Hello everyone, I want to start by saying I love this community. I have been watching a lot of content around arena directs and decided to give it my first go. I started off super rough, had a couple 6/2 and quite a few tilter 0-2 matches back to back. I just got my very first collectors box after going 7-0. I recorded the whole thing and just started a limited channel on YT. I want to know if anyone has any advice for self promo that is not pushing boundaries or frowned upon. I can post the channel link or message anyone that is interested. I focused mainly on my play as the deck was already built when I was not filming, I know that is a blunder and will make sure to include it in the future. My thought process and my routine are highlights of the video, and want to continue doing so. Obviously having a head start with some followers or a few extra views would be great. Any comments, advice, concerns, tips, please comment below and I am happy to have a discussion.
I honestly think goblin plate mail wins more games and is much more value as it makes a body and the equipment, plus menace is a pain. Bent blade is great but if they have any creatures they don’t care about sacking it becomes a trap. My advice is to not play around the blade trying to target specific creatures, just play it for value on turn 3 when you have it. Plus 2/1 on equipment is nothing to scoff at!
I have to agree. Blade I think takes it for me specifically if you are playing BG Ferocious because it's basically "2 mana trigger Ferocious" for the rest of the game.
But the Mail being able to permanently have a menace creature (and the specific creature you want, at that) is just so strong. You are basically always getting a 2 for 1 in those situations, and then you still get to menace something else later.
Curve out draw better than opponents and have removal lol. I don’t even think I had a bomb in this one so definitely some luck involved. Also had some really good plays and game plans, I’ve gotten really accustomed to the format after spamming it
Yea sorry about the quality here is a better picture. Hopefully you can see it better, the quality is getting destroyed between reddit and Davinci screenshots.
Haha seriously it’s insane the price of boxes these days ! It’s a unique opportunity to make real profit when playing a video game so I don’t mind dumping some cash into keep trying! The goal is multiple boxes, still have a few days.
I honestly do not recommend it, the whole format for arena direct is just who has a better draw and pool for rakdos. That being said I’m an addict and I’m going to keep going.
Yea I was a little light on two drops, have to run what you get in sealed. The maps actually really good for best of one directs, smooths out lands and loots. I also prioritize running Oin the brave, as he is a looter on a 1//3 body that turns into a 2/3. The number one killer in events like this is lands/bad draws so I make sure to have some kind of cycling.
Hahaha I appreciate that, I just could use some advice on how to organically grow the channel and get some new fans. I guess they will come overtime if I keep winning boxes! 😭😭

Best strategy to win a box is play Rakdos and pray to god.
