Went with my brother and we won 16 packs between us. We both had a great run. I felt like my draft was meh. It was rakdos goblins with only 2 rares. But I somehow managed to win with copious burn spells and going surprisingly wide. I was borderline a fucking control deck. So ya cant wait to get insta destroyed first arena limited I do.

is everyone just playing limited and commander at lgs's? is there any standard/modern scene at your typical shop? are standard players all just playing on arena now?

>>97393699
You the anon from the other thread? If so I answered most of that. But limited has a decent scene yes. A draft is like 10 bucks. The prerelease's are always packed, one I won those from had 70 entrants. Yours might have one today if so I HIGHLY reccomend you go. Its very fun, like 35 bucks and is kinda the lowest barrier to entry for any player.

>>97393721
lol yeah, I am, thanks
I might go check it out, but I'm still not really sure if I even want to bother with paper at all

>>97393741
Prerelease is probably your best test then. Its very low skill and fun. Other main idea is to simply play with a friend. Theres a few 60 card premade boxes on store shelves that are cheap. The FF one was like 20 bucks. Grab it with a friend and play. The main thing you get from paper is talking to and interacting with other humans. Either as friends and just chatting, but also talking about WHAT you want to play. You dont always have to be armed to the teeth for the standard meta with some hyper efficent deck. You can agree on things.

After a horrible 0-3 with a shit draft, the arena gods have been kind. I thought at first this pile is kind of mediocre (barely any fast mana and not that much control), but boy I already have gone infinite turns twice and am 5-0, so I wont complain

You know what's pretty good? Ugin
You know what's really good? Ugin, crafted into The Enigma Jewel, then casting another Ugin
And now you've got 4x ugin per turn for up to 12 life 4 cards per turn or +12 mana per turn
And your enigma jewel could be crafted with a hedron archive or another enigma jewel and add +2 mana per turn on top of that

And then your opponent is looking at his cards as I blow up target up to 4 lands up to 4 creatures up to 4 artifacts with 1x boom box + esoteric duplicator in a single turn cycle because it comes back at my end of turn before they untap

How do brawl players dont get tired of seing the same staple cards on every deck?

>>97399112
Hell its not the cards, its the stacking. if im playing against mono green there is a 95% chance they will start with a utopia sprawl or one of 3 mana dorks. the other 5% is shadowspear.

>>97399352
Frankly, I'm not a fan of every white deck starting with authority of the consuls on turn one, every time. With dorks there are at least several redundant cards that can play each other's role. Here it's just conveniently 1 in 99 card in their opening hand every time

>>97399772
if the deck doesnt care about lifegain they will always start with land tax or esper sentinel instead.

They've had faggy anime art for years.

https://scryfall.com/search?q=art%3Aanime&unique=art&as=grid&order=released&dir=asc

Tried to play ONE game of standard

get put on the draw
opponent has turn 1 elf
I have tapland
opponent sits and does nothing until my end step then its just a dig spell
I have a tapland, he digs
opponent turn 3 he casts kona, omniscience, like 50 spells and win the game
wahoo bing bing what a game

turn 3 omniscience in standard we really fucking needed that great job wizards

So which cards have any practical impact on standard you guys think? So far the only big ones from what I can tell is MAYBE theres enough BS to make rakdos goblins a thing, but probably not. Moonshadow can probably fit in some black decks. And bitterbloom in dimir, maybe. This set feels kinda weak. Which is to say it feels fine but there has been such unfiltered BS recently this set feels weaker compared to them.

>>97407190
Though my heart belongs to the cube, I actually quite enjoy mh3 as well. Id consider it a top 5 format (in arena) Its true that some bombs are simply absurd esp early boros rare&mythic 1-2 drops (and there are some mythic uncommons path of annihilation, chryssalis &c) but even then given its a modern set interaction is usually cheap and good. Format is usually fast decks vs good value decks, so the board can get really gummed up with eldrazi spawn in a mirror. Its not unusual to win or lose by milling. Tbh i would not consider myself an expert of the format but forcing eldrazi seemed to work for me.
This is the decklist. Six and insignificance is absolutely insane late game making all your dud land draws into 5 mana removal. I think i casted that insignificance 7 times in one of my games. Also malovelent rumble is i think a little slept on but i haven't been able to get drafts in recently so my rank is low and im playing with crack smokers.

Almost as embarrassing as not being able to give cards custom names to go with your custom art.

