outside of rares i think ninja of the deep hours, mistblade shinobi, the glasskites, and especially sosuke's summons, that card is amazing by itself it can generate 12 1/1 and if u have the jitte it gives you all kinds of expendable creatures so u can get charge counters on the jitte. i also like horobi's whisper. i think blue is probably the best color to draft in bok.

deep hours is alright, for blue its all about toils of night and day and phantom wings is really good. green now has a really good reliable hay to deal with fliers: mitsu tribe sniper, and roar of jukai is one of the better tricks in the set, black gets nuts demons, nuts ogres decent recursion and kill spells out the wazoo. not to mention blessing=wow!
black is easily the deepest color in bok. white gets a pretty good removal spell-terashis verdict, cool combat trick hundred talon strike, heart of light for utility and split tail miko for easily standout creature, i think whit is the second deepest color.
green i think might be tied with white though its just incredibly solid, its creature curve got filled out nicely, gnarled mass is good, forked branch, tribe sniper and good pump make green almost as good as black for sheer beatdown. red again gets the shaft, it has alot of good removal outside frostling (duh!) torrent of stone and first volly wont let you down, and ronin cliffrider is really good but unless u get alot of really good red i see it as support at most.

I am just smart enough to relize just how stupid i am.
"my apprentice could have swallowed a flood-swollen river and pissed it back into the wizard's face before it drowned him." -Heartless Hidetsugu :fingers:
nope. Traproot Kami is a very powerful card. a one drop critter that grows and can block flyers? esp with today's mana accell in green! at pre-release a guy had three of them out on me and it stalled the game till he decked out. i couldn't touch him with creatures at all.
also, he gains toughness for each forrest in play... not just on your side. if you're playing green and they are playing tooth... suddenly that big ole Darksteel Collossus isn't so scary anymore is he?
The Flip creatures are all nice, red one is the best, IMO. Matsu-Tribe Sniper can really hassle moonfolk and other flyers. Horobi's Whisper is really powerful and red has some more nice splashable burn for everyone to keep sharing. Ninja's should be good, most likely drafted extremely high.
i love drafting tooth and nail...espescially in this block...

if you are ever being chased by a police dog, try not to run through a tunnel, then over a little see-saw, then jump through a ring of fire. theyre trained for that
yeah, i LOVE stir the grave... i think its gonna be my oblig card for this set (whenever i see a card that i really like or have a good history with (like winning prereleases with and whatnot), i put it in all of my decks of that color). i'm wierd like that, yes i know.
i also like Mistblade Shinobi (no idea how to link a card, sorry in advance if i get it wrong. that helped me a bit too when i went blue
5 1/2 hours straight of BOK prerelease usually lets you get to know the set:p and i must say that i really like the black in this set. that and the ninjitsu ability, that should see more print, it only has (i think its maybe 15 cards) a few in BOK.

Word, definitely true. Raid's the air-to-ground missile. Boiling water's the hydrogren bomb.
OMG I love Kira, Great Glass Spinner!!! Blue seems to me to be one of the better colors in the set, great flyers that wont die, coolness.
I'm really dissapointed in a majority of the rares, most seem to be just overcosted, and those that are decent, like the Heaven guy that makes 3/3's seem good but just come too late in the game, especially after you've played all of your spirit/arcane spells. The spirit/arcane synergy is AMAZING in this set, at the prerelease I played a spirit every turn and got 1) to swing unblocked with Kami of Painted Road 2) Get a ki counter on Candlemane Baku (which was tapping down loads of creatures) and 3) untapping Innocence Kami to tap down another blocker! I had a crazy card pool!!!

Avatar, i agree... i opened my packs at the prerelease...and the rares were just like...blah. i thought it was just bad luck or something, but everyone around the table had them. other than the rares the sets very nice
(rares are NOT everything in the set, and DEFINITELY not in limited. if anyone disagrees, ill shove sakura tribe elder and kabuto moth down your throat:p)

Speaking of getting mediocre rares all around... EVERYONE at my table got Lifegift, except for one guy... who got Jitte... he also had Kokusho and Kodoma of the North Tree.
I think all the Ninjas are good, but that's about all that I liked...
I'm gonna get myself a playset of each of these and wear them around my neck all around campus. The ladies will be all like 'Ooohh.....is that a....Boros Garrison you're wearing?!?!'. I'd be all like.....hells yes.
Genjus are good. Shoals are good. Snipers are good. Walls are good. Okiba-Gang Shinobi, Horobi's Whisper, Torrent of Stone, Shimmering Glasskite are all good. Bakus are good. Alot of stuff seems good but that is my list.
Call for blood is very good. R, W, B shoals are good. misblade shinobi is good. bakus are good. as stated, Jitte is broken in 5 million pieces. One drop sack cycle is good (teardrop kami, child of thorns, frostling etc.). Im missing some stuff, but cant remember it. anyways...toils of night and shadow are...still in question. seems like blinding beam? oh, flipper cycle is amazing. strong spiritcraft theme, get your teller of tales early people.
nope. Traproot Kami is a very powerful card. a one drop critter that grows and can block flyers? esp with today's mana accell in green! at pre-release a guy had three of them out on me and it stalled the game till he decked out. i couldn't touch him with creatures at all.

Sounds like my prerelease. I had 3 taproots and 3 Kami's of False Hope.
I went about 50/50, with multiple matches ending in draws because I took each and every match right to about the time limit. There was an audible groan or some cursing every time one of the two hit the table.
There are many, many better cards, but between the Taproot and the False Hope, you can stall some very, very aggressive decks for quite a long time.
Of course, the waxmane baku also helped feed that...

All of the glasskites are very good.
Shaku is decent, but the jitte is awesomeness on bread.
Black's new removal, the whisper, is godly first pick material all around.
First Volley is a lot better than people think.
Any, and I mean ANY of the new flip cards are amazing
:bunnycake:
