Hey guys, big fan, Just wanted to say i got my first 0-3 in the format thanks to your guys, p1p1 hunters talent into p1p2 builders talent. I expect my 1500 gems in the mail
I got to say as a newly high Diamond player who was always hard stuck plat. If you open a scavengers talent it’s easy first pick. I’ve never lost a game where I’ve played it and had some insane late game come backs with it.
23:15 I am not surprised Ben had to mull 4 out of the 7 hands he had. 4 five drops + 3 four drops is not where you wanna be. This is an acertive format and you need to be on board on turn 2, which is pretty unlikely to happen early with this deck unless you force mulligans until you find cheap plays I don’t know what happened on the following picks but this deck already had good win/cons and I would have prioritized early picks (even fillers) over pretty much everything
Agreed entirely. I think Ben and Ethan are overthinking it by not going bomb into bomb. Especially Day 2 where you need to spike the draft to get any $$$. Difference between 4-3 and 0-3 is nothing. It's 6-7 wins or bust.
I'm also a huge fan of builders' talent. I've played a couple of artist's talent decks as well. My favorite one was a rakdos control deck with two Iredescent Vinelashers, Coruscation Mage, Kindlespark Duo, Steampath Chargers, lots of damage based removal and a Festival of Embers.
1:01:11 okay, in ethans defense, Ygra would turn every creature into a builders talent trigger. You could go with a WG or WB splashing Yrga and be happy with that 🤌🏾
Not a huge fan of this set, but I like it well enough to fire 2 bullets at the Arena Open. Haven't struggled this much in terms of win rate in a long time. Don't agree with the take that UB is better than WB. I think WB is quite good and if I see Essence Channel into Zoraline, I'd get hyped.
being good at combat and card evaluation does not make you a bad drafter, if anything it reflects a solid and fundamentally sound approach to the game! have more confidence friend :)
@@latinkingzgl tbf, Ixalan was one of the worst limited sets since like, Crimson Vow, but I agree it feels a lot like Ixalan, just executed substantially better.

The only 7 win draft I have had so far was a grinding rats deck with bandits talent, two Mindwhiskers, and three Psychic Whorls. Super fun!

ben's deck was insane, seems like he got insanely unlucky during his games. disagree entirely about ever not taking essence channeler into zoraline.
Not a fan of people being able to open 20 mythics and i open 0 every time....

I don’t think so, deck was way too heavy on top end, hence all those mulligans
Ya, the only card that gets close to Zoraline in power is just Thought-Stalker Warlock, which is also black. Just play bombs, baby.

Hoarders overflow has been great for me in every deck I’ve put it in. It’s usually a draw 3 if you draw it before turn 7 or something.
Fountainport Bell just goes in every deck. Screw protection is so good

No life creed duos definitely means someone else was WB
I got to draft 3 Builder’s Talents and the other white one with the turtle in a rabbit’s deck. Bonkers.
Oh yeah. I had stocking the pantry in it too.
I lost hard to a builders talent and Scavengers talent deck that milled me out so fast. It was amazing
I wish I had your perspective in regards to your OP’s success. I tilt so hard it’s silly. I didn’t used to play tilted much at all when paper drafting
I did it again. Listen to a podcast talk about a cool buildaround card and then go 1-3 with it immediately. Guess I don't have any builder's talent xD
I was trying to make BG Squirrels happen and opened P2P1 Scavengers Talent and Innkeepers Talent. I took Innkeepers but I really wasn't sure.
the builder's talent reversal was hella unexpected, there's a character drama here
Im actually having a great time with this set, my highest WR of all time
I kind of do well with linear, simple sets. Maybe I’m not a good drafter 😅

@@novasnotvibingthis guy is spittin
Hot take: Thought Shucker is among the best Blue commons and is excellent in UB.
Agreed. It’s exactly what most blue decks want. A fine cheap body that you’re totally happy to top deck late game.
Clifftop lookout is just very subpar in this format in my experience.
This set is so bad it's funny
its simple, its not bad.
Feels like supercharged Ixalan
