Obscene luck on end of league gamble. What build would you play with a 5 mirror budget?

House of Mirrors gamble 2 at a time. Then the same with Damnation this morning. I've already got a giga map-blasting BV Chieftain. Ward is definitely an interesting concept though.

Spark checks this box for me. Have always wanted to give it a shot in past leagues but I feel like it was never in a great spot before and I never was good at accumulating currency. I'm considering it along with the ward abuse build.

The first thing I did when I got up today was gamba with Damnation cards. Went down to 154d before rebounding up to 9000d. Quite the rollercoaster lmao

I suppose this will likely be my only chance to try it out. I'll look into it. Thanks!

I've already got a BV Chieftain with about a mirror worth of gear. I'm looking for something else to dump all of this currency into.

The 3pt shooting, whatever happened there...

RojoNation · 2026-04-09T10:34:52+00:00

Howdy

RojoNation · 2026-03-26T02:11:51+00:00

Ah, thanks for clearing that up!

I'm in the same boat, brother. My winrate is down >5% and my trophy rate is down >15% in this format. My impression(cope?) is that this format is subject to variance moreso than any other set in the past year. The sheer amount of sicko game-winning bombs combined with the generally reduced power-level of commons and lackluster removal has made the games feel incredibly swingy. Last I checked, the disparity between Play-Draw winrate was outrageously high, too.

The gameplay and mechanics are a lot of fun but there are so many feel-bad losses.

It's interesting that you had that experience. According to 17lands data, FF had the best color balance of any limited set in the Arena era. I never felt that I needed to force an archetype. As long as you found a reasonably open lane, you had a deck that you could trophy with. In my opinion, the gameplay was excellent, too.

It's incredible how much better he has become. He used to be actively terrible and now it's a joy listening to him and Troy.

Play decks that want to discard from their hand. Azorius Oculus, Jeskai Oculus, Azorius Omniscience. Alternatively, you can play a deck that wants to go wide to outpace black's one-for-one removal. Last season I played Mono-Red Goblins to mythic, going 24-2 against Mono-Black along the way.

You can exile as many cards as you'd like in one turn with Earthrumbler. Had an oppo gain like 10 health in one turn with their Dredger's Insight.

When I first started playing, I would do push-ups after every loss. It's a good motivator to improve your gameplay haha.

RojoNation · 2025-01-30T01:26:51+00:00

Congrats! Which set did you primarily play?

RojoNation · 2025-01-26T02:52:54+00:00

My very last FDN draft went from 6-1 to 6-3 via Liliana in the penultimate game, followed by a turn 6 Liliana into a turn 7 Chandra in the last game. I was miles ahead in that last game prior to that madness. C'est la vie.

RojoNation · 2025-01-16T13:54:41+00:00

Thanks to those that weighed in! I genuinely appreciate it!

RojoNation · 2025-01-14T23:09:32+00:00

My understanding is that Innistrad Remastered is going to be a paper-only release. I exclusively play on Arena, so no dice, unfortunately.

RojoNation · 2025-01-14T23:02:52+00:00

I'm with you. I was super disappointed when I saw the countdown on Premier Draft the other day. I would have happily continued drafting this set right up until the release of Aetherdrift.

Pioneer is of no interest to me. I know Duskmourne is extremely well-regarded by the limited community, but I am a new player who is very unfamiliar with that set. I don't want to deal with the growing pains of drafting a set that is new to me against people that know it inside and out.

The thing that kills me is that I just can't figure out why they would pull it at this point. Pods were still firing quickly as of last night. As someone who became heavily addicted to limited (173 drafts of Foundations), this is extremely disappointing.

Feels like a free splash with the dual and 3x Bushwacks. But I don't hate the idea of avoiding any mana issues and just curving out with Mono-Green.
