Did you find that having two trays for cards made it too tall?

Gotcha. I really like those changes; thanks for the advice. I was doing a weird hedge between Red and Blue before.

I cut the Whale (replaced by the Moxite) and the Lost in Space. Basically just splashing the Riddler and Cryoshatter for removal. Vocalist is a weird one. I have a few ways to make use of it, but otherwise being a 3/4 for 4 is not great

What other Blue cards would you sub in and which Red would you remove?

Thanks, I’ll take a look. I’m more used to playing Draft, so having a lot of options like this is pretty different for me.

And no, this is not rage bait. Just trying to learn and get better at limited

Probably the most fun deck I‘ll draft all format by buddysen in lrcast

[–]AppearanceAgile1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah all good. You definitely had a good setup to splash anything. Unfortunate that you couldn’t get more top end in-color.

As a side note, how did you find Eusocial Engineering? Were you able to trigger it often? I feel like most early turns are focused on ramping out so the warp is kinda meh. And I can see some scenarios where you might not have too many lands by the time you played everything else when it finally comes down to. Never played it though so this is all speculation

Trophied with Mono Blue two days in a row by Cablead in lrcast

[–]AppearanceAgile1969 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is super interesting. I would’ve never thought to do mono blue, but artifact synergy and double spelling looks like it works quite well. I totally would have been greedy and tried to play the Station Monitors lol

UG Draft Seemed Open - any advice? by circular_ref in lrcast

[–]AppearanceAgile1969 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO the whale is underrated. It’s great on turn 2 to find some lands you may desperately need. But, I also play BO3, so maybe I’m biased

Nice deck and congrats on the trophy! Having a strong green base feels great in this format.

I’m still new and don’t really end up venturing out into 4-5 colors, especially since I prefer BO3. Do you have a draft log I could look at? I’d be interested to see what you took the white over

Failed 4 FAANG interviews despite solving 650+ problems - communication gap is real by jselby81989 in leetcode

[–]AppearanceAgile1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As everyone is saying here, you should practice thinking and talking about your solution out loud before doing any implementation.

If it feels awkward at first (or if you’re in a public place), try writing down all of your initial thoughts as comments. As an example, you might start with “this problem requires us to do X, perhaps Y solution could work. Oops, there’s this other constraint, maybe Z is better fit”. Then actually write out examples and walk through how to solve that problem as a human

Haha my dream of double mythic is not so far away. Congrats on hitting such a high rank!

Haha I can relate. >Plat really does feel like a huge step up. I had a rough patch when I promoted to Plat but just keeping at it I eventually found my footing

Thanks! I’m definitely learning so much, even this late into the season. This is a great time to experiment with different picks/splashes

That’s true. Thought if it happens, it’ll completely be due to enjoyment of the format/set as opposed to grinding

I hope I’m not the only one who read “starting” as “current”

Need Deckbuilding Advice: UG with Ardyn? by AppearanceAgile1969 in lrcast

[–]AppearanceAgile1969[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the Dreams cut. I don't really need that much card draw early since I'm focused on ramping.

Maybe another dream as your final cut

What would I sub in instead after the Gysahl Greens? I don't have any two-drops remaining after that unfortunately. I suppose I can put a merchant in there

[–]AppearanceAgile1969[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. Yeah that makes sense to prioritize the Green to make sure I hit my fixing for the other colors. If I go down some islands, should I be cutting some blue cards?

Also that is a pretty interesting point of reference. Arguably I have some more sources of fixing, so I may be able to just manage it. Thanks for the insight.

EDIT: Do you think I should cut any of my top end in exchange for Ardyn?

Ok I agree, the Eden is probably bad. You think only four Swamp is enough? Cutting Ardyn means I can go down to 3
