I loving love Omni draft. 4-0 with this pile.

Turn 1 Mind Rot is kind of a bomb in a format with 3 card starting hands :v:

The uncounterable one that exiles all non-creature, non-land cards from the hand and yard is really good in this format too

The Arena brawl event is super fun, y'all need to stop complaining and go play.

The esper faerie deck is really cool, and whoever designed it should get a raise. The mardu knights deck is kinda fun, even though the commander is lame as hell. The jund dragon man aristocrats deck is kinda spicy, and Chulane is just kinda okay.

Stasis + Kismet + Chronatog. All their lands, dudes, and fast mana come in tapped, they never untap, and you never take a turn so you don't have to pay any Stasis upkeep. Nothing to do with Time Vault, but if you want to win by loving your opponent over and skipping turns, that is the deck.

Note that this was a tier 1 deck in Mirage block standard, alongside Prosbloom. You could probably do the combo in Modern with Chronatog Totem and some jank shenanigans to loop the turn skip.

Big Teferi was like $65 at one point, he's still over $20, and he's not likely to be reprinted for years, so I could see him hitting ~$50 and staying there. Azorius control is a top tier deck in modern right now, and I don't see that changing much.

At least 16 rares because Lockthwain and Hero's Downfall Rider and 4 mythics because the Cavaliers are irreplaceable.

poo poo, right. I only run 3x Cavalier, though. Syr Konrad fits in nicely too, I got my first ELD standard constructed win vs Grixis control the other day because of Konrad triggering off of a Liliana, Dreadhorde General -4 making me sac a Cavalier and some other rando when the opponent was at 3 life, taking them to 1. Cav's death trigger brought back a Plaguecrafter I had in the yard, Lili died and Crafter died to itself, triggering Konrad for the final point of damage :v:

It’s still has a real chance of decking being a wincon since the ground tends to get gummed up by fat butts and removal is real strong so it’s hard to establish a real threat long enough to win a game. It doesn’t help that everyone’s starting to figure out that drafting good Aggro is rare and difficult in Eldraine so a lot of people are making decks intended to go over the top of each other instead of playing a balanced game of Magic.

That said, it’s better off then Arena because the removal is actually making it into the hands of the player. If you can make something like a Garenburg Paladin (probably the single most underrated common in the format currently- it’s probably the best green common after Witchstalker- Outmuscle has a terrible record in my experience about getting blown out by removal or adventure-based tricks in this formal) stick on the board and use your removal to clear the way, you can still close out a game pretty quick. Likewise, removal and equipment making it to human hands means you can actually MAKE an Aggro deck that works if it’s open, instead of Aggro just instantly falling apart to a turn 1 Secretkeeper that’s never gonna die.

Green is overwhelmingly the best draft color, since 3 of the best Commons for limited are green(curious pair, witch stalker and garenbrig paladin), and if you move into G/B, you can steamroll everyone with food synergy.

I'm tempted to make some kind of weird G/B/x Hardened Scales list for Pioneer. A base package of Walking Ballista, Hangarback Walker, Stonecoil Serpent, Steel Overseer and Winding Constrictor, with maybe Corpsejack Menace, Animation Module and Durable Handicraft in there somewhere. Fatal Push, Abrupt Decay and Assassin's Trophy for the removal package, probably. I'm gonna love this format, since I absolutely hate how easily fetches enable degeneracy in every format they're legal in.

Hell, Izzet Phoenix will probably be T1 in the format, since pretty much every card in the Modern version is Pioneer-legal, and you can run Treasure Cruise :getin:
