    Sets Shadows over Innistrad Spoilers Thread

    Uncharted Realms leaves a lot to be desired most of the time, but this week's was pretty decent and we also got info on a new walker: Arlinn Kord. Werewolf Walker Lady, refreshing depiction of a middle-aged woman instead of just young girls and old hags. For sure it's a flip card, I just don't...

    Card/Deck Single Card Spotlight

    I have it in ULD for shenanigans with GSZ and fetches, but I wouldn't ever put into the main cube.

    Any early results yet? It was midterm/projects season the last two weeks for me so no time to cube. Will probably get my first draft in with OGW tomorrow though.

    This is insane, I'm so hyped to see what's in the set.

    Duskwatch Recruiter is insane. A human AND a warrior AND it's a two-drop AND it's green card advantage. Like what the crap. This is amazing at uncommon.

    I love the new colorless mechanic. Drafted OGW on Friday and had a blast with it. It introduces interesting draft tension by having to prioritize your fixing if you end up drafting a lot of cards with colorless activation costs and there's neat play with a card like Crumbling Vestige. There's a...

    It's a good article, I agree with his reasoning for the most part. Twin was fine and it did a great job policing the format and keeping certain decks honest. With it gone, I'm not looking forward to facing Tron/Affinity/Infect all the damn time. Maybe it will take a shitty Pro Tour in two weeks...

    Shamim's Cube

    Ran another draft earlier in the week, forgot to report back because of school and prerelease but I kept the decks intact. We went with our team round-robin thing again and had two 3-0 decks through the night: Ones 1 Arbor Elf 1 Birds of Paradise 1 Kird Ape 1 Grim Lavamancer 1 Wild Nacatl 1...

    Just a few changes post GP Oakland and before the OGW prerelease, had a draft earlier in the week and I'll post up a report shortly. Here were the changes we made before the draft: OUT: Frost Walker Roast Llanowar Wastes Woodland Cemetery Yavimaya Coast Temple of Mystery IN: Ludevic's...

    General Prerelease Reports?

    I played midnight prerelease last night and did 2HG earlier today, went 3-1-1 last night and 3-1-1 today. I had a really sweet RB aggro pool with a solid amount of removal, 3 of those surge menace goblins, the Threaten Eldrazi rare, and a ton of colorless Eldrazi along my 2s and 3s. It was a ton...

    General Fight Club

    Ob has been pretty great thus far. He is the blackest walker ever as far as his two abilities are concerned and he fulfills the role of a control finisher/stabilizer very nicely. On first glance he just looks boring (I held off on adding him for a while), but I've loved playing with him thus...

    I only go to 41 if I straight up am hurting for playables or can't justify a cut. It's very rare that I'll go there since I go into all my 40 card decks with the mindset of a 17/23 split of lands to creatures + spells. I mean, you can obviously change to 16/24 for a low-curve aggro deck or 18/22...

    Sets What cards from Theros are you playing?

    Forgot Satyr Wayfinder, that little dude has put in work ever since I plugged him into the cube a few months back. The ultimate roleplayer.

    Sets What cards from Theros are you playing?

    Surprised that there are so many from Theros block: Fabled Hero Banishing Light Dissolve Thassa, God of the Sea Gray Merchant of Asphodel Hero's Downfall Thoughtseize Herald of Torment Magma Jet Magma Jet Anger of the Gods Eidolon of the Great Revel Satyr Wayfinder Polukranos, World Eater Boon...

    Card/Deck Creature lands

    Folklands sounds like a folk rock festival. They'll just be manlands to me since that was what people called them when I started playing. This super PC movement is just so overdone, how can you feel so strongly about such arbitrary (for the most part) things? I'd just be tired from being...

    I'm running: Glen Elendra Archmage Venser, Shaper Savant Spell Pierce Stifle Counterspell Daze Miscalculation Remand Dissolve Cryptic Command Syncopate I probably have room for one more at some point, but I've been pretty happy with this suite of counters for blue. If you count gold cards...

    Crumbling Vestige and Mirrorpool going into ULD, everything else I'm going to try out in the main cube for a bit.

    Card/Deck Creature lands

    Will not run all ten, mostly because Lavaclaw Reaches and Stirring Wildwood aren't all that impressive at all. I don't really care for the RW one either, I like the UR one a lot, and BG just looks solid to me.
