I was listening to the Limited Resources podcast to get ready for this weekend and lol that they're sponsored by an NFT site... I am assuming even if WOTC isn't doing it themselves that there's probably a lot of crypto bros in the "magic community"? I remember MTGOX

Has anyone put together a good GB draft deck? For the life of me I can't figure out what that deck is supposed to be about and gloomshrieker doesn't seem to have any real synergies I can see.

I did this in Arena premier draft, got to 7



Based on this I would say the key synergy card for GB is Dockside Chef as a sac outlet (he also eats artifacts so you can get rid of stuff like Terrarium for cards), he is good in anything but having control of how you bin things for value adds a lot. Also Kunai is normally really clunky removal, but being able to get it back flipped at least 2 games from dead on board to blowouts

BO3 is noticably softer than BO1. The fact that there is no BO3 ladder is both criminal and most likely the reason for that.

whoa really

Also an actual unrelated question, I guess I should start building standard decks, is there a good list using Wandering Emperor yet

If so then that's on your store, the "free" prize support LGSs get for prerelease (two boosters per kit) has been Set Boosters for a while now. I think that started with Zendikar Rising. Come to think of it, they actually cheated you because Set Boosters are more expensive. You can rat them out to WotC if you care (or address it with the owner at least).

Yah it's weird, since you can grind BO3 for rank it seems like the more competitive players flock to BO1.

Maybe I'll use the rest of my gems in BO3, looking forward to going 0-3 lol

Oh the payout is absolutely nothing unless you win 2 matches and it's only positive if you're unbeaten...

Even though I've gotten 7-win runs this weekend three times that's too scary for me, I always did swiss limited in MTGO

I have come back to MTG three times in my life now, and the primary reasoning each time has been:

"Oh Innistrad and Ravnica have cool theming"
"I remember Ravnica, it has cool theming"
"I remember Kamigawa, it has cool theming"

This set does feel like they have a bunch of "count stuff on the board or graveyard" huh.

I guess I'm glad I play on Arena where the computer can handle all this for me lol

Oh how do they do all these double-faced cards in paper these days, I remember back in the original Innistrad they had those checklist cards but now where even playing a land is double-sided it seems that would be real clunky

TipTow posted:

How highly should murder be valued for limited in SNC? My initial thought is "not very" considering it's BB cost, but removal seems to be at a premium in this set, and fwiw Draftsim rates it a 3.1 base value. I'm assuming Draftsim's ratings are only based on speculation, hence the question to y'all.

Hmm, is Murder the pick in this P2P1.... the rare seems good and playable in UW though

Or re: the shield counter discussion, is Hold for Ransom actually good

People attempt to make some sort of living off putting out content including pre-prerelease reviews and scores of every card in a limited format and how they expect it to perform given the set as a whole. It's not hard to imagine they don't have a good general ranking of the families, for people who care about min-maxing their prerelease chances.


I have been listening to some of the prerelease limited discussions and the gist seems to be that Casualty and Blitz seem so synergistic that BR is a good pair to build on. But also the two most busted commons are W and G so

Realized this in the other thread while playing with Elspeth:

Oh, the "canonical" Angel is 4/4 flying vigilance but all the angels on New Capenna are just a little short... Elspeth's +1 will make them full power...

And Giada is 2/2 flying vigilance, Revelation of Power brings her up to full power and Elspeth's +1 makes her "Baneslayer Angel", flavor success this set
