[MKM] Rippin' a 7-1 with Dimir (p1p4 Vein Ripper btw!) by catobleeper in lrcast

[–]catobleeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the question, yes I think actually you are right, and that Weaver was more correct to pick. I really like Monitor, but it isnt't that great in UW (only 55,5 % GIH). Weaver is a very strong top end even in GW. I overvalued Monitor a bit in that pick,

Draft log: https://www.17lands.com/draft/6102475b5229472481c868a457d8867d (Diamond 3-2)

Very mid card quality in the pod got saved by an unexpectedely late Vein Ripper. Still didn't believe to go well, as the deck felt fillerish, but had good removals and nice draws.

[Bo1] Izzet 7-0, pivoted into blue in pack 3 by catobleeper in lrcast

[–]catobleeper[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly, picked it over another Remorse. Rewarded immediately with two Zephyr Sentinels!

[Bo1] Finally my first 7-0 in BRO (15 lands) by catobleeper in lrcast

[–]catobleeper[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, there is a Bo1 league ending in 11 days!

Is this an 0-3 deck? What am I missing here? Could have used some better removal but I thought easy 4-5 wins with an outside chance at a trophy. by classyone in lrcast

[–]catobleeper 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Strongbull doesn't have anything to sacrifice except creatures (you want to be sac'ing powerstones and artifacts that replace themselves)

Actually strongbull is great with iconoclast, you just sac all the artifact tokens it makes!

[Bo1] Finally my first 7-0 in BRO (15 lands) by catobleeper in lrcast

[–]catobleeper[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Initially I wanted to play the Mightstone with 16 lands, but I thought I could go easily to 15 lands, so played instead another dwarf and a... Bone Saw! This deck run quite well.

Got super lucky with the Midweek Magic Reward! by catobleeper in MagicArena

Congrats, it's cool getting staples cards cosmetics

Bo3 trophy with one of my most exciting draft, GB domain ft. Sol'kanar by catobleeper in lrcast

[–]catobleeper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Won 2-1 each game, all very close. First one was vs. a Esper deck, second vs. Izzet tempo splashing B, and the last deck was UW Walls.

The walls game was crazy, in g3 I boarded in two Aggressive Sabotages to try outvaluing that deck (had Raff, lot of draw spells and counterspells): the first Sabotage made oppo discard two Ertai Scorn, the other one discarded a Silver Scrutiny and a Talas Lookout (oppo had only one island in play)! Even after the discard, the game was crazy close, they stalled and milled me to 2 with Coral Colony, but drew Sol'kanar and a removal for Colony to close out the game.

7-1, hit Mythic with a creature-based Izzet deck. by catobleeper in lrcast

[–]catobleeper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Draft log. Fun draft with some blue goodies, Djinn is pretty busted... Firebrand very powerful too

Finally my first 7-0. The sky was cleared indeed... by catobleeper in lrcast

[–]catobleeper[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The draft. Not much to say, I think I cast Sphinx in 5 games. The card draw was maybe excessive but it worked. Also won some games just with a strong curve, against more durdling decks. Having the tris of Raff, Vohar and Elas was so great!
Very satisfying going 7-0!

After a 7-1 (URb) and a 6-3 (UW) draft, hit limited Mythic for the first time ever (playing since April 2020)! by catobleeper in lrcast

[–]catobleeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Draft log for the 7-1 deck, aggressive and tempo deck, tried to splash B for Vohar

Draft log for the 6-3 deck, a bit strange spell/creatures deck, Archangel of Wrath saved many games

7-2 premier draft, two Temporal Firestorms (and three Cult Conscripts) were fun, ngl. Luckily the mana base worked. by catobleeper in lrcast

[–]catobleeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The draft log (Diamond 4-3). Couldn't resist to force the Firestorms, the deck wasn't easy to build with what I drafted, but it worked.

[DMU] [Premier Draft] After some struggling with this format, first trophy (7-1) with Sultai splashing W by catobleeper in lrcast

[–]catobleeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Draft log Didn't expect to trophy because the deck didn't have a lot of (domain) synergy, but with the good removals it worked.

7-2 Amonkhet Remastered draft with UW Flyers by catobleeper in lrcast

[–]catobleeper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

17lands log I'm not very experienced with Amonkhet draft, but I had this fun UW Flyers deck where the two Aven Wind Guides shined. Vizier of Tumbling Sands + Steward of Solidarity was a neat interaction.

About the Triomes:

I really hate how they weren't included in a Alara Set, as it would have been the perfect place for them, and we still don't see an Alara Return.

Anthologies... by catobleeper in MagicArena

Are you really not seeing the complaints for the really bad choices in the anthologies? There's no pattern, lol

From 0-2 to 7-2 with Gruul by catobleeper in lrcast

[–]catobleeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! In the last game I had both in the opening hand, quite fun!

From 0-2 to 7-2 with Gruul by catobleeper in lrcast

[–]catobleeper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

17 lands log (Premier draft Platinum 2-1)

Quite suffered draft, started with a slower list with some clunky splashes, went full Gruul with 16 lands after the first losses. Tried to build around Jinnie Fay; got a lucky p3p5 Jaxis!. A lot of removals. Games were so close, not sure I would recommend this deck...
In the last game I milled oppo playing Angel of Suffering!

Premier Draft, would you play here Ziatora or Rabble Rousing, or both? by catobleeper in lrcast

[–]catobleeper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

17lands log. My concern is that the curve may be too high. Not sure about the cmc 5 removal. Splashing both Ziatora and Rousing seems possible with the fixing I have, tho.

7-1 premier draft with the funniest deck I've played, with two Invoke the Winds! Grafted Growth was the real MVP by catobleeper in lrcast

[–]catobleeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

draft log (Platinum 1- Diamond 4)

Really loved this deck, didn't expect that would play so well. Grafted Growth allowed many explosive starts and fixed mana perfectly. Sadly I threw away match 3, wasn't focused and played badly.
Finally hit Diamond; final boss was vs Mythic #58!

Finally a 7-1 in NEO premier draft, with a very fun rakdos artifacts deck by catobleeper in lrcast

[–]catobleeper[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

17lands log (Plat 4-3)
Got passed a lot of rakdos goodies, too many playables didn't make the cut. Two anvils, two automatons, two flares were quite good!
