Angry Grimace posted:So Rise of the Eldrazi flashbacks are coming in this week and I'm gonna hit a few up, although I've never done it. The main thing is being aware of all the viable (and even fringe) archetypes, as they fall less along simplistic color-pair lines and more along synergistic ones. It'll help you evaluate cards that appear on the border of playability which are in fact solid staples of one archetype (ie: Distortion Strike or Goblin Tunneler in a Kiln Fiend deck, or Vent Sentinel in the surprisingly-sometimes-good Walls.dec) but filler or useless in another archetype that shares a color. When in doubt for your first attempt, just drafting good UW levelers or a green ramp strategy into Ulamog's Crusher (or a better uncommon/rare eldrazi if you open one) are straightforward enough for anyone to draft just fine.

Random question re: templating for my draft cube. I have a card that behaves like the Conspiracy artifact creatures. When you draft it, you choose a player, then each of you gives the other one of their own picks of their own choice. I have no clue how to give this a clean templating. Any suggestions?

That player gives you a card from his or her card pool, and you give that player a card from your card pool. (However, I'm not sure how to deal with a problem this card has: Players tend to draft at different speeds. You might have to make it so it's at the end of a booster pack, but that would make the card less good.)

Do you want an "another" somewhere in there? Because technically the card that you just drafted is in your card pool, so you could just give them that card (probably poo poo except for the draft trigger) for something that's probably less poo poo, especially in a cube.

I said it was a missed trigger at that point, and some other people jumped up my rear end about a new rule saying triggers that aren't "may" can't be missed, and you have to rewind the game to correct them.

Turns out Treasure Cruise and Delver are pretty good magic cards in formats with good cantrips, who knew?

Pauper is the same prize payout as any other daily isn't it? Is the format fun since they gave storm and post the axe? Just looking at some recent results it seems like there are even less viable decks than before.

Fingers McLongDong posted:Don't those decks use daze, which is something crazy like 25 tix online? Some of them do. MUC doesn't, but Serrated Arrows is still pretty expensive. Hydroblast too but isn't strictly necessary. There are still playable decks that can 4-0 and honestly you only need to 4-0 sometimes to stay infinite. Affinity, Stompy, some Familiar decks are all pretty cheap and fine as well. Most of the Pauper decks you can be competitive with don't run over 30-40 tix, and some Stompy lists can be had for around 10. Daze is singularly more expensive than many entire decks. edit: Since the dude asked about Cloudpost while it is gone Tron is sort of a thing now and something you can win with.

I think Monastery Mentor might finally be able to break out post DTK, but it's also reasonable to suggest that the cards that have been released benefit Rabblemaster as much if not more.

Are there any decent substitutes for hydroblast/pyroblast in the sideboard? Some of these decks I could make for just a couple tix except for those in the board. Didn't know they were so expensive online. The tron lists I'm seeing look fun, and I could make white tokens for like 2 tix except for the flagbearers.

You can play Blue Elemental Blast, I think? I forget if there's an effective difference or not. Grinding pauper was one of those things where I know I've done it and I know I made some amount of tix and yet have no recollection of the experience. Yikes.

The closest thing to a dragon deck I can see emerging is some kind of RBx build with Thunderbreak, Stormbreath and a couple of OG Kolaghan as its finishers. Kolaghan is actually pretty good and I think having a few more dragons to help pump his burst damage to insane levels might be enough to put him over the top.Angry Grimace posted:Okay now that we've seen all of the cards in Dragons of Tarkir, what are you guys thinking will be the updates to existing decks, and what (if any) new decks do you think are poised to be really good once the cards are out there? Anticipate seems like a shoo-in for all blue control builds and maybe tokens. Ultimate Price is going to see play but it's not clear whether its Siege Rhino problems will see it relegated to the sideboard. Silumgar's Command seems like a good sideboard for UB in slower matchups. Shaman of Forgotten Ways seems like a decent mana dork and a powerful GW hoser for Gx decks. Commune with Lava seems good for GR decks. Collected Company seems like it could be good in Abzan Aggro if the deck is adjusted a bit. New Zurgo is going straight in RDW. Dragon Fodder and Ire Shaman could also be good. Roast, Twin bolt and Magmatic Chasm all seem like interesting options for it depending on the metagame (they're good against midrange, tokens/aggro and Gx respectively). In terms of new/revived archetypes: UW control: Narset and Ojutai's Command are both pretty cool, but white's removal pool is still just obviously worse than black's. I don't think a couple of sweet top-end cards are enough to change that, but I could be wrong. Mono Blue Devotion: Shorecrasher Elemental is really good and I think blue got some other cool creatures this time around (like Stratus Dancer and Silumgar Sorceror), but we're still missing that crucial non-Mindreaver UU drop. BWx Warriors: Blood-Chin Rager is pretty excellent. It's likely to remain a gimmick deck but I can imagine it snatching a lot of games between this and Arashin Foremost.

I think mardu king will switch out raise the alarm for dragon fodder, and I might cut murderous cut for two Kolaghan commands, and maybe cut a plains for a third, since I would only have 2 main deck spells needing white: Crackling Doom and Soulfire Grand Master.

Red and Blue Elemental Blast are uncommons on MTGO. You can't really replace either Hydro or Pyroblast, but realistically all you're doing is costing yourself some percentage points out of board. You would have to play a LOT of Pauper for those to add up to the cost of the actual cards. Also you are going to want like a 50-100 ticket buffer when attempting to be infinite because unless you're extremely skilled while you basically only need a 50% win rate to be infinite variance is going to happen.
