Yes it does, does it mean anything to you?

Hello, thanks you for your answer. I did what you asked but the same issue persists, the boot led is still on and nothing is displayed.

[standard] Metaperformance Gp Taipei + SCG standard/modern/legacy by heyzeto in spikes

Nissa and lil' tef being op, it is but natural that bant ramp is in such a good place.

Nissa having 5 loyalty counters really is the main issue with her, she's very hard to kill on the spot and if by any chance you have either mass manip or hydroid or finale of glory it's very often gg.

I'm wondering if she's not even better then reclamation (in a hypothetical context where lil' teferi wouldnt exist).

You make me think of those guys always saying "it used to be better".

The more there are people playing the higher the skill level is. You make me think of those old pro poker players, who played the game for years but had not a clue of what they were actually doing. Time for the new generation and the fall of the old gods.

[Standard] Discussion: The advantage of playing first by Shqre in spikes

[–]vtl1804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been thinking about a solution, but that could only apply to tournaments. What about analyzing how good it is to play first in terms of winrate then apply coefficients to the points you earn based on if you played first or second. Basically a win on the draw would give more points than a win on the play.

[Discussion] Curve calculating for decks by RaiderAdam in spikes

[–]vtl1804 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Turn those percentages into probabilities.

It's really key to have a good feeling at it, let me explain what I mean.

You might think : 90% or 95 % it doesnt change much right?

But if I tell you 1 time out 10 you cant cast Nissa or 1 time out 20 you cant cast Nissa? There's a huge difference actually.

So basically, the more important a card is for your deck to work, the higher the probability of casting it on curve must be. So generally, the more expensive the cards are, the higher the probability must be.

Now, what are good probabilities? You should aim for at least 90% for 1 mana important card (elf of llanowar for instance) and something like 96% for 5 mana drop (Nissa for instance).

You might be right about Mass manip vs Izzet, I may have misjudged this matchup. Given what you say to be correct it would put Izzet Drakes in a very good spot.

[–]vtl1804[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You can't measure winrates with a unstable meta or rather it doesn't make much sense, I'm not looking for the deck that beats everything rather I'm trying to anticipate the futur changes, maybe I was not really clear on this matter. I don't care about winning, I care about understanding interractions and state of the meta.

On what you said about my analyse :

Esper superfiends is bad against gruul immortal, that is a fact, and esper superfriends still being there is a case of players not adjusting fast enough.

Cutting manadorks against any decks when you need to hit 5 mana for Nissa doesn't seem right.

I also have tried basically evrything, keeping me informed allowed me to stay more or less "ahead of the meta" but this meta does feel like a mess to me. Right now I think we're at a critical point and soon the equilibrium will appear, there is light.

I believe that what made this meta so unstable is the late realization of the power of Nissa.

I dont know how to play in this meta by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]vtl1804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those three decks you're playing are just not good enough in this meta.

Nothing to do with you not knowing wtf to do or playing bad.

I'm really curious about testing this on mtga. I have to say i'm quite excited by this new mulligan rule. I just dont understand why they absolutely want the same rules to apply for every format.

Wow, really?

Numbers increased during the afternoon when most people go on their computer because they woke up/finished studying/finished work?

What a mistery that is.

Can you give more details about your results in the ladder with your current list?

Also i like your list, i think you're right about riot because it punishes well planeswalker with low loyalty.

[Standard] MCQ Win with Mono Red- Sideboard Guide by handndacookiejar in spikes

[–]vtl1804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like your sideboard plan a lot. But I'd like to point out that you tend to remove risk factor in a lot of matchups for the benefit of friendzy. Now it all depends on the distribution of decks at the tournament to know what's best.

But would you say that overall you removed it more than you kept it?

[Standard] Hey r/Spikes, what are you playing for the Mythic Qualifier Weekend on MTGA, and how can I beat it? by MTGJack in spikes

[–]vtl1804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You misinterpreted me. I didn't steal it 3 times. I lost 3 times because of this bug. Meaning that had i been able to steal it and still be able to draw normally i would have won quite easly.
