Either that or they use the same picture of a bucket of cards for every box of random draft leavings they sell. Where are you buying this from? If it's ebay I'd watch out. e: is the proxied Glimmervoid included? Entropic fucked around with this message at 16:10 on Feb 5, 2015 |

I hate buying collections any percent sight-unseen. Lucrative, potentially, but it always feels like one person is scamming over the other, or trying to.

Is there anything better than a good WBr Warriors deck in KTK draft with a pair of Raider's Spoils? Battle Brawler, Sultai Emissary, War Flare and Sandsteppe Outcast are terrific additions to the deck from the FRF pack too.

Rinkles posted:The uncommon dragon cycle makes the abomination worse in FKK. True. It does make Throttle better removal though. I only need to pick up 1 of 3 possible 4B removal spells to handle your dragon, throttle, murderous cut, or that new one that targets creatures of one or more colors. Also Peel from reality is another really good addition for Sultai, I will give you a 2/2 whatever in exchange for your bomb all day every day. jassi007 fucked around with this message at 17:33 on Feb 5, 2015 |

Sultai just has too much removal and tempo at common across three packs, not to mention a few uncommon goodies, that you can argue the 3/4 common from two packs is genuinely made worse than the Uncommon 4/4 from one pack. Its a fair point to make, but it just doesn't make as huge a difference. Also you can play your own uncommon dragons.

Hooting Mandrils and the 3/3 flying delve, the 2 fat rear end green morphs and the blue one, icefeather avian plus the abomination. Great early blockers for ground game, good removal that for some reason seems to go undrafted a lot. I often end up UGbr. Snowhorn rider is a great splashable pickup. We did a chaos draft before Fate pre-release, we had born, journey, conspiracy and khans in the mix. This was my deck. This is the best deck I've ever drafted. It was so good. 6 Forest 6 Island 1 Jungle Hollow 2 Opulent Palace 2 Swamp 1 Thornwood Falls 1 Archers' Parapet 1 Compulsive Research 1 Fleetfeather Cockatrice 1 Font of Fertility 2 Glacial Stalker 1 Hooting Mandrills 1 Icefeather Aven 1 Icy Blast 1 Mistfire Weaver 1 Mystic of the Hidden Way 1 Nyx Infusion 1 Rattleclaw Mystic 1 Sagu Mauler 1 Secret Plans 2 Sigiled Starfish 2 Sultai Charm 1 Sultai Scavenger 1 Treasure Cruise 1 Woolly Loxodon

I'm all about the grindy good stuff myself, so I'm not going to argue against Sultai. Prefer it over Abzan. I haven't played enough FRF to know if much has changed in this regard (I think it's a bit faster), but in 3xKTK I liked that despite the best archetypes being (arguably) aggressive, slow and durdly was absolutely viable.

Honestly, I just love UG in the format, whether I end up Sultai or Temur. The best decks Ive drafted and managed 3-1 or better with have all been like, straight up UG. I've had decks with multiple Pine Walkers, common fliers/loxdons, and Icy Blast(s) before. poo poo was just disgusting. jassi007 posted:Snowhorn rider is a great splashable pickup. I wasn't in proper Sultai, but I should have, last draft and like I ended up wheeling four Snowhorn Riders.
