It's an awful draft format and there no value either, there's a reason your shop had to give it away for free.

Let your kid open the packs up and eat any of the card that aren't Voice Of Resurgence.

Basically if your deck did have ishkana or avacyn they didn't let you into the venue.

Commander is popular and they want milk money out of you.

They are in my local Target here in Grand Rapids, MI. They are also for sale in every Walmart for MSRP too. Magic is very popular here so they do sell out but get restocked often, you need to get lucky if you want Breed Lethality, it's always gone.

These are also awesome except:
The light and shadow handle is non-functional. What the gently caress
The fire and ice in-built gauntlet is goofy but cool EXCEPT the loving angle is all jacked so you can't hold it properly again.

As a guy who used to make a lot of weapons for videogames I love ridiculous weaponry but it needs to be functional to hold.

The Fire and Ice blade is ugly and boring. The actual blades of the other two look cool, but the fire blade is just an orange streak.

Except when you realize the "blade" part of it is opposite the bit and flush with the bow of the key. So, you basically have a hand guard that stops you from holding the blade parallel with your arm.

I no longer play with god head and honestly you aren't missing much. I understand why caleb played it but the benefit it gave you in the burn and dredge matchup were just too minimal. Its just so bad against everything else and there is not enough good targets for the spell in the deck to make it good to me. Card for card, Unflinching Courage seemed better at doing the job. I just play more creatures and dropped it all together.

Head judge at GP denver loving blows and also blew in dallas. Doesn't know basic game rules. Embarrassing.


Some of his more recent bad head judge calls...

1. Not understanding the 1+ 1+ from motorist doesn't go on the stack, only the crewing does.
2. Forced a player to search off of path when its a may.
3. Allowed a miracles player to miracle trigger in terminus after playing a land, game deciding day 2 match.

Lot of other dumb stuff that isn't worth listing. Another reason why the judge system is dumb.
