MTG Salvation

Only went 3-1, but I think I had fun. Agree with Samoht, Rakdos nut draws are stupid good. Most of the good Rakdos cards are common too, with a few spicy uncommons, so it seems like a good draft archetype.

Seeing as how I don't have a facebook page, I wish the rest of you luck.

Not if you combo with Gravity Sphere and hope for no enchantment removal.

And so ends the reign of Primeval Titan in EDH. Now watch as Kokusho soars in price. Can't lie, I'm frightened.

The only way to remove IDing would be with a Magic Online clock system, but that just isn't doable in paper.

On another note, a deluge of spoilers. I expected they wouldn't be there, but seeing the Keyrunes just makes me wish we had signets that much more.

Saw part of that thread just before it got taken down, GoC. It surprised me how dismissive everyone was that it might be unfair for someone to have effectively two slots in a tournament where top2 is all that matters, and this is coming from someone who probably has abused that before. It's that kind of attitude that got me out of tournaments.

I like ultimate price. I'm a fan of printing cards that are significantly worse in their own environment, but would be ridiculous in others. Kind of like printing Terror in Mirrodin (back when Terror was considered a good card).

I have no problem with Snapcaster hate. It was a mistake and was immediately recognized as an absurd card. Just hope it works and doesn't do what Cavern of Souls did...

If I do play in a prerelease, I plan on going Rakdos. RBU are my favourite colors, so it's either Izzet/Dimir or Rakdos/Dimir, and I figure Izzet is in too high demand.

I've pretty much accepted that, every spoiler season, I'm going to see something above the curve that would have been unprintable a few years ago.

Remember, in the last Ravnica, when Watchwolf was absurd and Scab-Clan Mauler was one of the poster boys for aggro? And Silhana Ledgewalker was a nightmare for control decks?

Agreed, I tend not to like basic staple removal being made rare. Certainly helps with the value of the set, though.

I like wraths. My verdict is positive.

These scavenge dudes are making me want to try a Skullbriar, the Walking Grave EDH deck again.

So, since assassins can one hit kill planeswalker players now, why is it that I can't Assassinate a player? I do not approve of this planeswalker on a flavour level.

So I went to pick a guild on the PWP site, but then I realized I don't know my password and I haven't logged in in so long that the email I used doesn't exist anymore.

The Prerelease cards haven't been revealed yet. All we have are tiny thumbnails of them. And if no one heard, you do get to play with your card this prerelease, so pick wisely.

Yeah, unleash isn't nearly as cool or flavorful as Hellbent was. If I do go to a prerelease, I'm leaning towards Rakdos for their pick a guild gimmick anyway, but it will probably be decided by availability and prerelease cards.

Now for Gatecrash, I don't think Dimir will be readily available. Blue based guilds are the most popular.

And shocklands are in to no one's surprise. Kind of like the original artwork more, though.

Kind of happy that the Commander's Arsenal is just a renamed From the Vault, especially after seeing the price tag. Means I can avoid it.

Question now is, what is pimper, English Legends Sylvan Library or Foil? I'm inclined to say Legends.
