Magic: The Gathering,GO TEAM MS!

[xRECKONERx]

White is strong if it's paired well. If you want to do another test draft with that fancy website of yours, I'll be on in like...15 minutes

Yeah I'll probably do this after I'm done with this game of LoL. Anyone know if I can join scumchat from imo.im or meebo?

[Thestatusquo]

meebo works, but you need to get someone to invite you iirc.

[xRECKONERx]

Got to the draft only to find out that UPS delivered the stores boxes to the wrong address.. Collected money and took off for another game store to buy their last sealed box of inn to save the day. Draft starting now

[Thestatusquo]

haha, shit like that.

[xRECKONERx]

Got awesome cards in my opinion. Opened up with a stormkirk captain then got passed nothing but blue/white flying, mostly spirits. Won my first match 2-0 against a red/black/green deck. Waiting for the next round

[GreyICE]

UW Skies, oh the classics never die.

In other news, is Kibler's WRR deck insane, or is it just me? Now to afford 4 Huntsmasters...

[Thestatusquo]

Blue white spirits is hella good in this format.

Also, honestly, I think huntsmaster is a very overrated card. I'll bet you can find 4 cards for that slot that are way less expensive and are equally if not more powerful.

[xRECKONERx]

Fucking got rolled by a RG deck. Damn.

[xRECKONERx]

Yay. Won my third against a green/white deck.

It kind of does everything in WRR. Removal, life gain, and draws off mass removal, plus shuts Liliana off hard.

Plus it survives slagstorm flipped, and that's HUGE.

WRR has a strong midgame, but loses to fast decks and anything that can shut down their bombs.

I played U/B Heartless tonight at FNM. Went 3-2 on the night, should have been 4-1, but I made some really bad mistakes in G4 that cost me the match. Dungeon Geists continuing to be the sleeper MVP while Havengul Lich soaks up the limelight.

[xRECKONERx]

that was such horse shit

so won my first match (vs Gamma), lost the second match (against the guy who ended up undefeated for the night and won everything), won my third match. idiot official forgot to tell people it was a FOUR ROUND draft instead of THREE, so he just said 'well we'll just call it at three and end it now"

Gamma got second place. He lost to me R1, had a bye R2, and won R3. and got second. i didn't even place. whatthefuck.

(did pick up some pretty good cards for a UW flying deck; opened up another Stormkirk Captain after I got home. Will post a full decklist later when I'm not seething)

[creampuffeater]

Ahh, your first experience with how tiebreaks work.

Gamma sadly did finish higher than you in the Wizards official tie-break methods as they over-emphasize byes. Its frustrating as you did beat him R1.

[xRECKONERx]

Yeah, byes are horseshit. "You didn't play a game, let's count that as you actually winning."

Also, here's my deck from last night. When we got home we had some leftover packs so I added more to it (like another Captain, a Thrabane Doomsayer, and a couple more geists).

The first pack I opened I had a Drogskol Captain, so I took it. The second pack passed to me... also had a Drogskol Captain. So I opened up with two of those. Then I just KEPT getting passed blue/white flying cards, so it was pretty clear to me that it was open (and it was, nobody else went for that combo).

[bv310]

Wow, two captains would be insane.

[xRECKONERx]

Avacyn Restored panel from PAX can be followed here. Just a few things revealed so far:

- Avacyn is not the only legendary creature, there are three others.
- Undying is the only mechanic carrying over from INN/DKA
- New mechanic: Soulbond
- Silverblade Paladin - 1WW, 2/2, Soulbond (You may pair this creature with another unpaired creature when either enters the battlefield. They remain paired as long as you control both of them). As long as Silverblade Paladin is paired with another creature, both creatures have double strike. Rare card.
- Restoration Angel - 3W, Flash, Flying, 3/4, When Restoration Angel enters the battlefield, you may exile target non-angel creature you control then return that creature to the battlefield under your control. Rare.
- Sigarda, Host of Herons - 2GWW - Flying, Hexproof, 5/5, spells and abilities your opponents control can't cause you to sacrifice permanents. Mythic.
- New mechanic: Miracles
- Thunderous Wrath - 4RR, Instant, Thunderous Wrath deals 5 damage to target creature or player. Miracle R (You may cast this card for its Miracle cost when you draw it if it's the first card you drew this turn)

[bv310]

You forgot the important part: Fall set is RETURN TO RAVNICA. Ravnica, if you never saw it, was a set based around 10 Guilds (one for each colour pair).

[FaerieLord]

Also, Izzet was the best guild.

[bv310]

Simic #1

[Sudo_Nym]

Orzhov owns. Literally.

[Thestatusquo]

Orzhov owns. Literally.

heh.

SUDO. Play in the chess tournament!

[bv310]

Orzhov also good.

[Thestatusquo]

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the best standard deck based around gruul?

[GreyICE]

Only because people kept trying to make shitty control decks. Selesnya was the best.

[InflatablePie]

all in favor of renaming this to General MtG Discussion*raises hand*

Also, here's my deck from last night. When we got home we had some leftover packs so I added more to it (like another Captain, a Thrabane Doomsayer, and a couple more geists).

That's not bad. o_o
