ATTENTION EVERYBODY! THIS THREAD HAS NOW BEEN HIJACKED BY THE great SUBMARINE! Jason asked me to take over. I don't play online, but I can at least try to trainwreck this draft, and maybe someone else can play my deck ;) Picks:

I quite like that enchantment! :)

Hades is awesome, yes

Well, back in it goes! ;)

Gearhulk has mana value, card types and ambush potential going for it. Sphinx is more flexible, and has evasion, but 7 mana tends to be two turns slower than 6, and that's a lot of turns.

I had Meren in my cube a looooong time ago, and it did have a tendency to become very oppressive, especially when paired with other recursion tools, because the experience counters stay, and one removal spell is not enough to keep her in check. Also, loving the back and forth here. Great...

Yeah, I loved Thought-Knot Seer and friends :)

Well, they also have colorless + {c} in the casting cost going for them, I hope they bring that back next time

I belief the Eldrazi were colorless because they, lorewise, predated the concept of colored mana. This might very well apply to Wandering Archaic as well. It is archaic after all. To be fair, I have no such explanation for the nonartifact colorless cards in other recent sets. I think it's just...

They're supposed to be flashy and dramatic, iirc, so that seems to fit, yeah.

Word of warning, Threeferi is extremely annoying to play against.

Hooray! I did see that, and I hoped WotC would have the decency to do speak out on the matter as well, so I'm happy to see they did!

At 4 mana I can't see this being pushed. Discarding Anger and Cruel Ultimatum with a Faithless Looting against an unsuspecting opponent is going to be the dream, I suspect. Magical Christmas Land scenarios aside, your opponent is going to see this coming most of the time, and most shouldn't have...

There's also Wildfire Devils

Well, I can't sit this one out, now can I ;)

As long as they're not on the stack. Split cards are great with stuff like Blast of Genius, but they don't synergize with stuff like Manaplasm (or at least not more than any normal spell).

I'ma steal this idea :P And give you credit :)

90?! A typical Battle of Wits deck runs 250 cards, because you have to both draw the enchantment and still have 200 cards left. You're never going to draft more than 45 nonland cards, and your mana is going to be hell if you don't pick up any fixing, so 45 is honestly unrealistic. So, that means...

I've been testing the MDFC lands, and they have been magnificent for me. I echo Train's thoughts on them!

Day9 is a gem
