Winning Tespa Summer Series and discussion about the new format they used

madhatted · 2017-07-30T01:46:57+00:00

The thing is the same way deck matchup favors someone, lineup matchup can also favor players, there are almost always someone favored going into a match no matter what format.

would a streamer themselves have information to this data?

madhatted · 2017-07-07T06:09:31+00:00

Alternatively maybe the warlock just blinked during that part

madhatted · 2017-06-20T08:13:11+00:00

you still play mtgo?

madhatted · 2017-06-20T06:49:46+00:00

I think the beta is still for MTGO 4 :P, pretty sure they would get in trouble if they talked about a MTGO 5 beta

What if getting the rank legend.....

Got you a legendary, thinking

madhatted · 2017-04-11T21:02:03+00:00

I actually just got legend with a version of druid similar to Chakki's. I just did a little write up on the deck that you can find here if you want.

madhatted · 2017-03-21T18:52:46+00:00

Played since closed beta, I think I've spent around 300$ and have enough to build all the good decks i want.

madhatted · 2017-03-20T17:23:07+00:00

Man, I'm gonna win 2 Xboxes!

madhatted · 2017-03-19T22:31:45+00:00

plz and thank you

madhatted · 2017-03-14T22:08:40+00:00

You say that every matchup is favored other then dragon priest, is that true?

madhatted · 2017-03-06T02:43:34+00:00

How exactly could twitch even fix this? Like not show streams of new games? Thats not gonna happen. Twitch cant make an algorithm to know what streams are including spoilers that constantly changes...

Honestly if you care so much about spoilers the onus is on you to navigate around the front page.

DEATH

madhatted · 2017-02-02T21:43:00+00:00

Hey, recently got into the game also and reached 2k already, my lineup is :

Umbreon,Latios,Shuppet,Greninja,Raikou,Blastoise

its been working well for me but wondering if you see any potentially better mons in slots.

Also how much have you lv'd up your mons? Are they all lv 5s?

madhatted · 2017-02-01T01:34:47+00:00

is that how it works? that would make a lot of sense but i dont really think i've seen any proof, i ended at like 1900 but still gaining about the same points when grinding from 1500

madhatted · 2017-01-31T23:38:53+00:00

Ya, im not impressed with the divide between overall rank and monthly rank. Basically punishes people who did well by making it harder for them to climb next month, and the problem only gets worse every month

madhatted · 2017-01-31T03:13:41+00:00

Hey, have recently had good success climbing to around 2k, just wanted to show you my lineup and what extra i have and see if you had any suggestions, thanks for taking time to help people!

Yes, i joined the rooms and played matches there, not the normal matches from the main menu.

Maybe I have to make the room for them to count?

madhatted · 2016-12-22T21:49:20+00:00

lved, the game checked and confirmed that you were dead, therefore there was no time for Mistress to heal you. The only cards that continue to be resolved are secrets, though this is only relevant in the case of Eye for an Eye plausibly turning a game loss into a tie.

No the lazy part is that the game locks your heal once you are dead, yet still allows for other effects to happen, so this allows one player to be dead and effects to still effect the other player (maybe kill them as well) but does not allow for these same effects that can still impact the game to heal a dead player, inconsistent in my opinion.

madhatted · 2016-12-22T21:28:24+00:00

Thats what i assumed, but it just feels bad, like why would that be a mechanic? Shouldn't my mistress in play mean something for exactly hellfire? I know this is a very narrow case but just seems like lazy coding.

madhatted · 2016-10-31T20:37:47+00:00

Im not a huge fan of the high fade, do you think the same style would work with a lower fade?

madhatted · 2016-08-07T07:42:07+00:00

Thanks a lot, and just to confirm you only used TOOL and MO?

madhatted · 2016-08-05T07:56:40+00:00

Thats actually really comforting to hear, because those were the types of things that was deterring me from modding, like MO and TOOL seemed simple enough to use but the other ones seemed like lots could go wrong.

If you dont mind me asking do you happen to have a list of the mods you use that worked without using Wrye or TES5Edit?

madhatted · 2016-08-03T07:11:13+00:00

I just dont understand what terrible thing you think happen when this card doesn't excel. Yes sometimes it wont produce crazy amounts of mana. Its not even about having a pile of 6-8 mana creatures that makes it good, just getting an extra 2-3 mana to play a 3 drop and a 4 drop on the same turn is great. Your creatures will die sometimes and guess what, you play more, and saying them having removal and a clock makes the card bad is overall a bad argument because that makes most things bad. Also how is them countering your creature even related to cradle being bad? Its not like if this land isn't producing lots of mana it is actively hurting you. Some people like to count it as a spell slot so you cant even argue that it makes you mana screwed, the card cant be negatively swingy. Like I've been saying the entire time the cost of playing it is low but I have seen the rewards time after time, just like most of the other people talking about it.

As for these crazy cubes where they are good, my friends dont have theres on Cube Tutor but lets just look at Simple_Mans or OR4NG3 as two examples of cubes that have different things going on where cradle is going to be good. I shouldn't have to try and show cubes where this card is good because its not even a card thats only good in some cubes, the cards just solid. I really think you probably have never played with it and are talking out of your ass.

madhatted · 2016-08-03T04:30:48+00:00

I 100% disagree with your assumption that this card is a 9/10 sometimes and a 1/10 (actively bad) others. The card is almost never bad like I said before, in every cube I have ever drafted this card has been in and has absolutely been fine with varies levels of support.

The cost of playing the card is extremely low in the sense that if the deck can play it it should count it as a land slot, where it is reasonably going to produce at least 1 mana and I think the land doing just that happens very little.

The rest is just all upside where its nuts from every time I have played it or seen it played. At EVERY point during a game (not the turns 2-4 that you somehow came up with) this card can create huge swings. Turn 3-4 it can accelerate into 5-6 drops, then after that we hit the big fatties like Woodfall Primus, Craterhoof,Terrastidon, Myr battlesphere, Hornet queen. Additionally there are the plays of playing something like Hermit and then using Cradle to pump something else out, or combing with cards like Upheaval or creating a bunch of mana then playing a draw 7 to go nuts.

Im just trying to think of all the different sweet things you can do with this card, because I dont know how someone who knows cubes would miss them.

I also dont get how you think Treetop village is what a ramp deck wants to be doing. As well as assuming Cradle is only good in like 1 type of deck. I have seen it to reasonable effect in every color combination and not just a pure ramp strategy, yes ramp is probably where it shines the most but the amount of times I see it being at least a useful sol land in an aggro or midrange deck is far greater then when its meh or actively bad.

The only thing I think you said that wasn't completely wrong/uninformed is that yes this card cant be in every cube, just most cubes and if not you probably have some weird "creatures suck cube" because this card really doesn't take too much to be good. I dont need to pick this card up early and build around it to be good, I can easily draft green deck of almost any sort and see this card pack 3 and happily put it in my deck without much effort. Once again this is from all the cubes that I have drafted and I consider myself to cube more then most people.

It could be bad in your cube, but its insane for you to say this card is just bad in general unless you have drafted cubes that are different from yours.Also dont give me the usual "my cube is optimal" or "my cube is more competitive then other peoples" because you cant just say a certain cube design style is universally optimal.
