Playing some sealed, and the flip side of bereaved survivor is insane. Also I hope people never end up reading baneblade scoundrel. edit: people having removal in their sealed pool is cheating. I have none in any color

Mat Cauthon posted:Is there a reason this uses the language of "mana cost" rather than "mana value"? Because they’re not the same thing. E.g. Mana Leak had a mana cost of 1U and a mana value of 2. To flash it back with this card you need to pay at least 1 blue mana, you can’t just pay 2 of any color.

Framboise posted:Wait, Midnight Hunt is already coming out? I feel like the D&D set literally just came out a couple weeks ago. (I know it's been a bit longer than that, but still.) Welcome to the ever-accelerating "blood from a stone" phase of corporate existence. And there's actually a lot of blood yet to squeeze out of Magic's stone, since WotC has been allergic to change until the past few years.

HootTheOwl posted:Compare: I just want to say that at least in limited, I've found the Zombie lord to be substantially stronger. 3 toughness matters a lot, and there are so many decay cards around that the +1/+0 really adds up. Early days so who knows how things will shake out, but the Vampire has been an awful top deck for me.

AHHH didn't see it took them out of your opponents yard on flipping, yeah that's amazing! Just went 7-0 in my arena pre-release, this set is loving awesome! Feels like from turn two onward, you've got about 3 decisions every turn, and all of them matter. There's so much synergy, but it never feels like one player just gets overwhelmingly ahead, because it's usually held together with one creature, or switching to day / night, which you usually have some control over. Which, again, is decisions! Do you advance your boardstate with an expensive creature, or just play and flashback the cheap spell to send it to day and rob them of theirs? Very good. That 1WW 3/3 with Ward 1 seems absolutely batfunk insane, he was drawing my opponent a card every turn, which was somewhat insurmountable until I stole it off him and insurmounted right back at him.

Man this format is a blast. My sealed went ok, my first couple drafts were mediocre to bad, but the third draft shredded. Vamps has insane synergy if you can draft it, and holy crap the black werewolves are all nuts. Can't wait to play more of this.

So pretty sure R/G werewolves is going to be gas. Just threw a list together with what I have without fully fleshing out the rares and it's mean. You still get Den of the bugbear and Faceless Haven coupled with cheap 1 mana removal.
