Because I record data on what ended up in side boards, draft records, and the like, I developed the habit of making packs at the end of a draft. It also lets me fire without delay. Although, my players have weirdly never complained about not seperating lands out of their decks.

I have to disagree here. Great fixing is great for every draft format, even those not focused on multicolor, but more importantly, they don't actually need to print duals in every set. If they did, you would have 5-8 duals in Standard at all times, which is a bit too much for their tastes (I...

In multicolored sets having stronger uncommon fixing would be phenominal from a draft perspective. Ditto to varying degrees for other sets (Innistrad, Ixilan, or Lorwyn could use some), but I agree with Gozmit97 that there is a very real draft perspective to be taken into account. When printing...

I was referring to the converted mana cost that I predict will cause it to be more difficult to play unless you are willing to pay a higher opertunity cost. Good point on when the Impulse side becomes more appealing. However, I would consider Impulse to be card advantage as it allows you to get...

I will give you most of what you are saying, but I am too much of a adherent to the recently formed white vampire cult to let that one slide. Vampires have historically been tied to black due to their willingness to get what they want (often times blood), through the usage of others. This is...

Mana Leak + Impulse split card? I like it. Not sure it stacks up properly to other blue three drops in cube, but I'll try any form card advantage atleast once. Now if you'll excuse me I have to get back to decking myself by accident.

This gets me a little excited for EDH. I like it as a value engine; however, there is not a lot of -1/-1 counter support. It also has some potential in cube, but as an archetype it would likely end up due to low number of support cards (I do not include infect as support) and potential for...

1) Thank you for phrasing it that way. 2) Is it just me or is there a W Vampire cult? Not sure where the thematic B vampires are. (Only one is vampire is spoiled and it is a knight.) Evidence: Bishop of Rebirth Sun Titan: The Next Generation 3WW Creature - Vampire Cleric Sun Titan sans ETB...

I probably misphrased my underlying question regarding Nicol Bolas, the Deciever's existance. While I do recognize that the planeswalker decks are designed specifically for newer players, it seems like Wizards is missing out on the possibility to make additional sales by having the cards be...

Probably better than DC but worse than Marvel.

Ditto. I love the unhinged lands. Also of some note is that the planeswalker deck Nicol Bolas was spoiled. Nicol Bolas, the Deciever 5UBR +3: Each opponent loses 3 life unless they sacrifices a nonland permanant or discard a card. -3: Destroy a creature. Draw a card. -11: Nicol Bolas, the...

My thought process is that is works either late game where it really does not matter or in a deck that is pushing signets as a form of ramp. This way the secondary effect is negated by not working or allows an aggro or midrange deck to minimize the problem with good game play. I like the fact...

The God-Pharaoh has arrived! Unfortunately, he has also become less elegant/powerful than his previous incatnation - Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker. Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker Other goods spoil/leaked so far are: Personally, I am most excited for Bontu's Last Reckoning due to being a...

I think that the real difference between Ogre Battledriver and Anger is where they work from. In this is suggest asking yourself how easy it is to get Anger into your graveyard as it can be easily stonewall, chumped, or let though if you plan to get it from the battlefield to the grave. If you...

I replaced Roar of the Wurm for it as I like the trample, lower front side cmc, and the zombie typing can be relevant. So far I have no complaints with the switch as it boost the decks properly without being viably chump blocked. Otherwise they both serve as incentives for green ramp decks...
