Dave Humphreys was the lead developer on Journey into Nyx. Interesting that JOU looks so good, when the other sets that he was lead developer for - Gatecrash and Avacyn Restored - were thought to be pretty weak. Hope that Journey lives up to expectations in limited!

JerryLee posted:The way you use those three cards (as I've heard it) is present them to your opponent face down and say 'Pick one for you and one for me.' It's not actually playing a RPS game, and I can't think of any way in which it would be less random than a coin flip unless your opponent somehow peeked. That works too actually, pretty similar to what I mentioned. And it is pretty much 50/50 chance, so, as you said, pretty much a coinflip.  Hadn't considered that, thanks.

Select isn't part of the Konami code. Most people just add it because that's how you selected two players. :sci101: E:fb

Tibalt would try to stab you, but instead drop his knife and pick up a rock accidentally. Then he'd try to hit you with the rock, only to drop it and pick up a Phelddagrif that he wouldn't be able to use.

At least they come with the sleeve covers so they might last longer? Sorry, but the concept of "sleeve covers" is hilarious to me. Waiting for Sleeve cover covers so I can sleeve my sleeved sleeves in sleeves. But then the outer sleeves will still get dirty! Oh god, the dirt, the horror, nothing will ever be fully clean and protected!

So has anyone decided what seeded colour they're choosing for the pre-release yet? Now that we have full spoilers and can see all the commons, I'm curious what everyone intends to play. I'm still up in the air presently as to which I would like to go with.

If I go black, I'm hoping to ruin some people's day with Bloodcrazed Hoplite. Also possibly getting Athreos and Font of Return would probably also give people a case of the sads. Blue has some really cool cards as well, just he promo is so expensive to cast.

How is red's not good, let alone garbage? If you play enough red you can potentially kill a creature (or possibly your opponent) and then leave a 5/5 flyer. As far as Limited is concerned, that's pretty good.

Similar with the Blue, it's a potential complete blow out given it's basically cyclonic rift on a guy. a dozen swans posted:It costs seven mana in a deck that doesn't want to get to seven lands in play. The prerelease promos are used during Sealed, which isn't as quick OR synergistic as draft. Plus, there's not a lot here screaming that full block Theros is necessarily going to be as fast as BNG-THS-THS. This would be perfectly playable in triple THS.

All the promos seem pretty good cards for sealed. Trouble with the blue one is that you're almost certainly not mono-blue, so it probably only bounces up to 3 or 4 toughness when you play it. That's still potentially a huge blowout on the order of Sea God's Revenge + a giant dude on board, but it really depends on the board. But still, this is sealed. You can probably get to 7 mana and even Unsummon + a 6/6 is not a bad curve topper.
