Equip cost is a bit high and its also random.

at least you can play it. Past two times i opened it I wasn't in black and it was pack 2 and pack 3 in separate drafts. My preference is SOM drafts. They're actually worth while. Innistrad doesn't really do it for me.

I'm not sure if shuffling them in the deck and never drawing them constitutes playing them . Just picked up another one last night and never drew it in 3 games. Your point is a good reminder of the value of SOM drafts, I would like to do more SOM drafts but last I remember the queues fire too slowly for me.

Anybody have good advice for NPH-MBS-SOM limited on MODO? I haven't drafted it in forever, and when it was the draft format I didn't draft it much to begin with. IIRC, RG dinosaurs was a viable archetype. Any suggestions?

Odds are Trepanation Blade usually just gives +1 or +2 power to the creature.

Played in three 8-4 draft. 1st draft, mulligan down to 4 with a 1 lander, because apparently having more than 1 land is forbidden despite a 17/23 land/spell ratio. In the second game, all the lands that went missing came back, and I went from a 3 land 4 spell hand, to drawing 10 lands in my next 13 cards.

2nd draft, once again, having more than 1 land is forbidden, and I went down to 6, then lost the game with 5 spells and 10 land. Game 2, same as above.

3rd draft game 1, I didn't miss a land until turn 11, and a 3/3 went all the way and took me down. Game 2, mulled a one lander away, then never drew another spell the rest of the game.

Seriously, WTFBBQSAUCE?

edit:

sigh. Another game where I had 12 land on the table and less than a handful of spell...

And...my opponent drops a turn 1 Reckless Waif in all 3 games. If this isn't a family friendly site, I would've added some serious profanity into this.

I am 0-5 today.

Last draft, round 2 game 3, the usual happened. I had control of the game early, but after a think twice + flashback, I played a total of 7 spells, and had 13 lands. My mana/spell ratio is beyond normal for the entire day, and as much as I hate getting flood, I will bet you anything that if I go down to 16/24, I will be mana screwed.

The dragon is definitely a bomb in limited. Will it connect? maybe...maybe not. But if it does you're pretty much guaranteed victory when you're running him in a burning vengeance shell.

Personally I've started forcing W/U stalkerblade whenever humanly possible. It's ridiculously easy to draft and there's only a handful of cards between the two colors that aren't relevant. If you can stick to humans and spirits along with a smattering of equipment then you can pretty much sleepwalk your way to a playable deck.
