I feel like I've been getting overly hosed on lands in draft. The times I have two in hand and only need a third to play something are ridiculous, and I don't know the average but drawing only lands where it's the exact amount of cards I'm down to my opponent the next game feels equally tilting What are the odds of only drawing lands for the first 5-8 turns?

Mat Cauthon posted:How many lands are you running on average? Are you keeping two land hands on the play? Because that is no bueno and the Variance Gods will punish you for it more often than not. I tend to run the default 17 unless I have like one 5+ mana card in which case I'll reduce And I definitely have a hard time pressing the mulligan button and tend to keep 2 land hands. Feel like I get messed up with 3-5 land hands and draw only lands more often than mana screw

Despite my mana and screwing happening very close together in games, the percentages sounds about right 15% chance for mana flood is probably right over a wide range, just seemed to happen consecutively rather than with a break in between. Feels bad

Can't wait for Theros draft to come back. Took me a little but I got ok at it by the end I can not figure out how to draft Ravnica Allegiance for the life of me. Seems I have a good deck and then I get perfectly countered too many times

ungulateman posted:- oread, arena trickster, nexus wardens, satyr's cunning, mountain Didn't get offered anything bigger than the brute, unfortunately. Only things I skipped for satyrs was a warbriars. The mistake might have been going for r/g in general, though it was semi free as seen from my picks. Didn't see any major removals in other colors (black and white) so the green enchantment removal seemed good in comparison Appreciate the help, I'll try and record draft offerings next time Edit: no other escape cards offered, should've said Squiggly fucked around with this message at 04:53 on Mar 28, 2020 |

Paul Zuvella posted:p1p2: Lyre is the best card in the pack by a country mile and is colorless to boot I don't tend to value Pious Wayfarer very highly. I see it work well for my opponents but never have the same luck And I've never used Heliod's to great effect, went for the cheap removal instead. I think I value stern dismissal higher than you and that may be wrong

Hello come criticize my draft and offer deck advice please Draft: https://www.17lands.com/draft/dce1e1aed30d460fa7aed2253e5739ec I tried to stay open pack 1 but seemed blue white was the obvious choice pack 2. Seemed to be rewarded Deck: https://www.17lands.com/deck/dce1e1aed30d460fa7aed2253e5739ec This deck is a little top heavy, so not entirely sure. Thinking shatter helps that? Could see adding a lower curve and removing it though

Thanks to everyone who's providing feedback on my drafts, I'm learning a lot If anyone wasn't able to find a discord channel for FNM lemme know I got an extra code for the Ajani sleeves Any thoughts on my cube deck? I was thinking green for the mana fixing, but green doesn't seem to do anything and I don't think assassin's trophy alone is enough. Black is the strongest color by far, and white seemed good enough to complement it Card pool: https://www.17lands.com/pool/94b957337e4b4132a9289b1acb32902a Deck: https://www.17lands.com/deck/94b957337e4b4132a9289b1acb32902a Please note I do sealed less than limited and am probably bad

I would really appreciate some help on this. I feel like I drafted a beast deck but my other two drafts got blown out pretty hard in this format and I am not quite sure what I'm doing yet. Definitely finding it hard to cut as every card could be useful but I'm sure some are bad. Abandoned Sarcophagus was P1P1 so it might be a bit forced but c'mon had to go for it https://imgur.com/a/S0LhJZ9

First premier draft for Kaladesh, first 7 wins in a loooooong time. P1P1 was Chandra, but MVPs were definitely Propeller Pioneer, Aerial Responder, and Spireside Infiltrator paired with Fairgrounds Warden and Revoke Privileges. Only pulled off the Chief of the Foundry and servo combo one time, and it was definitely not worth it but it baited removal. Flying is really good if you can remove their flying creatures too

I don't think I get Zendikar. I thought this deck was pretty bad but I just aggro'd myself to 7-1 through banneret, dauntless unity, and early flyers (sometimes with kitesail). I feel like I've built better decks and failed harder, especially since I was going for clerics and didn't get any of the good ones. P1P1 was nullpriest and in 8 games I never saw it.

Hello I am very bad at cube please come help me not be as bad. Dunno why the rest of p1p1 is missing but I went for the card that might keep me open in other/multiple colors before ending up with not an exciting range of colors https://www.17lands.com/draft/dcff46bc1ac5498d93219ff3e2748842 Also please help me with deck cuts, still need 4 down and maybe 2 lands should be cut?

Danimo posted:I'd cut Ayata. Bolas's Citadel, Command the Dreadhorde, Blossoming Defense, Blackbloom Rogue and 1 land and put in Obosh and either Witch's Cauldron or Wilt. Probably Wilt. Leaving in Citadel or Command instead of Obosh is also understandable, I just prefer the safety of an okay creature over big flashy cards that might not do anything or might also win the game. Thanks for the advice. Went 7-2 with this thanks to your suggestions. Wilt was incredible, I was definitely undervaluing enchantment/artifact removal thinking rec sage would be enough. Citadel was pretty underwhelming, my draw was online pretty early with the bestiary and vizier into great henge. MVPs were definitely Ashaya and cycling spacegodzilla into back for more

Wezlar posted:I mean, getting to play an extra creature/land as a freeroll in your deck with Lifecrafters Bestiary, Bolas' Citadel, The Great Henge, Dryad Greenseeker and Vizier of the Menagerie seems pretty strong, not to mention it is just going to be a 5/3 later in the game a lot of the time. Honestly, and take this with some confirmation bias, having an untapped land might have helped instead. If I had one of the draw engines out I was never in need of more plays. If anything I was short on removal, and I played hagra mauling as a land in every game but one. Untapped lands helped me make the bigger plays sooner But it still may have been a mistake to not put it in

New deck, u/b. Thoughts? Lots of powerful cards that I could slot in from the sideboard but have no real experience with https://www.17lands.com/deck/128506810bdb479ba65419507fcf027f and of course the draft if you want to critique choices. The only major thing I know I missed that I wished I had picked up was P2P5 where I picked spark double over the reassembling skeleton I hoped would wheel. Also maybe P3P3 should have been Ayara over champion of wits? https://www.17lands.com/draft/128506810bdb479ba65419507fcf027f edit: p1p4 was just a mistake, I meant to click doom foretold but was thinking about Karn and tapped my mouse at the wrong time

Could use some input for this cube draft I feel like I should remove most of the counter creatures/token creation and lean into the control side of the deck, but I could even companion up. Feel like there's a number of different ways this deck could go and I'm not sure what's best.

Fish Of Doom posted:The weird thing about Wrath is control decks can just throw in Shatter the Sky in its place and it's just slightly worse. It's not like if they had omitted Teferi or Shark Typhoon. Is it even worse? I guess you can play around it, but with all the escape and graveyard recursion exiling seems pretty good I don't play much with it so assuming the deck thinning it gives your opponent might not be great

I really wanted to try and force angels (second time I've drafted Firja's saga and then seen absolutely no support for it) but I feel like I ended up with a semi decent deck after completely lucking into Halvar despite missing some earlier red cards. Any changes you'd make?
