Why is the playmat Nissa and a view of the sky? Really?

not chandra? Saheeli? A Vehicle? AN ARTIFACT? something else? goodness

You're just going to get a bunch of double faced cards.

You have no idea how many foil Village Ironsmith I have from opening boxes.

Trust me, I LOVE Innistrad, but their booster boxes is something else.


This is just pure personal experience though. My luck with packs/boxes has never been good. Guy bought a random Innistrad pack and had a foil Garruk (double face).

But yeah, most of the Value come from Liliana, Geist, Snapcaster, and I'm sure I'm forgetting more but those 3 come to mind.

No, not for $225. I don't think it's worth it.

lol, for some reason I was expecting Flavor text fails. Like The flavor text does not match or fails in general.

Well most FNMs I see start at 5pm or 6pm on a Friday. So I think most people rush straight to the Store straight from work/school. I personally go to the 7/8pm ones so I can go home first and shower, but we also have people coming from work going straight to those FNMs. Played a dude smelling like Paint in his overalls!

I've been accused of stalling too. Got called judge on me twice....against a control player....who took longer turns than I did. Some people just want to win by default or DQ I guess.

I am revising my decklist this coming weekend. Like others, I feel like adding more win cons. My wincons were 1 Burning Anger and 1 Crater's Claw. This took a while to build up (around Turn 5 or 6) and I had to wait for dorks to land as well.

However, the deck is tight enough as it is. What do I take out? I want to add Helix and Astral Cornucopia (or purse).

Lastly, how is everyone testing the Dig Through Time vs Treasure Cruise?

Did some table testing finally. So almost everyone I played hates me now. This is almost like the modern eggs deck, pre-sunrise ban. I had a 15 minute turn! (I do play slow and was learning)

Not only that, I have to be extra careful with triggers and mana count. Also, I had to make sure I was tapping out my dorks FIRST, before I cast something out so they untap with Ascendancy. It's a lot of tapping if you have 1 dork + 2-3 Kiora's followers lol.

Polluted Delta is selling fast and price is rising steadily as well.

You need a dork AND Kiora's Follower (or 2 dorks) with Jeskai Ascendancy on the field right?

Thanks for the report cwebs. I also try the no servant version. I originally did not want to take it out because I wanted Doom Engine asap (and with haste).

Anyone tried rabblemaster in the deck for that extra push?

Hard Mode, no black
Expert Mode, no black, no BG

Challenge accepted. I don't know what BG stand for, but at least I can say I pass hard mode with Insectile Aberration

Sorry, I meant Black/Green multi-color

This deck/combo seems to be gaining a lot of popularity. There are at least 3-4 threads about it:

I was hoping it'd be kept a bit of a secret or the in the down low, I wanted to surprise people with it lol.
