There's also that Red spell that hits everything for two for three, a lot of decks are going to have a very hard time with that.

The problem seems to be when you define 'good deck' as one that can get to Platinum that's an incredibly wide field after the changes to Gold.

Unless I'm missing something that just seems like a good synergy for an under-used deck whereas Splinter Twin was literally going infinite?

RG is pretty bad in Zendikar draft, welcome to the revolution

Red is pretty bad in Zendikar draft in general I'm finding, outside of obvious stuff like Roil Eruption that get snapped up immediately.

I uh...think I drafted an insane deck. Can I get a check to make sure I built it correctly, cuz...I think I could go like 7-0 with it if I play it right.



ed: Somehow I missed removing Goma Fada Vanguard. I also removed Farsight Adept but I'm split on that.

Risen Riptide seems like it's only going to be a 0/5 blocker most of the time, I wouldn't say running two is a good idea. Running three Scale also might be a bit much even if you're planning to turbo out Omnath. But yeah, post your sideboard.

Grabbed a Nighthawk Ambusher and two Thought-Thieves in draft, went 1-3. I should stop thinking "this would be fun to play" when I do them, it always ends up being a trap for me.

Did they turn off the grace matching for the precon decks? Rolled a 30 Blue/Green quest today and didn't really feel like jamming something together, but it's mostly been putting me against Rogue decks.

I wish BB wasn't a Mythic so they wouldn't have been obligated to give him that loving animation. Actually why is he even Mythic (apart from being a chase card obvs). Who is this smug motherfucker supposed to be

A replacement for another card that could have been in that mythic slot, if I recall.

Captain Invictus posted:

it's gonna be interesting once Ugin rotates out because he is such a catch-all answer to a lot of decks if they don't kill you fast enough. Hell I've seen rogue decks slotting in an ugin or two just because it's so ridiculously strong, in case they lose control of things in the late game I guess. this guy set up all this stuff and I managed to plink away at his weenie horde long enough to build up the land to drop an ugin, and it's just entirely game over for him.


side note, the constantly looping jingling sound from heliod's lifegain trigger is the loving worst

I wouldn't say interesting, I'd say better.

Really hate those drafts when everything comes together really well the first game, then it turns out that was because your three losses were going to be incredibly frustrating to experience.
