I ended up Black White, and my pool was not aggressive enough to abuse sorin. I failed miserably.
Eww.. Could you have been black/red splash green? I know with no fixing it's tough to have 3 green cards but I think the daybreak ranger, kessig cagebreakers, and huntmaster of the falls is a much better splash than just sorin. *Unless you could have been black/blue splash white for sorin/geist. (And even then I like the black/red splash green more, but of course, has to depend on the other cards in the blue and red pile).

I really like that BR Zombie list even though it doesn't appear to have done well.

His articles generated a fair amount of decisive comments, and more and more were negative. The last incident that springs to mind is trading his $600 ipad for (iirc) ~$1500 in cards, and then saying how he did the guy a favor. __________________ "He fights you not because you have wronged him, but because you are there."[16:17] <@BrassMan> what do you need new tech for?

Lesson being a tool is not a good thing, and tends to get you fired... Sad so many have to learn that the hard way... Upside those event decks both look really good....2x pod and a solemn in one and 2x inkmoth in the other, with ~7+ 1-3$ uncommons in each.... __________________ I shall have the souls of all who defy me.

I suppose it is impossible to constantly write articles about how you make trades in your favour and not come off as a jerk.

Atleast there trying to make the Event decks worth buying. Not to bad, and it should help stabilize prices with overpriced cards like gut shot

Not even close. It was less than 2 months ago and he got canned because he's opening his own store.

I wish stores would sell them at MSRP instead of pricing them by their contents. I was planning on picking up a couple Gleeful Flames at what I though would be $15-20. I would've pulled out the Inkmoths and Dismembers and tried to sell the rest for 5-10 but most likely have given it away to a newcomer. No way I'll be spending $50+ for two of these. I suppose if you don't have much of a collection and need something to play at FNM it's not all that bad. It just seems ridiculously overpriced paying top dollar for each individual card when buying a pre-con.

So, building Werewolves....However, debating on whether to splash White strictly for O-Ring because it's that good (and one of few ways to deal with non-creature perms) I'm running: 4 Reckless Waif 4 Mayor 4 Village Ironsmith 4 Immerwolf 3 Daybreak Ranger 2 Huntmaster of the Fells 1 GSZ 4 Moonmist 3 Full Moon's Rise 4 Incinerate 4 Brimstone Volley 2 Devil's Play When I get them, 2 Garruk Relentless are going in, as well as 2 more Huntmaster. What to take out? Too much Burn? Should I run any other WWs (I really like Gatshaf Shepherd instead of Village Ironsmith) like Kruin Outlaw? How about Llanowar Elves/Birds? I'm putting this here because, yeah, no one checks the Deck Construction. __________________ -Schmitty 4th in Refs [233] in OH-IO (33 behind Bmadsen) 2nd in Posts [6700] in OH-IO (only 1500 behind Val) “If Brad Stevens is the future of coaching in college basketball, the sport is in a good place.” - Rick Pitino

Finally! After five days of constantly bidding on them on eBay, finally got x4 Mikaeus the Unhallowed for $15.50+shipping. He's my favorite card in the new set, which I think is otherwise terrible and I'm not planning to buy packs of.So good with that common Cathar, or Birthing Pod, or in Melira Combo... I really think he'll be worth as much as Elesh Norn when they print a few more sets and he does some awesome broken combo thing in standard....

Like reprint something triskelion-esque. Mono black combo anyone?

Cut all of the green spells except mayor, huntmaster, and immerwolf, and play shrine of burning rage and MORE burn.
