Let's make some wagers out of curiosity. What wins the SCG Open tomorrow? Mardu Vehicles, Tower or something new?

My vote is either G/B stomping Mardu now that Saheeli is gone, or Temur tower doing work with Censor and essence Scatter.

So, this morning I learned that BW Zombies is one of the most oppressive limited decks in this format, because I wrecked face with it. Had two Lords of the Accursed, a ton of zombies, flash O-ring, etc. Then I drafted again, opened Glorybringer P1P1, and went all in on aggro. Succeeded in putting together a very aggressive WR deck with him, Oketra, and her attendant as the top end. Could've been even better, but hey - I took what I could.

I'm still convinced that he buys 20 of every card in every deck he makes and makes a killing on them a few days after posting one of his terrible videos where somehow his 19 card combo that folds to any interaction comes together perfectly several times in a row.

I get that they're still expensive, but all modern cards will eventually get reprinted, just gotta be patient and watch the market.

But I have a small feeling the ones most vocal about modern being expensive play budget standard anyway so there's no money to shift into modern cards to build up a deck. Edit: I guess I just like the fact Magic is both for collecting and retaining some value, and playing a popular game with other people.

sit on my Facebook posted:Hazoret has my vote for best AKH card that people are still sleeping on. Its been good everywhere I've tested it. It's an insanely gamebreaking topdeck Yeah, I've only played against it in limited, but seeing Hazoret come down on the other side of the table is a huge "oh, gently caress" moment. Once she's on she basically never turns off, she's indestructible so that gets around most removal (and the removal that exiles isn't really putting you up on the Hazoret player), and even if you have infinite chump blocks she just throws cards at your face until you die. I feel like this is one of those instances like Walking Ballista where Cube players note a card before most constructed players do.

It just felt anemic and weak and my few game wins were only ever due to bad luck across the table. That's a bummer, I love me some mono black aggro.

Not only is it just a lovely thing to do, but if you get caught a lot of stores will send your name around to a bunch of other stores and you'll get blacklisted from your local area. Store owners don't tolerate that poo poo at all. Counterfeits are for playing the game without having to take a second mortgage out on your house, not for screwing other players out of their money.

80s James Hetfield posted:Let's make some wagers out of curiosity. The usual instinct when a new set drops is a large number of aggro decks. I bet we'll still see plenty of Mardu Vehicles since it's a safe bet, but we'll probably also see RG/x decks popping up, since Rhonas, Hazoret, and Glorybringer among others seem to be the top dogs in speculation thus far. I'd like to see at least some variant on WR humans that focuses on Exert + Always Watching. Also, some sort of UR or RB prowess deck using Soul-Scar Mage would be cool. I'm anticipating that will be the best way to deal with Rhonas for red since lightning axe + fiery temper is as effective as ever, and giving them wither gets around indestructible.

This question is so ridiculously open ended, draft is self correcting, and it will all depend on your seat and the pack particulars of that one event, so, yes. A good draft deck will be good. Generally I think all the archetypes can get there. RB and RW beats & tricks. UW UG Tempo, UB cycling, BG Counters. Haven't seen much BW.
