Like you get in packing paper?
So predictions for pro-tour top 8 decks?

I'm going with UR control. If you haven't had the memo yet Kefnet is brutal. Also commit is outstanding at dealing with resolved threat you didn't counter. Many will try jeskai but bouncing a cast out on a gearhulk is sickening.

Something like this.

UR Control:

Maindeck (60)
1 Kefnet the Mindful
4 Torrential Gearhulk
3 Magma Spray
3 Censor
3 Essence Scatter
3 Harnessed Lightning
3 Negate
1 Pull from Tomorrow
3 Disallow
1 Sweltering Suns
3 Void Shatter
2 Commit
4 Glimmer of Genius
4 Aether Hub
9 Island
5 Mountain
4 Spirebluff Canal
4 Wandering Fumarole

Sideboard (15)
1 Dragonmaster Outcast
3 Glorybringer
2 Sphinx of the Final Word
2 Dispel
1 Magma Spray
1 Essence Scatter
1 Negate
1 Sweltering Suns
1 Aether Meltdown
2 As Foretold

I long for the enchantment with the text "state based actions aren't checked"

It's not so much that this couldn't be done, but that it shouldn't be done. There wouldn't be enough room in the reminder text to list all of the common state based actions, and most players would have no idea what it does. Try explaining why it shuts off deathtouch and lightning bolt, but not doom blade.

There's also the issue where you're now accumulating tokens in non-battlefield zones. Luckily they aren't cards, so nothing actually interacts with them, but it's still weird.

All that said, I want this card. Release it in "rules lawyer masters"

But really, considering a meta of a whole bunch of Mardu Vehicles and some smaller amount of Tower and control, what's best positioned against the field right now?

They did. But mobile users or people on tv streaming devices can't block the ads, it just seems lovely to step away, play ads for 5 minutes, then come back and finish the draft. By the way my ads didn't finish up until after p3p2 because it played a long commercial for achievement hunters. Luckily the ads rotate a little bit, some folks are complaining they are just seeing the same two ads over and over again

Here's a preview:

I've got about 30 of those foil swamps signed because it's my favorite swamp art, and I got an artist proof altered with a sketch.

Also, never let Wayne Reynolds or Adam Rex sign your cards.

Theres someone ive heard likes to sign in...ballpoint pen :barf: forgot who though

What happens when Twitch plays an ad and you have adblock on? Just black screen?

Now it depends on what you are saying. The twitch ads I know them, will play over the stream, so when they are blocked you just see the stream. This is kind of the biggest issue because when they play the adds, you miss out on what is going on in the stream.

I only see the Heroes of the Storm and The Swarm ads every break. uBlock Origin with Chrome. It didn't play over the actual draft but taking a break between pack 2 and 3 is absurd.

The adblock sites themselves are basically like "yeah they are embedded in the stream now, sorry" but also "this isn't happening for all users yet" which seems odd.

There has to be something else going on then. Ublock origins hasn't let an ad through in forever for me. The embedded ads can't be dealt with because they are part of the stream. Your heroes of the swarm stuff aren't. I would remove origins and reinstall it.
