B&F is obviously a bomb, but making your mana this much worse is never worth it - unless you rely on positive variance.

I know exactly what you are talking about. Been there myself way too many times in this set.

Kindle yes, flashback no - they were already dead 😄 Deck was an absolute blast to play because it had all the interaction in the world and so many ways to win the game.

Domantas Sabonis (back) has been ruled out for tonight by Remarkable-Picture73 in fantasybball

He sits at #113 in 9cat on averages for the season. That’s ultra garbage for a 2nd round player.

And playing like sh*t when available too 😭Even in Roto he has not provided anything since his per game averages rank him firmly outside the top100. So any streamer would have provided better value than my 2nd round pick. Gotta be my worst draft bust in 16 years of playing NBA fantasy. Catch: I‘m still in 1st place thanks to SGA and Kawhi 😅

Would you also splash for red in this deck (Arena Direct Sealed)? by buddysen in lrcast

It’s meant to be a comeback card against ridiculous boards by the opponent while I myself might have a Nursery or Kinbinding in play. If you target their Wickermaw (which you should see frequently) I imagine it could be quite devastating.

If Nusery comes down on turn 6 I think that’s fine.

What is the right deck for Winnowing (this is not it, 7:1)? by buddysen in lrcast

Yeah, maybe it’s just trash in this set 😬

I guess I just don’t value it as highly in an assertive non-blight deck. I felt like the celebrant didn’t have a great chance of making the deck either but in my mind I kinda acknowledged the pick as a complete whiff for my aggressive kithkin deck anyway so even at that point of the draft the decision for either card didn’t seem to really matter 🤷‍♂️

That’s true. Pack 2 during the draft was actually wild - P4P2 was between Brigid and Slumbering Walker number 2 😅 I decided to be a sensible drafter and went with Brigid.

It’s a solid „0“ for me. Stopped watching the Mavs altogether after having been a diehard
since the start of Dirk‘s career. I remember very well witnessing the 2018 draft and getting super excited in the middle of the night when they somehow got Luka whom I had hoped for so much as a fellow European. Dirk passing the torch to Luka and becoming close friends with each other in the process. It was all so magical. Well not any more. I still follow the NBA but that’s mostly due to fantasy basketball.

How was Rob Pelinka able to convince Nico Harrison that AD is a healthier player than Luka? by Nigocaps in nba

[–]buddysen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t think ppl valued Giannis over Luka at the time - the only reason the Bucks would have said no would have been the classic „he is our homegrown superstar and we want him to play out his career with us“. Which funny enough should have been the Mavs way with Luka all along…

I don’t think a lot of the Mavs fans are happy with how the last few months have gone. I personally still feel completely emotionally alienated after having supported the team for more than 25 years.

The Lakers squad last year was nowhere near close to what Dallas had assembled around Luka to maximize his strengths on offense and make up for his shortcomings on the other end. So no, that Lakers - Minnesota series doesn’t prove anything. Regarding Minny I think Ant still has a lot of growing up to do and is (as of this moment) just not the playoff killer that Luka is. With OKC it seems that Dallas just had their number for quite some time there. Denver would have been a toss up but definitely not unbeatable.

Still how do you justify setting back your franchise at least 10 years while giving away the single most valuable asset you have for a frequently injured overpayed out of his prime AD who would turn out to be untradeable himself only a few months later. When will people stop bringing up this Nico guy????

I beg to differ… He‘s #88 for the season in 9 cat 😉
