My initial reaction was to just emptyquote this with :chanpop: but upon further reflection there are no smilies which could possibly convey an appropriate response. Wow.

I really liked devotion and other mono colored strategies of standards past. :(

If only packrat and revelation didn't exist, that format could have been really balanced and good.

Nykthos was loving busted and that format would not have been balanced and good without removing it more so than any other card.

I somehow managed to get two M&Ds in my last draft, the card owns. Ended up grabbing a pile of Valakut Predators and the red ETB land to make two 6/6 trampling first strikers every turn

e: my main regret is I didn't get any fertile thickets, just because I could've stacked my entire library in pretty short order

The best draft deck is b/w. Everyone at the table is attempting to jam b/w and LSV drafts what looks to be an unbeatable r/g.

quote:

At that point a little over 24 hours before the Pro Tour where my head legitimately hurts from staring at a computer screen 17 hours per day too often, so it's gonna slow down from here on out. Feel good about what I've accomplished. Think I've done a good job of solving Limited formats for some time now and hoping this is no different. I'm pretty proud of myself and generally content with everything, which isn't something I anticipated.

Pretty common throughout my life to associate far more value to the Pro Tour and my finish than I ever should. In the end, it really doesn't matter. It's a tournament that has a ton of variance, so doing the best I can is all that matters. I'm certainly upset at how much respect I've lost for a number of people I really cared a lot about, and that's a horrible feeling for anyone to experience, but the tournament itself is going to be good. The results are so far away from defining my life and myself anymore, and that's a pretty fantastic place to be. Win or lose, I get to go home to the girls I love, Athena and Honey, and my life is going to continue being great.

But I would also love to do well! 6-0 in draft one time??

And he wasn't on the CFB team at the GP.
