I doubt they will be able to make mechs better than Valimar, he is probably powered by a Sept-terrion. I assume that is where that plot point is headed.

Yeah it's bad. There are a lot of lousy social links in P3. FeMC gets it much better if you ever do that.

I think you do need to save scum for that?
---

Just killing time until the world ends.

Because the arcade games boost different stats at different days of the week, your social stat boosts over time end up somewhat predictable, so you don't really need to go out of your way to manage them as long as you're doing them whenever nighttime links are unavailable. And you can get most of the points you need for link requirements just by doing that constantly. The only real issue is making sure you have enough cash early on.

There should be a more precise guide out there somewhere, I would think. But it does pretty much boil down to 'play stat boosting game unless link is available, in which case do that, unless you haven't finished the current tartarus section, in which case do that'.

In my second draft, I went too deep. Drafted BUG control with finishers of Rite of Belzenlok, Multani, and Sylvan Awakening. Unfortunately I only went 1-2, but I think if I had some better card advantage tools or counterspells I could have gotten there. The games where I won looked like absolute stomps, I would have 5-10 cards left in deck and a massive board and Sylvan Awakening for millions. But my opponents kept playing cards I had a hard time doing anything about, like Teferi and Icy Manipulator, which is why the lack of counterspells was particularly tough.

Just killing time until the world ends.

I 3-0'd mine just now! It was a fairly mediocre UR Wizards deck, though Zahid and Karn's Temporal Sundering were nice. I think aside from round 1 my opponents didn't end up putting up much of a fight. In particular, game 3 of round 2, I had out a 5/4 flying Keldon Raider and Howling Golem against my opponent's 2 loyalty Karn and Saproling token. I have some decent cards in hand, like Temporal Sundering and Academy Journeymage. It's my opponent's turn and they have 7 cards in hand pre-Karn. They have a Mammoth Spider and Gift of Growth exiled that they can get back. They're at 20. The sky is the limit here in terms of what they can do. The game could go anywhere. They could easily find blockers or removal for my flier, even if Karn dies, and stall the game out until they kick their Josu Vess. Maybe I draw one of my legends and get to kill them with Temporal Sundering.

Then they time out.

Just killing time until the world ends.

Played round 1 of my first Dominaria draft, immediately traumatized. Game 1 my opponent plays Phyrexian Scriptures while I'm stumbling and then Rona to get it back. Game 2 I mostly just play creatures and removal and not much happens. Game 3 is an insane back and forth where my opponent chooses to play a Phyrexian Scriptures while I control only artifact creatures, solely for the +1/+1 counter, kills the Zahid I'd been punching them with using Yawgmoth's Vile Offering while getting back their big Vampire, and then the turn before I'm about to kill them, slams Primevals' Glorious Rebirth, bringing back Danitha, Arvad, and Kazarov, which all have haste since it was Garna turning it on.

I chump block down to 1 while my opponent goes back up to 13. My board is Howling Golem and Valduk. My opponent knows I have a Run Amok in hand. And what do I play? Karn's Temporal Sundering, bouncing Danitha. My opponent even has a Syncopate in hand, but is tapped down too much and can't stop me. 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 3 = 13.

Complete absurdity the whole way through.

Just killing time until the world ends.

Ah, with mana sinks like Slimefoot and 7 drops, I definitely think you should not go below 17. It's just so easy for these cards to make up for excess lands. Your deck also sounds insane incidentally.

Also Mending of Dominaria. Card advantage engines are another good reason to play excess lands. If you expect to be drawing 5 more cards than your opponent over a game, it doesn't matter if you draw three more lands than them.
---

Just killing time until the world ends.

I assume you want to skew towards 17-18 in this format due to kicker being a good mana sink, but having multiple mana sources as spells tends to push it down instead, so it's not that surprising.

Sayonara (All Phase Mix)

The main bracket is really easy to me. Ever since I heard Sayonara in round 1, I've been more and more a fan of it. It really sucks that even if it wins I'm going to vote for its opponent next round. Side bracket is pretty eh but Whims of Fate is still fun.

Just killing time until the world ends.

I did have an alternate deck in my pool that seemed pretty interesting and I wish I had actually put together at least once. I was going to build UB mega control. I was thinking of playing some durdley cheap creatures to block with, all my removal and bounce, three Divinations, and a couple of mediocre 6 drops to actually kill with. The icing on the cake would have been The Mirari Conjecture. It didn't look like a consistent deck but it might have actually worked out in some of my matches. At least, it makes me wonder just how slow you can actually go.

