wow another flavor of aggro deck
wow how amazing i can't wait to spend gems on this so i can feel epic skilled at card games wow
it's going to be so fun playing against this warrior mono white aggro deck every game wow

>>492951590
>mono white aggro deck
One-point-twenty-one nigga what? Did you just wake up from a coma you've bee in since before rotation?

>>492951590
>free shit on t2
Does nothing on T2 and pigeonholes your T3. You definitely don't drop Innkeeper T3 running this.
>autowin on t6
How many creatures do you normally control on T6?

>>492951590
The OP card doesn't go in an aggro deck. It goes in a Caretaker's Talent deck.

>>492955092
that's even worse

>>492954840
the card isn't great but it's slightly better than this.
t1 drop a non-toy creature. t2 drop dollmaker's shop and swing with your 1-drop, netting a 1/1 token. t3 is not pigeonholed.

>>492957180
You are correct. I was thinking of it slotting into Boros or Monowhite Caretaker and didn't consider just running a 1-drop.
What 1-drop are you running?

>>492957252
Crawling Chorus gets the ball-rolling almost guaranteed, but there's probably something better that makes a token on death I imagine

>>492957252
depends heavily on the rest of the shell, the rest of the meta, and the rest of the set's leaks.

in a vacuum these details matter:
>the 1/1 toy token is an artifact. potential for artifact synergies.
>the 1/1 toy token does not enter tapped and attacking. it's not the fastest. counterbalancing with a 2/1 on t1 may be helpful.
>evasion is helpful to safely get your trigger. an extra toughness has a similar but lesser benefit.
>the room being an enchantment may be relevant.
just within white and colorless, these 15 options are all worth considering depending on the rest of the deck.

looking through these, i like the 3 pesky fliers a lot. they'll chip in for quite a bit, get you some triggers, and when you open the larger room they will probably close the game.

>>492947168
So would temporary lockdown exile dollmaker;s shop if it has only been casted as a two drop? would it exile it if it was casted as a two drop then had its room opened or vise versa? does casting the two mana side let you draw a card with up the beanstalk or are they considered two different cards depending on which side you cast?

Does anyone actually enjoy this dogshit game?

Looking over the thread it's like Worlo-levels of beaten, abused dogs desperately clinging to something that used to be good in a futile hope that it'll get better and return to what it used to be.

Why haven't you left yet? You know this is a textbook case of abuse victims, right?

I want to make fun of you, but it's genuinely pretty sad.

as with every game ever made since the internet appeared, meaning you should know this by now, the people who enjoy the game spend time actually playing the game instead of shitposting in forums

i simply do not humor autoloss games.

>>493053246
They should unironically do this for literally every format. Every single set that is released, the win% disparity on going first/second just gets wider and wider.

Also, daily reminder that this is the WORST the game has EVER been and if you still play it you just hate yourself that much.
None of you are having fun. Even your wins aren't fun because most likely you won because of the same bullshit RNG that made you lose, just flipped on op.

>have to discard if you mulligan
>going second automatically gives you like a 30% chance of winning

so where exactly is the skill expression in this game?

>>493053290
control has to build for the entire meta. reducing the number of cards i need to deal with spam creatures increases the amount of cards i can use to deal with anything else, reducing the wrath turn from 3 to 2 let's me play fewer lands, increasing the amount of cards i can use for everything else, strong counter cards will reduce the prevalence of wide aggro in the meta, increasing the amount of cards i can use for everything else... it's so much value. my historic deck alone gets like 6 card slots freed up.

Insane. Turn 2 kills become even more likely.

How do you feel knowing there is actually zero skill or strategy required in you "strategy" card game and every deck plays itself and the winner has nothing to do with how you pilot the deck?

Going first is so fucking broken. It's the difference between red deck being OP and being completely trash.

What can you possibly do to beat Going First red aggro as green? They'll have at least a guy or two on turn2, I'll get out a turn2 creature, but then they can buff their guys with Prowess/Equips and be stronger than my 2drop and I don't have the mana to play something to buff my 2drop at this point.

If I survive to turn4, I can turn things around and I have won from here before, but it's basically game over if they already have a bunch of attack on Heartfire Hero since it'll nuke me with all of its attack power when it dies. What can I possibly do to beat red in the early game while going second?

>>493151487
Mono green is not playable in this removal centric format.

