historic was made to make people spend more on arena so that your cards dont go to waste the meta reason will figure it out, the business reason is sound

why does historic burn run jegantha? it seems like it's a waste of a slot and also a tell you're running burn in game 1. midrange defense i guess? seems crappy.

flood protection against decks that dont run you over in that case? ill run some sets and figure it out i guess.

yeah true, it makes more sense now in the sense that its a "free" slot but not necessarily a free play, something to do when you've got nothing it still seems bad even though its free, if you're in that spot you're probably already losing

I really enjoy limited and have had pretty good success in unknown draft formats by sticking to things I’ve learned from these guides: I thought Rietzl’s limited guide was pretty good https://strategy.channelfireball.com/all-strategy/articles/how-to-learn-limited/ tldr: Get games in, not everyone is good at theorycrafting until they have data As is CABS (cards that affect the board) theory https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/limited-information/cabs-theory-2015-08-19 tldr: Draft simple decks with cards that have meaningful text for reducing your opponent’s lifetotal to 0. Which also overlaps with BREAD theory (bombs removal evasion aggro and duds) https://www.coolstuffinc.com/a/melissadetora-041212-a-beginners-guide-to-drafting tldr: Figure out the balance of cards you want to go for, reducing the amounts of duds you take in to your deck by better knowing the format (see 1 and 2) Ben Stark’s stream is also fantastic for limited, as is Michael Jacob’s

Suggest something more relevant rather than just making GBS threads on it. I provided this with the context of the other two newbie/non-pro oriented guides, all 3 of which I have found helpful.

thespaceinvader posted:I need to have another look at UW fliers but unless something very surprising happens with Zendikar I just don't think it's got the beans to compete in STandard without Rally of Wings. Being able to run Lofty Denial is nice, but it's gonna be super vulnerable to Stomp/Petty Theft. yeah rally of wings pretty much wins you the game if you curve out first 3 turns, the deck is going to be significantly worse without it imo

As a goofball deck I think I enjoyed Mardu Zenith more, where you can sort of pivot into a bad mid range deck with Fiend Artisan The hand disruption seems better than the blue payoff cards in general, except maybe the 4/4 one

Kevin DuBrow posted:Apparently some people are using an exploit to make their opponents' clients crash. It involves hovering over their cards really fast, maybe using software? It happens at the timestamp below and other people have reported similar experiences. That's really interesting. I bet doing that clogs up the game's event log, despite being a cosmetic for a tell or reading a card.

rakdos midrange is real fun im on michael jacobs tweaked list and its been a blast, only matchup that feels bad is aggro but im sure someone will write something condescending about this take about the deck

the aggro matches were the most fun too, because they were super close and on review came down to some close decisions or running top decks after stabilizing its real interactive magic, and its good

Nehru the Damaja posted:edit: I mean mostly against mono-red aggro. I think all the Rakdos lists are shockingly bad against weird off-meta aggro like Selesnya counters, mostly because they snowball and Heartless Act is bad there. Scavenging Ooze, Tymaret and even less common grave-eaters also wreck your poo poo. yeah i found it was worse against go wide strategies whereas mono R or mono W was a bit closer

InterrupterJones posted:If you don't mind me asking, what are you playing? I've been in that same position for the last few seasons, so I know how much it sucks to be wheeling at the bottom of your rank for so long. For me it's just been finding the right deck, and thankfully right now there are a lot of viable options. Rakdos and later GB Adventures, typically getting dumpstered by UW Yorion Control or Doom Foretold, occasionally bad draws against Mono G I have been pretty consistently Diamond or % Mythic by now which is why I was disappointed in myself I went back to Bo1 and went on a streak with monored to feel better

ive got a generalized deckbuilding q where i am just kinda theorizing, so forgive me if any of this is off given stuff like Food as a sort of resilient big green deck, what would be the same way to approach this with red? i remember the fun brash taunter deck and im trying to add to it in a way with newer cards do i just guess and refine, or is there a more appropriate way (besides consider the meta and avg curve) to consider building a standard deck?

Bust Rodd posted:I personally think from playing many competitive games over the years that tracking your winrate and counting all your percentages like a calorie counter isn’t nearly as useful as setting intentional practice and focusing on making fewer mistakes during actual gameplay. You’re not gonna get better at the game by making it more stressful and like homework, you’re gonna get better by finding a deck that really speaks to you and that you are enthusiastic about. this is generally it i also play many competitive or ranked games and really you just gotta find what makes you happy and then make that tight as hell
