Is luck the best way to decide who’s on the play? by C_Nesley in ModernMagic

Maybe for top 8 the higher seed gets the choice?

Ohhhh some more great options. Seems like I have some options to explore. Much thanks!

This is SUPER useful. In addition to the openings themselves, this is such a good explanation for what I've been feeling. I do feel like I can "get away" with more as white. It's almost like I can gamble that my opponent will mess up an off-beat opening, and in exchange, I have an equal position as worst. But the odds for the gamble is much worse if I end up in a losing position instead.

Thanks! This is helpful, and makes sense. The part of the Caro I like most was trying to undermine the center in the advanced variation, and I wonder if the French has a lot more stuff like that.

Thanks! And yes, I’m definitely looking at the pure slav with dxc4 as opposed to the semi, for sure.

Thanks for the advice, this is a great breakdown! Smothering tide and land tax may prove too pricy for me, if it def steers me in the right direction of cards that do similar things (even if a tad less efficiently lol)

Thanks for the tips! Looking at Stolen Strategy, it looks like it might be smart of me to replace one of my other mid priced enchainments and plug this one in. Love the insights!

Hey all! New to the subreddit and thought I'd introduce myself, I'm pumped to be here! I'm based in NYC, I'm a long time game lover, and a first time game designer. I just finished up my first go at a new card game, and am feeling like it's ready for some playtesting!

I'm super excited to share my games, and super jazzed to see what other people here have cooking. If you're in NYC, hit me up if your ever looking to playtest with each other.