My theory is WotC keeps shifting to prince sets (limited formats where rares dominate) because they want to tamp down on skilled drafters being able to reliably win by making good picks and enable Joey Dipshit to win some games due to pulling good on occasion.

>>97414534
Rare lands should be absolutely showered on the playerbase to enable people to actually play the game, then they'll spend money on wacky bullshit rares and feel good about it instead of sinking all their wildcards into the deckbuilding equivalent of eating your vegetables.

First draft of the format, Im sorry folks but even the greatest limited players among us can't trophy all the time... First impressions; the format is the raped and its very fast. Rosewater gave every single one of my opponents 1 drops. Hmm curious... Wondering how much they paid for black lotus membership to rig the shuffler. Anyhow the 3 drop colorless changeling is very good but those whom are well versed in spineseeking already knew that probably. Probably all dual colored cards that look at top 4 for land and tribal creatures are good aswell. Vivid is also good. Shrineshrieker or whatever is goated.

>>97416186
At first I thought that too, but they just condensed it since there are SEVEN (7) FUCKING STANDARD SETS COMING OUT. That being said they still give you Omenpiss packs so it feels like they are screwing you.

>>97418193
>after just two days
The set has been spoiled for like two weeks already and card assessment skills don’t disappear with each set. As a draftlet myself I’ve heard people recommend smurfing just for drafts and doing quick drafts for practice, since it’s cheaper and there’s no time limit on picks. It’s frustrating that it’s not as accessible as jumping into constructed because of the high cost of entry, but there’s ways

>>97418193
Nah you don't need to memorize all the cards. Most of the people doing well right now (and in the early period of any new set) are the ones who have good fundamentals. There's a lot of overlap between sets, you don't need to relearn everything each time. For example, in TLA the WG archetype was ally tribal, in ECL the WG archetype is kithkin tribal. These play quite similarly, even though the specific cards are different.

Beyond specific archetypes, learn to recognize what the open lanes are in a run. Trying to force a specific deck every time is a bad idea in most sets, it'll be even worse than usual for ECL because of the tribal focus. This isn't actually as hard as people make it out to be. Just try to stay open minded in pack 1, you don't need to be in certain color(s) just because you opened a bomb p1p1. Figure out what colors people are passing and you'll be rewarded in the later packs.

Also people often forget you have to actually play your deck well, I've seen people drop bombs and lose just because they were stupid. Learn when to mull, learn when to swing, learn when to block.

>>97418193
>How am I supposed to get better at drafting in Arena? Cant pass beyond the 3rd win
this isn't a skill issue, it's a rigged f2p game issue
granted, you very well could (and probably do) have many gameplay leaks. but judging your skill level based on mtga results is a fool's errand. switch to MTG online or real life if you want to really know how good you are and how to get better at the game. mtga is a rigged bullshit clown fiesta where nothing is real

>>97418193
My 2 cents is you just lose sometimes and not to get disheartned. Im a decent drafter I feel with about as close to infinite as you can sanely get and sometimes I just lose games where there was nothing I could do. Even the best drafters lose that. Hell the BEST barely scrape 70% wr. Sometimes you draft insane and manaflood and get knocked out 1-3. Sometimes you feel you got cucked though in draft and somehow the stars align, you use great skill and manage to win.

I'm hoping against hope that reality fracture ends up being a sleeper hit like edge of eternities was
the concept definitely has potential unlike many of the UB sets they're shitting out
something like a modern planar chaos could be cool
when I heard about EoE I hated the idea since not only does "magic in space" not sound like magic at all but I just knew it was a stepping stone for UB like star wars and now we have star trek like a year later
shocker
but I did end up liking the set overall, some pretty cool cards there and some good art

>>97419576
I don't know why I ever bother drafting non-green, big dumb timmy drops are just too consistently good in limited compared to trying to be cute with black or blue

>>97419641
i only just got into magic because the izzet lessons deck looked fun to play, and it is
i like casting a ton of spells and drawing a ton of cards

>>97419677
i tried the pick 2 draft afterwards and got a ton of goblins so i thought the deck was decent, low curve and 5 removal spells, but i went 0-2 and got shit on because i just play a creature then they play a creature mine would trade unfavorably into so i just have to sit there and do nothing and my board accrues no value because i didnt have a single blight payoff card
so eventually their board is huge and they just swing in with everything and win

dont forget foundations

So draft is a shit, while i can just play standard and make enough in game currency to buy more packs and so on. Jump-in is also practical and comfy, best thing to start with everytime a set comes out. So yeah, fuck you

