What's your thoughts on Pick your Poison?

I almost always put it in my green decks as it almost always has a target and can lead to some very efficient turns and big blowouts. The amount of tempo you gain by making your opp sack a Makeshift Binding, Buried in the Garden, Coerced to Kill, Ezrim, Veinripper or just a regular flyer or solved case is just amazing.

I've noticed that most streamers and content creators stays away from it but I really like it.

​

I used to get all of my Limited content from the Limited Resources podcast. Unfortunatley, due to unforseen circumstances, I am no longer able to listen to them. My question is who are other viable Limited content creators? I am maybe a top gold, low diamond drafter so I am by no means a pro, building consistant synergistic decks is what I struggle with the most. Who do you recommend I listen to and support. The only other podcast I know about are Lords of Limited, and while I am currently boycotting them, I am willing to be sold on why I should give them another shot.

Tl;Dr: Who are your favourite content creators and why?

I had two sub themes going during my draft... the first was P1P2 [[Niv-Mizzet, Guildpact]], picking up fixing and 2-color cards when nothing else too great was available. I'm mostly White with some Black and Green.

The other was a fairly late [[Insidious Roots]] I picked up as a long-shot.

I think I may have failed pulling off the early Niv, but may have gotten just lucky enough with the late Roots

Let's do Roots first... cards that remove themselves or other cards from my graveyards:

(oddly, no Collect Evidence) [[Rubberbelt Maverick]], 2x [[Gravestone Strider]], [[Macabre Reconstruction]], [[Griffnaut Tracker]], and [[Convenient Target]] if I chose to add Red, which is unlikely if I'm not playing Niv also

As for Niv... here's my fixing:

[[Topiary Panther]], [[Buried in the Garden]], 2x Gravestone Strider, [[They Went This Way]], [[Public Thoroughfare]]

And these are my exactly 2- color cards:

[[Kraul Whipcracker]], [[Dog Walker]], [[Faerie Snoop]], [[Wispdrinker Vampire]], Buried in the Garden, [[Crowd-Control Warden]], and of course Roots if I somehow find myself playing Niv AND Roots (seems very unlikely)

So the question is, are either of Niv or Roots worth playing? Honestly, while I think my Abzan deck is OK without them, it certainly isn't great.

Many MANY thanks to anyone that reads all that and responds.

Whenever I watch streamers, they often seem to effortlessly draft amazing decks.

Seriously, it’s like, “Oh cool; here’s that 2-drop I need, here’s another bomb. Good.”

And I see their picks and think, “Well, If I opened those packs, I’d pick exactly the same and be laughing!”

Even when I find my colours quickly, it seems that less good cards come my way. I’m wondering if, because I start every season at bronze, my draft table is less competent and the other players are taking good cards they can’t play, due to not reading signals etc. Or even just by rare drafting, which seems pretty pointless on Arena but ok.

Is it possible that, if I were playing with better players, I’d see more good cards?

Please help me; my ego needs this.

Hi all,

this is my first quick draft in Murders at Karlov Manor. Largely followed the guidance of Untappd and limitedgrades.com on this one since don't have much experience playing with these cards yet. I've built the deck but wanted to post before playing to see if you have any suggestions for replacements. The fixing seems good so I should be able to run three colors, I reckon.

Thanks for all your help.

"Everybody" knows that dog walker is unbelievably strong. It's just a good card. I've seen and heard it a million times, if you see it, you take it.

So now my question is, how do you play it? Do you play it on 2 and skip the tokens? If I play it on 3 with disguise, when do I flip it up? Do I flip it up on end step to untap with 3 extra power, or do I flip to trade and trade up with upside? I have a hard time holding up the mana to flip up, because either I'm the best down and I want to attack with the disguise and then I can't trade up if I have to, or I'm trying to catch up and want to get a 4- or 5-drop down.

What's the play here?

Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to magic. So far we have played Jumpstart 2020 and we really like it. We liked it so much that we bought a few commander decks so that we can play multiplayer (4 of us). We are now contemplating on trying limited, either sealed or draft. Just wanted to get your opinions on what of the following sets would be beginner friendly?

CBR ONE BRO MOM AFR

I can get any one for a good price. Thanks in advance!

I’m pretty bad at Booster Draft but gradually getting better. I’m thinking of streaming, just for the fun of it.

Would a British 40 something streamer who’s crap but learning interest anyone?

You can laugh at me in the chat; I have no pride.

Was sitting at my local LGS and were musing over what is the most game-winning, bomb in draft in the past 10 years. Think Gruff Triplets in WOE, Izoni in MKM, bonehoard dracosaur in IXI.

Lets put aside power nine, blah stuff like that. In the past 15 years or so, what was the most "If I play this, the game is over" card.

For the record, cards like [[Pack Rat]] were top examples.

Hi everyone!

I am stuck at Platinum with a Winrate of about 30%. This is far worse than I usually do.

I just went 0-3 with the deck below. The goblin maskmakers are a little awkward, because I don't have many disguise creatures, but I am short on creatures. White was completly cut in Pack 2, but the draft felt pretty on rails after Incinerator -> Helix -> Galvanize -> Parlor...
Didn't see On The Job once.

But even with white cut, the deck looks above average to me. Shouldn't I get a few wins with this?

I would call it bad luck and not bother that much, but in this format I just keep losing with what looks like solid decks to me. Did the power level change so much, because of playboosters?

I’ve been playing Magic on and off for years; mainly off, to be honest.

But a few months ago, I decided to actually get good at Limited. I had tried it a few times in the past and always got crushed.

Anyway, today was the first day that I’ve been able to find my lane during the actual drafting, and I made 3 serviceable decks and, today, have won over 40% of my matches.

Something just clicked in my mind; I knew how drafting worked before this, but didn’t UNDERSTAND it.

Just sharing this with you all to celebrate.

Once I hit Plat 2, Plat 3 I’ve been on a rough rough cold streak. Got my first trophy for MKM and since then my winrate has dropped significantly to the lowest it has been in a while something in the 20s percentile. Any general advice on what to do when this happens? Had a rough personal family event happen right before this streak so I’m wondering if it’s just me not being focused enough or what.
