4h ago1:19:23

1:19:23

Today, a different episode. I started offering coaching, and to give you the insight into my method, I invited a Commander legend, Shivam. He told me he was struggling a bit with BLB draft (aren't we all) and wanted a second pair of eyes on his drafting. We go through his draft and try to identify where the potential problems lay. As it is Shivam, …

#129 - Why top Limited players win more? Bloomburrow Edition 1:49:13

14d ago1:49:13

1:49:13

Some players win more consistently. Surely there is more to that than pure luck? I look at the data of the top 17Lands.com users from Bloomburrow BO1 draft to try to see - what cards do they prioritise and what cards do they win more with. And try to speculate why that might be so. But wait, there's more! Some cards are generically good and will ma…

#128 - Early Bloomburrow Draft Data 1:40:39

21d ago1:40:39

1:40:39

Early data for every format is a bit of a minefield. On one hand it provides valuable information, on the other, can be misleading as it is largely based on the decks where players were still finding their footing in the new format. Join me in trying to decipher the data and find some cards that are obviously good or bad and some that may still be …

#127 - Draft archetype analysis for Bloomburrow with the Skeleton Crew 2:39:13

1M ago2:39:13

2:39:13

My traditional set review. Which is also a star-studded panel discussion. But instead of looking at individual cards, we look at the decks. How do we see decks in the upcoming format, what cards are we hopeful and what synergies excited about. My guests are: Jason Ye, a Pro Tour star and one of the brains behind the Slogurk decks. But we all know t…

#126 - MH3 set re-review with Chord_o_Calls 1:32:12

22d ago1:32:12

1:32:12

As with every set, at the end of the format me and Chord_o_Calls come back to the grades we gave each card in the format and see how far off were the grades from the card's actual performance. Did we nail our pre-release predictions? If not - where were the most mistakes? Were there any trends in colors, rarity? And with that information we try to …

#125 - How to optimize lands in MH3 draft decks 1:05:46

2M ago1:05:46

1:05:46

MH3 has the most complicated land system in ages. A whooping 1/8th of all the cards you see during draft will be lands and that means they play an important role in the deck building process. Today I talk about how to make sure you have the right number of landscapes and what is the best way of sneaking Modal Double-Faced Cards (spells with land at…

We connect back up with Laurana’s group as they return from their successful outing to Icewall. Aboard a ship bound for Sancrist with a Dragon Orb in their possession. Their trip is interrupted by a dragon. We learn a lot about white dragons, much of it uncomplimentary. Lucky for the Companions, white dragons are bad at their job! So, while it ends…

1:39:11

In all areas of life we know that learning process is a progression. You start with simpler tasks and as you get better, take on more complicated ones building on your growing skillset. But Magic often has universal advice to all players without taking the individual level characteristics into account. Todays episode will try to at least identify s…

#123 - Early dive into Modern Horizons 3 Draft Data 1:31:49

2M ago1:31:49

1:31:49

If you like a story with a good villain, MH3 delivers. Writhing Chrysalis is the best common we have seen by win rate and keep in mind - it all happens in a high power set. It will define the format - no doubt about it. Question is - what will you, the player do. Will you embrace it? Find a way to beat it? Or get angry with the format? If it is the…

3M ago3:07:32

3:07:32

New set preview time. Me, Jason Ye and a newcomer Springbok7 look at the MH3 and try to predict how each color combination would look like. Instead of traditional card review, we look at the set's fundamentals and build a skeleton of a deck using realistic assumptions (some rares, some uncommons, lots of commons) for each color pair. Plus many bonu…

Tanis and friends wake up from their nightmare only to find that the awful dream has an all too real effect on Silvanesti and its king, Lorac.

#120 - OTJ set re-review with Chord_o_Calls 1:14:57

3M ago1:14:57

1:14:57

This week me and Alex, AKA Chord_o_Calls, come back to our prerelease predictions of the OTJ set. We evaluated every card then - but how did our predictions pan out? This review is not design to pat ourselves on the back - we focus on mistakes and try to figure out why we made them. Do we have one-off issue or is there some systematic bias in how w…
