Here to talk about MTG!

Literally the next Draft after I had to navigate the worst 3 packs of my life in the Arena Open day2, I open Dracosaur p1p1, force UR just for fun, and I end up with the strongest LCI deck I've played so far. Yay.🙄

[Matteo Di Napoli @Vanagor_]

1-3 after mulling to 5 more often than I kept 7, and navigating a draft drier than the desert to a medium BG descent deck (yes I know even wide open black is bad, there were literally no other options). Usual shit, never lucky, etc.
Driest draft ever:https://t.co/mdgfBH4Wk4

[Matteo Di Napoli @Vanagor_]

Fourth bullet is the lucky one this time around, after three embarrassingly low-powered pools I skillfully managed to open a decent one.
Let's see if we can finally cash one of these!

@Olmo1805 Thank you! Yes I cannot disagree unfortunately. My fear is that this is an anticipation of how the high-rare limited with the Play Boosters will look like.

[Matteo Di Napoli @Vanagor_]

2-2 and out Draft One.
Opened 3 unplayable rares and the rest of the packs were super dry as well apart from an open black lane with mostly undraftable cards.
Lost win&in against Aclazotz t5 twice. First time ramped with Hulking Raptor😃
Adios LCI you won't be remembered fondly

Took me 3 tries this time around, but third time's the charm.
Clean 7-0 with the Compass Gnome 4C special.
Compass Gnome highly recommended. Bombs recommended as well.

@CaiGiona Removal ne abbiamo?

[Matteo Di Napoli @Vanagor_]

Also I have been on the draw for eight consecutive games. Right after I trophied twice in a row. This happens "naturally" with P = 0.044. Less than 1/2000.
Since I started playing LCI I have been 16 times on the play and 29 on the draw.
@MTG_Arena is the die rigged?

[Matteo Di Napoli @Vanagor_]

I think I found the common denominator of this draft format.
Be on the Play folks.

@CommanderSUCKS @fireshoes Some B01 curve out are hard to contain no matter what when you're on the draw I guess :)

Finally starting the limited season after a disappointing 1-2 at the historic QW. Took me 4 drafts (still reading cards for the first 3😂) but I got the trophy with a nice UW artifacts&bombs!
Lost a couple while stumbling v aggro but the late game was over the top

@H6CE_ @fireshoes @Delmo222 @Mystmin Grazie! Me lo guardo, anche se non credo che giocheró questo mazzo al Qualifier bo3. Io l'ho trovato sul feed stamattina mentre facevo colazione, l'ho provato subito e in neanche mezz'ora ero qualificato, unica loss quando non ho trovato le 3 carte neanche mulligando a 3

[Matteo Di Napoli @Vanagor_]

I don't know who's the genius I ultimately have to thank for my 28 min quali, I'll thank @fireshoes for now!
Two simple tricks if you want to play this:
1) Mulligan hyper-aggressively up to 3 to find: land, fragment, leyline
2) Slip out the back the Geist's token for a free 5/5

[Matteo Di Napoli @Vanagor_]

@BenS_MTG Well done and well deserved!

[Matteo Di Napoli @Vanagor_]

0-1 and out.
Sometimes you play badly and have to own it, sometimes you play a streamlined (medium) aggro deck and while you have to mull OP curves out 7s out of a 5C deck in unbelievable ways.

[Matteo Di Napoli @Vanagor_]

@BenS_MTG You played better and deserved it 👍
When I attacked with the rat into your wolf I threw away G1, had monster role trick but didn't realise it had one already 🥲. I should've just removed it pre-combat instead of tanglespan, trying to eat both I ended up with that awkward trade

[Matteo Di Napoli @Vanagor_]

3-1 at the first Open Draft, deck was insane as my entire pod was drafting red and left me lots of goodies. Could've been a 4-0 but my draws against the master @BenS_MTG (GG) were not great and my plays even worse, as I punted at least twice.

[Matteo Di Napoli @Vanagor_]

@Stifle421 @OutgroupBot I wouldn't, glutton and grapple are also competing with Bargain

[Matteo Di Napoli @Vanagor_]

Day 2 in the Open at the first shot is a pure endorphin injection

LETSGOOOOOO we're drafting tomorrow
