68 QPs. Fear me.
Do you even work anymore? This is just stupid
I actually call grinding "going to work".

Since the GP I've been playing A LOT. I've cut back on all my other time sinks and am very focused in doing well on magic. Thankfully pip and mg friends are all encouraging me to do my best (most if my friends came to watch at the GP for example).

You really do, lots of people on this forum believe UWx Control is a easy MU but I think its just because the number of competent control players is low.

I don't think its horrible by any means, but I hate reading comment like "A why worry about Control or why do you have so many SB card for that easy MU" - 2-3x Dispel and its almost a bye for UWx Control without those SB (drinkers, firstblade, SBD or what not).

I'm essentially on the #yolo QP grinding plan. I only have time for 1 event a day, 8 more QPs for an LED, and 7 days left until season 4 ends.

Come on top deck!

This is me except I'll prob only have a few 8 mans/drafts and a couple sealed dailies to get the necessary qps. I'm banking on solid sealed pools basically.

I hope so, but I'm not hoping on it!

How is the competition in sealed dailies? I'd like to use these prize packs for entry, but if it's low EV because of my unfamiliarity with the format, I'm better off playing constructed and selling the packs.

I would say I go at least 2-2 about 95% of the time, at least 3-1 about 50% of the time, and 4-0 like 15% of the time?

The competition in rounds 1 and 2 is typically low, but once you're 2-0 you'll start facing limited grinders and getting that 4th win can be quite a challenge. I think it's a nice change of pace to constructed and I'm definitely better at it, but if you can win constructed dailies, then you should just stick to that.

Personally, I have a sealed PTQ coming up and then a moden GP so I should really be preparing for those. Since modern costs way too much to get into, and i dont know what i should play, I've been postponing my preparation for that event.
