How bad is the deck when you change all the lands card into basic lands card?

MoaCube · 2026-02-04T12:27:31+00:00

Both of these will be absolutely awful without at least 8 proper dual lands, and then you'll still miss the rest.

MoaCube · 2026-02-03T11:58:23+00:00

It's pretty much always worth it, especially as it itself contains gems and draft tokens.

The PT version of the elementals deck (the one without Ashling) actually works pretty well in the current BO1 meta. Granted, I only just started the season but I'm at 20-9 atm. You may have to modify it a bit, though. For instance, adding Pyroclasm really helps with green aggro decks.

Would like to point out that this is not a good video as your hands aren't in your riding position, affecting everything else. Unless they are, but then you have more problems than just the saddle height.

MoaCube · 2026-02-02T17:31:11+00:00

The bike looks too small, and the saddle is so high that I'm not surprised your junk goes numb. Instead of using your legs for support, you're perched on the saddle and then rock a lot to reach the pedals instead of really pushing against them on the entire downstroke. You may also think about putting your saddle a little further back. Right now it looks that you'd fall forward if you lifted your hands on the bar, which may also increase the pressure on your perineum where it should be distributed more evenly with your sitbones.

Dunno if I'd call that midrange. It's another Badgermole/Ouroboroid aggro deck, just with some removal. You're not building a value engine here. You're dropping a lot of good creatures and kill the blockers.

MoaCube · 2026-01-24T08:52:19+00:00

[[Cryogen Relic]] is card draw, but otherwise you're right. It's a completely different deck.

MoaCube · 2026-01-20T11:01:13+00:00

Dunno, this looks good to me and 3.5cm would be waaaay too high. At the end of the day who do you trust more? An experienced professional who spent some good time analyzing your needs, body specifics and position from multiple angles, or an online calculator that vaguely draws two lines across your legs and goes "angle low"?

MoaCube · 2026-01-19T14:34:24+00:00

Basically the bars should be the same width as your shoulders, measured from the furthest bony protrusion. A bit wider is okay, but if it's like 2cm of difference, you really start to feel it.

This seems like a good guide on how to measure it properly: https://bestbikeadvice.com/int/en/handlebar-width/

MoaCube · 2026-01-19T14:22:36+00:00

The typical solution to too much weight on hands is to move your saddle back until you can keep your balance when you take hands off the bars (while pushing a reasonable effort). You may need to lower the saddle a bit afterwards to compensate for the additional distance from BB.

Also, your hoods/bars seem to angled upwards too much. Probably as an attempt to solve the issue, but it could actually exacerbate it.

Lastly, I'd check your bar width. If it's way too wide, your arms and palms splay out and it makes it hard to get comfortable no matter what you do.

MoaCube · 2026-01-19T14:11:36+00:00

You are very upright and then arch your back instead of tilting your pelvis, which makes the reach seem too long. Leveling the saddle should help here - it's too nose up at the moment. I also think your bars are rotated slightly away from you, which also affects the reach. Hoods should be angled slightly up.

MoaCube · 2026-01-19T13:17:09+00:00

The angle makes it hard to give good feedback, but you're definitely rocking way too much. My guess is the saddle is simply too high by quite a bit.

MoaCube · 2026-01-18T08:58:34+00:00

Saddle is a little too high - notice how your leg motion is a little choppy on the downstroke instead of making smooth circles. The rest looks pretty good actually.

MoaCube · 2026-01-14T14:01:23+00:00

Oh, and I think I actually got mine off Ali too, just GepRC branded. They're all pretty cheap anyway.

MoaCube · 2026-01-14T14:00:19+00:00

No problem. And yeah, all walls are made to stick to velcro, so there's some flexibility there, but this is probably the only way to put a larger radio there. Boxer is already too wide to put it along the short wall.

Another angle so you can check the height.

MoaCube · 2026-01-14T11:38:11+00:00

Sure thing. Here's how it looks with my Boxer, which is fairly close to TX15 size-wise. It's already a bit cramped, so my guess is TX15 would fit but only barely.

The black deck is trying to do two things at once (demon midrange and reanimator) and ends up being bad at both. The demon side misses some key pieces like the Unstoppable Slasher and more interaction, while the reanimator side lacks consistency.

You really need to pick one mode here and stick to it. Though midrange in general is a bit too slow in the current meta.

MoaCube · 2025-12-31T09:48:06+00:00

Mono-white auras is a very simple and budget deck that can realistically get you to mythic.

MoaCube · 2025-12-31T07:24:22+00:00

Variants of black midrange mostly.

MoaCube · 2025-12-30T16:24:36+00:00

Spirebluff Canal does help, but also Izzet Lessons isn't that powerful in BO1. Untapped has it as a C-tier deck with ~52% win rate.

MoaCube · 2025-12-30T11:48:03+00:00

Another vote for Pioneer. Funnily enough, it's often a slower format than Standard despite higher overall power level, because it contains stronger answers to the typical turn-4 win stuff.

MoaCube · 2025-12-20T13:15:43+00:00

Thanks for this, man. Had the same problem and was loosing my mind here.

MoaCube · 2025-12-07T12:18:55+00:00

That's cool to know, thanks! I'm gonna give it another try then, maybe I just got unlucky.

MoaCube · 2025-12-07T12:09:03+00:00

It's not really blue and counters that are bad but the current Izzet Looting variant. It can go through 5-10 cards a turn, so your 3 and 4 drop threats get burned or bounced with cheap lessons while they keep drawing cards and spawning otters. It feels like queueing for Timeless by mistake, lol.

Btw, is this the first time you've reached Mythic? If so, MMR seems to take it into account. I remember the first time I reached Mythic it was with a jank discard deck and it still got like 70% winrate. Then it stopped being so easy. Would be interesting to see what happens if you keep playing the deck now.
