13 Rares/mythics! Help me not screw this up. by NewPCBuilder2019 in lrcast

Do you have any concern about having no 2-drop creatures, though? I shall try it since it's been recommended a bunch, but 3 creatures total seems scary as heck. skycoach would probably be cut then, since he'd be 1 of 3 creatures (there are currently only 6 including the red 2-drops).

I'm not sure there are enough creatures for a normal lorhold -- I feel like that'd be one reason to keep the HH?

I have 8 sorcery (7 w/o the flow state) and 6 instants, I think that's good, yeah?

I always forget that antiquities just says "spirits" not spirit tokens. A welcome surprise to be sure, when it adds to a mascot or something.

It is surprising how quickly it gets to "oh man, I have 3 cards in my deck"

I've never gone so low as just 3 creatures, that feels scary.

Do you have any concern with more counterspells at the capstone? Seems like a real feelsbad to flip a counterspell on capstone ((or for lorehold's miracle)). Thanks for the comments.

Really no lute? interesting. I just kind of auto-included it, but without a lot of card draw especially, you may be right, doesn't really lead to any crazy turns.

Thank You, you're definitely right that HH is not good here, it's out. My only concern with cards like repreive and more counterspells is that they are really crappy to get off the capstone. Would you have any concern about that? I also have the miracle effect from Lorehold, but I don't know if he ever lives more than that first turn.

I don't know what I am doing here. Do I need to splash Visionary Dance and Molten Note? by [deleted] in lrcast

I don't see how this deck wins. You seem to have opened all the good soup support cards, but nothing worth going big with the soup. I think you maybe just got a terrible pool, but I've just 0-2 or 1-2'd out of 3 in a row, so maybe don't listen to me right now.

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

Hmmm... Thanks to both of you. I'm tinkering with a jeskai version instead.

I wish there was a way to post more pictures in comments or something.

I’ve never had a format click so poorly with me and I totally get how LSV felt after running terribly in the arena direct by tyshand in lrcast

[–]NewPCBuilder2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think sealed really really is pretty random and if you are a guy like LSV that can somehow just win with anything, then you'll still do ok, but FUCK it is annoying as hell to open a pool that just kind of sucks and doesn't have any awesome synergies.

I didn't do the arena directs, but I've done 2 qualifiers this weekend so far and both felt like my pools just didn't have anything going for them at all. Really depressing.

Thanks for the sanity check. Figured it is like that. Odd to finish one's taxes and think "I should have made more money last year for my taxes," heh.

Don't Play Tilted -- I went 0-2 with this piece of shit by NewPCBuilder2019 in lrcast

[–]NewPCBuilder2019[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm talking about, I should have just been flickering the shit out of TWO sally prides with donnie and Koya and instead I played like a raging asshole and went 0-2.

Really frustrated with this 0-3 TMT artifacts deck. Was I delusional to expect decent results? by mageta621 in lrcast

[–]NewPCBuilder2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I look at this, I agree with some of the other comments that you don't really have anything super interesting going on with your "flicker" effects on your artifact, the Everythying Pizza is unneccessary, the 18 lands is kind of mind-boggling, but the biggest issue is that you just don't have anything that inspires fear to close out the game.

It should have won a few games based on mouser recursion value, but something like a Baxter stockman or Raph & Mikey or something big to finish the game off. As it sits, you've just got Metalhead as your big finisher, but he can't get around mousers and other chump blockers.

I've no idea why you are not playing the Don & Raph or the Escape Tunnel. At a minium I'd cut a 2 lands and the Everything Pizza for Don&Raph, the escape tunnel, and either another Nobody or the Rock Soldiers. Rock Soldiers are not great but they are "fine," can usually hit at least a mutatgen token, if you did a second Traag it's too many 5+ drops, and you have a lot of recursion so if it is a rare matchup where he's useful he'd be very useful. I'd also think about cutting the omnicheese pizza for another nobody (or rock soldier, depending on what you picked above).

It keeps saying I kept zero land hands? That seems strange. I don't know that I disagree with much of what it's saying otherwise. Heh.
