Goldfishing is best to figure out if you have enough lands, and enough card draw. Beyond that, you need to play some proper games. Because of the natural variance of playing a 100-card singleton multiplayer format, it’s hard to get a read on your deck unless you get some reps in. Personally, I don’t tend to feel justified in making cuts and changes to my beta list until I’ve played ten games. While my gut instinct is usually correct before I hit that tenth game, you absolutely need to account for variance. Some games opponents and conditions enable you a lot more, and likewise, some games you’ll just flood.
