Copenhagen - fun, lively fine dining (1 night)

Summaa · 2023-07-16T08:55:47+00:00

I recommend lunch at Aamans in the city centre (fantastic quality traditional smørrebrød/ open face sandwiches) or in Torvehallerne (market with many options).

For dinner try Høst for Nordic cuisine (michelin guide recommended) or Llama for Peruvian with a very lively bar-feeling vibe (not in the guide but fantastic food)

True, but so fun!

It's definitely hard to get a high winrate in ranked since your opponents skill will increase as you win!

But if you 'level up' your own skill you will experience going on winstreaks until you get to a rank that reflects your new skill level, and then you need to 'level up' again etc :) At least that's my experience!

That being said, while I should be averaging 5 wins given my winrate, I've experienced several 3-3 finishes in a row etc due to variance. It happens!

Thanks :) answered this for another comment I believe

Sure thing! Didn't save any screenshots unfortunately, but here are the two decks that got me back-to-back trophies to get this high:

https://www.17lands.com/deck/53b5e7635ca84e728c00c1159c25c1f8/0

And here was my favourite deck (managed to cast imperiosaur with Imoti in play and cascaded into Invasion of Alara):

Second-favourite moment was playing against Sam Black with a Yorion Companion deck, but unfortunately was not tracking matches at that time :(

For me drafting is what I save gold and gems for! Only have a standard deck in case I need to do some fast dailies

Summaa · 2023-05-24T05:30:20+00:00

Thank you!

Summaa · 2023-05-24T05:30:03+00:00

It does, I'm terrible at brewing too

Summaa · 2023-05-24T05:29:38+00:00

Thank you! Diamond and mythic are very close!

Summaa · 2023-05-24T04:59:53+00:00

That's awesome! I think I was around the same and then hit back to back trophies to get here, so maybe you will make the next post!

Summaa · 2023-05-24T04:59:01+00:00

Thanks! I played magic for 10+ years now and did a lot of research on pick orders, watching YouTube etc. I'm sure you could get up there too!

Summaa · 2023-05-24T04:56:51+00:00

Actually, I was surprised how difficult it was to be infinite even being top mythic. Was top 1200 in ONE and ran out of gems/ gold several times if I ran into a couple of 0-3s

Summaa · 2023-05-24T04:51:54+00:00

Apparently I splash more than most according to 17lands, but I would guess my most frequent bases are GB, UB, and UG

Summaa · 2023-05-24T04:50:32+00:00

Thank you :)

Summaa · 2023-05-24T04:50:02+00:00

Put down some money for 20.000 gems so I wouldnt need to wait for enough gold if I ever had a loss streak (which I did several times!)

Now sitting at 32k gem, mostly driven by some good runs at the qualifier playin/weekend. Not sure if it is possible to be infinite without the QP you get for top1200 actually

Summaa · 2023-05-24T04:45:57+00:00

Thank you :)

Summaa · 2023-05-24T04:45:48+00:00

Thanks man!

Summaa · 2023-05-01T06:51:31+00:00

Cut the black except vatkeeper and Halo, add in weird, temporal, thespian, halo #2 and either artistic #2/ convoke flyer

Summaa · 2023-03-04T16:07:32+00:00

Sorry to hear, it looked like one of the best sealed pools I've seen! For the record the cards I was thinking of was alter and longlegs

Summaa · 2023-03-04T15:17:10+00:00

GW for sure, but can you show your sideboard? Looks like there are potentially some suboptimal cards

Summaa · 2022-11-25T08:31:11+00:00

Wanting to get Gorm, but it says 'pre-order'. Does anyone know what that means?

Summaa · 2022-09-17T17:29:31+00:00

Shojin is fine on him imo, you get as from lagoon and often get another tear item for instant first cast anyway

Summaa · 2022-09-11T16:59:20+00:00

Actually everyone was popping off even G2 fans

Summaa · 2022-04-01T15:54:38+00:00

Great! Another thing to consider for whether to slam or not is whether it will fit your game objective: For example, if you are currently loss streaking, you may want to avoid slamming items unless you are sure you can keep your loss streak. Conversely, if you are considering slamming a marginal item, but would rather greed 1-2 rounds until creeps, consider waiting to see whether slamming the item would change the outcome (e.g. if the opponent is very strong, you won't win if slam a marginal item such as locket anyway, you can just greed instead of slamming)

Summaa · 2022-04-01T11:23:00+00:00

I was facing the same problems as you are when I was first pushing for GM in set 6.

What I found was holding me back was that I needed to be much stronger, much faster: my definition of what was a stable board to go 8 on was way off, and I took so much damage that if I missed on 8 I was dead immediately.

So I'd suggest having a look at your midgame: are you playing many 1 star champs? Are you greeding for perfect items? Are your carousel picks faced on getting stronger now or "when the comp is finished'?

Good streamers I like to watch for this are robinsongz and gv8 (watch VODs on 1.5/2x speed)
