So, I'm playing an M13 prerelease event.
Match 1, game 1, I had to mull to 4 to get a land in my hand, then was stuck at one land all game and lost.

Whoever says 17 lands in a 40 card deck is right is a horrible person.One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.-

Dual lands are budget. They're easy to trade for and usually $3-$4 a piece to fill in."I value knowledge, logic, and deceit. I love to pursue wisdom but also to manipulate and deceive. At my best, I am brilliant and progressive. At my worst, I am treacherous and cold."-

16-18 lands in your 40 card draft deck is right in 95% of all formats.
Shuffle better
If you're getting statistically highly unlikely results chances are that your shuffling is at fault. At least 13 good riffles for randomization, remember? Pile shuffling does jack, remember?ShowThat which is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil

It wasn't the greatest deck, but I thought it was a pretty solid BG aggro deck- cracked a couple Murders and some decent creatures. But I just couldn't draw land to save my life.One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly.

Truly random != broken
MTGO shuffles catch paper-players off guard more often than not because, in actuality, your paper shuffles aren't truly 100% randomized. So when put into an environment where the shufflesare100% randomized, this throws some players.Ski mask? Check! Sawed off? Check! Guilty conscience, fear of death? Check! Check! Check!

It's been mathematically proven as sound. You can google mtgo shuffler.

Same. I built White Weenie, GW Slivers, and Orzhov for Pauper. Though I may want a look at your list, since my Sliver and Orzhov decks seem a bit flat, if you're amenable.One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly.

Are StarCityGames and TCGplayer.com worthwhile places to buy cards from.

You're behind the times. I try to force black frequently. Most people who know what they're doing have been trying to do that for a while. Everyone hates black so you get like the most insane decks ever sometimes. I had a deck with 2 homicidal seclusions 3 death wind 3 bone splinters the other day. I mean, how is that even beatable?tout comprendre c'est tout pardonner-

That's what I mean, if you're the person willing to take black at the table, you can construct some sick mono black decks, but I still think a couple seraph of dawns, or wingcrafter combos put up the good fight. It just really depends, but I often see people trying to run B/X, which doesn't tend to work."I value knowledge, logic, and deceit. I love to pursue wisdom but also to manipulate and deceive.
