So what is everyone picking for their clan for the prerelease? Can't really go by khans prerelease (where Abzan was king) since the majority of packs are FRF cards.

Going to be tough not going Temur 'cause they're my favourite, thematically, but I might have to go Mardu. edit: I'm looking forward to Orc Sureshot + Dash. Hopefully I'll be able to take advantage of that. odiv fucked around with this message at 22:37 on Jan 9, 2015 |

Based on the FRF spoilers I'm imagining Jeskai.

The red in this set looks very powerful, or at least a couple of the cards like Collateral Damage, Flamewake Phoenix, and Mardu Scout look it. I really, really want to see somebody do what looks like the most Red Thing in Standard right now. Which is respond to Anger of the Gods with Arcbond. "So, that'll take 3, and everything else on the board takes 6. Oh, and we both get bolted. Neat."

Arcbond plays well with RG bees as a boardwipde as well. Block with a bee, Arcbond to kill everything including your hornet's nest that makes more bees in the process.

I'm having a lot of trouble imagining what Fate Reforged is supposed to play like on its own. I may just go Abzan again because Harsh Sustenance and Grim Contest are both so awesome.

I feel like Fates is filled with bombs. I think taking the mana fixing in the 2 khans packs is going to be really important so you stay open to splashing the off color bombs you open in fates.

I played an opponent in an 8-man today who had a a Dark Confidant on the table; I'm at 4 life and he's at 2. He attacks with the Confidant alone into a much bigger blocker (I think it was a Rhino for me and a Goyf on his side) which I decline, and just hope he dies to the Confidant next turn since he had a Goyf up to block my Rhino. For some reason, he then casts another Confidant post combat. I immediately pass and he immediately dies to the first Confidant trigger. I have no clue why you'd cast a second Dark Confidant if you were aware enough to suicide attack with the first Confidant to try and avoid dying to it.

I suppose it makes sense if he figured you were likely to have a second creature and thought he could survive both triggers.

Hopping Ghost posted:Maybe he didn't know he's allowed to concede Technically he would win if both Confidant triggers brought up land since the Goyf and both Confidants had enough power to kill me. But it was a stalemate otherwise, so I don't know why you'd be the game on a 2 Confidant triggers turning up a total of 1 CMC.

I dunno about "bombs" but the fact that there are 5 4/4 flyers with upside for 6 across all colors at uncommon is definitely big/possibly annoying.

Back when we were talking about strange flavor text a few months ago, I mentioned that this card was still limited playable after all these years. Someone at Wizards is following my account.

I'm looking at picking up playsets of Soulfire Grand Master and Monastery Mentor at ~$100 each (The Mentors are a little more than the Grand Masters, but shipping etc. just about makes up the difference) Anybody have any insight on those numbers? I figure I want to play with them. I wouldn't hate waiting a little while for them to drop, but I worry they'll go up before then. What do you all think?

Mentor will drop down to ~$15-18. Masters will be in the dollar bin in a month.

Soulfire Mentor certainly won't. Wait a month or two to pick them up and send me whatever money you save
