I mean, I'm slightly annoyed at having my posting called bad rather than criticism. All I was originally saying is I think Owen's previous statements about never drafting green is wrong, even if its just because sometimes your best odds given your seat, and those aren't significantly terrible odds either, are found drafting it.

What do I know though. Maybe I'm just misinterpreting what Owen originally said anyway. :shrug:

I think the point is that usually these things are self-correcting; once the consensus was that RW was bad in MM2 you could get passed a good RW deck. In this case though, everyone knows green is bad and it's still bad. By ruling out green altogether you avoid jumping into green when it's open but the deck simply isn't there.

Have they printed new mechanics across Commander products before?

They certainly enjoy printing new rules on the Commanders themselves that facilitate a type of deckbuilding, but they've never rolled out a bunch of new cards on a theme.

I'll toxx myself on this, there will be 1 card in the new Commander set that has Experience Counters.

You've got your childhood wish at last. Now you get a ban.

The best part about MM2 was that a realized RW deck was also fun as hell. People just kept passing me Mirror Entity and it was amazing.

I actually own it, it's probably the luckiest I've ever been when opening poo poo. It looks like the price is steadily going down bit by bit but it's like $140 right now and I doubt it'll ever go below $100 cause of Commander.

"If it is meant to be nothing but a machine," Karn finally asked Jhoira, "Which card should I cut from this UB devoid draft list?"

2x Salvage Drone U
1x Tide Drifter 1U
1x Eldrazi Skypawner 2U
1x Cloud Manta 3U
1x Cryptic Cruiser 3U
1x Incubator Drone 3U
1x Guardian of Tazeem 3UU
1x Wave-Wing Elemental 5U
2x Sludge Crawler B
1x Wasteland Strangler 2B
3x Mind Raker 3B
1x Ulamog's Nullifier 2UB
1x Ulamog's Despoiler 6

2x Rush of Ice U
2x Spell Shrivel 2U
1x Dampening Pulse 3U
2x Demon's Grasp

I'm thinking maybe one of the non-Eldrazi flying dorks? It's also possible that I'm valuing Salvage Drone way too highly - I kinda ended up scrambling for any Ingesters I could find.
