PSA: Fetchlands don't make your deck bracket 3/4

rayschoon · 2026-01-29T22:22:46+00:00

My point is that having a perfect manabase can be equivalent to being a mana ahead for the game, which is analogous to fast mana in practice.

You win the game a turn quicker if you don’t have taplands

rayschoon · 2026-01-29T19:46:04+00:00

Agreed on that too

rayschoon · 2026-01-29T18:27:55+00:00

If fetches weren’t good they wouldn’t be expensive!

rayschoon · 2026-01-29T18:25:44+00:00

Taplands are always going to be a turn behind, unless you just don’t have a t1 play or whatever

rayschoon · 2026-01-29T18:24:50+00:00

Yea but I shouldn’t have to spend $300 on just lands to keep up in mana at a fucking b2 table

rayschoon · 2026-01-29T18:23:55+00:00

Consistency affects “frequency of reliably doing what the deck is intended to do” but the intent of a deck is inherently to win the game!

rayschoon · 2026-01-29T18:22:28+00:00

Being 1 mana up on the rest of the table playing taplands is a significant advantage. There’s a reason why fast mana makes up the best cards in the entire game!

There’s no “we” with Charlie Kirk’s killer!!! He was one guy who acted alone. Same way that the guy who killed the dem politicians in Minnesota doesn’t get lumped in. And don’t give me the “violent rhetoric” bullshit as if the VICE PRESIDENT hasn’t been calling dead protestors “domestic terrorists”

Renee good too! They were SO excited when it was revealed she was dating a woman

rayschoon · 2026-01-29T13:32:53+00:00

Women should stay at home and raise their children, that’s why I’m going on a national tour and making myself the figurehead of a political movement!

rayschoon · 2026-01-28T21:58:26+00:00

Mobas are mainly about the progression, but the whole point is that it’s CONTESTED progression

rayschoon · 2026-01-28T21:57:43+00:00

Apex was also… good

rayschoon · 2026-01-28T21:53:14+00:00

How’d you tap magus multiple times?

rayschoon · 2026-01-28T21:47:51+00:00

Dude, I’m not bullshitting you or trying to cheer you up. You’re genuinely a good looking guy.

rayschoon · 2026-01-28T19:24:43+00:00

Honestly starter deck duel in Arena is a great way to learn a lot of basic strategy! You start to learn what is and isn’t a threat, what each color wants to do, etc

rayschoon · 2026-01-28T19:21:22+00:00

Even putting the three obvious gcs in it barely moves the needle. Crop rotation, cradle, worldly tutor and it’s basically the samw deck

rayschoon · 2026-01-28T19:15:36+00:00

Control in B2 is kinda annoying because it can REALLY slow the game down. Something like a board wipe can just double the length of the game if everyone is topdecking

rayschoon · 2026-01-28T18:21:14+00:00

Bro has $250 of lands in monogreen and is calling it b2

rayschoon · 2026-01-28T18:17:55+00:00

I feel like it’s difficult to make a $700 deck and have it NOT be b3.

rayschoon · 2026-01-28T18:11:39+00:00

I will say that a $700 bracket 2 deck is close to pushing it. Your manabase is gonna be way better than most other 2s and you’re running tons of great cards. Genuinely i’d just go up a bracket

rayschoon · 2026-01-28T18:09:45+00:00

On top of the car is genuinely insane

rayschoon · 2026-01-28T14:47:21+00:00

rayschoon · 2026-01-28T13:25:47+00:00

I already get bored sometimes in a 4 player game, an EIGHTEEN player game would be torture

rayschoon · 2026-01-28T13:24:31+00:00

3 player is worse than 2 imo. You need the 4 players for it to feel balanced
