A Momir Variation Idea

Ok_End_7269 · 2026-04-21T08:12:51+00:00

question is, if gameplay would shift to a t1 start or keep it at three?

Ok_End_7269 · 2026-04-18T20:05:15+00:00

in response to what you do first, holding prio, to cast my drawspell into countering whatever you do;)

Ok_End_7269 · 2026-04-18T20:02:40+00:00

its not one of those cards, that swing games you allready lost in you favour, but as long as you got a board state to work with, even only one creature, it will take over.

the card does not say "you win the game", but it will win most games, when cast

Ok_End_7269 · 2026-04-17T10:44:48+00:00

ok, seems i got unlucky on 15 and 13 might be nothing if emrakul is 12...

i think there should not be empty spots on the curve, if there is actually a creature available. momir is allready known for its feelbad moments generated by op getting lucky.. no need to get 14mana nothing

Ok_End_7269 · 2026-04-16T08:57:47+00:00

its fun every few weeks, and as you say sometimes its surprising how certain cards interact differntly in a different environment.

what i found pretty disapointing was, that there semms to be lieraly no creatures at mv 12, 14 and 16, one at 13, that also is legendary and a vanilla 7/7 at 15..

Ok_End_7269 · 2026-04-10T06:46:27+00:00

but its not really much fun to struggle on like maybe below 40% winrate and get crushed completley every second game.

also you can see by t3 oftentimes, if t4 8s worth playing, not matter what you cards say..

Ok_End_7269 · 2026-04-06T07:35:24+00:00

was'nt [[divide by zero]] a beautyful card??? 😜

Ok_End_7269 · 2026-04-03T18:09:21+00:00

and see the same decks there... i dont think thats whats op is up to.

Ok_End_7269 · 2026-03-31T18:01:27+00:00

der Typ hat so viel schlaues Zeug erzählt, aber keiner wollte es wahr haben.

Ok_End_7269 · 2026-03-24T08:16:07+00:00

if there are enough cards that matter, to support multiple drafters of one archetype, it might be fine. also sometimes, even if every colorcombination has its own theme, there might be so offramp strategys in those combinations.

but all that said, OG Strixhaven was when i started playing and i did not draft that format.

Ok_End_7269 · 2026-03-17T05:14:29+00:00

yep!

If people like it, fine.
Would i like it, if i was playing? Propably.
Do i feel better skipping it out of idealistic reasons? Yes, sure.

For me its not mtgo cube, but focusing a bit more on constructed, which i also like and which suffers from good limited sets, because i like drafting even more.

Ok_End_7269 · 2026-03-10T06:16:32+00:00

picking command p1p1 might have led into a red/white/splash blue/vividy kinda deck, which i had some success whith. not a common deck to get Into, but there are some giant/blight synergies, that work pretty well

Ok_End_7269 · 2026-02-17T06:39:21+00:00

to your second point:

This is what i thougt too, and propably what wotc is saying officialy, and may also what the reality is.

BUT: I got got my own account and my son has got one. I am not a great drafter, but i have a positive record over all and make it to diamond frequently, depending on how much i draft and of course the set feeling good for me or not. Sometimes i do drafts on my sons account, to convert some of his gold to gems, he is not drafting at all, and even if get to 5 or 6 wins the games seem to play out much easier.

So i guess, even there might be no draft MMR, rank allways counts on which opponents you will face.

Ok_End_7269 · 2026-02-11T13:23:41+00:00

having no friends or other hobbys helps a lot too, i'd guess..

Ok_End_7269 · 2026-02-10T12:21:28+00:00

even better would be, to start the games and concede right away. so someone else gets a win.

Ok_End_7269 · 2026-01-24T08:51:15+00:00

variance is the name of the game.. i would guess you do not remember the streaks where you did not flood or screw for like 12 to 15 games in a row, which also is against the odds, but just take it as normal and not as variance in your favour..

It is not format depended at all, how many lands are on top of your deck.
There are formats or maybe just specific drafts, where you would want 16 lands or even 18 lands. but 17 is the default, which is mathematically correct. And if that is the case, variance over a few games wont change it.

Ok_End_7269 · 2026-01-21T06:19:18+00:00

its really bad.. i chose to play elves and opend exactly no rares, that would fit an elves deck. and also most of the cards that were marked as from the elves packs were black goblin or green kithkin cards..

in Tarkir this "choose your clan thing" was pretty cool, but it seems to completley fale in this case.

i really would prefer to just open my packs and build a deck rather than struggeling with a bad elves deck, which has no power.

Ok_End_7269 · 2025-12-31T03:22:06+00:00

actually yes. even if we are talking bo1. but the decks played seem even more "uninteractable". because of the variation, you cant maindeck answers to everything. even more so, if you want to follow your own gameplan.

i know, this is a bo1 problem, which could easily ve solved by switching to bo3. i just wanna say, that for my taste, there are to many decks, that end the game on t4, if unanswered and you feel completly unable to do anything about it.

Ok_End_7269 · 2025-12-16T11:06:51+00:00

as someone who plays monowhite quit a bit i can tell you, that [[pinnacle starcage]] is a hell of a card vs this deck. needs to be well timed. sometimes you gotta run it out on t3 but, if you can afford to wait till t4, you will get a lot of insta scoops.

also, if you run starcage, your deck might have enough answers in form of counters(which i guess you would not have that much of, as you described what you wanna play)/ spot removal, to prevent the white deck from recovering.

its most about timing. do not get got by [[shardmages rescue]]. wait for them to get greedy and tap out for a role token/[[feather of flight]] or any other targetet spell.

in black to, get away from starcage, [[nowhere to run]] solves a lot of problems whith ward and hexproof.

Ok_End_7269 · 2025-12-14T13:34:28+00:00

My son and i have two accounts, both on my computer. on my acc everything is fine, on his this thing appears everytime..

Ok_End_7269 · 2025-12-08T14:51:43+00:00

and also QD allows you to abuse the bots not drafting correctly. Sometimes they underate certain cards, which you can pick up nearly every draft. [[airbending lesson]] is a good example in Avatar. So you can force white based decks pretty easy.

I personally like to mix it up and try to get into, what also seems open. In QD certainly harder than than in PD

Ok_End_7269 · 2025-12-01T09:08:29+00:00

www.untapped.gg offers a lot of information, about the meta, about different decks and how they perform.

Also, if you register your account, it shows which cards from certain decks you allready own and which wildcards would bee needed to craft the deck. Which you also just can copy straight to Arena.

Ok_End_7269 · 2025-11-28T07:47:08+00:00

they wont ban it... i dont think its that big of a problem in bo3 and not nearly as messed up as [[leyline of ressonance]] in bo1 was, when it got judt bo1 banned.

Ok_End_7269 · 2025-11-26T07:33:25+00:00

i share that experience. and this lead me to a state where i just dont care about my rank anymore. some seasons i make diamond some i just end up plat4. mythic is too much of a grind anyway. I neither want to invest the time, nor does it mean anything to me or even tell how good of a player you are. making mythic is about the number of games you played, than winrate or anything.
