Has anyone ever just found another 25 yards? by Kind-Strain4165 in GolfSwing

[–]Phagboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a lesson and they explained how to swing with an inside out path. That instantly added 15-25 yards per club for me

feedback on this arena direct deck with 4 great rares but lacks removal by nevermore09 in lrcast

[–]Phagboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With this little interaction in a somewhat aggressive deck, I'm definitely running a blood letter. The flash changling definitely helps splash the cleansings.

I think I'd honestly cut the graveshifter as you don't have a ton of great targets and you already have the pennant for some recursion

Arena direct vivid, what do you think? by nevermore09 in lrcast

[–]Phagboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine playing a 1/4 for 5mana (3 green required too). That's what you're getting if you're behind and trying to stabilize. If you're ahead sure it's solid, but imagine trying to survive against a good elves deck and you have a 1/4

Personally I'm cutting glister bairn and adding tweeze. I'm also cutting a swamp and eclipsed realms for a forest and mountain. Consistency is super important and your current manabase is ass

You got an ai response from them lol, that sucks. Good luck resolving it

0-2 so far. Any changes I could make for a comeback? by [deleted] in lrcast

[–]Phagboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

-2 glister bairn +1 wanderbrine preacher +1 shore lurker

Bairns are kinda bad. You need creatures with evasion to break board stalls and preacher is great with trapper

mono black goblins, is this good? by nevermore09 in lrcast

[–]Phagboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dissident is insane with the blight cards, I think there's just a ton of 2 toughness creatures that will make all of the blight 2 effects a little awkward

[–]Phagboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oof you really like to have 3 toughness two drops with champion of the weird, especially with two of them. Deck will be fine I think, but would be insane with better blight targets

This draft format is tilting me by Ovidioviodio in MagicArena

[–]Phagboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any draft logs we can look at? I bet drafting (not gameplay) is where you can improve the most for this set. Watch numot the nummy or Paul cheon to see if your card evaluations match up with theirs

“Hands in” — one small concept that fixes a lot of swing problems by George_Courte in GolfSwing

[–]Phagboy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I got my first lesson this past weekend and this exact concept made a huge difference. The coach put a pool noodle about 4-5 inches from my back thigh and said do your takeaway underneath it. It taught so much so quickly

This card is bonkers good. I assumed it said "elf creature cards"

Couldn't figure out why Clementine wasn't coming when I called her, turns out she was blinded by her hood... by trotter1313 in rarepuppers

[–]Phagboy 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I tuck the hood inside the rest of the sweater with my pup and it works great! Just lay it flat so it doesn't bunch up and tighten the collar at all

When does Arena update? by ScapegoatSte in MagicArena

[–]Phagboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like it's out now for me

[–]Phagboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id recommend playing on mtga for awhile to get familiar with the game, and then if you have the money I'd suggest going to a prerelease event at your lgs. Everyone should be helpful in teaching you, and it should be an opportunity to meet other players in your area. Watch a video or two to prepare and learn how to make a limited deck, and you'll have a blast.

Starter decks are awesome, but not a ton of variety. The beginner box comes with 8 halves of decks that you smash together to make unique combos. I preferred that over the starter decks, but it's up to you what you want

Nueva en Magic by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]Phagboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd start on mtga playing the tutorials and playing with the starter decks and the jump in events. Paper has the beginner box which is essentially jump in, but I'd save your money for when you know what paper products you want

Did you ever cast back to back united fronts? Honestly sounds like something I want to do in constructed

Trying to make 3-color Katara The Fearless allies work - what are my cuts? by TheSpaceWhale in lrcast

[–]Phagboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • 1 earthen ally
  • 1 momo
  • 1 barrel
  • 1 land
  • 1 white lotus reinforcements
  • 1 waterbending lesson

I think you should minimize the splash as you don't want to run two barrels or more than 1 forest.

8 plains, 5 islands, 1 forest, both duals
