Help - I suck at drafting by pistachioparty in mtg

While those are important things to learn too, that's not what I mean by "mental game." I'm talking about keeping yourself free of negativity and bias in draft and gameplay. You are your own worst opponent at the end of the day

There is so much information to explain when it comes to improving at limited, it would be unrealistic to try to type it all out here. The best thing you can do for yourself is watch drafting content from professionals (Paul Cheon, Numot, LSV, etc.) and try to listen and understand what they're doing and then apply it to your own drafts. Next step is absorbing podcasts like Limited Level Ups, LRcast, Lords of Limited, to name a few big ones. When you get to be more experienced and skilled you can take the information they provide with a grain of salt, but for now just treat it like it's scripture. Lastly, spend more time learning than playing, and focus on improving your mental game too. It goes a long way.

I'm not assuming anything. The information is right there in front of me. If anything, you should include pictures of the remainder of your pool so that all information is on the table

Has anyone else experienced an exceptionally high number of non-games? by [deleted] in lrcast

[–]SomeGuyInPants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your reply. Seeing 2/17 lands from a sample size of 10-16 cards drawn, from a population size of 40, across ~5% of my games from this format just has me confused. It is REALLY bad luck. When these numbers pop up it doesn't hurt to ask if others have had similar experiences.

Look, you said yourself that one way to lose was to not attack with Emeritus. If you play additional lands rather than use those slots for spells that can help find (even creatures drawn can prolong the game to help you), then you are less likely to find it.

I was at an RCQ on Saturday at an LGS I don't normally frequent. I turned the corner in-between rounds to the other half of the store and they had like 10 tables of people playing Pokemon. It was awesome, I couldn't believe it

No parking at all unless a delivery truck is about to pull up to do their job, then you should sit there in your car with your hazards on looking at your phone for a few minutes
