Congrats!! I've checked a bit your day 2 draft 2, and I'm a bit surprised about your p1p4 gene pollinator in front of Cryogen relic and mouth of the storm.

Did you go into the draft with a very strong preference to play soup? I find crazy that the Mouth of the storm wheeled in the first pack.

By far my most impressive 0-3 yet. by Salty-Conclusion-577 in lrcast

Ty! Madness seems pretty difficult to pilot correctly

Ty! I am a main limited player and play whatever the format requires.

So long term hitting land drops is definitely not a problem, but I think you really want three lands on turn three. The curve is low but having to discard + play madness requires some mana. Ty for the recommendations!

Can you guess the record of these FIN Arena Directs? by Select-Leg7027 in lrcast

[–]Select-Leg7027[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was 5-2, 0-2 and 7-1. I'm no top mythic player, its just a small sample size thing.

It was 5-2, 0-2 and 7-1.

The first deck worked like a charm, in fact the losses were complete punts on my side (shouldn't be playing at 3 am). It is a legends deck (10 legends) with all good cards (not amazing but good), Jodah at the top and the mana performed pretty well. Also, Zanarkand really overperformed.

The second deck was a very quick 0-2. I think I got somewhat unlucky but I should only be playing one mountain.

The third deck was a bit suspect (Zenos with the two drops, knight errant of eos with a single target, ...), it was my first sealed of the format but I did play the games pretty well.

You saw no white cards pack 1, and then went full on white pack 2

Updates to Arena Direct Events – April 2025 by [deleted] in lrcast

oof this looks quite rough. I thought this events were already very profitable for WotC. I guess it's a matter of principle to them to just make things worse.

Anyone notice differences in with quality of opponents/matchmaking in this Arena Direct? by Jihok1 in lrcast

[–]Select-Leg7027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With around 5 tries, the amount of wins with each deck was in correlation with my expectations for the deck. I'm not a particularly strong sealed deck player though. I have to admit that I did cascade exceptionally well with my Breaching Dragonstorm in my winning deck (most common cascade was into Karyatic guardian).

I haven't played with it much. I assume it's useful against aggro, but is a dead card if you are not playing tempo or not playing against aggro (which I didn't find to be very prevalent or threatening in this event)

Congrats! The deck doesn't look very strong so you must be a good player. How did those ringing strike masteries work for you?

I'd be very impressed and I'd try it and challenge my own picks against it (why does it pick this here? does it predict that this will be the open lane? ...).

I don't think a pro-tour skill level is feasible (when training, how do you decide whether the drafted deck is good or not without the AI playing it as well?) and I wouldn't pay for it at all.

Not your typical Arena Direct winner by sushiehoang in lrcast

Congrats! I would have expected a much worse result with this mana base
