MTG Salvation

Quote from Yoshimitsu

I meant in THS-THS-THS draft back in October, or THS-THS-BNG currently.

Ahh, I see what you meant. We still have Floodtide Serpent though, so with that in BNG and this in JOU it might be possible to put together something fun.

Why? You get the same number of JOU packs as THS... This way you just get it in the first pack, so you can actually build around it...

That demon is going straight into Nekusar EDH. I also kind of want to build a janky standard deck with him, Dictate of Kuphrix, Notion Thief, Fate Unraveler, and Whispering Madness.

Well, the other four gods in JOU have been bonkers, so it seems fair to have at least one unremarkable one. Que sera, sera.

The past three have all been given flash to negate the drawback of your opponent getting the effect first, so flash Rule of Law doesn't make too much sense.

I just realized...

God-send/Gods-end!

Woah, you guys.

Hmm, with this, Spawn of Thraxes, and Squelching Leeches, it definitely looks like there's a basic land types matter theme in this set, or at least a cycle.

I know very little about 2 person draft, having never tried it, but I would get a box of Theros since RTR and GTC will be rotating out in a few months.

Didn't they say they'd be doing a Vintage set along the lines of Modern Masters soon? That's probably what this is.

I'm pretty sure that's Vintage Masters.

Why is a block of Greek mythology copies bad? It's not like Theros is just a book of stories that are exactly copying Greek mythology, it's an expansion of Magic, with Magic mechanics and cards. The cards get to interpret the stories into a different medium. Even if they were just pure copy-paste reproductions of the original myths, (which they aren't) it would still be just as interesting to see and play with the card interpretations of Greek myths.

Basing your strategy around the hope that "maybe they won't draw their removal" is a terrible idea.

Looks really nice, good job!

MWS has a couple of problems, the most notable of which being the Mac incompatibility. I use Cockatrice personally, but they both have upsides.

It's also worth noting that while Nightveil Specter was always the top card of your library, your mistake wouldn't have been worse in any way. I know it's easy to think about it like that, as human brains try to handle randomness rather illogically, but really, what we're evaluating is your choice, and that was independent of the top card of your library.
