Where is it better to test? IRL or M-L/MWS

theMamba claims that ML rating is more important than anything else. And claims that RDW can beat Ramp.

This is to prove two things at once so people will understand where to test.

IRL or On this ..herm..Dont wanna be a liar calling it a good site and all, but I love the Admin. Gfo the most Wink

Testing on here gives every player every card. This is very cheap, I mean there isn't anything cheaper then free. It also means that random people will sometimes make random decks and it won't be great to test against. The time wasted on those matches is what we pay for playing here. There are a lot of good players you just gotta play to face them.

Agreed mwsplay is the best testing. Simple math: Best players + best decks + best additude = best testing. And you get all that from mwsplay.

except that you never get that on mwsplay, its always some noob who doesnt know the rules with crappy decks, just get a good test group and it wont matter.

As long as you have a test group made of rational people that are very good at playing, anywhere.

Doesn't matter if its irl or in mws. What really matters is the ppl that play with you, and if u can discuss matchups and card choices with them.

the best thing MWS gives you is the ability to play your deck against real people. It really doesn't matter if they are NOOBS or bad players. You don't really do the serious testing here, you do that IRL before you play in PTQs and major tourneys.

MWS gives you the ability to quickly make changes to your deck and test them. Sometimes you get good games out of it as well. Just play your changes in a mini or trial and you are sure to play against other competitive players.

I don't know though, but it works for me.
