This week on FECast, Sunyveil and Stormblessed answer questions from the community!

----------
NotoriousGHP:
How do you think your [Magic: the Gathering] background influenced your success in Eternal? Are there any skills or traits you think you learned more from Magic that you apply regularly, or are they are negative habits or thought processes that you have or had to change that came from being a Magic player at first?

Snowbird109:
How often should someone "practice" per day to be good?

rodcop:
Where is the meta at post balance patch?

KidSneelock:
Do you think DWD should release any new cards or make any balance changes before Worlds?

find_name_hard:
How are you planning on preparing for Worlds?

Kallously:
What are your thoughts on the health/diversity/funness of the current meta compared to last year's championship meta?

Kallously:
Are any sleeper decks on your mind that you feel haven't been quite refined yet?

WarmFerret:
I commonly see people make judgements about the health of the meta, where they express opinions like "(insert archetype) is everywhere!" or "(card) is so unfun to play against/with" etc etc.
Are there any design spaces that are fairly universally loved/hated?

WarmFerret:
What are your thoughts on random cards, a la Nictotraxian, Invoke, Cargos, Deleph, Knucklebones, etc. Are there situations/decks where you'd favor adding random card generation--for example maybe in a tournament deck it would be valuable to have the ability to invoke something outside your opponent's expectations?

pruwyben:
If you had to live in Myria, where would you be and what would you do?

Sspifffyman:
How do you go about upgrading older decks for new ladder metas? For instance I like to play control typically, but am not much of a deckbuilder. How can I update my old Hooru Control deck? And is there a way to do it without straight up brute force testing?

Tempest Dragon King:
So for a given Eternal competitive environment that you're freshly hopping into, how would you make a deck that plays favorably into many others, I.E. make a new meta deck? How would this process be different than in MtG, if there are any differences?

LetsTalkLimited:
How do you differentiate between decks that do really well on ladder and tier 1 decks for tournaments? As someone who hasn't played in any constructed tournaments, I don't really know how to think about the meta/matchups. Thanks!

Nerf2mana241s:
What does a tier 1 Azurite Prixis deck look like?

Cotillion:
What are some tips for playing against control decks? Are there any overarching strategies or a specific mindset you adopt when facing control?

meverz:
How do you judge when you should play around something your open any may have, vs play into it? Is it all just feel / experience? Or are there some overarching considerations?

Essarefess:
What one gameplay thing from another game would you like to see replicated in Eternal? Just make it something that's in-game (as in stuff in an actual match), not something tangential (ex. a feature in the client).

KidSneelock:
Do you think that DWD likes community-run tournaments and events, or would they prefer to be the main stop for any competitive Eternal events?
