Pulled a karn this afternoon in draft. Is it too much to ask for 4 jadelight rangers tomorrow at the event? Is there any heat on zahid, djinn of the lamp? He was my first pick and I got him from my participation pack. It’s only worth $1 right now, but feels like a card blue loves, even if I’m holding onto it for the next sets release.

Man. Karn seems to get a lot of pulls. Makes me feel a little optimistic for tonight's box opening, but I'm not holding my breath.

Any suggestions for this deck for Magic Arena? I want to add more Soul Scar Mages when I have the rare wildcards, but I don't have any at the moment. I do have some mythic, uncommon, and common WC though. Idea is pretty simple, play wizards, hit face, then burn the face. 2 Siren Stormtamer 1 Champion of Wits 4 Ghitu Lavarunner 3 Adeliz, the Cinder Wind 4 Spellweaver Eternal 4 Lightning Strike 4 Opt 4 Fanatical Firebrand 4 Magma Spray 1 Soul-Scar Mage 4 Riddleform 2 Crash Through 4 Wizard's Lightning 4 Sulfur Falls 7 Island 8 Mountain

Just accidentally stumbled on the synergy between Champion of Wits and Path of Discover. You either draw an extra card because the top of your deck is land or it isn't and you draw one more because it's power get's increased by explore! Enjoying the hell out of my Sultai Arena deck, think I might like to try it in standard, but I don't know if I want to buy Scarab Gods. I get some good games without even seeing it though, just getting Muldrotha and Liliana out can lead to some pretty crazy board states. I hadn't appreciated how strong explore was until now.

Anyone else think that limited for this set is pretty bad so far? A lot of people at my LGS tonight were talking about how much they disliked it, and after a couple drafts I kind of agree. It feels very Avacyn Restored where ridiculous bombs just rule and there's so little removal, there's not a lot you can do about them, so it comes down to who opened what or who played their unbeatable bomb first. Other than eviscerate, there's like no good common removal. Red gets bad abrade and not Burst Lightning, white gets the 5 mana exile, blue gets the make a creature 0/4, and green gets a two mana Prey Upon. I can't believe there's no Pacifism variant in this set, or even a blue card that taps something down for a turn. Rivals was way better than this.

All the equipment are stupid, but that one is extremely cheap and make creatures so hard to kill. The Dimir and Gruul pay offs are pretty weak. I'm 1-3 in single elimination draft so far, and that win was on the back of G/B No Saplings.

Lol, all those "not good" common removal spells you just named are actually good removal spells (the prey upon is marginal depends on the deck). You also forgot Vicious Offering which is super strong. Uncommon has a ton of good removal as well with lightning, settle, cast down, seal away. You can dislike the set all you want but it objectively has more good removal than any limited format in a long time

I disagree, but in my experience and watching streamed drafts, I'm noticing some drafts go off the rails really easily and I'm suspicious that it's from people forcing 3+ color goodstuff, which is usually a sign of a varied and fun format. People drafting whatever they want, able to play the bombs they open. RIX wasn't bad, IXL was terrible, HOU was great. I'd say this falls between HOU and RIX.

Triple Ixalan was pretty bad, but Rivals improved a lot of stuff. It added a bunch of bombs, but gave better removal, which slowed the format way down. The tribal synergies weren't as strong, which meant your decks didn't have to be as streamlined. There was a viable 5 color treasure deck which was awesome. I do agree that Hour is the best we've had in the last two years, though. Fish Of Doom fucked around with this message at 05:08 on Apr 28, 2018 |

Im gonna be complete honest here, this pretty much the exact opposite impression I have of the set. Good removal seems to be all over the place at commo with eviscerate, shivan fire, blessed light, gideon's reproach, blink of an eye, deep freeze, fungal infection, vicious offering, fiery intervention, ancient animus, and even bloodtallow candle if you are really desperate. Plus there is a ton of power at uncommon which means that even someone who didnt get a mythic bomb can still get a decent deck together.

Vicious Offering and Eviscerate are literally strict upgrades to Moment and Impale. The 5 mana exile is better than divine verdict gideon's reproach is better than divine verdict. Shivan fire is insanely better than bombard. Lol Hunt the weak compared to animus.

That's not true, if you got the entire black cardpool from two different draft pods you could make an okay black deck in AVR. lol at people who think Dominaria's removal is worst than Rivals's and that Dominaria's bombs are more oppressive than Rivals's

Fair enough, I forgot about how unplayable Black was in Avacyn, even to the point that the commentators at GPs were making fun of it. Like Green in Battle or White in M14, but almost even worse.

Any MTGO Finance people wanna throw out a reason why Hydroblast and Pyroblast are apparently plummeting in value? As far as I can tell, they haven't become any more common in chests and there doesn't appear to be any reason for them to crashed so far down so fast. Bunch of people just selling their collections and filling up the market supply? I hope they keep dropping. Related, anyone know why the EMA Hydroblast is cheaper than the MED version, but the MED version of Pyroblast is cheaper than EMA? Is it because Blue players are refined individuals who desire using the correct version with much better art, and Red players have debased themselves with the newer, inferior version?

I must have to, thought it would take a lot for it to deliver value, but in just this second realised you get the second one, then next trigger you pay 2 and get 2 more. Looking forward to the argument when someone thinks an artifact lands is a historic trigger.
