Dies to Removal

Pretty sure GW has a bad match-up versus Esper, maybe the lists are changing though

It's been gaining popularity over the last few weeks - I think Andrew Shrout played it at an SCG event and that restarted interest.

I am 2 for 2 in drafts since last nights sealed qualifier, that makes me 11-0 in Limited matches since yesterday.

Kaitscarrying the team

Make that 14-0 as I win my third consecutive draft

I have turned the 30 tickets needed for the Qualifier into 85 tickets

Which is actually kind of weak, I have not opened any good mythics to liquidate, only low-value Theros boosters

I should probably stop while I am ahead and save these tickets to go towards UW.

Funny thing

My Sealed deck was BGu

My first draft deck was UG

My second draft deck was BG

My third draft deck was BGu

The moral of the story is play BUG in Theros Limited.

I can confirm that BUG is the strongest color wedge in THS limited.

At the GP yesterday I registered a pool that had 4 Gray Merchants and a sea of green/black playables.

My pool was... ahem... less playable.

I got a terrible pool in the Noon Qualifier. 1-2 drop.

I am 2-1 with a meh BG pool (no gray merchants) so we'll see...

But I'm going to double que with the 6pm regardless

How are you getting into them so late?

I signed up for them yesterday.

3-1

The 6pm pool is decent but I think 4-1 will be a struggle. We'll see... BG in that pool as well (trend?)

i should have stopped drafting. bye bye tix.

i just pulled a prophet and polukranos so let's see if i can get this 8-4 under my belt

I have a whip. So you can never count me out. 1 gray merchant

win your last round ya bum

My MTGO tip of the day is always tap your lands for mana before clicking your spell or ability. Always. If you do it the other way around (which most people do) it shows me that you have a successful target. You can't bluff tapping mana to think about a spell that way. I won a game early just by tapping two Swamps for a Pharaka's Cure I didn't have. Since I always tap my lands first, my opponent never knows if I actually have it or not.

that makes sense only if you play a lot of mtgo, i didn't explain it very well

Well I made it to the finals of this draft, let's see if I win.

3-2

ya blew it

It's just like te semis of limited states all over again...

Does MTGO have any rhyme or reason as to how it places lands on the battlefield? I assumed it went
left to right sorted by type, but I got screwed playing my Koth deck when I activated the land I had played that turn and couldn't swing with it.

I use identical lands, so I couldn't tell visually.

there is no rhyme or reason to anything mtgo does

well i won that draft. thanks poly k.

didn't draw my prophet once.

sylvan caryatid helped.

do qp's actually do something this season or is it just more cube? cuz i have 12 or so.

Thanks Obama

i've been a great help

well, I've got a few more chances at this limited championship thing...

They brought back real MOCS so it worth it (those QP your farming is for sexy alt art Leg Land) MOCS1 + MOCS3 will be next month, MOCS2 + MOCS4 will be the month after.

MOCS1 and MOCS2 have been confirmed too be Standard.

why is mocs 3 before mocs 2

why is mocs 3 before mocs 2

Ask Wizard, I assume its because MOCS1+2 format was decided very late into the season - so they decided rather then cramming MOCS1-3 all in the same month they would just split it up a little.

I honestly have no idea how MOCS1 is going to fire when most people have already spent the QPs on MOCS1 Cube Sealed - I might just pop in and get 1st place by default . That said the QPs your farming for right now are going into MOCS2.

so right now i am grinding for a tournament in april

Yep, the MOCS2 prelim is Apr 16-18 and the finals 19 it kinda suck but the card is just wow... Alternative Art Tropical Island

If it makes you feel any better on 29 Jan, we start farming for MOCS3 which is Sealed Theros/Born of the Gods Sealed for Alternative Art Batterskull...

I forgot to mention MOCS1 is Alternative Art Natural Order (the non-Alt art is worth $38 right now online)... come to think of it, all 3 cards are worth over $30 so promo version should fetch $100+ in a few months

1-0 in Sealed Daily.

Please please, remind me about the mocs 2 I have a beerfest that weekend so I will have to qualify on the 16 and come back hungover for the 19th if I make it.

Need to be sent an invite still.
