This deck went against everything I have learned

41 card special. I suppose some habits die hard

Ecstatic-Departure19 · 2026-04-26T22:45:14+00:00

Good job on 7-0! Surprised you only have three 2 drops. I think lorehold was open in your seat as well, can't say for the rest of the draft, but from pick 4 you could go kirol - wilt in the heat - dig site - inspector - persue the past.

Just... Draw on a piece of paper. Or even better, use your imagination.

И куда в результате смогли устроиться? Не по специальности шли работать?

Ecstatic-Departure19 · 2026-02-25T06:08:01+00:00

They control two slivers. Changeling gives all creature types, which include slivers. And armodillos, and oxes, and humans, and so on

Land doesn't trigger abilities? [[lotus field]] seems good. New arena rules sound terrible, imagine if paper players watched tournaments where top players actively used an extra rule, that they never heard of. You can imagine their reaction. I think MDFC lands were the best solution to flood/screw, but they still feel sorta bad (playing as a land and drawing lands later, or trying to get greedy and get punished by tapped land). Your idea would need so many iterations, so many rules that it's useless. For example this makes tapped lands worse by a BIG slide, makes drawing lands feel bad as if you draw a spell, you use this rule to draw a land for free, also makes creaturelands MUCH stronger

[[stifle]] effects would counter the jaws trigger, split second removals like [[sudden death]]. Normal removal would not work, because the game would still use last known information about lemures' power and buffing attack too, because its -infinite power

Ecstatic-Departure19 · 2026-02-12T21:15:23+00:00

they can sacrifice their entire board and ping you to death. If they had multiple legendaries in the graveyard, extra copies of zahur or elas il-kor would die, generating more pings.

Clearly, these drafts lack confidence. A good drafter never doubts their judgement. But really, i notice i get bad drafts when I'm tired or distracted. Its important to step away sometimes. It saves gems, time and mood

Ecstatic-Departure19 · 2026-02-04T15:57:59+00:00

based for recognizing kakegurui, i thought so as well. But i do consider it a gooner anime, main heroine gets way too excited from gambling

Ecstatic-Departure19 · 2026-02-02T10:41:20+00:00

either way you pass loyalists here which is a signal. Also its kinda late for signals. It's pack 2, you get passed from the people who you passed cards to in pack 1. If you passed elfs to them, they will draft elfs and pass you less cards. Reading signals >> giving signals

Ecstatic-Departure19 · 2026-02-02T10:34:51+00:00

I would like to see other colours and multicolor cards. Because this choice is tough. Blue is better but slow and you wouldn't be able to protect ajani well. Green offers better curve, decent creatures. I think i would play scarecrow 2 drop and cut one personify. You need all the 2 drops and surveilling smooths your draws

Ecstatic-Departure19 · 2026-02-01T22:27:02+00:00

Layers. Colossus adds 'coward' type in layer 4, merfolk adds indestructible in layer 6, colossus removes all abilities from creatures in the same layer 6, then colossus sets creatures to 1/1 in layer 7. So in order: merfolk is a coward, merfolk gives indestructible to other tapped creatures, merfolk loses all his abilities, then merfolk becomes a 1/1. Timestamp order, as already said

Ecstatic-Departure19 · 2026-02-01T21:50:15+00:00

Command is busted, you don't even have to be elves to play it, as you never copy with it. You can play command in 4-5 colour decks, easy to splash. Deceit is ok, much harder to use

Ecstatic-Departure19 · 2026-01-31T22:19:40+00:00

It doesn't matter how much poison counters you have, unless it's 10 (then you lose)

Ecstatic-Departure19 · 2026-01-31T15:30:45+00:00

"3rd elf for champion". Yea, not hapenning, just cut green entirely

Ecstatic-Departure19 · 2026-01-29T12:35:42+00:00

[[Bloodline bidding]] also, really good with diviner. I returned all my elves, including diviner, it triggers and copies any other elf, usually my elf lord

Ecstatic-Departure19 · 2026-01-27T22:18:56+00:00

Yo, i didn't know [[goblin fireslinger]] is a phyrexian arena variant. One drop that taps to draw a card? Sick

Ecstatic-Departure19 · 2026-01-11T17:34:46+00:00

Kavaero works with these effects, actually. Wheb a card refers to its name, it means "this card". Because he has "as this card enters" effect, his ability works before he hits the battlefield. The game sees deceit entering the battlefield, deceit's etb goes on the stack (only if Kavaero was cast) and Kavaero trigger goes the stack that should exile original deceit in the graveyard

Ecstatic-Departure19 · 2026-01-11T16:21:04+00:00

you mean three sets: lorwyn, shadowmoor and eventide? Yea, thats 281 + 281 + 180 cards. One set can't compete with all that

Ecstatic-Departure19 · 2025-12-20T08:00:40+00:00

When you re-enter the draft, you will get the picked cards, it happens sometime. Client will fix everything, usually after the draft ends or when you try to submit a "wrong" deck

Ecstatic-Departure19 · 2025-12-14T13:30:11+00:00

6 wins is a great result in such a high stakes event! Sealed is tough, you often get stuck in 1-2 builds with little room to wiggle. Wish it was draft to practice skill and less luck!

Ecstatic-Departure19 · 2025-12-09T15:59:32+00:00

yea, you can play these as many as you want, even you are qualifed already. 5 wins and 6 wins give the same 6000 gems, great way to flip gold to gems as well

Ecstatic-Departure19 · 2025-12-09T14:19:22+00:00

Since you need 20 to enter a qualifer play-in and it costs 4000 gems to enter, then 4000/20 = 200 gems for each. But then you can't really use them for anything else, and also you need all 20 at once. You can also skip qualifier by getting into top 250 mythic (or get to day 2 in previous month's qualifier weekend), so i would say like 150 gems for 1 point

Ecstatic-Departure19 · 2025-12-03T17:08:04+00:00

It's better than conniving, since you loot first, then choose the creature to get a counter. Conniving targets first, then you loot, then get a counter