>>97418193
First of all learn the drafting basics. Learn good value creatures learn good effects ex: creatures w/ etb bounce opponent creature is usually always good. Just knowing if a card is okay or horrible at first glance will make you a better drafter. Honestly even though its not always right rectangle theory (card that makes most in game objects is probably the goodest) is probably a good enough starting point. Learn threat diversification. Learn curves, understand when you can cut to 16 and have a good mix of creatures/removal. Learn when to not overextend into a boardwipe. Learn how to find an open lane when drafting. Honestly Lorwyn is probably very good at learning this. See which cards get passed in which tribes (sorry ahem i meant typals or whatever). This will allow you to get into an open lane, modern magic limited design is handholdy and retard proof anyways. Look for signpost uncommons.
Then learn whats the premium removals are in the set, learn what the best bombs are, your opponent probably left mana up on your turn what they could be presenting at instant speed, you dont want to get blown the fuck out by a stupid +2/+2 combat trick do you. Maybe just keep scryfall open when opponent has suspiciously open mana. You can tell when they can play something in instant speed but sometimes i bluff that by holding full control :^). Learn the set specific things like cards and interactions. Understand which decks seem good, is it a fast format is it grindy is it one where whoever squeezes out the most value wins. Use 17 lands data but do understand that that shit is always relative, man. It depends. Everyone seems to know what they are doing because most magic sets are actually quite similar at the core of it in limited. Play efficent creature, play efficent removal. Try to get got your opponent with a 2 for 1. Know when to swing and hold back. Understand who is the agressor and who is the raped in any boardstate. Its basic magic fundementals.

is pick 2 worth it rewards wise or should i stick to bo1 drafts?

not him but i just don’t fundamentally understand how youre supposed to succeed unless p1p1 is a bomb you build around or you just magically get passed a bomb in p2/3 that you happened to have been building around that the other player just couldn’t use
how many picks can you afford to just take the best card available even if none of them work together and then retroactively decide what deck you made

>>97423056
By pick 3 or 4 you should have a good enough idea of what lanes are open or not and have the confidence to bench your p1p1 blue mythic if everyone is passing you GW gas. Building around a bomb is a good way to tunnel vision yourself into a shitty deck, consistency is the goal

>>97423056
Going to simplify some things here, but here's a general idea. Say all three of the guys to your right open a p1p1 green bomb and try to force green to build around it. You'll notice that by p1p4, you're not seeing many green cards, much less good green cards.You'll also probably notice that a lot of strong cards in other colors are getting passed pretty late. These are strong signals that you should avoid building green, even if you yourself got a p1p1 green bomb. Obviously things rarely work out exactly like that. Let's say this time, the guys on your right open up a p1p1 bomb for G, R, and B respectively, and are trying to force their color. The signals won't be as strong, but you'll notice a similar thing happening as the previous example. This time though it's less about the lack of good BRG cards and more that strong WU cards are getting passed late, this is a good signal that those colors are open and you should consider building that. This is why most drafters try to stay flexible in pack 1, they're trying to find the open lane.

Last run I had for example, I got p1p1 champion of the shoal. One of the best cards in the set, probably the best blue card. However throughout pack 1 I didn't see many good blue cards, indicating that someone (or multiple people) on my right were taking them all. So towards the end of the pack I was trying to figure out what to move into instead, and like p1p7 + p1p8 I got passed morcant's eyes. This is another strong card. Not as good as champion of the shoal, but that doesn't matter. It's a sign that the guys on my right aren't building elves, and probably not building G. If I try to force U then I'll likely end up with a mediocre merfolk deck that has a small handful of really strong cards. If those get dealt with or I don't draw one then I'd lose. But if I swap to G, then I get better consistency with a better average card quality, plus odds are good that I'll get passed a G bomb or two anyway (and I did)

>>97422403
You really blew xirs assholes out on that one

>>97423239
>>97423287
isnt “finding the open lane” just picking the best available card with no regard to how the cards you have picked could fit into a deck?
if everybody is passing br goblins to you but they all suck ass you shouldnt just pick them because theyre there and conversely you cant force a color that the people passing packs to you are forcing because theres just literally no card to be picked in that color
it seems like the only “consistent” option is picking the best available card for some amount of picks and then at some point making a hard decision on what your deck is and then forcing that for the rest of the picks so that you atleast have 23 playable cards

