MTG Salvation

Hey guys,

I drafted a lot of 3xTHS lately but I had never tried sealed so yesterday, I was looking for something different and tried a sealed. I joined without any expectations but I didn't want to go 0-3 which I did. I don't think my pool was really bad but maybe I built it wrong. Any opinions would be extremely valuable.

This was the deck:

I can't really see anything that stands out as a stronger alternative to the GW deck you built. You might be able to tweak your original build somewhat; Pheres Band Centaurs vs an 18th land, for instance, but you have the Caryatid so it might not be necessary.

Maybe splash for Sea God's Revenge? That card is pretty nuts. Maybe drop Fade from Antiquity for SGR, drop Centaurs for the Unicorn? Nah, you're deck is pretty focused, and there's not really a compelling reason to screw with the mana consistency. I'd consider siding in the Revenge if my opponent was a slower monstrosity-style deck, maybe.

In the future, it helps a lot to segregate your cards by color. It makes evaluating the pool easier and you'll get more constructive input that way.

Thanks for the reply, I will try to edit the post during lunchtime as I'm at work right now.

Updated the OP with colors.

I think Sea God's Revenge might have been ok. I considered blue and red for a very long time due to Thassa and Stormbreath. Glad I made the right choice, but that must mean that I played really bad then.

Thanks for the comments Noatz. Would you run Thassa in U/W with low chances of hitting devotion?

yes, even if it never goes active you can scry 1 every turn so your always drawing gas and it makes things unblockable when the board stalls out

Your 3 Wingsteed Riders really want you to force a heroic deck. Sadly, there just aren't enough enablers in any colour combination to make it worthwhile.

UW seems to be decent while also allowing you the UW flyers backup archetype.


WR looked tempting too, but seemed a little light on playables.
