It is from Theros block (I think JIN?) and was a tolerable role-filler in draft then.

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:It is from Theros block (I think JIN?) and was a tolerable role-filler in draft then.  Yeah makes sense to me. Okay thing on which to pile bestows or maybe just the guy you have around to deal 2 damage a turn with evasion and threaten x/2s on the defense.

there's pretty much always an archetype that wants a 2 power flyer for 3, unless there's like a common pinger or they reprint concordia pegasus or something that guy is fine.

I give up on guessing whether or not these "slips" are intentional or not, I'm just going to enjoy that they happen before almost every set.

honestly the only interesting thing about the eagle spoiler(if it's real) is that the collector number is 275/272 so it's probably in the gideon theme deck.

Maybe this is one of those learn to play deck things where it's not in the set, but it's going to be Standard legal anyway.

Have the cards for both, but not sure which to build. whydirt posted:The thing a lot of people who try to ape Hunter Thompson seem to not realize is that he wrote straight journalism stories for years before developing his trademark gonzo style and persona. CML's writing reads like someone who wants to break away from rules and traditions of writing without actually understanding them.

So, here's the situation: It's the top 8 of a Grand Prix, and you're drafting an aggressive R/W deck. You open your second pack, and there are two cards that pique your interest: Burst Lightning Foil Tarmogoyf. What do you do?

pctD posted:Doesn't the GP stamp make it Heavily Played though? For a normal card, yeah. For that Goyf? It's one of a kind, with a ridiculous story attached. It's one of the most unique cards ever pulled from a booster. I wouldn't be shocked at all to see it get valued at 4 digits, even if Pascal never sells it.

He also apparently noted at some point that when he says X is good and don't draft Y that X is attempted by too many ppl and that Y becomes more open and usually for the better. It sounds true and It's like ppl forget that he is lsv and can kick a pile of draft leavings through some gravel and come out with something that will beat your FNM deck more often than not.

The only better story than picking a foil Tarmogoyf in top 8 would be getting passed a foil Tarmogoyf in top 8.

Taking a foil Goyf is guaranteeing at least a 10% boost to your prize winnings in exchange for 1 draft pick. Smart move.

I didn't even realize the prize pool at a ridiculously huge tournament was so tiny. Yeah, I'd take the drat Goyf too.TheKingofSprings posted:I've only seen the one tweet from Owen but isn't he joking? That's the only thing that makes sense since both of those comments are way over the top for rare drafting that card. Also, tomorrow Maro's article is supposedly going to either explain or reference the overhaul to evergreen mechanics (I guess starting with Origins?)

Okay, MM15 drafting on MODO has to be to date my worst decision yet. All your cards are worth poo poo and god forbid you draft UG because the client will take a million loving years to go through your graft triggers any time anyone resolves a creature. I haven't accidentally given an opponent a +1/+1 counter yet!
