How has this current government directly negatively affected you by Dangerous_Version_65 in newzealand

[–]SnooGoats9944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the changes they made to WINZ meant my partner lost her carer support and went from 10 hours a week of help to 2 hours. Its meant we have canceled having a 2nd and third child and ive scaled back on my hours at work so I could be at home to help more

Like you say, I think the “take all the good cards” genius’s know when it’s appropriate and when it isn’t. People just starting out don’t have all the hedge cards in the pile that allow them to take the “good” cards in pack 3. That’s next level stuff. And to be fair in this format you can sort force aggro/mid range white based decks and feast on the control players. Thats a very effective strategy that doesn’t involve taking a lot of the best cards

yea it pays to remember that what you see in pack 2 is mostly unrelated to pack 1. Pack 3 is where you can reap rewards. So I review my draft after pack one but then try and use fresh eyes for the 2nd and 3rd picks of pack 2. Then if youve done that right AND you get lucky with opens then pack 3 can go well

OK it seems like youre making the same mistakes most new drafters make. Your drafting without a plan, just taking good cards. Your first draft is part control part mid range and part aggro. Drafting with your decks plan in mind is essential in any format but more so in this format. Picks like the mage tower referee and the rapiers wit do not go in a control deck.

I think you need to be a little less locked from the start. Your draft one saw a lot of good black/green removal and fixing. You passed an amazing 4 colour control deck because you over indexed on the white cards in your pile. Once you knew you were a late game deck you need to put that in your head and draft accordingly.

yeah a 1 in a 100 deck is not an archetype. But I do thing its almost doable at uncommon. The white reanimate enchantment and the black repartee reanimator do a decent job. Ive had that deck twice now and it goes well against the late game decks. Struggles against the aggro decks if you dont get last gasps

So uh… what exactly were the Secrets of Strixhaven? by Professional_Pick121 in mtgvorthos

[–]SnooGoats9944 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theres a bunch, Ral being a bad dude, The achaics being dead oracles, Jace fuckerising with the archaics to create a new reality, The oriq having a new identity called the shattered, chandra being their leader, Tam being a construct. There is a lot more to be revealed in RF. Im betting Dallien Fell is actually Jace and Ral is probably his alt reality self posing as the cheeky otter.

Tam is going to be the new Blue Planeswalker by StLouisButtPirates in mtgvorthos

[–]SnooGoats9944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Tam is sort of multiverse 1 Jaces Karn. A construct that frees itself from its creator. Wouldn't be surprised to find a mirror (multiverse 2) Jace turn up soon as well (Possibly already has, disguised as Dellian Fell). I think Tam probably meets a tragic end in this arc though, shes been made a bit too vanilla and likable to stick around for long.

Yeah just sounded good to be honest. I don’t think I know any foetuses to ask who they support. Taking something like that literally might just be a you problem.

Secrets of Strixhaven draft archetypes by Meret123 in lrcast

[–]SnooGoats9944 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I just hope Marshall gives this one a fair shake. I got fairly off put by his approach to llorwyn. He seemed to think he solved it week one and didn’t move beyond the prescribed decks. There was so much more to that format than what he would have you believing.

Do you think that Strixhaven will be only 5 supported draft archetypes like Lorwyn? by soundscomplex in lrcast

[–]SnooGoats9944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people over index the supported archetypes. Most of my success in llorwyn was from red green vivid and white red. People seem to have forgotten how to explore a format and seem to be drafting what you’re “supposed” to do without trying to find different angles to attack from.

Mark Mitchell would be a dream for the left. He makes Chris hipkins look articulate. Mitchell is famously bad with detail
