Anyone come across anyone or opened up some crazy bombs in their pools?
I had to face someone who apparently opened Clan Defiance, Valroz, Pontiff of Blight, Rakdos, Ruric Thar and Blood Baron. He played Jund colors.
Yeah, I got smashed but managed to take it to 3 games. Had the force the opponent to play all his bombs on game 3 with me top decking. Man that's frustrating.
On another note, Master of Cruelties is awesome in limited.
Someone at my shop went Boros, secret ally Izzet, and opened Boros Reckoner, Niv-Mizzet, Turn/Burn (twice), and Ral Zarek... he didn‘t win, but man did he have a bombtastic pool ^^
The rares in my pool were pretty insane: I went azorius/dimir, and got stolen identity, progenitor mimic, isperia, aetherling, teysa, and scion of vitu-ghazi.
The deck only went 2-2 though because all my low drops were horrible, but I don't think I've seen that many on-color bombs ever in a limited pool.
The winner of our prerelease had double Ral Zarek and Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius along with two other on-color rares. That was not terribly fun to play against.

A mere ten days after the Mending, a young knight of Valeron and a young ranger of Eos made a discovery that would change Alara forever.
One of my team members had an Obzedat and a Courage, with plenty of removal. He took 2nd. Then the person I went to time and ended up drawing out with, had a Boros Reckoner 2 of the ramping pingers, wild beast master, each Boros/Selesnya Charm, and a nice curve, first out of three games he played like 5 creatures by turn 4 including the Beast Master. Turn 5 he martial gloried his beast master and swung for game.
I opened Assemble the Legion with Collective in my two guild packs, followed by Varolz, Tajic, and a Savageborn Hydra. Any combination of those was just insane.
I played against someone who had Ruric Thar, Boros Reckoner, Trostani, Blood Baron of Vizkopa and Teysa as bombs.
I also played against someone with 2 Teysa's and 3 lightning helix's and an assemble
I went golgari got paired with dimir and got the jarads orders/control magic packs along with blood scriviner, master of cruelties, the simic guild champion, and advent of the wurm as my rares.
I got paired against someone with Firemane Avenger, Tajic, Advent of the Wurm, Wayfaring Temple, and double Armed//Dangerous. Luckily he got mana screwed one game and I outplayed him the in the second.
I was Selesnya with Orzhov as my ally guild, playing WGb splashing a couple removal spells and Korozda Gorgon. I didn't play any rares.
First round I played against someone who had Tajic, Legion Loyalist, and Blood Baron with at least 2 Viashino Firstblades to make sure Tajic had battalion. He could have had more bombs but the games were over so fast that I didn't see much of his deck.

STANDARD - Nothing
MODERN - Dredgevine
I busted Rakdos, Crypt Ghast, Blood Baron, Tajic, Exava, Gleam of Battle, and Warleader's Helix.
To be fair, if he had ever drawn the Blood Baron, I would not have won.
The deck only went 2-2 though because all my low drops were horrible, but I don't think I've seen that many on-color bombs ever in a limited pool.
Emille, Seven-Sting Dancer Shalin Nariya
Immortal Servitude
Wild Beastmaster
Zur-Taa Ancient
Tajic
Obzedat's Aid
and something else too janky to play. Obviously Tajic is awesome, but got it was a rough pool.

Yeah, 4 playables out of 6 rares, that's rough luck!??? They may not be ZOMG-bombs, but they're good anyway. Stay real.
(Jank would be guild feud, slaughter games, trait doctoring or something...)

I think I win for worst rares.
