Live with the latest Magic Numbers and this time we are looking at the early 17Lands draft data for the Marvel Super Heroes. And it is at least interesting.

Идеальный ребус:

Робот придумал шифр для записи слов: заменил некоторые буквы алфавита однозначными или двузначными числами, используя только цифры 1, 2 и 3 (разные буквы он заменял разными числами). Сначала он записал шифром сам себя: РОБОТ = 3112131233. Зашифровав слова КРОКОДИЛ и БЕГЕМОТ, он с удивлением заметил, что числа вышли совершенно одинаковыми! Потом Робот записал слово МАТЕМАТИКА. Напишите число, которое у него получилось.

Saturday
MonoG Landfall W
Jeskai Lessons W
4c Control W
MonoG Landfall W
GW Gearhulk W
UR Prowess L
GW Landfall W
Jeskai Lessons W

Sunday
GW Gearhulk W
MonoG Landfall W
UR Spells W
Dimir Excursiator L
UR Spells W

HERE WE GO!

All decks felt mediocre in the last days of testing so i made impulsive decision after watching 1 game of @Huschenmtg on twitch playing Jeskai Lessons (also remembering @karsten_frank stats saying it was top1 recently). What a day!

Here's the metagame and winrate matrix from the last two weekends: Regional Championships for Australia/New Zealand, Southeast Asia, Mexico/Central America/Caribbean, Chinese Taipei, United States, and Europe/Middle East/Africa, alongside Magic Spotlight: Secrets in Chiba!

[PlayMTG @PlayMTG]

And we have a winner in Washington DC! Congrats to Jordan Selesnick, who defeats Matt Xu in the finals of #SCGDC to win the Regional Championship for the United States with Azorius Momo!

[Martin Jůza @MartinJuza]

Looks like I might have to skip the Regional Championship in Prague due to an unexpected situation. Was really looking forward to playing this deck though, so in case anyones interested in Izzet Fling:

- its really good against green and slower decks
- drake hatcher is amazing in the izzet mirrors
- 4 secret identity is the truth
- the sell-swords (flings) are actually not all that great and it might be better to replace them with more bounce spells, but they are still decent in g1 and you board them out a lot
- was planning on working on the sb today but wont be able to, theres definitely room for some improvement
- if youre playing some sort of a red deck, consider sunspine lynx vs the 4c controls
- i added a second basic bc of erode and demolition field
- list in alt

GL to everyone playing this weekend :)

https://t.co/fozqEjqMTh наш субботний экшн 🥺

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

Insane footage published over the weekend by CFSW Ukraine shows the successful interception of a Russian Kh-101 Air-Launched Cruise Missile by the Ukrainian Air Force, with the missile losing control and crashing onto an empty tennis court in the suburbs of Kyiv.

[Arne Huschenbeth @Huschenmtg]

My AC12 run ended due to an internet crash in the single elimination round of 16.

It was Game 2 and I was down a game, but I had the game 99.99% locked up. Arena did not let me log back in even though I reconnected my Internet in time.

[Anthony Lee @mtgbentcard]

I think that Wizards might have given Prowess a better Monstrous Rage by reprinting Ancestral Anger and we simply didn't notice.

I'm unsure whether I've implemented the deckbuilding implications correctly, but this felt powerful enough to take the gamble.

Andiamo cavallo! 🏇🏇

[Andrii Gusiev 🃏 @phenom_AG]

@Sierkovitz Enjoy these sessions from you!
qq: have you thought about adding Multicolor bucket (all 4colored+5colored decks)? With Pizza decks and Converge decks being strong it seems like a good idea - if there is enough data

[PlayMTG @PlayMTG]

Let's meet the Top 8 players of Magic Spotlight: Secrets and their Standard decks! 🧵

In first seed after the Swiss, Weiyang Chen 🇨🇳 proved the power of Temur Omniscience!

"I think this deck is a good choice against Prowess and Landfall."

[Andrii Gusiev 🃏 @phenom_AG]

This should be good enough for Top250 in April, i hope. With just ~26h left till closure...

[Sierkovitz @Sierkovitz]

New Magic Numbers are there and this time we are looking for color-pair specific win rates - which cards are universally good, which ones are only for one deck and which are homeless?

And in good news - I made slides for this one available for free!

[Andrii Gusiev 🃏 @phenom_AG]

@Sierkovitz Not sure if you mentioned that, but Everything pizza is counted as 5-color card on 17lands, explaining why so many 5/4 color decks are there. I totally missed that 😕

[Sierkovitz @Sierkovitz]

Which cards are the most under-valued in TMT draft? Cards that are valued in draft are picked early (their ALSA is low). And on average, cards picked early win more (see the trendline). But some cards win a lot and still go late in draft. worth knowing those.
