If you're making a deck buy the cards you need from humans and then bots.

Not watching stream atm but did Stanislav Cifka make the Finals? Great to hear that he's finally made his name at a big event. The Czech and Slovakian players have been really strong and deserve the recognition for it.

On my screen it's 2-2?
Cifka with the no land hand keep in game 5! :O
Damn Cifka with the craziest g5 finals I've seen in a while. I think he has this in the bag.
Yup, he wins it. Very weird final game.
LOL Watanabe master troll.

I like it, but I'm a combo player.

My problem with it is that there was virtually no interaction between the players outside of sideboarding options. One player set up a combo and waited till the appropriate time while the other player just played creatures and attacked. Outside of cards like deathrite shaman/lilliana/ancient grudge, both players just put their hands on the table and tried to win first.
Also, eggs takes forever to combo out.
|
That's how most combo decks go if the field isn't prepared for it.
|
Ya, that's kinda how every combo deck works... I would like to play eggs but watching it isn't the most fun. LOL at wotc making him go through the motions and full combo "for the viewers at home." I hate how wotc and broadcasters assume everyone watching is a complete moron and everything needs to be completely explained to them. I think once he casts a few second sunrises people will get it. Do you really need to show him doing it 20 times?

Is it truly impossible to infinity draft on MTGO? Like without paying for every draft? I won an 8-4 the other day but I guess since it's still release you have to buy 2 event tickets per draft no matter what.
Other than that obvious cost, even when you only need 3 packs to enter, is it still logically unlikely to get enough firsts and seconds to draft regularly with low cost?
Cause I want to draft WAY more regularly than the live events I can play, but i dont' have a hundred bucks or more to blow every week haha.
EDIT: Also, streaming an MTGO draft  twitch.tv/sonatasc2
|
It's not impossible, just very, very hard. You can sell packs you win to bots to get tickets to get into events and drafts, but you have to get first or second in just about every 8-4 to break even. You will end up having to invest some money into packs/tickets, but if you can do decently enough it shouldn't break the bank.

This game is really pissing me off recently. Draft packs are opening pure garbage every single time, when I do manage to put together some semblance of a deck my in game draw is laughable, or my opponent has the nuts every single time.
RTR seems so poorly designed to me that only rakdos and selesnya are even remotely decent.

Yes? Once you realize people have messed up on far easier things in the Finals of PT level events, like drawing a card more than they should have. It's like when Conley Woods made that Ooze-Poppet deck for the new Extended right before a PTQ event, I pretty much won some of those match ups just because I made my opponent go through the motions and some of them couldn't do it properly.
Even at the PT-level, a lot of "known" players do not completely understand how mechanics work (most of them are smart enough to ask a judge before attempting). Now if it sounds like I rules lawyering them, hardly. If you know how to execute the combo, then there's no problem and whatever complaints the pilot might have had died with the minute he/she chose the deck. Complaining about being forced to walk through the combo is the equivalent of a Battle of Wits player complaining of shuffling.
Plus the Eggs combo isn't exactly an easy one to understand, definitely one of the more complicated (I would argue the most complicated) combo decks to pilot.
Edit:
At above poster, I have played a lot of RTR drafts thus far and I don't think my deck has looked the same (theme-wise) yet, I really don't understand where you're getting that "only GW/BR" part from.
|
Yeah, it's not really feasible to go infinite on just drafts on MODO. Constructed events are the most feasible way to do so.

I just started to draft on MTGO but I've seen similar results in my first 5 drafts lost the first round and usually ended up 1-2 at the end. Then in my 6th draft I won the entire thing without loosing a match. So kinda inconsistent so far hah, but I'm still having fun learning. My draws have all been either terrible or amazing no middle ground.

What are people's thoughts on the new triggered ability ruling? There was quite a controversy about it during the PT.
|
Yes I enjoy bringing up a topic with no link or explanation of said topic, too.
|
Opening filibusters then mana bloom then guild feud in draft makes me wanna punch a kitten.

Oh sorry. I mean the rule where you have to announce all triggers. It was jackie lee vs someone else (don't recall). Pretty much the other guy had a stab wound on jackie's creature. He kept noting the life loss due to stab wound but she didn't. She then called judge over and told him that her opponent did not declare the trigger on stab wound's life loss so she shouldn't have loss any life. She eventually got dq for it. So the rule pretty much turns all triggered abilities into optional abilities as long as both players miss it. It also happened in the top 8 in the valakut vs UW where the UW player missed his clique activation even though it isn't optional. Neither player or judge caught it though.

Well that's just sketchy shit from Jackie, but I don't really see a difference between how it would play out in the "old" vs "new" situation.
