I started MTGO again, and in my very first sealed tournament, I accidentally figured out that you can add basic lands to your deck and send them all to your sideboard. So your entire sealed deck is a 5 color deck of your choosing between rounds. Is this known? It has to be.

I'm pretty sure you can straight up add basic lands during sideboarding, so you don't even have to pad your sideboard with them. I'm not positive though.

If you're the Bolas player it gets out of hand very quick (in your favor). A ton of spot destruction and the schemes can be really insane. Like doubling the scheme that lets you draw three cards, have no max hand size until the end of your next turn and play three non-land cards from your hand for free. If you're not the Bolas player then it can be rough, even with three of you. Granted this is with the pre-cons

 Didn't see this? 4-mana ramp not the most interesting, but a one-shot ramp of 2 into a 7 drop on turn 5 in limited is fun.

I know I'm late to the party on this but losing Cheon to literally anything is fine. Dude is incredibly boring and doesn't even seem to know what he's doing. Which is probably also the reason he never seems to place well in events.

He also probably would have top 8ed one of the PTs that LSV top 8ed had he not come down with the plague during his second draft - he top 16ed that one and during his Chlog for it he did not look good at all. Dude's fine. I do not want to watch his streams though.

 Doing sealed of older formats is so whiplashing with regard to card power levels. I think I built this right though. e: Went 3-0 so can't complain. Salvor_Hardin fucked around with this message at 08:12 on Jun 17, 2017 |

Thermal Navigator is a three-mana 2/2 that, late-game, you can start feeding lands to fly over to peck in for two damage. It also seems good with Carapace and Strata Scythe. Cut Arcbound Fiend or Hoversail for it.

Listerine Hangover posted:2 Sheltered Thicket I'll preface this by saying a few nights ago I saw Nissa was sub 3 tickets and picked up 12, but do you think 4 is excessive or works? I've really liked Radiant Flames over Sweltering Suns in Temur just due to mana issues. I also can't for the life of me figure out what Uncaged Fury is for, but I'm curious. A lot of these lists are running Cut//Ribbons, never flashing it back they just need more answer to T2 Snake and clean answers to Glorybringer, but with that many Planeswalkers I feel like you might just want to go ham and play Oath of Chandra. I was going to basically play the old Temur Energy list and just swap out negates for Censor, but now I kind of want to find room and throw some sweet Nissa in there.

Grind//Dust seems to play very nicely with Archfiend of Infir. I'm thinking a Mardu Reanimator revision where you cast or reanimate Archfiend, discard Grind//Dust with Tormenting Voices or something, then Dust 'em.

I've never had issues with getting 2 red mana when I need to so I think the suns are better due to cycling. The oaths suck I've playtested every single one of them, they usually just sit there. Nissa is crazy slept on. I'd much rather have nissa late game than chandra due to her minus ability. There's also the advantage of ppl don't expect her or know what to do about her Uncaged Fury is gas and usually ends games with bristling hydra/ whatever you put it on. Also a nice surprise to put on a servant, cub or refiner early on. It's not so hot against decks with heavy removal, control decks and turbofog obviously so I SB em.

I played Temur Energy last night at FNM 2 times and a Temur Ramp into Ulamog deck and easily went 3-0, they have no answer for this Fog. My last round was against a GB Energy player that I think I would have beaten but we just decided to split the FNM 4-0 payout of store credit. Fog is going to poo poo all over these aggro decks for the next few weeks. Just make sure you SB well in-case UR Control is in your meta, it's the toughest matchup you'll face. This was my last week playing this deck since I've been playing it since Kaladesh came out. I've been heavily playing the Mardu Reanimator deck I think Sickening or Angry Grimace posted a few pages back on XMage and love it so I ordered the cards Friday and look forward to that as my deck in the post Marvel world.

I was thinking of adding a Nissa to my list as well, but I wouldn't remove Tireless Trackers for her. How have you found not having an Negates main board? They still seem useful for dealing with Gideons and removal in G/B. I think I may go down to 2 negates and add a Nissa. I was even thinking of trying out the 5 mana version.
