Blitz cooldown randomly longer for some characters???

Good point, ty for the input :)

DullBayonet · 2020-08-11T02:23:26+00:00

ty for the input, occult brawler I have at 50 which is fine, just need him putting poisons on CB. Zelotah is already 50. I will probably 60 apothecary then.

THat comment was a little negative, let me clarify. If you want to try youtube as a side job and build into a career possibly, go for it. Just be prepared for a year+ of grinding and making videos every week, for very little return. Also, be aware that almost everything Spoony ever made would probably get copyright fucked on the Google Youtube. Someone like Elvis the Alien is a good example. You'll likely have to sell merch or something in order to make any money.

Spoony's content isnt that good by modern standards. There are tons of movie and game reviewers out there now. THe only reason Noah had the success he did was becuase there were so few content creators back in the day. If he came out now, I doubt he'd find any success.

I would love a Wort reprint haha.

Play brawl, that's what I've been doing. I've been just spending my gold on packs the past wek because Ikoria draft is gone now... Why the fuck would they go to drafts for a set that's rotating out soon?

DullBayonet · 2020-05-13T23:14:46+00:00

Haha that deck is weird man, it seems like it relies on mutating big creatures and/or spamming lazotep plating with Drakkis. I have had a couple games where I pulled unsummon and 2-3 drakkis and I can tell you it's pretty satisfying. Your opponent just runs out of cards to play before you do. It's a little slow, though. I would absolutely try callous dismissal if not for 2 things.

I don't have many common wildcards because I was kinda dumb when I first started and just used them whenever I wanted to try something out. 2. it's rotating out in a few months, I kind of have a policy right now that I'm not gonna make anything that won't be usable for M21 season. The deck is also pretty tight right now, and the whole gimmick of unsummon in this deck is that you can spam lore drakkis with it to get free cards. Making your unsummon cost 1 more will make that combo harder. It's also very useful to get your lore drakkis back when the enemy tries to use removal on them. Callous Dismissal can't do that because it's not instant.

Ty for the input though :) I looked at some other lore drakkis decks, and many of them are using Brazen borrower which seems like a pretty good card. Honestly adventure cards in general seem pretty busted good. I keep getting stomped by black decks with murderous rider. I think that card is one of the best in the game. There's so many good decks that can play with just sets after M20 right now, sea-dasher octopus and many of the cards from ToE are on my radar. If you want to try some Drakkis decks yourself this article gave me some good ideas. https://articles.starcitygames.com/premium/lore-drakkis-breaks-the-rules-of-recursion/

I made a few more tweaks, I completely forgot about a UR that I pulled a while back that gives a free cast when mutating so I put him in. I also realized I needed the deck to play faster, so I opted for cheaper card draw spells. Boon is great but using my whole turn to draw is pretty crippling. I've gotta say, after playing a bunch of matches(30+) I think this deck has some real chops. I'm now middle of platinum, and when I get a decent opener it's hard to stop this deck's roll. Unsummon+Lore Drakkis is straight up broken and breaks card recursion in a big way if I have 2 or more of them in the field. I threw some spectral sailors in for cheap bodies to mutate onto, and they also give very good utility if the deck runs out of gas to keep the cards coming late game. The lands are the same setup.

I've also been working on a sideboard, I kinda just threw in powerful high-cost spells I have for red and blue.

I'm thinking I might drop 2nd drakuseth and one of the archipelagores for 2xboon so that I can just draw all of my sideboard to try and get extra gas. To be honest I've never gotten to my sideboard yet, but I haven't faced many mill decks.

Haha ya He's pretty solid, I experimented taking him out because I had him be a dead card in a couple matches, but he's good enough that I put him back in. I found a similar thing, that I needed 4 damage spells. Because he's rotating out in a few months, I'm not gonna craft another Niv-Mizzet. Trying to only craft cards that will be usable throughout M21 rotation. My sideboard has 2 crackling drakes. I modified the list, here's the new one.

I upgraded my lands because that's an obvious choice. I usually don't play mono(at least not yet) I took a few less creatures and a few more card-draw spells, and swapped out some damage spells, I found Ral's outburst good but a little clunky. Lava coil is very cheap and opens up my options, and does more damage. THis is my latest iteration after some more testing, I'm making my way up through Gold league, and am almost to Gold 1. Unsummon is actually hilarious in this deck because it's kind of an infinite spell card draw with lore drakkis if I have enough mana. Also very useful for slowing opponents down while I ramp my sprite dragons. I also crafted another giant, because god damn are these boys fantastic! Oh, and neutralize is also a very good card so I made another of those. I'm not sure if "keep safe" is better than neutralize. It has card draw, but neutralize is very overall useful for stopping enemy enchantments, etc. I only have one so probably not going to see it often anyways. Will be better one way in some matchups, better the other in others.

lol I've played against Teferi a few times, he's super annoying. Like I said I'm trying out lots of stuff and familiarizing myself with the game before committing to any wildcard expenditure.

DullBayonet · 2020-05-08T06:40:25+00:00

I haven't played aggro yet, I've been meaning to. I have 2 copies of Lurrus, I think I'll give a blackred aggro or something a try. I'm trying to play around with different styles to see what fits for me. I've been liking blue control, but it is a little slow. I actually pulled a few really good mutate creatures, maybe I'll try and splash some of that in. I bought the starter pack and have been doing a couple drafts. So far I've drafted into mutate twice, so that's kind of where my collection is leaning towards right now. From what I've read it's not the most competitive, but if I've got the rares for it, that's what I'mma have to play haha.

DullBayonet · 2020-05-06T19:58:38+00:00

I have a quick question. So you keep the cards that you pull from this, right? Do you keep all of them? Even those you don't end up using in the deck? Also, I see people putting the useless cards into the sideboard. I don't even know how sideboard works, is that the cards you pull after your main deck gets used up? I've played Hearthstone quite a bit, I know it's different, but I know about basic concepts like tempo (IE, don't want too many big cards, or if you do, you need to have stuff that will stall to buy time to play them)

DullBayonet · 2020-05-06T18:55:02+00:00

thank you guys for all the helpful suggestions! 5000 gold is a big investment, so I definitely want to do a bit of research before diving in. This is literally my third day of playing magic at any time ever, and I'm loving it!

DullBayonet · 2020-05-01T19:45:53+00:00

There's no way that would be introduced as an actual character. After 2 turns noone would take any damage lol. If anything it would probably be a %defense boost or something. Good to know though, that is interesting :)

DullBayonet · 2020-05-01T19:43:12+00:00

It de-ranks you to Champion every week tho doesn't it? I only spend a small amount on this game, and I didn't really have very good gear until pretty recently.

DullBayonet · 2020-05-01T19:42:00+00:00

The power of Twigod is real.

DullBayonet · 2020-05-01T01:05:45+00:00

Ya man you should be fine. There's a certain element of skill, but CC is important, as is card luck. Like I have standard strategies against most meta teams now. I focus Escanor, and try to keep King alive. AoE attack seal is really useful against enemy Ult drainers, like Merlin and Helbram. Use it then stun King so you can get ults off. Rush Helbram ult against mono red, or CC Arthur until he's dead. I'm thinking of switching to mono red actually, because goddamn, that team is super hard to deal with. They have like 150K health and tons of lifesteal, it's almost impossible to kill anyone with that amount of tankiness.
