at it after the last win.

It was mainly Improbable Alliance + Steelgaze Griffin + Mad Ratter for the wins.

My sealed tilt was a play against a mill deck that could have been constructed. Folio of fancies, endless milling merfolk and apprentices. My deck was irrelevant, nothing could have stopped that.

Dance mirror matches are the worst thing ever. I played my first one right out to the boring end of the murderous riders at the bottom of each deck. I'll never waste another half hour of my life like that, I'd rather concede straight away.

How does this happen? Don’t you hold up thought erasure to protect your Dance eggs?

At the dawn of time there was created two Perfect Beings. Powerful and Mighty were they, and Perfectly Optimally would they play any card game they were challenged in. It was Foretold that one day these creatures were destined to battle. And on that day a Perfect Stalemate would be reached, in which Looping Suicidal Murderous Riders would spell the Doom of interesting gameplay. I must be one of those beings.

5-2 with copy/paste Golos. Pretty ridic deck, sifting through the sideboard for a win condition is pretty drat fun and I expect to see mostly this deck in the bo1 queue for months. I only need 3 more rare wildcards.

This deck was disgusting.
I felt sorry for the guy piloting a u/r 'card draw matters' deck who copped the t3 lucky clover + merfolk t4 merfolk merfolk for a 24 mill :(

Edit: Jesus gently caress that image is large. Sorry, but I couldn't be hosed fixing it. Hell it represents the large need for human drafts.

Extra edit: Easiest and quickest 7-0 I've ever had.

Planeswalkers in general are fine, the problem is Wizards pushing walkers that are too cheap, get too much value the turn they come down and then turn the game into a minigame about whether you can remove them or not. Oko is especially bad about this due to how absurd his loyalty is (6 loyalty 3 mana planeswalker, what the gently caress were Wizards thinking lol)

I think we have hit "peak planeswalker" and Wizards will be toning it down from now on, especially with under 4 mana walkers.

Let me introduce you to Core 2021, featuring four new Teferis that all ruin your theory

For someone scraping the barrel of gems and literally cheering each time my draft breaks even so I can draft again - today's daily deal brings a slight lessening of the stress. I like what they're doing with the deals and it gives me more reason to become re-addicted the daily gold digging.

lets you draft offline with your buddies (and bots to fill seats if you need them), then you import the decks into arena and play via direct challenge

you'll need to craft the cards you're missing, but it's a fun way to make your own draft pod

I'm continually eating poo poo in this draft format, I keep getting half of a deck and then cut off, try to take a damage control lane change and end up with a pile of crap.

Also letting myself be guided into color splashes by the Ultimatums is, I think I have finally concluded after 3+ times, a horrible trap.

ok I think I finally got something worth a few wins. It's way too heavy on mutate enablers instead of payoffs but.. well, I was picking everything I could with mutate. Should I make any adjustments?

Are there any free companion/overlay apps that quickly show you which cards didn't wheel?

MTGAHelper has this feature, and I'm thinking of slinging him the first $3 to try it out, but I guess if I can get it for free somewhere I'd rather that. I already blow enough wads on this game.

Was whirlwind of thought worth? I've generally found it to be a massive tempo hit.

I don't think the deck would have worked without it, it pretty much won me every game. I basically stalled the early game or just took face damage until I brought Whirlwind online and then gradually outvalued. Ultimatum was important too but without Whirlwind I would never have drawn it or the lands to cast it. The only change I would have made if possible was swapping literally any removal for more Essence Scatters, super good in this format.
