The worst thing about the modern flashback drafts is that it started a block too late, skipping past Onslaught, and that means I have to wait until next year to draft some Onslaught. I went infinite in a big way a few years ago when they last brought back Onslaught block draft. I didn't open any fetches in twenty drafts, so I never got anything of value, but I've got a lot of OLS packs waiting to be drafted. drat that format is fun when people don't take Clerics.

Speaking of things without value, a full set of Legions online is about six bucks. The most valuable card in the set is Plated Sliver, a common, at 1.5 tix.

3x prism charm in a mono colored deck turned opposing fevered Visions into raw card advantage.

Taiga is probably one of the better ones. I don't think anyone has ever really thought the art on Tundra or Savannah or Scrubland or Badlands was particularly good or interesting. Hell, it's hard to even tell Savannah and Scrubland apart at a glance.

Taiga, Volcanic Island, Tropical Island and Plateau are the only ones that don't look like bland washed-out blurs.

Are there any Atlanta Goons in here? I just moved to Mableton and am looking for opinions on stores to go to. I'll play everything that's not Vintage (too poor) or Commander (too competitive).

I am looking for a store where I can play on a different day each week if I had to, for fun- I'm competitive, but I'd rather go to a place where people are chill and treat each other like normal human beings, than a store where we're all trying to next level scum each other.

I've been to Raven's Nest a few times and they seemed fine, are there any other good ones? Preferably close to Mableton. Bonus points if there are people that play Epic Card Game.

I have absolutely fetched a scrubland when I meant to fetch a savannah before, and couldn't take it back because the fetchland was able to get either one. That said, I did buy a savannah playmat from Rob Alexander at GP Charlotte. My friends insisted on the savannah because I play like playing g/w/x in every format and it does look better all blown up with less faded coloring. Another friend bought the Taiga mat and it does look pretty nice.

Not all cards are printed for limited. There needs to be more ways to interact with planeswalkers in constructed formats. Currently we're seeing several decks in standard that just load the board up with walkers because it's near impossible to deal with more than 1 at a time.

They're fine but they are also really washed out for large playmat purposes. I think UB, UR, UG, and BG are the only ones colorful enough for that purpose.

It slows down between standard releases.

For the love god don't keep 9k points on that site unless you are trying to hit the legacy lottery.

I've never had that many points last more than a week and a half, never mind not move at all.

Either way even if the bottom drops out and points are suddenly worthless it's only $90.

There are two different three-mana spells that remove planeswalkers in the format, while also have the benefit of not being incredibly narrow and useless if your opponent just ends up on a creature beatdown plan this game. Planeswalkers can also be dealt with by attacking them with your own creatures.

That last part becomes harder when those planeswalkers produce creatures and become creature at turn 3 and 4.

Imagine if red had a playable burn.
