imgur.comAnyone else think the Hobbit is a set where you should be really careful about keeping a 2 lands opening hand?
So normally keeping a 2 lander is quite fine especially on the draw since going down a card is just really bad.
Even if you miss a land drop its usually still better than missing an entire card from the beginning.
But hobbit is so much about curving out that missing your 3rd land drop or even 4th feels really really hard to recover from the tempo loss. Even if you have good removal, if your opponent is double spelling 2 turns while you are stuck using one removal and passing, you are just gonna lose that game unless you have a great bomb.
My experience has been that i get punished way harder for a 2 lander than in other sets and on the contrary going down a card to have a good hand doesnt feel as bad because matches are rarely grindy enough that the extra card matters. Plus recruit helps you filter your hand once you have enough lands in play to do it. But if you never get to those first 4 lands, recruit doesnt help you all that much.
I am winning a bit to much with this deck in B3 and i don't understand how
https://moxfield.com/decks/SeQdYvEYvkeNWzzYMS-scw
So this is currently my favourite deck. My friends like it as well but it is overperforming hard in our B3 pods. Out of 11 games i have won 8 with it and usually quite convincingly. It wasnt against pushover decks either, my friends hearthhull list for example is seriously pushed.
And none of us really understand how it keeps happening. My commander is 6 mana. Its not a fast deck. I usually dont do all that much the first 4-5 turns outside of looting or ramping. I dont even run any game changers or hard control pieces.
Its usually just that i get conjurers closet pretty consistently and then have Access to repeatable removal that grinds people out. I think its just that the deck is a Jack of all trades maybe? It has good removal, stack interaction, life gain, good wincons and a value engine in the command zone. Is that really that good though?
Living end silver scroll buyout? What the hell happened here? Is this because of modern bans?
The day has come: Bolting llanowar elves is no longer the right Play
Because they will play badgermole cub the turn after and you Auto lose to it if you don't have removal up lol.
I got a bit stuck between drafting an aggressive lorehold deck P1 and then not seeing red White cards P2 but getting the emeritus, daze and stock up super early so i ended up in this weird not really jeskai control deck. I know i misdrafted here but i really thought the overall card quality of this deck would carry it to a decent record at least.
It seems to me that by now in this Stage of the Format you need to be super Focused being either full gas no brakes aggro or super greedy control soup, anything inbetween just loses to both decks...
