That's the main problem with Thunderous Wrath- to get the most out of it, you need to play it immediately when you draw it, regardless of whether you want to or not. Sometimes that won't be a problem- if you're playing burn, you can just aim for the dome. But as a source of creature removal, it's not that much better than an L-Bolt; it's got a bit more reach, but I wonder how often you'll really need the extra damage for targetting a creature.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

Because of course we're all 12 years old. Getting "lip" is not the same as stating opinions and why one disagrees with them, which is what this thread has contained.

Depends on the format, but I'm /in for Netdraft at some point. Haven't done any drafting of DII though.

Shards was a pain in the ass. RGD was pretty tough once it got rolling too, there was about a thousand ways to run most drafts, and endless traps for you.

IIP was an awesome draft format too, but it gained a tad more of a 'now we roll the dice feel' in IPA.

The problem I had with Shards was that you could just get blown out by random dumbstuff even if you did everything correctly. Behomoth Sledge wasn't Jitte levels of broken (fun fact: no human on this planet has ever lost a game of Kamigawa Block Draft with a Jitte in play) but it was an uncommon, and that made that happen just often enough to really grind my gears. Also that stupid Lavalanch spell that just read 'blowout target player. Laugh.'

I think we can all agree that Besieged/SOM/SOM was the worst draft format of recent years.

I have to say though, I never got to draft RoE x3 and that makes me sad. It looks like it'd be a ton of fun.

I dunno. You gotta give some credit to the CBS draft. Grab shoddy creatures, try to get there. Literally the only coherent strategy.

http://netdraft.wikispaces.com/ - this explains it.

It's a real draft, sealed Innestrad looks physically painful.

Sealed INN and Sealed DII is actually really fun. Lots of cohesive strategies, some decent removal.

New Spoilers!

Green Miracle is rare, which is good because it's a limited blowout. Constructed terrible though.
New Blue Planeswalker! Removal is its +1 ability! Sadly it's the 'tap forever' flavor. -2 is card draw, although questionable card draw. Overall, for 5, I want a little more.
Another Aura Enabler Creature! Because all of those have been good in the past.
6 mana 5/5 with deathtouch that's just worse than the titans! Ooh!

Titans rotate in 6 months' time, and they're almost guaranteed not being reprinted. I want to make a proper U/W Spirit deck with that walker. That Black critter'll probably be the new U/B Control finisher once Gravy Train rotates.

A planeswalker that costs 5 should do more, I think.

I always see planeswalkers as a toolbox, and she fits exactly what I want out of my toolbox in a Spirit deck.
