    When should this week's event be listed on Gatherling? And when does 'rotation' happen?

    So next week is cube and RoE queues. Any advice/nifty primers for the latter?

    I have yet to play against a dedicated g/w deck, instead it's either rakdos aggro or defender mill/ramp. And everything said above is also true.

    I was going to say G/R Bloodthrist, so for the sake of something different how about Boros Humans?

    Quote from kruemel
    Are you looking in playing competitive? MTGO or paper?
    Both WW and Infect are viable decks.

    MTGO, and competitive enough to have a shot in the 2mans

    So pauper seems interesting, the problem being that I don't know what deck I should look at running. I have pieces of white weenie and infect, are these two decks good in pauper or should I focus on something else?

    So p1p1 the choice is between two cards that are close in quality. Card 1's color has a other playables while card 2 is the only card of that color, but not quite as good. Is it better to tale card 2 to start cutting off a color and get pay off in pack 2?

    My deck was all the black except for night terrors and the white except for feeling of dread, purify the grave, urgent exorcism and spare from evil along with the dagger. Ended up going 2-1 with my first match being up agaisnt someone with three bombs, second match all I saw was humans and my removal either ran out or wouldn't work. third match I won when I just able to rush in for the kill. Is there anything I could have done differently? Nothing else stood out to me and nothing seemed really spashable since my main colors were weak.

  • posted a message on Where should I start?
    So after drafting once and doing rather well I figured I could try it again on MTGO and at least do passingly well. Instead I've done horribly and there are clearly a lot of tings I have to learn. The thing is that I don't have any idea as to where I should start learning how to actually get good at this.

    I think my primary problem is bad card analysis, fixating on some cards over others that are just bad cards/not doing what I think they do.

    1x Tribute to Hunger
    1x Makeshift Mauler
    2x Diregraf Ghoul
    1x Manor Skeleton

    1x Silent Departure
    1x Claustrophobia
    1x Selhoff Occultist
    2x Frightful Delusions
    1x Fortress Crab
    That should be everything

    My initial plan was black/blue zombie tribal with tokens. Looking back some of the bigger problems with what I did was passing up on think twice repeatedly.Otherwise it seems like the cards I picked were decent and aside from pack 1 I wasn't really hurting for cards of my color.

    First game was against green/something, I think it was either black or white. Between my deck not coming together(no bombs nor as much removal as I'd like) I got out token'd by gutter grime.

    Next up was red/black with werewolves and vampires. Same problems as last game but went with a 4 card hand for one of them.

    Game 3, My deck came together and won handily...then something IRL came up and I forfeited by timing out.

    In general thoughts: Galvanic Juggernaut and Makeshift Mauler were just locked down too easily for them to be effective. Lack of draw hurt. I didnt' have enough zombies to make Endless Ranks work, which is a moot point as it never came up.

    Hello everyone, I just started playing Magic, and my interest extends solely to sealed events. I'm also on mtgo with the same name.

  • posted a message on Best way to do drafting in a self sustaining manner
    Hi,

    So I recently started playing MTGO and I was wondering what's the best way to make sealed events more or less self sustaining? By which I mean what's the best way to sell off my cards when I'm done and is it possible to get tixs and packs instead of bot credit, which as far as I can gather is useless to me.
