Living the life in chaos draft

@paolo_donfra Imagine being the person on the mtgo team in charge of making this interact properly with Unearth.

@HexLexYGO "I acknowledge that this behaviour was designed to be upsetting, but also have you considered that it should be allowed because you could choose to be less upset?"

[pproteus @pproteus47]

@alysanmati Easy way to identify this as not-a-cherry: the flower is on the far end of the fruit (as compared to the stem).

[pproteus @pproteus47]

@ghpar4 @mtg_ds @17Lands I suspect it's Arachnoid Adaptation (the combat trick for {G})

@GavinVerhey @fireshoes @phoxie_lol Hey Gavin. The legacy announcement here suggests that when two decks have "combined presence approaching 30% of the field", a ban might be warranted. I'm wondering if that logic also applies to pauper?

[pproteus @pproteus47]

@mtg_ds A line is a subsection of the game tree for which you've determined your preferred move at each node in advance. While the game is inside a line, you are happy to take those game actions without stopping for further tree search.

@rcsaxe Idk how to compare 2010 cards to today's, but I want to add Emrakul's Hatcher to the list of great common red 5s

[pproteus @pproteus47]

@MeyerEmpire The main problem is that once I stick a battle screech I'm usually in great shape unless opponent has a sweeper, so I want to not overextend; Vet is another 1-health dude that dies to the same sweepers, while also actively rewarding me for overextending.

First pauper league in months. 5-0 with bully. #PlayMoreThrabenInspector

[pproteus @pproteus47]

@MeyerEmpire Lunarch Vet has just never impressed me in this deck.

[pproteus @pproteus47]

@nerdtothecore I just had to see what all the fuss was about :)

[pproteus @pproteus47]

@MeyerEmpire Oh haha. I didn't plan to side them in except vs red, so probably?

I mean I guess I'd side in Dawnbringer vs Hexproof so there are costs.

[pproteus @pproteus47]

@MeyerEmpire 1 Dawnbringer md seems nice for answering random enchantments, seems better than like ORing, maybe?

[pproteus @pproteus47]

@paolo_donfra @raptor56mtg @an_plane Used the draft log to help paste the pack contents. Had to initially prompt the AI in such a way that in would remember what it was doing across 45 messages, which was only somewhat successful.

[pproteus @pproteus47]

@raptor56mtg @an_plane Getting it to build a manabase seems like the hardest part. ChatGPT is very good at lots of things, but not at counting to 40.

[pproteus @pproteus47]

@LipetzNathan Ok, I admit, cutting the elf is a good point, that didn't make a lot of sense to me.

Overall, I've quite liked having random mediocre new card around though, and I enjoy the feel changing version-to-version with them

[pproteus @pproteus47]

@LipetzNathan I agree that monowhite is always open, but that's not exactly new

[pproteus @pproteus47]

@LipetzNathan > Cutting "no fun" cards for shitty standard unplayables
Is there a particular swap you're referring to here? Very few of the most-recent swaps fit that description literally imo. Unless you haven't played the mtgo vintage cube in like a year.
