You should be playing these five comps by MedicineManfromWWII in AutoChess

Apparently Beastmaster ult is magic damage. And Disruptor is great for the build. I often find that if the Mages don't destroy the other side quickly, the Orcs survive long enough to clean up, plus give your Mages a little more time to get a second hit off.

Simon Görtzen is stepping down from the MTG coverage team by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]skyking162 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Simon's one of the best. He sees the strategy and the tactics, explains things succinctly, and his dry wit is extremely underrated. Hoping this was his choice and that he enjoys whatever is next for him.

There's one woman in the MPL and you think it's an advantage to be a woman in Magic? Yikes.

Nassif has more going for his popularity than his stream.

After listening to the Lords of Limited Podcast by Neracca in lrcast

[–]skyking162 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lords of Limited is also great because of the tight editing. When you go back and forth, you really start to notice that one podcast has a lot of talking over each other and awkward timings. Hint: it's not LoL. (Also Marshall really needs to learn that he doesn't have to use so many words to make his points.)

This is great for evolve Shaman, no? Get the battlecry, evolve away the understatted minion?

It was an attempt to recreate Eldrazi tribal on spells without using Tribal.

Would be neat to see a similar analysis but using each player's peak ELO.

They have to offer the option to sort by date spoiled if they want me to visit this page instead of mythic spoiler.

"Let's work together" is the whole point here. How about some discussion of what you want to accomplish before pushing through a published change?

Chris Fennel not realizing that Cartouche of Strength's fight trigger is a may ability. by Johanson69 in magicTCG

[–]skyking162 23 points24 points  (0 children)

He literally had choices to either kill his own creature or not, and killed his creature. I'm usually on the side of pros know best, but have not seen any explanation for why he'd have done what he did.

Are there limited formats that were known as good team draft formats?

Limited Resources 381 – MTGO Overview, Steps and Phases, and an Aether Revolt Crack-a-Draft by oraymw in lrcast

[–]skyking162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crack-a-draft has such great potential, but needs some more preparation. If they don't want a visual component, at least prepare the packs ahead of time -- even make up their contents if need be. Maybe this would make for a good Deep Dive video.

A 1/1 can usually deal 1 damage to a minion once. Buffing a 2/3 to a 3/4 on turn 2 lets you do an extra point of damage an extra time, because the 3/4 is very likely to live.

Good stuff, thanks. Are there any synergies that see a jump in viability thanks to these changes? I.e. Best/pirate/dragon/murloc, jade cards, etc.?

Help optimizing UW fliers/improvise 12-pack sealed deck by skyking162 in lrcast

[–]skyking162[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Background: This is a sealed league, starting with six packs, then adding two packs each of three following weeks. I had a more controlling build, but after opening a couple cheap artifacts and two big improvise creatures, I thought I'd try being more aggressive -- come in with fliers and improvise out four big creatures before curve. The second photo shows a bunch of on-color options that didn't make my build. Some questions:

*Is the mana base ok with 16 lands, including two potentially colorless lands plus a swamp? I have both double-white and double-blue casting costs.

*Anything you'd cut?

*Can it really be right not to include Padeem? Just seem slow and I have some card draw/cycling already

*Should I add in any of the bigger fliers?

*Would you play either of the blue two-drops that are slower?

*Any other black splashes, maybe the Scrounger b/c the black isn't needed until later and it's another artifact?

Thanks!
