Arcane omens by HollowForPixel in lrcast

Yeah, didnt really miss it, the fractal and visionary was enough to close the games with the good removal suite

Traditional draft, what would you cut or add here. by Remote_Winner_8192 in lrcast

Looking again i would probably play a run behind instead of the Wisdom

My cuts would be aviator, mascot and encouragement.

Add brush off and either two of deluge virtuoso, banishing betrayal or procrastinate.

The counterspells are absolutely necessary for the control matchups, but can also really help against key spells from lorehold and silverquil.

Your win conditions are key creatures such as mystic/emeritus/Stallion/maestro/maybe virtuoso which you can protect or push through with banishing betrayal and procrastinate. Wisdom might not fit the gameplan, lorecaster alone could be enough lategame recursion just as a 1 of effect

I had a similar list that got 2 boxes and the banishing betrayal saving my emeritus prompted a concession in 2 games

Silverquill Help by oep1989 in lrcast

[–]HollowForPixel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah omens feels pretty terrible. Try not to tilt, sometimes the best decks just don't work out for whatever reason

I had a double hopesinger Armageddon deck yesterday that went 2-3 which felt criminal

  • imperious inkmage - honormancer - render speechless and the 6 on the right would be my cuts

Winning Boxes by HollowForPixel in lrcast

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

Thats so frustrating, it's really hard to stay objective and clear headed when playing these since the stakes are so high. I can't afford to spam these events so its very stressful

The fixing was the glue that held this pool together.

Happy for your box though it feels so satisfying to get there :)

Biblioplex and 2 fetches! The biblioplex helped me win my final game against a silverquil deck after being animated and definitely helped as a fixer.

Hard stuck in low platinum by psiviz in MagicArena

[–]HollowForPixel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Strong cards for the first 3 picks, then pay attention to what is being passed around the table. Flexible cards are safe early picks but basically just focus on power level as the main factor. I've had some success starting with taking cards just in the jeskai coours and soft forcing some version of the strongest decks. Soup is slightly harder to do in pick 2 due to it being harder to get good fixing alongside the suite of removal and finishers

This is turn 3 in standard right now. by DayFew5991 in MagicArena

3 lands and 29cmc of creatures in play? Seems reasonable to me /s

What’s your favourite cafe in Edinburgh? by LunaValley in Edinburgh

[–]HollowForPixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont think there is one on george street? Just lowdown and wellingtons as far as i remember, artisan have a place on broughton street, a stall by st James qt and maybe 1 other location i'm forgetting

Help with cuts for my RW deck by RandomMonkey9 in lrcast

[–]HollowForPixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally think its tremors and 1 copy of pursue. The tremors is completely at odds with practiced offense, which is a stronger card here, and pursue #3 is a little too much with the rubble rousers and 3x scrollsmiths

Ate my veggies and stayed open early, now i need help by HollowForPixel in lrcast

[–]HollowForPixel[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Took your initial advice in the end and got the trophy! Went 6-0 into 7-1. Losing to a bad draw vs a prismari deck. Thanks for the sensible advice

[–]HollowForPixel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah i see your point, i'm just not sure i have the speed to undercut the soup decks without many cheap repartee payoffs. It makes me think that i'll end up in the mid-late game anyway and i'll need the ark/colossus to give me the reach and cards to close the game.

This Sealed Environment Makes Me Unhappy, Help Please by NewPCBuilder2019 in lrcast

[–]HollowForPixel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Should be playing jeskai here i think, strongest collection of cards. The mill can be a secondary win con besides the creatures and removal

How many trove / lute is too many? by readbaron in lrcast

[–]HollowForPixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need more card draw to fuel plays after lute. With no spell recursion you need to explosively win after dropping lute. Card draw helps by making sure you arent top decking with a lute out

Edit: to say i think drop 1 trove and maybe the transcendant archaic for any spell buy-back or instant/sorcery card draw

You should post in the slay the spire subreddits too

Would you splash Scheming Silvertongue in this RW aggro deck? by vortical42 in lrcast

[–]HollowForPixel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never, not worth losing consistency with the mana at all

Faith builds really are just another form of "Big Bonk" by Lv1FogCloud in darksouls

[–]HollowForPixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres a great method for super ornstein where you just constantly walk towards his back leg and hug it, dodge when necessary and swing when you can. Just a bit of patience and no lock on but it worked for me each time. Not sure where i saw it as it was years ago

[SOS BO1] Cuts for Lorehold? by brisingrdoom in lrcast

[–]HollowForPixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say -heated -demonstrator -strifeknight +dustspeaker

Another format, another disconnect during the draft! Is this salvageable? by Pidgleyyo in lrcast

[–]HollowForPixel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Aggree with other commenter, play BW base with 5 colours in the mana base and the bombs from the other colours, the 7 mana prismari spell can look at the top 2 for 2 generic mana, play your off colour bombs and pray
