At the end of round 1 game 3, why don’t you just minus 6 sorin to steal mirror entity and make all your guys 4/4?. He is tapped out, so that way he has not outs (I think). You could even have not countered elspeth and stole that to for more overkill. With your play he can maybe wrath of god into… something.
Skullclamp + Bloodghast is so broken that when the Bloodghast wheeled I would consider jumping into B/W
Thanks for the vids!
Maybe I’m biased towards white in this cube, but you had an entire sick W/x aggro deck go by without a mention in favor of unfocused durdle cards like Undermine and Wickerbough Elder. It was defensible until you passed the Armageddon without a mention…
I personally feel skullcap in your deck should have been main…it’s such a good card drawing engine in the type of deck you drafted sorin lord of tokens I get 2 cards also just my opinion.
Taking Esper charm over thran dynamo is really bad. Dynamo may have been the best card in your deck given your curve.
Sorin, Hero, Lingering Souls… Seems like plenty of skullclamp fodder for negligible cost. Also you can just put it on valuable creautures (like Hero) so that you gt return on investment when they die… or they don’t die and you win.
never cut skullclamp from this deck.
nicol bolas was errant to say the least… but if you’re trying to have fun its fair.
lingering souls + sorin should not be used to set up sorin ultimate… it should be used to beat the opponent to death with X/1 fliers. You threw away a ton of value keeping sorin around for no real reason when you could have just raced him with souls + emblems r1g1
If this is the MTGO Academy, you are most certainly a freshman. I stopped watching when you picked Bolas, and was cringing long before that. You contradict yourself multiple times in the draft, once in back to back picks. Learn to cube well before polluting the internet with your filth again.
Spoiler: It was a stinker.
In my mind, this deck wanted to play big, bomby spells in between doing little (besides living until able to do so). When I have a better connection, I will look at the W/x aggro picks passed up. Sometimes it’s hard to get out of tunnel vision when you really want something to be a certain way.
RE: Bloodghast. I hate Bloodghast in a defensive deck.
Thanks for the constructive comments. :]
I think your deck was nice.
I agree with the user “a” –getting armageddon (ravages of war) when it came so late was a big signal. You already had a white weenie strategy on the way (Lynx, Lingering Souls, Skullclamp?, etc. )
If the signals are coming, listen to them!
