(Ignore me being bad at Limited; I did at least get to Platinum before the end of the month.)

Congrats, what are your best/favorite decks that took you to that rank?

Limited has always been hard. Even if you're good at it, it requires a lot more grinding as there is a lot of variance and it's impossible to avoid bad drafts.

8 Plains
2 Mountain
4 Temple of Triumph
1 Elegant Parlor
3 Restless Bivouac
3 Demolition Field
3 Fountainport
2 Mirrex
3 Torch the Tower
3 Lightning Helix
3 Get Lost
2 High Noon
4 Carrot Cake
2 Virtue of Loyalty
4 Urabrask's Forge
2 Enduring Innocence
4 Caretaker's Talent
2 Archangel Elspeth
1 Beza, the Bounding Spring
4 Sunfall

Sideboard
3 Authority of the Consuls
1 Torch the Tower
1 Crystal Barricade
2 Exorcise
1 High Noon
3 Rest in Peace
2 Anim Pakal, Thousandth Moon
1 Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines
1 Restless Bivouac

You're right about Limited. It's not easy to practice it without spending money. If I have a bad draft that often means I just don't play Limited again for the rest of the week.

Congrats, Evu, that is seriously awesome. I think you're the Zone's highest ranked player :P

What format or formats do you mostly play?

[–] Evu@mtgzone.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you! When it comes to ranked Constructed I pretty much only play Bo3 Standard.