More or less. At the start you want to figure out what's open by reading signals, later on you should "tell" other people what you're playing by sending signals. The guy on your left has the same relationship to you as you have with the guy on your right, e.g. if you force red then the guy on your left is less likely to be in red. What you do in pack 1 sets the outline for how the other packs go. You get rewarded in p2 if you send strong signals, because that helps ensure the guys on your left aren't in your colors. You get rewarded in p3 if you read signals well, because that helps ensure the guys on your right aren't in your colors. You can't really do both at the same time, so you gotta find the right balance. Sometimes you open a great p1p1 rare and you take an on color card p1p2 that's not actually the best in the pack, to send an early signal. Sometimes you get to the end of pack 1 and still aren't sure what colors you're going to be running because the packs were shit. Sometimes you pass the p1p1 multicolor bomb because the odds of you being able to actually run it are low. I didn't even get into how having multiple colors works even though most decks will be multicolor, because that adds another layer of complexity. You usually want a primary color to "force" and one or two secondary colors that you read to see which is better.

do you really have to craft the particular art version of a particular card to use that art? i opened a steam vents from lorwyn but id rather use the other art but to use 4x of that id have to craft 4 of them?

I am fully willing to accept that my small aggro brain is simply too stupid to understand how to play certain matchups, but what does Sephiroth even do in this deck? I've been playing a version of it for a couple weeks (only two copies of Seph, no stabs, no heartless acts) and have yet to have him do anything other than draw me a card on entry. If the opponent stabilizes after my initial skelly spam I feel like I just lose regardless of whatever value Sephiroth can theoretically provide, and I can't imagine what the fuck deck I would be playing against to make it to the point that I'm activating Realm of Koh for tokens to sac with him.

Depends on what you mean by "draft tips" gameplay is obviously the same but the bots have a weird way of picking cards during draft even if its trained on Real Data TM. The signals are all muddled.

>>97431670
It decays significantly, but not all the way. I think you drop 2 of the larger tiers. (Like Gold 3 becomes Copper 3 etc. So it doesn't take too many seasons to drop all the way down, but you don't drop to the bottom if you're higher than gold.)

This set is quite spalsh friendly. Pretty much every draft ive done has been 3 color.

I guess UR must be the consensus "best archetype" in draft cause that's what half my opponents are running now. I still haven't drafted it and if everybody else is fighting over it I'll just keep taking the good stuff they don't want.

Ajani players are subhuman.

why are so many sideboards 1 or 2 ofs?
wouldnt you rather be swapping in/out entire playsets of cards that are/arent useful in certain likely matchups?

>>97436411
The idea is that in a healthy meta, there's a variety of decks you'll face off against. Any given sideboard card would probably only be good against one or two of them. If you have a full playset then you're basically expecting to face off against the deck it's good against, so why aren't you running it mainboard? Having 1 or 2 of each lets you side against a wider variety of decks. Usually the exception is when there's a hoser for a dominant deck in the format which is a dead card in other matchups.

>>97436411
A full playset of a single card takes up almost a third of your sideboard, for one thing. Are you only going to want 3 alternative options? You’re hedging your bets, and most decks have some sort of capacity to dig for specific cards

>>97436450
i guess it depends on the meta but if you have 15 sideboard cards and, lets just hypothetically say any card you sideboard is only for one matchup eventhough some could overlap, and you dedicate 2 cards per potential matchup then youre sideboarding for 7 other decks equally
wouldnt it be smarter to 4 of sideboard for 2-3 of the decks youre most expecting to see and then 2 of sideboard for 2-3 other potential decks
youre completely giving up sideboard against 2 decks but gaining way more consistency against the top 2-3 decks you actually expect to see
obviously people much smarter than me have already figured this out im just curious

>>97436475
>wouldnt it be smarter to 4 of sideboard for 2-3 of the decks youre most expecting to see and then 2 of sideboard for 2-3 other potential decks
In practice that's pretty much how it works, if you consider overlaps. Say there's decks A, B, C, D, and E that you're siding for. But A and B are more popular and you want to be more prepared against them. So your sideboard might look something like
2x AB card
1x AC
1x AD
1x AE
2x A
2x BC
1x BD
1x BE
1x B
2x CD
1x E

You'd have 7 cards for A, 7 cards for B, 5 cards for C, 4 cards for D, and 3 cards for E. Even though you don't have more than 2x of any particular card, you're able to swap in much more than that for any given matchup. Things get a little more complicated when you consider how strong each card is in a matchup, maybe the AB card will fit both your key matchups but it's not as strong in them as the A card or B card so you aren't running as many, or maybe you have an awful matchup against E but it's pretty rare so you may just drop those cards entirely and hope you don't see the deck at all. Another thing to consider is that especially in older formats, you have greater card draw and selection, so you don't need as many copies of a card to be able to reliable see one in a game.

