I've had a chance to play a few draft and limited tournaments on XMage. From what I've seen, three and four color combinations are common. Soul Warden is one notable card that shows up lot.
What archetypes, strategies, combos or cards have you been using?
A majority of decks I've seen in XMage Limited tournaments are Bant decks. Considering that there is a lot of life gain with blinking in Bant and mirror matches are frequent, the games are long. How is it looking in MTGO land?
I went to draft at my LGS without really looking at the set list or anything, so I was pretty unprepared. Ended up prioritizing 1-for-1 removal way too highly and didn't really get the go wide stuff needed to finish games. I still think my deck was okay, and I went 2-1, because removal is good, but I got absolutely rolled by a populate deck that basically hard-countered my whole approach to the format.
On Thursday night I opened misty, entreat the Angels and temporal mastery as my rares.
I took guild gates and signets early, and picked an early tower drake and fliers.
Ended up in esper and split first place.
Highlight
Match 1 game 2 miracles an entreat for 14 (2nd to last card in deck) to close out a stalled board.
Other winner cracked tarn in draft and another in prize pack.
I have bad luck so I only pulled a verdant catacombs in my prize pack
