Hey any goons going to the Starcity Open in Charlotte tomorrow? I'll be there piloting some fish, here's hoping I don't punt, and that no one plays affinity.

Green commons look better, but still not great for draft, except for the spider which absolutely hoses the uw fliers deck. Rares and mythics are hugely variable with loads of unplayables

pointsofdata posted:Green commons look better, but still not great for draft, except for the spider which absolutely hoses the uw fliers deck. Just the fact that you know the 3rd pack in the draft has horrible green meant that you needed very good green in OGW in order to make it viable. It's just ok.

Sickening posted:I have said this before and yeah, too many rares and mythics that do nothing in limited especially for a small set. I think it might be OK - better than loads of really powerful ones. It's a bit concerning that they're bringing down the rare first pick ratio by just making half of them poo poo, and half almost unbeatable, instead of rates just being more complex/difficult to play.

Holy crap, Grasp of Darkness, I didn't think we'd ever see that again after years of Throttle and Flatten. I guess they figure it's balanced because people are gonna want colorless sources in their decks?

Awaken is templated as an alternate cost on an instant or sorcery to make it modal and they didn't want to make a 0/6 wall modal?
