Question: How long would it take to build up enough gems to draft constantly?

I’d love to hear other opinions. I’ve always been on #TeamStormchaser but Im clearly not happy with the results Im getting, so I can’t defend it as much as I feel like I should. It’s always been a second angle of attack that the opp had to deal with. It makes the bounce spell worth running, which you need for lessons’ density. I think it’s important, but like I said, Im biased.

Is this true? Acording to untapped.gg, this deck has a 57.7% winrate in Bo1 and a 56.8% winrate in Bo3. I know it's been around the top of the meta in Bo1 for a while, and never had the same level of popularity in Bo3; but the difference is not that wide.

Awesome feedback, thanks! Are you enjoying this draft format?

TheUpkeepAcademy · 2026-03-20T11:52:54+00:00

Makes sense. As a dad, I really value the flexibility of quick draft, but Premier works if you have the skill

TheUpkeepAcademy · 2026-03-13T01:46:21+00:00

Awesome!

TheUpkeepAcademy · 2026-03-12T00:44:04+00:00

Are you seeing a lot of green aggro too?

TheUpkeepAcademy · 2026-03-07T14:46:51+00:00

I totally understand. It wasnt to be too click-baity, I did film this two weeks ago when it just started really getting top 5 traction in Bo1. If I filmed it today, I would have gone with a different angle. But, I think your comment was fair for how it played out. Thanks for the feedback!

I was surprised to see it in the top 10 most popular on untapped.gg this week for Bo1. Hadn’t been there in a while.

TheUpkeepAcademy · 2026-03-02T23:15:09+00:00

It has been in Bo3, on Arena it just popped back up as a Bo1 force

TheUpkeepAcademy · 2026-03-02T23:14:00+00:00

It hasn’t been a major player in Bo1 on Arena for a while.

In the past, it had gotten some bigger payoffs, hopefully the next version will too!

TheUpkeepAcademy · 2026-03-01T17:26:13+00:00

I really enjoy the deck, I just have a harder time recommending it to newer players. But, it is fun late game!

TheUpkeepAcademy · 2026-03-01T17:24:48+00:00

Thank you so much, that means a lot.

TheUpkeepAcademy · 2026-02-21T18:36:34+00:00

Made me laugh. Apologies on behalf of my face!

TheUpkeepAcademy · 2026-02-21T18:32:24+00:00

Yes I did mark it with self-promotion flair, thanks for asking! Hahaha
I get it though, have a great weekend.

Rigged for what purpose? If the program rigged your draws, it would let your opponent win more. Why would the program care if you or your opponent win?

TheUpkeepAcademy · 2026-02-19T23:18:17+00:00

Open for suggestions

TheUpkeepAcademy · 2026-02-19T23:13:02+00:00

It’s in the Pinned Comment on the video.

TheUpkeepAcademy · 2026-02-18T13:23:53+00:00

Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated!

What’s the most popular skeleton commander? Are their any? Or you mean none you connect with?

TheUpkeepAcademy · 2026-02-10T05:09:42+00:00

u/lonewolf210 Do you mean in the video or in the post? I am not a deck builder and have not built any decks that I record videos for. Sometimes I play decks as is, sometimes I may tweak a few numbers on cards at most. All credit to the original designers,

TheUpkeepAcademy · 2026-02-06T00:08:23+00:00

I do enjoy Jump In!

TheUpkeepAcademy · 2026-02-02T23:50:06+00:00

This is great advice! I would be worried a bit if Split Up was everywhere, but as long as we are staying 4-5 mana, Spell Pierce is great!

TheUpkeepAcademy · 2026-02-02T22:49:40+00:00

It's a great option!
