I can't be the only one who finds it a little disturbing that MTGO's admins are posting about how many foil Lotuses, Time Walk, etc. have been opened and who opened them. That means they know how many Boulderfall I've drafted in THS block drafts.

Yes. Whoever has the best resources on the board wins. The only thing you can do is draw down to Mutavaults.

Everblight posted:It does, I heard some guys theorycrafting it last FNM, basically the goal is to "win the Mutavault war" pre-going off w/ Eidolon. Whether this means run Demolish or not is up to you. Clearly a reason to run Rogue's Passage then. Or better yet, the flying blue sliver. Jank Patriot Combo, the best kind of combo.

The jankiest combo decks I can remember in a long time were those Seance decks, and also I guess any deck trying to win off the singleton Mirror Mad Phantasm / Lab Maniac.

The both-sides spell lock can also be taken advantage of with non-card-casting options like Bloodrush, Cipher, Maze's End, etc.

Seance was loving brutal in my pre-AVR pod deck. Seance tokens have their correct CMC, so I can get two Blade Splicers and two lands off of one Virdian Emissary.

OK it starts at SCG Baltimore which is apparently the week after GP Portland. They're 5k instead of 10k and they start at 11:00. Coverage likely to still be legacy.

Angry Grimace posted:First game, opponent is on the play and plays Library of Alexandria. My turn - Dark Ritual, Choking Sands, target Library of Alexandria. I don't get it, he still got a 2-for-1. Obviously it's not as good for him as if Library just stayed in play, but it still seems like a net gain for the other guy.

Elyv posted:I don't get it, he still got a 2-for-1. Its only a 2-for-1 in a total vacuum, because he would have used Library of Alexandria to draw a card the next turn. Library is repeatable, free, uncounterable card advantage. There's no reason to ever let it stay in play if you actually have a way to remove it.

Dude could have kept a sketchy hand because of the Library. It is seriously among the top limited cards ever, up there with Sol Ring and Umezawa's Jitte.
