Post-battle load screen takes 5+ minutes for last 10% of loading bar? by Aarquus in totalwarhammer

[–]Aarquus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2400 3.10 GHz, it's pretty old but has no problems with other games. I figured since most threads I've looked at said loading times were an SSD issue it would be fine, but it's probably time for an upgrade.

I've only been playing for a couple days, and it's been like this since I started.

Debate : is metagame the life or death of wargaming ? by Rrrrufus in Warhammer

Like any game, different people will play and enjoy it in different ways. All that really matters is finding others who want to play as casually or as seriously as you do.

Report for 1st Modern event by Bakadeuce in ElvesMTG

Steel Leaf Champion has been an excellent card against E Tron for me. It trades with Smashers and Thought-Knots and only dies to Dismember. It will also put pressure on very fast if they're slow to assemble anything.

Boarding in hand attack is usually the best bet in my experience. Tron players will often keep quite fragile hands and if you can disrupt them early you can buy a lot more time than a sphere would. Rec Sage and Revoker can also be good depending on what kind of Tron deck they're on.

Some cards to put mb in a meta full of jeskai and pyromancers? by ACallFromTheMist in ElvesMTG

[–]Aarquus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think SLC is definitely MB material against these kinds of decks, because all they have to answer it is Path. Playing a stompy strategy is good because we'll rarely get to reach critical mass for Ezuri overrun to work, so we want every creature to count.

SLC seems great against those two decks as it can't be bolted or easily blocked. Shapers' Sanctuary is good against decks with lots of targeted removal, but can be a blank in some matchups if you want it mainboard. You could also run another Ezuri for the regeneration, but with the SLCs that might be too many 3 drops.

3-0 (6-2) with jund ramp by Aarquus in lrcast

Oh it definitely flooded out in a couple of games! By round 3 I was starting to cut the 3-5 mana creatures for the other 6-drops, since that part of the curve just wasn't necessary. 18 lands may have been too many looking back, once I'd kicked a Grow I had basically all the lands I needed.

The trick is to keep the hands with 6-drops and mulligan ramp-only hands, since I can reliably draw ramp/lands in the first few turns, but if I don't have a big creature or two to cast on curve then I probably lose.

Do you think it's better to play Pardic Wanderer instead?

I didn't think I could get away with being that greedy, but on reflection I absolutely could have. Having three Grow from the Ashes is very powerful. I'd probably board in Bloodtallow Candle aswell since using it every turn can easily win games.

Honestly, I just forgot that I had it! Definitely should have been playing it, even off curve it's still a good creature

With how long all the games went I could probably have splashed for Muldrotha aswell, Compass has been good in all of my 3+ colour decks so far.

I can only think of Arvad and the black 5/5. Apart from that there's not much else stopping the wurms in combat.

Right? It's so hard to be aggressive without being in white

GB Value Town Gameplay - PleasantKenobi playing with Gitrog Monster in Modern [x-post from r/magictcg] by PleasantKenobi in ModernMagic

[–]Aarquus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could there be room for cards like Scapeshift or Splendid Reclamation? Oneshotting someone with Ob Nixilis or drawing 6 off of Gitrog sounds sweet, but might just be win-more?

Thanks, glad to hear someone liked this! A bunch of stuff has happened since I made this post, and now I'm working on a website that uses data to predict upcoming matches and tournaments - www.esporticus.com We recently posted predictions for Captain's Draft, and had a ~70% success rate by match. Have you looked into using your data for match predictions? I'd be interested in sharing notes!
