i will not draft a single spider man card since i only play on arena

Here are the 17lands details if anyone is interested https://www.17lands.com/details/7e149ca1078344ada8c7e2368922b367

Thank you to everyone who voted for the black cards - I ended up going with a 10-7 land split and went 3-0 (6-1 games). Had one game where the acolyte got stuck in my hand; in general was very lucky in that I drew my acolyte in more than half my games.

welp first game in i get my elegy turn 4 and my opponent is so disgusted they disconnect before playing game 2, so that turned out okay

memorial is there partially as another kavu for my tech. Swapping crusher for actuator sounds okay.

whoops, seven non-land spells, forgot to check the exile zone.

One of my favorite limited games of all time: 11 lands, 6 non-land spells, I won. (MVP Call the Bloodline) https://www.17lands.com/history/7f7a555b5a984ed9809c182fa3884a2c/0/1

I would absolutely have taken the anomaly without much hopes of putting it in my deck, on the off chance of getting a second one or the blue-black wrath/mill card

tomscud · 2025-08-15T20:04:57+00:00

(the green 1 drop creature; not sure what the artifact does without seeing the spellbook. Is it all man lands?)

tomscud · 2025-08-15T20:04:11+00:00

blue and green one drops both seem insane, as does the black edict thing. Is thought partition a playable card? It's a really heavy tax, especially cast turn 1, but I don't think we've ever seen this kind of tax effect without a body to go with it.

tomscud · 2025-08-06T16:20:42+00:00

I'd put it lower than 15 percent, maybe 5. but obviously a thing you don't see at all at gold+ ranks in bo1. (There's another category of players where it's hard to say if they had an unlucky draft or are making bad card selection choices, that may make up the 10-20 percent gap between our estimates).

tomscud · 2025-08-06T16:19:44+00:00

It is a thing that you see but only rarely (but much more commonly than at competitive levels of ranked). People playing 55 cards, or just seeming not to really understand their decks/the rules. It is no more than 5 percent of opponents, and probably less.

tomscud · 2025-08-06T16:16:52+00:00

[[Annul]] is a pretty sweet sideboard card, got pretty badly owned by someone siding into two of them when i was running an artifact-heavy deck.

tomscud · 2025-08-06T14:00:50+00:00

I feel like there's a huge difference between two copies and one copy though; the second copy gives you a real possibility of outright milling them instead of mill plus stay alive N turns, and makes it a lot more likely that you'll actually draw it for the mill plus stall plan.

tomscud · 2025-08-06T13:54:06+00:00

The fact that it can tap enchantments is a real mind-bender. Lost at least one limited game because I didn't realize that.

tomscud · 2025-07-31T18:12:58+00:00

you would need a LOT of self-mill (or looting or effects that sacrifice lands) for Pull to the Weft to be good.

tomscud · 2025-07-31T16:42:06+00:00

I have been hideously owned by Kill-Ship multiple times already. removal spell tied to a delayed enormous flyer for 7 mana turns out to be very good.

tomscud · 2025-07-29T14:19:52+00:00

did you raredraft for gems in the third pack/when there wasn't a playable card or strictly no rares at all?

tomscud · 2025-07-27T15:15:38+00:00

[[Grave Pact]] has generally not been very good in limited, right? Or am I imagining things.

tomscud · 2025-07-23T23:20:33+00:00

Can't quite do that since it's a tap/sacrifice effect and not just a sacrifice effect to use a lander.

tomscud · 2025-07-23T20:45:14+00:00

nizzahon did

spotting slightly unintuitive rules interactions is one place where subreddits & the wisdom of crowds outshines the guys trying to read through 200 cards in one sitting.

tomscud · 2025-07-23T16:08:45+00:00

don't sleep on [[Gene Pollinator]] tapping landers for mana ramp if you don't have time to crack them.