>>97436591
yea makes sense

>>97429420
Where are the firebending students? Also, since you're using cadets, consider going for a semi izzet lessons build. Firebending essentially works as ramp for all the instants you use. It's a weaker version of the deck but super fun since the mana spikes make for interesting decision making. Also, did you actually make comet work? It seems to be a pretty useless "win more" card to me.

>>97431048
Can you list like 10? I'm actually curious since I'm relatively new and have my own list.
I'm actually about to drop the game again... I really don't see how anyone is heaving fun with this. Nevermind the general mtg issue of lands creating many non games in a fast paced format, the amount of cards that make the game less fun seems to be pretty high. There are some like ouroboroid that are so strong that it's just mind boggling how they were even green lit and some others that are not that impactful but just plain and simple not fun, like that one mana enchantment that makes all creatures enter tapped while gaining life.

Also playing antisocial decks like stax or counterspell tribal or mill with real people IRL is not ideal because you’ll eventually get a reputation and people will stop playing, so Arena is the only place I can really indulge myself

kinda like 4chan is the only place you can "talk" to people, cause no one wants to irl

>opponent is discarding premium removal spells just trying to find more shitters to block with
This is what happens when you draft double Hexing Squelchers.

>4 mana 6/6 with no downside that also says "whenever you do anything draw a card"
wow such good design for limited. i love conceding on turn 4

First Lowryn draft, 7 wins. Didn't even know what cards existed in the set before the draft. Why is this game so fuckin ez bros?

>>97440511
>voice of victory
It’s very good but not gamebreaking
>no more lies
It’s Quench+ for UW, basically a dead draw late game. It’s fine
>Sheltered by ghosts
annoying but gives you a 2for1 and is especially bad against sweepers if they jailed a creature.
Kavaero Mind-bitten is a much more pressing ban target, specifically its synergy with Bringer of the Last Gift, since other reanimation effects don’t trigger its game-ending ETB. Kavaero is single-handedly propping the entire deck up and becomes a t4 win if you don’t have grave hate. Rest are solid bans

I don't know if this is optimal but man is this fun to run I'm thinking of going over 40 cards because these sealed games are so long and grindy is this a bad idea y/n

>>97440983
nta but lmao imagine having people on your mtga friends list
LMAO, even

>>97440985
Better be running that Pennant if you opened one.

It's turn nine and I have not drawn a spell I didn't have in my opening hand.

You can really tell when the game just wants you to stop playing it for a while. You're not allowed to go first, or draw spells, or draw both your colors, and your opponents are all topdecking perfectly.

>>97441262
If only. My luck went into getting 5 of the elf and not much else. Safewright and Command as my elf rares and then a suite of uncommons. How do you take a picture of a whole deck like in >>97440670

>>97441667
yep. i was crushing lorwyn drafts for my first 5-6 runs, got multiple max wins, then lost 6 games in a row across multiple drafts because my opponents repeatedly curved out with unbeatable bombs, topdecking unbeatable rares, curving out perfectly, literally every single game over and over
it's just such a fucking joke how rigged it is

Oh cool. Just added a 2nd vinebred and stoic to add more late game staying power. Puts me at 42, haven't tested it yet

Are there any profitable events I should enter right now, I have 10k gold but no gems

>>97441889
>game lets me actually draw one of my rares
>it is hard countered by something my opponent just played right before I drew it
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

draft is just boring as fuck, get offered a ton of dogshit cards, draw nothing, lose

>>97441080
>imagine having friends
I want to insult you but I'm worried you'd kill yourself.

If you draw seven lands in a row in a 16 land deck you should win on the spot and your opponent should have to rip up their real life cards while you watch.

>>97442279
people who have ever even looked at the MTGA friends list are a lot more likely to kill themselves than someone like me
which is probably evidenced by the fact that you're randomly bringing suicide up for some reason. something you think about a lot buddy?

LET ME GO FIRST GOD DAMNIT!

It finally happened.

>>97446441
literally afraid of firing another draft because i'm coming off a max win run
it's just so likely that they're gonna force some insane losses on me

>>97447421
I got to do the thing in exactly one game, then I was punished by going second for the rest of the run. I still won some games including one where the combo got milled away in the first few turns but god damn does this shit feel insanely rigged.

There's a bunch of recursion in the set, idk why you needed that one specifically.
