I'm getting some really amazing luck here. However drafting 3x NPH is much more difficult than doing the same with the last two sets due to a lot of color screwing lol
This set has such power at common and uncommon, and all these Phyrexian mana cards are really interesting given any deck can play them. Every deck now has access to the incredible 2-drop of Porcelain Legionaire, the huge 4-drop Tanadon, the defensive killer of Pith Driller, and the fliers in Vault Scourge and Barbed Thopter.
Infect seems a lot weaker in triple NPH, ironically. There is not nearly as many dudes with it as was in the previous 2 sets, and with all the voluntary life paying going on, reliable ol' beats is probably stronger than infect anyway. Throw in the cards like Glissa's Scorn and Vapor Snag that cause additional lifeloss, and you got a recipe for good ol' beats.

I believe that I have enough social competence to slip into a party or two, potentially wooing some attractive females that would not mind spending the evening performing the booty dance on me.
Porcelain legionnaire is crazy good against the non-evasive infect beaters in SoM/MBS that people will draft, but I was just looking through and its odd how many evasive/regen/first strike/etc infect commons there are in NPH- it actually doesn't hose much anything from its own set, just the ones before it.
Lost Leonin, Glistener Elf, Viridian Betrayers & Pestilent Souleater are the only cards it can actually mow down, the rest have evasion or first strike or regeneration or a ton of them have 4 toughness on their butt.
I once farted during the final match for prizes at an FNM. It was a tense moment, everything was quiet, control vs control, I was about to mana leak, thought about it.. and farted. Then mana leaked.
lol, I just drafted BW awesomeness with 7 blind zealot, chancellor of the dross, and other ridiculous stuff. I wish real opponents drafted like this...
Btw, how is the actual draft going to go? Is it one back of each?
I opened one last year, got two crap worldwake packs and 8x scathe zombies, which I promptly hid around my sister's apartment for her roommates to find. But, yeah, it was a piece of crap.
You, sir, have just won the internet. Congratulations.

Think it could do pretty good.
Really weak to gut shot/volt charge/marrow shards.
But damn,with all dem souleaters, zealots, and legionaries.
EDIT: IDK whats going on.
This time I got pack1 elesh norn.
I keep getting cornered into B/W.
Like 4 times in a row, B/W has just had the best options.
[NPH] is already in their system and ready to be drafted. Have fun.
Fruit don't talk. Fruit just listen. And wait.
Too...much...colour screw and good commons/uncommons!
Splashing colours is so risky with phyrexian mana. Take the life hit, or risk someone else taking it and cutting you off of something good instead?

Sounds good to me.
Fixed it for you.
Someone else should try and force a deck with all those spells that make them lose life.
I had like 7 Geth's Verdicts and 5 Suture Priests.
Btw, how is the actual draft going to go? Is it one back of each?
