On Turn four or five, with lethal on board next turn and no creatures on field, the jeskai heroic combo player goes off infinite with a top decked springleaf drum. This deck is sweet. A very fun deck to watch, probably the worst thing to lose to in this kind of format.

Did I miss something or did Bradley Yoo not play a brain maggot there that could have hit the retraction helix?

e;fb, but Jeskai Heroic Combo just had an amazing win off of an empty board and topdecked the perfect card.

So allowing his opponent to Scry really did lose him the game...

Is this the first black sort-of wrath since Damnation (5 cmc is close enough).

Just a thought: this dragon tribal stuff is going to feel really odd until we get to DTK and see some standard playable dragons that aren't red. Of course, I realize that the dragon tribal aspect may not see actual play, but I would be happy if it did.

Finally Wizards has the opportunity to right reprint Nalathni Dragon, as well as returning Banding to Standard! You know what to do, WotC.

I'm wondering if some kind of Jund midrange thing is possible. Ramp into Stormbreath, use the wrath to blow up everything other than Stormbreath.

I'd be surprised if Stormbreath is the only good dragon around after Fate Reforged comes out. But you can do this now with just Sarkhan or Zurgo and End Hostilities. There's just too much non-white removal around for it to really be a dominant strategy.

Playing stormbreath as a wincon and having a potential 5 mana duneblast is pretty good and will probably happen a few times. I would consider replacing my end hostilities with those in mardu control. If we get a playable dragon other than ol' stormie I could try Grixis dragon control maybe, hell yes

Ciprian Maricon posted:I've missed out on a PTQ Top 8 to drawing extra cards, I've hosed up mulligans and gone down to four in the must win match to make Day 2 of a GP, have had to call a Judge and hang my head in shame when a game winning Burning Wish resolved and I counted 17 cards in my sideboard. Agree. I went to a super IQ (modern) with delver today. 47 players. I ended up at 39th...of 39 remaining players. I lost to the guy who lost all his matches. I had a bye in the final round. If you were worse than me, you dropped! That was my joke. I stuck it out because gently caress it, I came to play cards, I chose to play that deck instead of something I was more familiar with and probably better off running. I got a consolation prize for sticking it out though, one of those neat mox playmats. 2 of the guys I went with place,d one ended up 3rd and one 15th, the other 2 friends went 3-3, we had a good day out. Just shrug it off. Someone does have to lose, and it isn't always going to be the worst player in the room. Seriously, in the last match I played, I had 25 loving cards in my GY not 1 treasure cruise to be seen. I needed 6 points of dmg to win that game. Had I seen a cruise at any point I feel I'd have won. Still, cool playmat

I don't know about you guys, but considering Magic's history, I'm going to be personally amazed if this doesn't end up with Tarkir becoming a shittier place because dragons are assholes.
