FINALS: we got there. One runaway Suzuka in the lobby with reasonable stamina so she didn’t die for my fronts to overtake and get the rod. Luckily taiki was able to take good position and narrowly outrun the late surgers. Will post the tape below 👇

DAY4: 12-8 - had my government mandated shit luck day again, but this one was the ‘not sure what happened there’ type rather than the ‘didn’t activate any skills’ type which is a different kind of frustrating lmao. 73.75% overall WR for the event feels fine but also bad given how much effort went

DAY3: 15-5 - main theme of stage 2 so far has been a lot more runaway suzukas which makes the lobby really messy, especially for the fronts. Thankfully taiki has been pretty consistent at converting on those.

DAY2: 16-4 - exact same record as yesterday and, as I just noticed, each of my horses won exactly the same number of races as yesterday as well lmao. Generally please with the performance, only annoying thing is that my taiki (who I high rolled on the first career) is doing better than my front

DAY1: 16-4 - felt good generally, losses were broadly in the ‘unlucky break’ category rather than getting outstatted or anything strategic. Glad I brought 2 fronts as many lobbies had no other fronts or ones that were completely misbuilt dogshit (e.g. I saw a Suzuka w/no gw or a&s but with iron?)

CM5 VIRGO CUP thread: once again felt like an extremely quick turnaround from the last one but was able to make aces I was happy enough with thankfully.

I remember drafting throne of eldraine with my friends who were very casual magic players and they didn’t realise one of the major inefficiencies in the format and I managed to draft I think 5 of this card in a UB control sort of pile and I don’t think I lost a single game lmao

Went back to redzone after the spurs/kings game finished but I just realised that they’re doing cinema for perverts so I gotta lock in

ABNORMAL PREFINALS UPDATE: due to the unusual circumstances (aoharu campaign release between stage 2 and finals) I decided to attempt to build a better ace in the new campaign. I highrolled this SMaru and then decided to double down and try to make another front ace and hit this sky. Swapped out NN.

DAY4: 14/20 - back to business mostly as usual today. Unlike yesterday a couple of losses were real head scratchers but broadly things went as they were supposed to. SMaru mostly won the front battle and oguri (real wr 17.5%) clutched a couple. Will probably try to rebuild SMaru in aoharu for finals

DAY3: 9/20 - My state appointed awful rng day. Felt like everything that could go wrong did. SMaru failed groundwork a lot more than she should’ve done with nearly 800 wit, but she made sure to activate it in every lobby with no other fronts (where it doesn’t matter) vs every failure being 3-4 frs

DAY2: 16/20 - very consistent day (4 sets of 4-1) with Smaru mostly getting it done and oguri mostly covering when things went wrong. Definitely feels like for stage 1 it would be optimal to run a second front runner as most losses were where smaru was the only front and oguri got blocked etc.

DAY 1: 15/20 - started off bad (2/5 in first attempt) partially due to rng (2x failed gw on nearly 800 wit smaru etc) and oguri wasn’t positioned to pop Iron so was unable to pick up the slack. Got better in second set but confirmed my suspicions that shift/shooting oguri more likely to be

As for the other two I decided to go with oguri pace (aka the contingency plan) and nice nature debuffer. Made a last minute new oguri and tried her for first 10 races but then decided that my CM1 oguri probably better as despite having much lower stats has better accel. NN also the one from CM1.

CM4 Leo Cup thread: Going into this one with low expectations. Have been working very hard since Summer Maruzensky came out and was unable to make an ace I was happy with (front runners are so fucking hard) so best I could do doesn’t have enough stamina/guts and is reliant on focus for groundwork

Here’s the deck etc for reference. Teio 9/9 power sparks, Bakushin 7/9 stamina sparks and enough mile to get her to A which I needed for all the races. Got lucky and went 24/24 on races which certainly helped lmao.

CM ace runs are still driving me insane so I’ve continued making team trials horses and I finally hit an S rank via witmaxxing and racemaxxing curren chan for sprint cm

I was just using horses that I’d built ‘properly’ for team trials but front runner ace run grinding has been making me insane (<20% groundwork hit rate over last few days despite sparks on all parents/grandparents) so I witmaxxed and upgraded my last 5 or 6 that were below A+ rank
