Green/White sucks. UG is how you win drafts.
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.

So uh. I just opened my collection, and I had two premium foil decks and a premium foil booster sitting there that I didn't buy. What is going on?

Question: With Cathar's Crusade, would things that summon truckloads of tokens grant a +1/+1 to all the tokens for each token?

Yes.

example: Thatchers gives you three 4/4 tokens, Increasing Devotion gives you five 6/6 tokens, etc.

This might be the most insane draft deck I have ever built. I ended up cutting one of the stromkirks for a somberwald vigilante.

I crushed in the finals. I would have been extremely upset if this deck lost due to bad luck. Guy offered me a chop but I turned it down. This deck was just too good.

In general the power of plainswalkers is high. But, as with all card types, it varies. Some of them are the stone cold nuts, some of them are meh.

Really good except when they're not.

Kinda like every other card type. The good ones are generally pretty good(and expensive) and the bad ones are pretty bad.

Difference being, even bad planeswalkers are better than most mid-range non-planeswalkers.
