Kirblinx · Apr 8, 2017

So Chris let me have a go at this new beast and while I started going down a WU Meddling Mage tempo deck, I noticed that he was picking way too much removal for a deck with a lot of 2-drops to overcome, so I diverted and picked up some more lategame/recurring threats and ended up with this 'pile':

Game 1: I keep a hand that does literally nothing until turn 6 with Firemane Angel. It gets miscalced, then the next Firemane gets Hindered.

A then long grindy process ensues where I try and wait with Ajani and Nahiri in hand hoping for the Ratchet Bomb to go over 3 and 4.
It finally does, but Creeping Tar-Pit and Dragonlord Silumgar handily dispatch them and I can't outrace the Creeping Tar-Pit when he can block with the Nightscape Familiar for days.

Game 2: I curve Ratchet Bomb into Ajani and Nahiri. Chris plays a Dungeon Geist to try and stop the PWs. I use Karmic Guide to bring back a Luminate Primordial (discarded with Nahiri) and get rid of the Geist, with Nahiri looking to ultimate I am feeling in the box seat, until Chris drops Dragonlord Silumgar and ulti's my own Nahiri to get a Entomber Exarch. So now I am trying to kill his Jace, Unraveler of Secrets with my Karmic Guide, which I finally do, at the cost of my own Ajani. Then the grind continues until I Unexpectedly Absent his Dragonlord Silumgar (he got it back with Kolaghan's Command) to get my Luminate Primordial and beat him down with it.

Game 3: I have 4 minutes on the clock left while Chris has about 2.5 minutes. So I think I have this pretty handled. Apparently not:

A couple of dudes come later and I lose with Chris only having 3 seconds left on his clock. Draft was interesting and those games were definitely grindy.

Card notes:

The Planeswalkers seem too strong for what I feel you are trying to accomplish here gameplay-wise. They change the game on too much of a dramatic axis and are relatively hard to deal with. Nahiri way too stronk.
The games were mainly won by Dragonlord Silumgar and Creeping Tar-Pit. The Tar-Pit was way too hard to deal with, and I felt if you didn't have these two cards then any game I dropped my PW's I would have won.
Firemane Angel is sweet fun and am really looking forward to it having a home here.
What kind of decks is Radiant's Dragoons even fitting into anymore? Feels a bit like it has lost it's place with all these high powered options?
Cruel Ultimatum is sweet and it should stay in as a Grixis payoff.
There may have been too much removal. Looking at your list when I was building my deck I was wondering how I was ever going to get my creatures through that.
Kolaghan's Command is too strong to have multiples of in one deck.

Sorry for not really suggestion any additions, I don't really know what each archetype really wants at this point. I was just pointing out cards I liked and cards I think are too strong for the format. Your milage may vary though.
Thanks for the games. Look forward to another one!

Chriskool · Apr 8, 2017

Thank you for the detailed feedback, Kirb! I ended up with a UB control deck splashing a Kolghan's Command (which is another reason to cut it down/completely in my book):

I felt like I may have had too much removal, and judging by our games, my sideboard and your feedback, I most definitely did. I did feel completely incapable of building a deck that could cast my blue 4cmc cards, Collective Defiance and early black cards, though, so the restrictive mana requirements may alleviate that some.

I started without 'walkers but ended up added the following since they felt lower-powered...:

Ugh, what a disaster. In our games, I didn't feel like they singlehandedly won, but they shifted the play so much. With so many games of MTGO cube, I've forgotten what it looks like to witness one of these cards warping gameplay in such a heinous way. I will definitely cut them and look for other suitable Vampiric Tutor targets.

Glad I could surprise you with the edit to Grixis creatures and 2.5 minute victory.

Into the tank for edits!

Kirblinx · Apr 8, 2017

So this time I decided to go the control route:

The draft this time seemed easier for me as I just stuck with the blue control package and swung to either red or black depending on what the packs showed.

I managed to go 4-0 feeling in control against Chris pretty much every game.
Nothing really to note in the games other than Rend Flesh was pretty garbage against Chris's spirits (go figure). Got to Peek + Cabal Therapy a couple of times which was sweet. Really regret not getting the second Therapy (I even had a second peek in the SB.

Talrand was definitely my MVC as it won two of the games all by itself. Diluvian Primordial won the other two. Everything felt fair and nothing felt too overpowered, but I wonder if white decks just have an issue with base blue deck? Considering the rough time I had last draft.

Meddling Mage on turn 2 naming Hinder was pretty sweet when I had two in hand
Never saw the Ghastlord but seems like a fair enough control finisher.
Diluvian Primordial casting Otherworldly Journey into Unexpectedly Absent was (what I thought) gloriously back-breaking.
Could my deck fit the third Miscalculation or the second Peek? I don't know.
Seems strange that red has been pretty underplayed in our last couple of drafts. Just poor circumstance? Have the goblins lost their way? I tried a UR version of my deck in the last round and it was okay, but still felt the black version was better.
Tallowisp is sweet and hope that it works better in future drafts
Crypt Angel looks cool. Sort of like an analogue to Karmic Guide. I enjoyed playing with it even though it got me no value.

Cheers for the games again. Games felt smoother without the PWs, or maybe that was just because I was on the winning side for a change

Chriskool · Apr 9, 2017

Oof, what a beating! Here's my deck (which changed to add Galvanic Arc or add Rewind or removed the 17th land... depending on how I felt):

In hindsight:

I lost a few games to mana issues. Maybe the 2nd Mutavault and/or 17th land were the issue.

I also made some very questionable plays, including a mainphase Otherworldly Journey to get an aura and untap Tallowisp to block a 1/1... which resulted in losing it to Bone Shredder.

After some discussion with Kirblinx, and getting trounced by Talrand, Sky Summoner, I should've probably played Faith Unbroken ...except that Tallowisp cannot find it! JEEZ. Changing it to Weight of Conscience and retooled auras a small bit.

Talrand, Sky Summoner and Zephid's Embrace are the only cards I'd put on my watch list after these games.

Thanks for playing, Kirb!

Aston · Apr 10, 2017

How many Cabal Therapy do you run? I've been thinking about adding a second. although I don't run Peek/Gitaxian Probe and I'd say my list is a fair bit higher powered. I've had Hymn to Tourach in that spot but that can lead to some depressing games.

Chriskool · Apr 10, 2017

I run three. It is fine with bounce/Remand as well as other discard (and no Peek/Probe). I find Hymn to be boring, and BB is a terrible mana cost. Maybe the new discard and Entomber Exarch would give therapy some more mileage in black.
