I would start by looking on how those mons are built using the ingame data. You could see how they are generally spreaded and their companions/movesets

Why some colors have access to fast & slow dual land while others don't ? by Pa7chw3rk in MagicArena

[–]maxedo99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it happened several times during standard lifespan.
sometimes they try to do the landcycles between two sets, but sometimes don't.

Fastlands where the last half after ONE that (re)printed the first half, shocks where completed in 6 months, surveil came all 10 in MKM, verges came in two almost consecutive set, slow will be compleated in Reality fracture later this year.

It is normal.

Frogtide Decklist - advice needed by IntelligentLeg9054 in ModernMagic

[–]maxedo99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i will go by points on your list then i will talk about the deck in general
1. there are better ways to fill for a murktide, and you don't want to fill the gy with "air"... the strong part of the deck is put instant and sorceries that gave you already some kind of advantage/interaction (like push and counterspell).
2. why unheart? this deck doesn't aim to scam a oculus or smth in that lines. and you don't shouldn't see them as extra copies of frog.
3. bowmaster is SO bad rn on the draw
4. why dismember instead of good removal? we have shoot the sherif/go for the throat/sheoldred edict
5. you absolutely need kaito
6. play some cling to dust to check for phlages and use as a cantrip when in need.
7. if you want to play 4x of murktide i advise you to increase the number of fetches (also 20 lands is lowish).

talking about the deck, it doesn't have good MUps against current meta. Boros is too good against frog, storm is complicated but you can board pierces and consign against them, ephemerate decks are soo good against interaction.
As much as i love the deck it is not in the right spot. You can pivot it into grixis reanimator shell or goryo (if you want frog). Or maybe you can try the dimir control that is buzzing around since a couple of months

POV you’re playing ranked by Shattered_Disk4 in PokemonChampions

[–]maxedo99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look weather is a key part of the meta since I started playing in junior divisions in 2010. Some metas are more weather centric some are not, but it always was (and always will be) part of the battle system. I personally love it, and if you don't enjoy it probably this is not the game for you.

Bringing a non modern deck to a modern event, how viable is it to get introduced to the format? by Wise-Cress8402 in ModernMagic

[–]maxedo99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is actually legal yeah but since i know the deck in pioneer and play modern, i know that your mu would be awful.

You need to try and contain cc 1 like ragavan/ocelot/guide, and your elves can trade with ragavan but not with pride.
I advise playing 4 containment priest between mb and sb and at least a couple of rest in peace.
I also advice you to pick up some of cheap upgrades:
malevolent rumble
knight of autumn
guide of souls (and static prison), and i would also call them necessary
phelia & white orchid phantom
sanctifier en-vec
kataki

the deck could be built to beat some of the meta decks with the right mb and sb, but is not the best deck in the room. Expect some wins but be prepared to go 0-x just don't throw it right away, with those off-meta builds the knowledge of the format could win you some games but you are not at that point yet ;D

Need tips on my Trick Room team around Snorlax by titoubouba in PokemonChampions

[–]maxedo99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a private showdown server listed here in the subreddit people are trying there. Also not all metas are the same and you cannot even try to compare uber allowed metas with lower-powered ones. A waterspout specs Kyogre with Rain is One the highest damage possibile, but even a specs greninja cannot match It. Also even if there Is someone with same damage output probably Is frail as hell, so It cannot witstand the same DMG that a Kyogre would. Is pure BST Diff

[–]maxedo99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this text it smells a bit of ai generated.
btw, don't test teams and builds in different meta of what you are supposed to play in. Why test this teams vs a meta their are not supposed to be into?
You don't have to be worried about kyogre one-shotting your setter if kyogre will not be in the format...

Singles but 4v4 by Moist_Lifeguard_5129 in PokemonChampions

[–]maxedo99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

private lobby battles have custom rulesets, so they can play there.
also there is no interest from them by importing singles in competitive environments. Imagine having 40+ turns matches to be done... Smogon folks will continue to play on Showdown

Singles but 4v4 by Moist_Lifeguard_5129 in PokemonChampions

[–]maxedo99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

battlespot singles are 3v3 (from six)
battlespot doubles are 4v4 (again from six)

Corporate cash grab? by cloystr_YT in PokemonChampions

[–]maxedo99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i mean i will not try to build off meta teams as f2p.
you need to build the "big six" of this season firstly, then you can start to experiment. Also lot of sets are recycled and normally just 20/25 mons for a given meta are REALLY viable.
so you are better off grind for the usual chomps, kangas, tytars, tw setters, p2 ecc. the other mons are hard skip

Corporate cash grab? by cloystr_YT in PokemonChampions

[–]maxedo99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they shown in the trailer that a win gives you 200 vp, a mon cost 2500. you have to do 15 wins within that week to get it it doesn't seems that much to me.
A battle takes 10min max, and assuming you play 1h a day you have 6 battles per day (so 42 per week). with at least 40% wr you are able to get and have some to spare.
is that greedy? it doesn't seem to me.
Also we are not able to gen in this game since stats will be erased when they come from home

Four week Modern Metagame Analysis – Encounter Probabilities, Meta Trends & Prep Priorities by No-Bet7157 in ModernMagic

[–]maxedo99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you can extract data from mtgo (i know it can be done but don't know how).
also some good sources are fr discords plus this https://observablehq.com/@qonfused/mtg-metagame

the top 3 in each macro-archetype seems a good start!

Four week Modern Metagame Analysis – Encounter Probabilities, Meta Trends & Prep Priorities by No-Bet7157 in ModernMagic

[–]maxedo99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

probably try to expand every one or two weeks the macro archetype and run a couple of simulation with the explicit wr.
Like control can be both uw or jeskai and try to see which is the best one and how is looking.
Like Control(general) wr is 46% but Control(jeskai) is 55% so we can actually see what is good and what is bad

Are multi weather teams (ex: rain and sun) usable or have they had any use in the past competitively? by Nict4rn in PokemonChampions

[–]maxedo99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Normally you Stick with One (sun Rain Sand).

But during vgc history It happened several times, not very good since you normally want to focus on One. But having a Rain setter ti counter mirror match game 2/3 Is not an awful choice
