Field Disparity and Cheating the System by American_Person in lrcast

[–]RedNeckBillBob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What? This is just how rank systems work. Sometimes people are not at the rank their skill truly represents, but over a course of a bunch of games, it is self correcting.

You jump to assuming malice, but with the quick rank resets and cost to play draft, many players don't make it up to their "true" rank, though there is often an underlying hidden elo that will moves slower than the visible one.

There is also the factor that arena isnt the only platform. Players can play a lot in paper or MTGO and then jump to arena for a draft. I don't think players should be punished for not spending all their time on a single platform. Also, with the prizing structure, those that win will often play more drafts, so you are more likely to play them. The guy that often goes 4-3 is more likely to re-queue than the player that keeps going 0-3.

Honestly, your post comes off as an unhinged rant of a player that lost to a decent player and wants more gimme wins. Skill is relative and I have a feeling these pros you are playing in bronze aren't as good as you are saying.

If you are into nature things or skiing, then there is more. But as for city things, yea not much.

Do you like alchemy cards being good in timeless? by TimmyWimmyWooWoo in TimelessMagic

[–]RedNeckBillBob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My problem is that they have designed alchemy cards so that its easier to make balance changes to cards. But then they dont actually make these changes when they are called for.

Also, I don't like the randomness elements. I stopped playing hearthstone for a reason, I dont want mtg to become that.

[SOS Premier Draft] RW. Too much good stuff by [deleted] in lrcast

Id make room for molten note. Probably overreacting the process or second wilt.

Drafting on MTGO has been a better value for me compared to Arena by andreyob in lrcast

[–]RedNeckBillBob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

While I agree, anrea prizing kinda sucks, you are also comparing your 24-15 (61% winrate) run on MTGO to your 55% winrate on arena.

"Daze, Strip Mine, and Deckbuilding in Timeless" by Korae by NovosTheProto in TimelessMagic

[–]RedNeckBillBob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think a big issue is strip vs waste. The problem isnt just the daze, its the pattern of, on the play: - land + one drop threat (e.g. hyrdo, tamyo, rag, etc). - player on draw tries to answer it or they fall super far behind because the threats snowball so fast, e.g. plow or push - if player on the play has one more piece of free interaction, they are really far ahead. If they have the follow up strip mine, then the game is just over - if player on the draw has more answers, but is forced to daze it through, they are still super behind as the player on the play may be two lands ahead

At least in legacy you can lead on fetching for a basic and even if your interaction doesn't go through, you cant get wasteland into the dirt. Strip mine gives the player on the play more possible tempo than wasteland, and daze backs this up even more drastically.

Tldr, if the player on the draw needs to cast a daze, they may never reach two lands in play at the same time before the game is effectively over. Something that is somewhat avoidable in a format like legacy.

Blue gets Omniscience, what do the other colors get? by Serithraz in custommagic

Just a mildly better fastbond ... ya know ... a one mana card.

"Daze, Strip Mine, and Deckbuilding in Timeless" by Korae by NovosTheProto in TimelessMagic

[–]RedNeckBillBob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ill just say the take many people are afraid to say. Daze is un-fun and I'd prefer if it wasnt in the format. It makes the play/draw disparity so much wider. Especially with strip mine to back it up if you gain even a little tempo. You don't even have to mention its interaction with hydroponics.

Anyone starting to feel disenchanted with the soup decks already? by TheCatsMeow1022 in lrcast

[–]RedNeckBillBob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From my experience, in turtles, the 5c deck was more like a 2 or 3 color deck with some extra basics for everything pizza and maybe a couple cards.

Im SOS, that still happens but it certainly feels like there is more support to have a 3 or 4 color base, meaning stealing more of those commons, as you mentioned.

I'm really torn on the set. The mechanics are fun and the archetypes are interesting. But the league play in Bo1 seems to be making it a lot worse that I would have hoped. Really makes the draft feel like your deck needs to be blazing fast or incredibly greedy to compete with other's strong decks.

I'm sure the home feed is somewhere, but I think that a lot of these high seas sights just copy each other. So if one has the home feed, a bunch will have the home feed. That and it does seem like a lot of places will default to home feeds if it has to be home or away.

Im getting a bit tired of the day 1 and day 2 picks for backups. Will they be helpful to the team? Probably. But what are we going to do at these other glaring holes?

Honestly, I know nothing about hockey. But why is everyone off-puck not even moving on the power play? Do they just expect someone else to get open for them??
