If this is about the one I think it is, that may have been the greatest single game I've seen on coverage.
But also this could apply to several matches.
Timeless is actually fantastic for spectators.

(The ideas are definitely extendible to other color pairs, both aggro and otherwise, so you should hopefully get something out of the article even if you never SMOrc.)

The data isn't perfect. Some players who top 8ed would have qualified through AMPs, and I count players who qualified multiple times in multiple categories separately. Used draws as 1/3 of a win (instead of the more common draws as a loss). Final numbers renormalized to 50%.

Unfortunately it's Swiftspear's Teachings which is only an alchemy card, although from a post by Jonny Guttman it seems like Vivi will also be changed in Historic.

Huh, I received my EOE collectors a little while ago. So it's not an FF supply chain issue thing.

And b) you are unable to cast 1-2 cards in your hand when you want to cast them, which the right deck is more vulnerable to (if the left has a forest and an island it should be functional). Of the two problems, a skilled player can more easily navigate the second since you can make time.

Agreed that the left deck is more vulnerable to flood, I can easily see an ouro eating a kill spell and your draw fizzling. I would like to segment mana quality into a) you are forced to mulligan because you are unable to cast half the cards in your hand, which the left is much more vulnerable to...

Frankly not even convinced the one on the right is better at fighting variance. Only 6 green sources to sami's on one sabotages a lot of draws. Beware the sauce.

And yet, you played abzan pixie in the online Seedcore league. Curious.

I'd argue that there are enough bombs with 90%+ winrate if unanswered that the extra margin is worth less than having an immediate impact. Ex. Sunfall had an 0.9% higher wr. I've beaten this a few times by going around it, tractor beam is also very funny.

I believe week 1 there were 3/22 somehow.

Valuable ideas in here, definitely read em!
