General Riptide's P1P1 Thread

@henkdetenk I would take Fiery Temper from that pack. Old school cubes often have few etb effects and removal is stronger there. I also love madness beyond reason, so I can't help myself anyway. If it wasn't Fiery Temper, I'd pick Disintegrate, Jilt or Deep Analysis, so this pack would lead me down an blue or red path either way.

@gaytransmulldrifter Here I would probably also take FTk over Opposition, because I wouldn't be sure, if I could make really that many tokens in an old school cube, so the kavu might just be better. But I agree with Mondschwein, these two seem like the power outliers here. Beyond that, not so sure, but I think Overgrowth is an underrated card.

Well, I might post a pack as well.

Lots of black in that pack so I'm not picking any of these as it would be very likely to not see a lot of black cards in pack 2, although I like shredder and order a lot and even the knight feels good to pick for me.

Loch Dragon is very color intense but it looks like it could be a good enabler for UR madness or draw/discard matters. Also a respectable evasive body.

Invoke the winds is very good but makes even splashing a bit hard. A pass for me.

Machete is good for aggro and colorless, cat collector looks at least interesting and krushok is just a great card overall. Since there is only one more green card in that pack I'm going with the flexible krushok but machete is quite close behind.
