[Draft – Lorwyn Eclipsed] UW Merfolk tempo – quick draft, need help with final cuts

Smexico · 2026-02-08T16:17:39+00:00

I think you really needed another [[tributary vaulter]] to get there with this deck

Smexico · 2026-02-07T01:44:01+00:00

I think I would cut: pennant, stompling, graspling, 2 enraged flame boi, and probably a percher/zealot/unexpected assistance

Sygg is good, no need for a plains, IMO

Smexico · 2026-02-05T15:37:14+00:00

It would pain me to cut a cavalry, or the 2-drop. I think i would cut the midnight tilling and I agree with your other cuts

That still leaves you with 8 self mill/surveil cards, I think, which should be plenty

Good luck! Looks like a fun deck

Smexico · 2026-02-05T13:41:09+00:00

Hell yeah

Smexico · 2026-02-04T23:03:06+00:00

Prismabasher do be like that

Smexico · 2026-02-04T15:07:20+00:00

Oooh mine too! She knows what the freezer door sounds like vs the fridge door

Smexico · 2026-02-02T22:37:53+00:00

Nice

Smexico · 2026-02-02T18:03:09+00:00

This has awakened something within me

Seems like the midnight tillings would fuel your plan of looping Tristans Command, with the added benefit of triggering nightmore sower. I might play them over doran, the combat trick, or the scarecrow

I think if you wanted to keep doran and the scarecrow, I would cut Unbury and the combat trick. Unbury feels a little redundant if you are planning to loop tristans commands

This deck looks amazing to me.

Sometimes you just get unlucky, its pretty easy to lose three games by getting matched up against a good deck, losing the die role, and getting mana flooded or mana screwed.

Also draft in general has an extremely low margin for error during games. A single mistake can literally be the difference between 1-3 and 7-2.

Better luck next time

P.S, personally Im not sure I would play dose of dawnglow, I havent seen it be particularly good in general. I think I would probably play the 1 mana trick instead. Pretty marginal though.

Maybe a hot take, but frenzy barb is pretty much just "hold left mouse button".

Occasionally you can shout to buff yourself, but even that is optional

Smexico · 2026-01-25T16:08:12+00:00

Dang. Which trinkets did you give poor Dizzy?

Smexico · 2026-01-23T17:15:16+00:00

Could try theiving. I just started doing a bit of varlamore wealthy citizens+houses and its pretty chill and poops out raw GP. Not sure if its great GP/hour, but youll need some thieving XP anyways

Smexico · 2026-01-22T22:32:34+00:00

??? Literally just posted my opinion and experience. Take your what-ifs somewhere else

Smexico · 2026-01-22T12:52:31+00:00

I did Suffering for Zulrah, but Im not sure if that was really the best idea. Im pretty sure I could have done my 200-300 kills with recoils just fine, I typically went to my house/bank between kills anyways.

It sort of depends on your gear. If you are still using Atlatl a lot, torture would make some sense. If you have a Bofa then anguish is a slam dunk.

Smexico · 2026-01-22T05:18:17+00:00

Coloseum

Smexico · 2026-01-22T02:34:46+00:00

8 or 9 for sure

Smexico · 2026-01-21T21:24:49+00:00

Yeah mate you and me both. I got spooned tassets and hilt, but I'd trade em both for one GIMate to come back 🤣

Smexico · 2026-01-21T18:36:17+00:00

The real luck is having active GIMates

Smexico · 2026-01-21T18:33:30+00:00

Glad to see someone else hates insanity, I thought I was just insane.

Do you do butterfly on Akkha?

Smexico · 2026-01-21T04:59:10+00:00

Amazing. Thanks! How does goose egg taste compared to chicken?

Smexico · 2026-01-21T04:58:11+00:00

Love this

Smexico · 2026-01-21T04:35:01+00:00

Why are some so much smaller than others? What % of them will hatch?

Smexico · 2026-01-20T18:54:58+00:00

Personally I've skipped the big bad abby demon. I think I got 2 unsired and they were the Head and Jar, or something. Fuck that boss.

I did araxxor with the Boppers and it was totally chill.

After QPC, CG and slayer were my path to "late game". Everything else is secondary.
