This set seems to have so many support cards, open a lord and force that archetype.

Ya, this feels right...

Also, when doing 3 pack booster drafts of just DKA, I think I just take every Thought Scour and Mystic Retrieval I see... go mill!

Thalia, Gravecrawler, Torch Fiend (in addition to or in place of Hearth Kami), Strangleroot Geist, Hellrider, Huntmaster, Sorin are all possible additions to the cube.

the lords are just good anyway. i could see splashing a third color just to fit one of them in. deathtouch, first strike, flying, or intimidate 2/2 is good enough for me even if i only play 1 pumpable creature.

Midnight Guard combos hilariously with Presence of Gond.

Uhh, what? fireball is the same cost, but players only have 20 life. Confusion is garbage.

Confusion isn't just about Milling your opponent...Self-Mill is viable ...

Confusion is kind of neat in that a mill deck might want to play a card like Ghoulcaller's Bell, think maybe a Tezzeret skeleton, with Shriekhorn. The milling of your own Increasing Confusion is beneficial and probably preferred. Not saying that it has tier 1 implications, but it's a start.

I hope you are saying that in regards to Constructed.

Its fantastic in Draft where your opponent starts with 32 or 33 cards.

Its like losing 1 life per turn starting at 33 (from your draw) making it very relevant.

Of course i was talking about constructed. Its a RARE. Rares are not something to count on for limited. Sure, if you open it, go for it. Its even splashable. But when given NO CONTEXT for a rare/mythic, my mind goes to constructed, because you can actually count on playing X card more than once in 40 events.

Points taken... I was just curious what y'all thought.

Yeah, I see it. And Vigo Mortensen can play Vigo in Ghostbusters 4, Sorin in Innistrad: The Motion Picture, and Geralt in The Witcher: The Reimagining.

The last two small sets had these mythics:

Blightsteel Colossus
Consecrated Sphinx
Glissa, the Traitor
Hero of Bladehold
Hero of Oxid Ridge
Massacre Wurm
Praetor's Counsel
Sword of Feast and Famine
Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas
Thrun, the Last Troll

Karn Liberated
Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite
Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur
Phyrexian Obliterator
Sheoldred, Whispering One
Urabrask the Hidden
Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger
Batterskull
Etched Monstrosity
Sword of War and Peace

Compare that to Dark Ass-ension:
Archangel's Light
Beguiler of Wills
Drogskol Reaver
Elbrus, the Binding Blade
Falkenrath Aristocrat
Havengul Lich
Helvault
Huntmaster of the Fells
Mikaeus, the Unhallowed
Moonveil Dragon
Sorin, Lord of Innistrad
Vorapede

Even with 12 mythics vs. 10 in MBS/NPH it's still a shower of shyte? I don't see Sorin dropping at all. He has to haul all the value.

I kinda agree with you JensK, but you gotta wait and see where the chips fall to really see what those cards are worth.
