Oh, guess that makes sense.

It may feel like it in ranked, at least for me, because soo many people run the same shit. I always get Esper, Mono-R, or Mono-W in ranked. Since I like to play stupid decks I dick around in play mostly.

Harshaw · Jul 9, 2019

I am messing around with an Angel deck. Any input? I know it's not super competetive but I've been pulling out some wins with it. Trying to see if I can make some improvements.

Is this something that's happening in unranked or something? I face a pretty wide variety of decks while mythic laddering. Both Bo3 and Bo1.

It happens to me in BO1 a LOT and I typically play either White Weenie, Mono Red, and Ajani Swarm.

Depending on the deck I play with, my matchups will be completely different, even in the same play session. Today, for example, I lost several in a row with Mono Red and was facing decks I wasn't familiar with, so I switched to Ajani Swarm and played against decks I'm very familiar with and started winning again.

With Bishop of Wings, Angel's of Vitality, and some lifelink I didn't feel the need to go green for health. I know the explore helps, but I traded it off for the removal. I'm also testing it with a couple Icon of Ancestry.

Icon has been fantastic in my vamp deck and did pretty well in my elemental one as well. I switched in 2 Domri for a better removal package for elemental but the Azcanta effect is so good against esper.

Which nets you 250 more xp every week than you got with the old system if you do everything. And you don't have to play every day to do it. just every 3rd day to not miss any of the daily gold quests.

I just played a game as Mono-Red where I pulled 1 land in 14 cards.

Hindsight being 20/20, I'd obviously mulligan my 1 land opening hand. But, also wtf?

Even in mono-red aggro, I'd always mulligan a 1-land.

Kiroy · Jul 11, 2019

unless they actually play fast, which is an impossibility, anyone who doesn't rope wilderness rec players is a faggot

Please, you see that Fanatical Firebrand and a Light Up The Stage in hand with only one land then that shit is a keep.

Right?

Jackie Treehorn · Jul 11, 2019

Why are mono blue players so goddamn retarded. No group (aside from red/blue) is so goddamn slow. Play your fucking cards already, this isn't rocket science.

I figured I'd try ranked again and I'm immediately annoyed by so many slow players and roping for no obvious reason.

I just had a fucking hand with 5 lands to start (which I kept because I had nissa in hand,) then I proceeded to draw either 5 or 6 more lands in a row and of course lost. Fucking amazing.

Kiroy · Jul 11, 2019

it's crazy with how broken the shuffler is how they same people are in the top 100 on ladder almost every time

This same thing happened to me 3 times in a row with that French gaming contest code someone posted earlier.

I'd get a hand with 5 lands, mulligan, get 4 lands, play it, and draw another 3 lands... It happened THREE TIMES IN A ROW.

All I wanted was my own little vampire deck. I used my few wildcards/mythics then bought the 6 mana sorin by accident with my last mythics. FML reeeee

There's a german one as well. Some of the cards I haven't seen in the M20 list, so I presume they only occur in that deck?

Rime · Jul 12, 2019

Correct. Some of the cards in that deck are only in m20 via the deck.

German one is the same as the French one and I think there is also a Spanish one as well.
