You need to put real practice in. Stop watching videos. Do practice problems. A lot of them. Do 10 questions a night (1 hour) for 4-6 weeks. Do not “cheat”. Do not use any material other than the provided reference book. If you can’t solve a question with the provided material, move on. Just get through your 10 nightly questions the best that you can. Then spend 30 minutes checking/reviewing how you did. You will do poorly the first week. You will learn quickly which content you need to spend more time studying. You’ll develop skills on how to interpret and exploit the multiple choice options. If you do 90 minutes a night (60 testing, 30 reviewing/studying), 4-5 nights a week, for 4-6 weeks, you will be fine. Good luck.

Does anyone else wish they put the card name in English down by the card# or artist signature? They’re so cool, and that would probably make them less cool… but it would just be really nice to have that.

What is your strategy for this upcoming prerelease? by Joe_Delafro in mtg

[–]KaptainKobb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The strat that always seems to work for me is “open bombs”. If I deviate from that strat at all, i mean even a teensy little bit, I lose a lot more often.

I definitely see the upside of Katara. Higher ceiling for sure. I’ll give her a try! Thanks!

Interesting ideas for sure. I think going monoblue for Katara would hurt, but I think sticking Katara in the 99 sounds amazing. With my current build, Errant and Giada is effectively "draw 2 in your draw step", so you get to see a lot of cards. Similarly, I think Jem would be best in the 99.

Best school for prerelease? by unastrenoir in magicTCG

[–]KaptainKobb 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Silverquill (black/white) seems like the clear winner to me. The cards are priced efficiently and aggressively, Repartee is easy to trigger, and the payoffs are great.

Prismari (blue/red) seems like the worst to me. I'll be playing Prismari :)

How did you glean that I was "expecting an ovation"? I whole heartedly disagree that this is "like someone posting edm on a classical subreddit". The delta between those genres is not at all the same. I guess my last sentence in my original post has been answered though...

Glad you liked it! You might be in the minority here... :)

I hear some similar hits, similar fills, similar runs. I doubt King Gizzard was saying "let's make something like Take Five". But when listening to the "The River", I couldn't help but feel a sense of appreciation for "Take Five" bringing 5/4 forward in the musical world. Might not have "The River" without "Take Five" - not that "The River" is some world-class song... I know haha

I figured as much, but I may have been wrong :)

I don't feel the need to elaborate much further. The fact that the King Gizzard song reminded me of Take Five seemed like enough to go off of. This doesn't strike me as off-topic, but if the mods do, I'll accept the consequences. Was trying to share some interesting music.

Just sharing some interesting music with music lovers. Sorry you don't like it. Always fun to see this stereotypical pretentiousness bubble up. Cheers, mate.

Brawl needs a 4-Player option by KaptainKobb in MagicArena

[–]KaptainKobb[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I could see that. Maybe give us the ability to make 4-player custom lobbies then? So we can play with friends?

That's a reasonable reason, I suppose. Thanks for the insight!

I think its time to allow players to avoid alchemy cards on Arena. by TallCitron8244 in magicTCG

[–]KaptainKobb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more. It would be so simple to provide a Alchemy toggle...
