Still, though, 1st place with 64 players consistently? I am assuming a good chunk of the 64 are running these "meta decks" as you call them, right? Not sure if impressed or scared.


I generally main deck to counter the number 1 expected deck, plus play generic counters to soft counter meta and non meta. Sideboard to counter the 2nd and 3rd most expected.

People playing anything below that more often than not aren't very skilled, or are playing antimeta too, so the match up is decided by who knows how to play the deck better.

That's what's worked for me rather well for a number of years.

Alan, get me pizza too please.

Every time a ban list hits, or a new meta deck comes out, you need to reanalyse the meta and how your antimeta deck fits in/whether your deck is still viable at all, and switch to something else if playing the best antimeta cards would hurt yourself.

Yep, that's pretty much how magic, or any card game goes. I just didn't expect it to be that explicit.

The sad thing is that Dema knows I'm not going to lynch him while he's afk, because that would be bad sport.

Maybe he's so scared that I'll lynch him that he's making this up to buy himself another day.

Sounds pretty scummy, let's lynch him.

If it means lynching you, I'd listen to Linkcat.

Also that and if I needed advice on bowties. Link's is fabulous.
