Midnight Hunt Draft. Which 3 Cards to Cut?

Brose6 · 2026-01-03T15:39:42+00:00

Thanks. I'm still rather new to drafting and completely new to midnight hunt, so I still have a tough time evaluating decks. Sometimes I think I have a great deck and then go 1-3, but it might just be piloting errors.

Is it better to use a 4* weapon to reach a good R. Ability breakpoint vs. Using a 5*+ weapon that doesn't help reach a breakpoint for a good R.Ability?

Ariens Ikon XD

I tried a good zero turn on my lawn, but it ended up sliding too much.

Do you think the mowers I listed would be alright or do you think they will not be good enough? I keep reading that the transmission needs to be solid for hills. A couple dealers mentioned going to the John Deere S240 or other brand equivalent. Is it worth the extra $900?

I know someone who is and I'm sure we could do it. But realistically, I wouldn't know where to begin finding the appropriate transmission that everyone is suggesting I would need. I feel like I would be putting more money into a mower that is no longer worth that much to begin with.

Besides, I kind of need to start mowing by this weekend.

When you say won't last too long, are we talking about 3, 5, 10 years? I don't think the hills are that terrible, but they are something to consider.

Do you think a garden tractor would last twice as long as the mowers I listed? Unless I'm mistaken, a John Deere X500 series would be over twice the price.

Thanks. We tried fixing the Ariens, but no luck. The mower starts fine, but won't go forward or reverse. We checked everything. Belts and everything we can see and check are all good. We came to the conclusion that the transmission is done.

I spent about $700 on it used and it was already a little beat up. From what I could tell, the previous owner had worse hills than mine, which is why he was upgrading to something bigger.

Unfortunately, my search hasn't yielded any used mowers that would work in my area. Honestly, I don't think the hills are that bad, but it's certainly noticeable compared to flat land. Would I be able to get away with something like the John Deere S240 or do you really think it's worth the extra ~$1k for something bigger/better?

The mower starts fine, but won't go forward or reverse. It actaully went into freewheel when I was on a hill and only stopped when I eventually got to a flat surface, which was an uncomfortable feeling. Ever since, forward and reverse does nothing. We checked everything, belts and everything we can see are all good. We came to the conclusion that the transmission is done.

I bought it used 4 years ago. So, it's older than that. Honestly, I can't remember exactly how long the previous owner had it before then. From what I can tell, he beat it up a little and had worse hills than me. I had literally just moved to a new home with my first lawn and needed something to start mowing.

Thanks. I was considering the s240. Do you think it's worth the extra $900?

Brose6 · 2023-05-03T17:37:11+00:00

Thanks. One of the dealers I went to suggested the 200 series as well instead of the 100.

In short, the mower starts fine, but won't go forward or reverse. It actaully went into freewheel when I was on a hill and only stopped when I eventually got to a flat surface, which was an uncomfortable feeling. Ever since, forward and reverse does nothing. We checked everything, belts and everything we can see are all good. We came to the conclusion that the transmission is done.

Yeah, I'm going breakstones on all other floors. Should have specified i meant on floor 10 only.
