thank you. Also uh oh what did i screw up? lol

@@dickreckard the subs count and video uploaded ratio ain't making sense

@@Samminso oh i can't help that. youtube simply doesn't put my videos in front of enough people. either the algorithm has chosen to not help me or i'm just unlucky.

Yeah. I think I've all but given them away by this point. They were horribly pringled, adding insult to injury. I think there were some really good cards given away as the bonus cards back then, but I never got them... I opened the Junji Ito Secret lair in another recording and got some neato slivers, so there's that. But when I opened the Thalia Lair (many years ago), I only got a stained glass Kasmina from WAR. I know that that was random because some people got Stained Glass Liliana from WAR or other, more playable stained glass planeswalkers.

honestly I think it's just my ex wife trying to get alimony.

and I tried to lower settings to make it easier to watch for people! ;-;

If I had to play Silver Deputy in a draft deck, I was never happy about it. Cards that put the land you're fixing for on top of the deck rather than in your hand have always underperformed. I'd rather find myself in green and draft hardbristle bandits if available. Bloomburrow has a nice variation on that type of card that I think is going to be good for the format, even though the fixing is otherwise pretty abysmal in that set.

I love that gun. I'm always hesitant to spring for the laser sight because SPINELS!!!! Is it worth it?

@@dickreckard 100% worth it. Not just improves accuracy, but all shots are considered aimed shots so you get more critical hits.

Looks like I'm gonna pick up a piece of kit next time. Thanks for the advice!

I liked the exile based removal of Black and White, but 17lands' data says that Throw from the Saddle is tied for the highest %winrate for a common card in deck at 56.7% with Trained Arynx as of this post. Mystical Tether sits at 55.6 and consuming ashes is at 55%. Lassoed by the Law has 57.4% winrate by that same source, but also you're far less likely to get copies of that card at all as an uncommon, and it costs twice as much. I think the efficiency of Throw was a huge factor in why it was so good. I stand by my assessment and allowed green to be as consistent as it was allowed to perform. Pumping a creature (sometimes permanently) and removing something you didn't want your opponent to have is sometimes too much, especially when it costs so little you can reasonably double spell that turn. www.17lands.com/card_data?expansion=OTJ&format=PremierDraft&start=2024-04-16&sort=win_rate%2Cdesc

@@dickreckard Any green card will have a higher win rate simply for being green, doesn't mean much. From that top 10 only 2 are not in green... The green deserts also have the highest win rate, even though they are functionally the same as every other desert, and arguably the black deserts are "better" since they enable crime which is what black wants to do often... By the same metric, giant beaver in a vaccum is better than stoic sphinx, which I think is false. Stoic sphynx in a vacuum is the better creature, but it's hurt by being in blue.

it's still the best removal spell (at common) in the best color. I don't know what else you're looking for. even if it wasn't propped up by being in the best color, sorcery speed pump a creature and kill something of your opponent's is still very good for 2 mana, and especially when you have several copies of it because it's a common. Oh Stoic sphynx was a win condition on its own and a reason to be in the color, and I talk about that briefly. In the almost 30 recorded draft and sealed videos I have on here, if I saw it and thought I could swing it, I was thrilled to take it. Loved that card in draft, even though it was hard to splash. But also you're comparing a draft _rare_ to a draft _common_ - you will see 4 beavers before you see one sphynx (if at all). In constructed, the comparison doesn't matter and you can slot in whatever, but in draft, assuming you're going to get any specific rare is fantasy. Additionally, 1 green pip is far easier to swing in any deck playing G+ something else than double U. If you're in some 4 color soup, beavers are far easier to play on curve. If I was in any blue splash, I would hope it was Grixis with less leaning in blue. A double U pip gives me pause. I'd still play it but wouldn't be surprised if I couldn't reliably cast it until turn 6+ Anecdotally, In an earlier draft, having failed to draw my second U source for a while, While resolving Make your Own Luck, I ended up choosing to plot sphynx over a 5 drop because I couldn't reliably cast it, foregoing any surprise factor. Still was good.

@@dickreckard And the deserts, why do green deserts have a better win rate than black the others?

I saw the anime on the sci fi channel when i was really young but remember nothing about it other than Laios makes them eat monsters.

oh wow that's a good point. it would've removed the blocker after blocks were declared. I didn't even catch that on my rewatch with the clarity afforded by hindsight.

it's what i call the homies because I AM DICK (reckard) it's kinda like deadheads being fans of the grateful dead.

@dickreckard I understood it straight away. I meant it.... it actually court my attention

thank you for the kind words. also, you're a 100% right. I'm very aware of the fact that i say "ummmmmmmmmmmmm" and "like" among other filler words to dig for the right vocabulary while I'm talking. part of content creation and streaming is me trying to break that habit, honestly, among other things.

assisted is for babbys.

play it with this mod installed you won't

@@dickreckard Damn fucking right I wont Im a big pussy!

😢

I noticed that on the rewatch. There is another missed lethal in the video as well. HAHA hindsight is 20/20.

lol whoops i have to ;-;

it's not bad, but its not spooky.

The Razzle Dazzler was unblockable that turn.

I learned that a few days later. This was a day 1 recording since I wasn't live on twitch with it, but a few days later I do 4 color nonsense with 7 of those dual-deserts, based in UB crimes. There was a game where I use a plotted Rakdos Joins Up from Make your Own Luck (so my opponent knows it's coming) to bring back Bonnie Paul with 2 +1/+1 counters and you can tell my opponent is OVER IT.

the worst feeling in any game of magic is not losing to a massive bomb but drawing what feels like almost every land in your deck. or scooping to UW control.

@@dickreckard Lost a game against UW control in draft yesterday 😅 They somehow had nothing but flash creatures, counters, and flash creatures that also counter

@@kevinpeck1652 that's the dream in this format, but its hard to assemble. I haven't managed it yet in this format. maybe one day...

actually no.

@@dickreckard never enough

i really like these lands.

I don't know if I'm going to finish it ;-;

@@dickreckard gotta push on through

@@TheZooted1 but the final boss is haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard ;-;

he synergizes best with the UG proliferate deck, which I believe was actually quite bad in the format, but an indestructible 3/5 flier for 4 is hard to say no to.

@@dickreckard him with some UB poison sounds scary

oh dude, the standard challenger decks they released from this year had like 11 copies of each full art land in each of them (except UB which had snow lands).

@@dickreckard hell yea

that's not a real card lol

@@dickreckard did i get the name of the rare wrong lol

@@dickreckard i meant reckless joy lmao

Its early ok lmao

@@TheZooted1 loll you combined 2 of the card names. Shit, I wish you could get X Azusa's Endless Journeys off a card.

it's such a good card.

That's a good one, too. I had to reread it like, 3 times lol

It's fun so far. Maybe... Maybe it'll get worse as the season moves forwards.

Oh it happened three separate times in December 2023 on MTG Arena. You couldn't have missed it if you were playing back then. I only tried twice, despite winning the first time. The recordings are on my channel! But I'll update the description of the video if it's not already referenced.

Thanks! You too!
