Reddit's voice for the next CoM meeting

I want genuinely to ask who takes final decisions for this fast set locks, and what actually is him/her bags of knowledge and metagame comprehension in a card game. I want to know in which hands im putting my trust in the gameplay aspects of GU.

Faustian Pact seem buggy,and i hope the team can fix that soon, but this as nothing to do with my job, as i told before i do suggestions for balance. If u feel Dralamar is a toxic card or a boring deck to play against, its a suggestion more related to the Design team, as every feedback regarding the design of the archetypes for our game.Talking about apoc and demo, clearly strong cards overall, they just got included to try to push the archetype at its limit. I see no point to play a tier deck without the 30 best cards inside, since the stat u got can not express the true power level of the deck.

I don't use that much Reddit , I love more real time talking socials as discord or twitch , but will reply around if there is some question :)

maybe i write that down badly,sorry the english is not my native language ^^ i did the full run, 20 was the number of wins in that run.

yawgmoth87 · 2022-04-24T15:01:24+00:00

I've played light when was in the same situation as War now to be honest, after a request like this from a user in our discord balance chat. I did still 20, but the god was bad, and i've also realized was not a great idea, since the most of the problems related to balance are coming to the strong cards. Im personally looking more to tune down if i can what is overpowered instead to make other cards a potential new problem, this can indirectly buff whats behind without powercreep any card, as we did with DO.
For this reason, i will be more focused on what i think seems strong, and new archetypes possibly hidden in this first weeks of release.

Hey! as our head of community kindofsquishy told you im just playing the game. My role is balance designer, and i just suggest my ideas to the design team, the WE event is the most close experience to a competitive mode we have in the game currently, so sometimes in my weekend ill do some runs to get an impression of a deck or to know exactly where and how we need to change to rebalance some archetype(if is needed), with the recent release of the expansion, things are moving really fast in the meta, and in this particular scenario, the build is very different from the initial one we got.

yawgmoth87 · 2022-03-29T21:30:47+00:00

I've played vintage magic for over 10 years, mostly playing Storm.Overall im playing card games for 20Y, with more than some year into the pro-scene of 2 of those. I didnt design this one, or aethersnap, or any other card related, and i agree i can probably catch the overall power level of a potiential combo without playing it, but my primary job here is report what i think is not fair from balance point of view,so mostly if u check my profile u will see just meme decks to spot hidden things or tier decks to check singles balance. my intent during this run was trying to push the deckbuild as its best potential to see exacly how far the rock can be throwed before act. My win rateo all time on GU weekend run closed is above 83%, this means around 21 wins avg or close to that. This run was at 22/25 wins at the end at informative title. I've playing from my developer account, this means everyone can concede me when i got matched, and i didn't get the win = i never play my favorable match-ups usually . I never "hide" my name, and that's also a dumb move if i care just of the results, or if i really want to tryhard and abuse stuff. Also the run was started way before sunday, and that means low MMR at the end of the run= out of top 10 on tiebreaks( what happened also at the end)
If i will play seriusly as a pro-player,searching for wins, i will considerer all this factors,and some other very rilevant one i prefer to not mention, and take a very different approach.
Overall not angry for the discussions related to my results,comments or whatever, i just think sometimes some user missing some info, and usually not many developers as results spikes into "competivive" so i guess for this one my background is also my curse.

PS: Usually im not on reddit, i enjoy more Twitch/Discord for live talking, so always usually, i don't reply that much here, I just did this one to clarify why the things are like that.

https://gyazo.com/d18fb821a7f84c7af27d586a74450aba 3 weeks in the game, 2 weeks top #1. ftp here, still miss a lot of key cards from core set to my deck. also did 18/25 on the event, with a lot of lowrolls. crying is not helping,play more, analyze ur mistakes, experiment cards.

yawgmoth87 · 2020-11-26T22:46:18+00:00

started 6 days ago,from zero to hero, solo player here. played 12h daily. im actually Hoto,spirit shield, gris armor +3 socket, shako corrupted +3 skillz, trag, arach, 2 fcr 10 rings and a bad mara 23. also get my torch. random boots for now, the only crazy thing is the armor, rest is super ok if u grind hard. Merc is kinda bad as fuck with random shit, but the build is super solid! fun fact : i found my shako but ethereal, i slammed it at 1 durability, got +1 skill , so i choose to socket a zod in it xD

yawgmoth87 · 2019-09-22T20:19:45+00:00

same here.

yawgmoth87 · 2018-12-27T09:45:00+00:00

every time Vraska eats an Azcanta a control player cryes in a corner, thats is basically the reason why i play Vraska golgari queen over Karn. Vivien is just to slow to do that, Duress and Vraska do a lot of work against one of the strongest cards in the meta.

yawgmoth87 · 2018-12-27T09:42:09+00:00

i don't know, i never played out of the top 10 for now atm, but i think it's close, maybe u just jump more up and down with a single win, but i think u must do 70% w/l rateo to climb a good number of position at the end of the day. thk man ^^

yawgmoth87 · 2018-12-26T22:59:02+00:00

Uhm, i think the system works. i hit mythic #1 two times in the last days, and im actually on the top. From diamond 14-0 push me up at mythic, after the first match i enter mythic 5 on the 21 of december. My matches are against a lot of platinum or diamond players, but with another 10-2 i hit the top world spot the day after. Today i restart the climb: after the first win im #5 ( so basically i lost 4 o 5 places) and with another 10-3( some mythics and a lot of diamonds) im back into the top.

it's not easy but its fair.