One Night In Neo Kobe City
Deadman falling
Melodies of Life

First match is relatively close. Second match isn't, I don't think Gusty Garden Galaxy is that good. I don't really like either song in the side bracket that much, but I guess I'll favor the song that sounds pleasant.
---

Just killing time until the world ends.

I went 2-2 with a fairly medium RG deck splashing black for Vicious Offering, Cast Down, and The Eldest Reborn. I had decent threats and a passable amount of removal but had a hard time dealing with large legendary creatures. I lost one close game to Evra, Halcyon Witness equipped with Dub, which I was utterly incapable of doing anything about, and lost another match pretty handily to Aryel, Knight of Windgrace. I did get to play a turn 5 Verdant Force off Radha in one game though, so I did live the dream at least once.

I'm hopeful for draft being great. Sealed might suck, but then it almost always does in my opinion.

In Circles
Heavenly Flight
Look Pimpin'

In Circles is nice. OVERDOSE is okay. Heavenly Flight is great, I like the orchestral stuff a lot. I don't think The Last Game We May Ever Play is my thing, I don't like it anyway. Homecoming Hijinx was fairly weak to me, didn't like all the buildup sections, and at least I sorta appreciate Look Pimpin''s style.

The Tower (Quiet)
A Scattered Moment
Deep Forest

Voting The Tower mostly for the vocals in the last minute. Dr. Fetus's Castle isn't too good so. I thought A Scattered Moment was pretty cool. It seems like both it and Don't Speak her Name both are kind of similar sorrowful+epic moods, but I think it comes across better in A Scattered Moment. So Deep Forest is kind of a pet track of mine, which is why I put it up for the side bracket. I didn't really expect it to grab people, it's just that I found it to be a great evocative atmospheric track. Apparently Mycro likes it more than I do somehow. I don't mind Blue Skies, it has some pretty good parts, the vocals kind of bother me a bit.

Mourning Refrain
Amusement Park
The Danger Zone

The Fire Emblem theme just isn't too interesting to me. I really like Mourning Refrain, not as much the chorus but the melody of the verse itself is good. Blue Radiance also doesn't interest me in particular. Amusement Park is solid with those great Nier vocals. I like the jazzy bits of The Danger Zone in the middle, and overall think it's good. Just fun the whole way through. High School Love... I don't mind the instrumentals really, but the vocals are way too cheesy for me to really get into it. Maybe that's unfair? Well, then let me be unfair.

Primal Dialga Battle
Denshi no Shi -Verum-
Tantal Day

I like Gust stuff, but Salamander seems fairly mediocre to me. I liked the melody of Primal Dialga Battle. I've always liked Denshi no Shi due to Itou Kanako's great vocals, and Praying Hands is a pretty weak opponent for it. Also hard for chiptune stuff to appeal to me overall. The side match is pretty good and close, I didn't like the... electronic? not sure really how to describe it, but a bit of On the Verge of Madness as it's something I seem to hear too often and never like.

A Name Cast Off from the Edge

Didn't really like Fallen Angel's vocals at all, that's not a style I tend to like. A Name Cast Off from the Edge was pretty good. To Become the Foundation of the World is one of my favorite Cold Steel tracks from a soundtrack I really like, but I did like Your Contract Has Expired also. Just, less. I hated Convoy Country. MAIN MEN wasn't too bad.

Striking the Octopus is good. Activation's fine, though I feel like I hear similar stuff all the time in certain video game levels.

Side bracket is really no contest, I don't care about Space Jam remixes.

Albireo Lake is meh, it feels like it could have been very good but didn't really get there. Nier Automata's style is enjoyable.

I have no idea how you're coming up with something like 'general success rate' for a character archetype, it sounds extremely arbitrary to me. If you want to say 'I usually don't like characters like that' then just do that

I mean that's exactly what I'm saying just with different words

I apologize that you did not appreciate my choice of words

I'm not talking about some "objective" standard because that's nonsense

Okay then. I did misunderstand you and thought it was a more general claim, so my bad there. It is something I see claimed occasionally when people want to rationalize a preference of theirs and it just rubs me the wrong way.
