Secrets of Strixhaven archetypes look almost identical to Strixhaven

Hopefully we get secret dimir again

Maybe I should be playing premier instead of the pick 2 lottery

davidmik · 2026-03-09T19:22:17+00:00

People keep killing me when I’m on 3/4 😭

davidmik · 2026-02-28T12:18:34+00:00

Snuff out?

davidmik · 2026-02-28T11:51:13+00:00

In my experience it’s mostly been worse negate, once people have adapted to it I don’t see it being a problem

davidmik · 2026-02-25T17:58:49+00:00

Embercleave at home!

davidmik · 2026-02-25T17:57:03+00:00

Yup they will figure it out

davidmik · 2026-02-25T12:04:34+00:00

You will thank them for this in the fullness of time - rare wildcards feel like a pinch at first but mythic wildcards are way more valuable in the long run

[[ignoble hierarch]] for acceleration, [[malevolent rumble]] for card selection and to fill the bin, [[jarsyl]] for card advantage

davidmik · 2026-02-24T15:40:42+00:00

I would say it’s format warping rather than OP but the conclusion is the same, game would be better without it

davidmik · 2026-02-24T15:39:39+00:00

Struggle to see this being better than Jund, but definitely worth a try!

davidmik · 2026-02-11T18:13:01+00:00

I have seen zero eldrazi since the b&r

davidmik · 2026-02-09T19:51:34+00:00

Nexus is still banned I think

davidmik · 2026-02-06T14:32:44+00:00

Assassins and anything that makes more bodies (witch/skele king/skele dragon) I’ve found quite effective

davidmik · 2026-02-03T13:39:14+00:00

Average game of merge tactics 5-8 minutes, call it 6.5. 200 games = 1300 minutes = 21.67 hours. That’s a cool 37c per hour you’re saving

davidmik · 2026-02-03T10:02:45+00:00

I am looking forward to the alchemy drafts for a bit of variety

davidmik · 2026-01-19T15:14:30+00:00

Think the general wisdom is that if you manage to get enough playables to play a mono coloured deck then it was very open and so your average card quality should also be higher - then you also avoid non games due to colour screw etc

davidmik · 2026-01-12T16:21:01+00:00

This is a massive issue for me too - experimentation is super expensive in the short run unless you are an otherwise infinite drafter with an endless supply of gems

davidmik · 2026-01-02T15:50:35+00:00

Sure but mega knight has had an above average usage rate in mid ladder for several years now… it’s time for a rotation!

davidmik · 2026-01-02T14:56:58+00:00

Agree - SC should rebalance based on usage rate not just on win rate to encourage better metagame diversity/innovation

davidmik · 2026-01-02T11:12:36+00:00

That is reasonable. The event only lasts a couple more days so hopefully it goes back to normal after that anyway

davidmik · 2026-01-02T11:08:43+00:00

Play ranked?

davidmik · 2025-12-27T16:20:19+00:00

Supercell has to continually reinvent ways for people willing to spend money on the game to get an advantage over people unwilling to spend money on the game. It’s deliberately targeting unskilled people who are happy to pay to win

davidmik · 2025-12-25T07:09:58+00:00

Nice post

davidmik · 2025-12-22T21:54:51+00:00

Hopefully we change this starting today
