so much value

Thought Courier I like Civilized Scholar a lot.

I think the "only attacks and blocks" definition is more useful than "only flavor text." Curve is important for every deck. I regularly play random 2-drops in my control decks to have early blockers and a way to pressure planeswalkers. That said there are a lot of 2-3 drop creatures with...

Points of interest from two team Rochester drafts: - aggro was undervalued as usual but won as usual; Bw sacrifice aggro, WG pseudo-heroic and WB aggro all won their matches. Mono-red lost with a huge punt but was very favored to win before that point. - blue control performed pretty poorly, 1-2...

I was joking on Skype that I should just customize all the "aggro cards" to have the mythic rarity symbol. It's probably just player tendency/biases more than anything else. Argothian Enchantress and Enchantress's Presence could go, Eidolon of Blossoms has been good as just a cantripping...

Every time I stop playing hs I'm scared that they'll take away gadgetzan when I come back

Brainstorming: - how to make aggro more appealing. Aggro 3-0s every other draft thanks to people ignoring it, yet my drafters continue to ignore it. Player error or design error? - making room for more devotion cards? Specifically looking to add a green devotion incentive. Nylea or pharika?

I only play Rogue so I can draw the most cards.

2 drafts, only have one of the 3-0s. Ones 1 Sensei's Divining Top 1 Preordain 1 Repeal 1 Brainstorm Twos 1 Snap 1 Into The Roil 1 Cyclonic Rift 1 Azorius Signet 1 Daze 1 Counterspell Three 1 Coalition Relic 1 Dissolve 1 Dissipate 1 Vedalken Shackles 1 Jace Beleren Four 1 Sower of...

+ Worldknit - Ajani's Pridemate

I run a bunch of looters and could definitely see applications for the soul cycle. Also, pod, survival/fauna shaman. Also being able to dig for these effects with domri/gw ajani/biggest garruk.

The cheating accusations aren't really confirmed, some of it was just random people going "hi mom" at various points. Somebody messaged something to the effect of "his last card is Hunter's Mark" but it was after the player getting messaged had already made his play that would have been affected...

Jailbreaker and the guy who gets vigilance if you have a gate. Might run the gate untapper if I care enough to look through my bulk boxes, but probably not. Wrath effects are fine to have. Better when behind than ahead and such.

The Guildmages from both Ravnica blocks seem to be a good fit for the stated design goals. 2 drops to lower the curve a bit, activated abilities and mana sinks, etc.

imo the worst part of drafting most core sets is all the slots wasted on mill cards. I would probably swap Arbor Elf for Llanowar Elf/Elvish Mystic and add the core set duals. Double Foresee, singleton Preordain... I feel like those numbers should be swapped. Maybe try Rancor for the green...

I pretty much just say "my cube, deal with it." It helps that I'm not afraid to turn away random regulars at the store, and I never feel the need to invite strangers just to fill out a few seats in a draft.

I contemplated it. I kinda like the guildgates (also incidentally turn on the Gates-matter cards from RtR block) since there are enough decisions for early lands imo.

Syndic of Tithes has been really strong in my stack. Same for all the guildmages. While you never flood or miss land drops, you still draw some amount of conditional and/or uncastable cards so all the 2-3 drop mana sinks are great. Re: domain, I like how it influences land drops, though it has...

I cut him due to infinite combos but I'm tempted to put him back in. 2RRR for a 2/2 that requires a 4-5 mana creature to infinite with isn't the absolute worst thing I can think on. Dunno, I'm ok with people assembling goofy 3-card infinite combos (finks + sac outlet + Archangel/black Mike...

I once drafted a deck with Sprout Swarm and Recurring Nightmare and every match took about 1.5h if nobody scooped.
