If you do get the good spells then you can break a defense. Weapons that give a minion air can also break a deadlock since you can then attack without losing half the units for 10 face damage to then lose the rest for 0 next turn. Too many games boil down to topdecking something to get through the 8 enemy minions that are there since neither side could remove the 1/5 with deadly or similar on the earlier rounds. When you play against better players draft is often about who keeps the flying advantage. Fliers have been winning drafts in MTG for many, many years now | ||

Set 3 should be in two years. They're slow rolling sets. | ||

I'm half-tempted to use tiebreaker matches to try out a tweaked Rakano deck as I haven't played any in either week. + Show Spoiler + also, in case I lose the link, I'm watching this guy's Sealed deckbuilding/matches: | ||

Draft since Set 3 came out has likewise been received with mixed feelings. The mixed Set 1/2/3 draft format makes most of the Set 3 synergies hard to really commit to, and results in a format where most of Set 3's advertised synergies aren't traps since they aren't really good enough to build around, and you're largely drafting cards at face value. All that said, the game's had a bunch of great feature additions in the last year. The Event system is great, and Sealed leagues are a great way to utilize it. The puzzles have been a great way for new players to learn rather quirky rules interactions. And the game is as generous as ever. So long as Set 4 can provide an overhaul of the Limited and Constructed formats, the game has a lot of potential to be in a great place. | ||

So long as Set 4 can provide an overhaul of the Limited and Constructed formats, the game has a lot of potential to be in a great place. Constructed's not the worst it's been - there's space for various flavours of jank, and despite Hailstorm & friends aggro's still around so it's not entirely midrange soup. Not playing as much draft as I used to, but Sealed's been a great replacement, and having faction rewards gives gauntlet grinding some other minor incentives. | ||

Went 6-2 in the "get a random unit" event with FTP Moment of Creation; was glad to be packing Scorpion Wasps against a lot of Icarias. Managed to blow out a Makto loaded up with 3 Cudgels attacking for lethal with a 0-cost Equivocate via a Heart of the Vault while tapped out (is that the Eternal terminology?) and win on the crack-back; lost to a double-Icaria'd Starsteel Daisho where I had the option of playing Moment of Creation or Molot & Nakova while on three life (he'd lost enough armour that it would get knocked off via any attack); went for the latter since I was worried about Harsh Rule etc but he had a second Daisho in hand for lethal. Got completely run over by Rakano Plate in my last match with no Hailstorms, welp. | ||

New pack for sealed league - picked up a shiny Shelterwing Rider and Stormchaser to slot into my Hooru deck in place of Wild Rider and Shield Bash. Only "pants" I have for the former are 2x Spiritblade Stalker ultimates, 1x Sparring Partner summon, and 1x Valkyrie Arcanist weapon via entomb; decided to swap in Rolant's Intervention for Jump Kick as I have a decent amount of flyers. Was at rank ~4800 before this week's games started so hoping to remain under the 5000 mark for end of run prizes over the next few weeks. Edit: Geez, went 8-2, and one loss was accidentally keeping a two Justice sigil hand with a Strategise/multiple 3-drops (then drawing no power for the next six turns) while distracted by Ever8 popping off against MVP in the LCK relegations, ha. Never had my Shelterwing Rider's Aegis popped once. At 392, though I'm sure I'll drop to over 1k once everyone's got their ten games in. + Show Spoiler + | ||