>>493151487 me
As mentioned before, if I go first, this goes entirely in the opposite direction. They can't do SHIT when I'm the one who has priority over the board. I'm a turn ahead and have extra mana to beat them. It isn't even close.
>>493151702
Oh! I play Alchemy, there are very few mass removal spells, so green is great in this format. :)

With Duskmourn it feels like design wanted fully commit to the theme, but the art department realized that a lot of 80s horror was heavily inspired by gothic horror so they predominantly took inspiration from that side of it to keep it looking like Magic. The result is that Duskmourn is 90% indistinguishable from another Innistrad return set, but then on every tenth card there will be a random television or modern looking sneaker. Very odd.

Skill in a card game would be to take cards that don't do much on their own and that barely work together and make them work as best as possible.

Having cards that trigger or meet their triggering requirements by themselves, create more value by themselves existing on the field or just with one other single card, are only a huge threat to your opponent but no real risk for you, are the opposite of skill.
The fact that you can reset the game in your favor with something like Sunfall, should be evidence of how you do not need thinking or card management skills.
Or how most aggro decks can kill you in 2 turns without needing or risking interacting with the opponent.
Or how toxic decks don't need to interact with their opponents as well and only need to put 10 counters on opp to win the game and how the opp cannot ever interact or remove the poison counters.
Or how you're forced to play black if you want easy access to generic creature removal.

imagine if i had a card that said
>"Whenever a creature etbs, do 1 damage to opp for each creature. At the start of the battle phase create 10 1/1 tokens with haste. Opponent can't gain life."
Where is the player agency? What choices are left to be made? What options are available to your opponent or what are your risks by playing that card?

Mono red aggro creatures all costing 1 and having haste, prowess and access to lot of buffing spells and effects that give them extra stats just for being targeted by the players spells, isn't any sort of skill; it's just casualized machanics to sell card games to normies.

One of the most important aspects of doing well in draft is format familiarity, so yes familiarizing yourself with the format on mtga would be good for doing well irl.

The basic fundamentals like threats, removal, etc and how to prioritize them is important too, depending on how new you are.

In Alchemy, there's a mechanic where cards can "perpetually" add +1/+1's to your creatures. For all intents and purposes, it's like adding +1/+1 counters, but without the counters. Creatures will keep the +1/+1 bonuses no matter where they are and the bonus cannot be removed.

I thought it was really interesting when my opponent played Maha. The toughness of my perpetually boosted creatures only lowered to 1 of their base stats before the perpetual boost. So, a 1/2 creature with four +1/+1 perpetual boosts (5/6), became a 5/5 when the opponent summoned Maha. It's a very strong mechanic if you can get it going.

>>493270467
It'd work the same with +1/+1 counters, Maha only modifies based toughness.

>>493271161
This is true, yes, but because perpetual boosts aren't counters I initially assumed that the base stats were being modified. It wasn't until I saw the Maha interaction that I learned they're "invisible counters that aren't counters." They're not counters, so they don't interact with effects that involve counters.

Faggot game made for self hating subhumans. Let's discuss alchemy mechanics like its going to matter when win or lose is determined by whoever goes first/ whoever draws better like every single match in every single format. Fucking subhumans.

Clearly you arent skillfull enough to top deck every answer you need.

Seriously though the shuffler will choose who wants to favor based on a lot of factors, it is a conspiracy theory until its a fact.

WOTC already showed that they are doing shady shit in the back ground and they gaslight their players into thinking they aren't until they are caught, then the fess up and/or change it.

Imagine throwing your money at a digital card game where the game company is actively gaslighting and manipulating you into spending as much money as possible or you get shitty picks in drafts / always get a match up with your counter / always go second etc.....

Seriously just go play paper at your LGS.

Just do yourselves a favour and quit this game. Your not having fun. WOTC is a terrible company that only cares about milking you wallet and gives no fuck about product quality.

Rank doesn't matter, especially not in constructed. You have the same internet resources, you're using the same cards, you read the same guides and primers. There is no mystical quantity that is different between you and him, assuming you're not super low IQ or something random like that. High rank in this game just means you're familiar with how the game works and you play a lot. You probably pay attention while you play and minimize random player errors. Basic stuff.

You're probably being too defensive. Playing aggro well means knowing when to sacrifice board position or card advantage for a few extra points of damage, and how to play the line between overextending and letting them stabilize.
