Awkwardly enough I was trading for 4 of those here on the forums when right around 9-11. Got a few odd responses to my list back then. By the way.

Hour of Need, Grim Guardian and Aegis of the Gods are probably my three favorites from the get go.

Why is Deicide not a bulk rare?

What's the packs going to be set as for Sealed prerelease events?Also, do you guys think Deicide has a lot of promise in Limited?

You're supposed to get 2 Journey Into Nyx packs, 1 Born of the Gods pack, 2 Theros packs and one seeded pack.

"Also, do you guys think Deicide has a lot of promise in Limited?"In this format, there will always be an enchantment to exile so it should be pretty good.

Zombie token looks goofy. I understand it and all but still looks goofy.

Yeah, the posture of the zombie makes it looks like he just swung at something and missed.

I like him. It's kind of weird that a dead guy can put the mask on in the first place on the card that makes the token. I guess he gets reanimated and then puts on the mask? It's not nearly as terrible as some of the token arts that have been made.

The story is that when souls leave the Theros underworld they lose their faces and they craft gold masks for themselves. https://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/feature/263c Cool concept, just awkward posing in the art.

Sooooo...what color (prerelease card) are we choosing this weekend and why?I'm thinking of White mostly, but I believe everybody does. A 2/4 Flying/Lifelinker with Heroic for 4 is amazing of course. I'm liking the blue and red prerelease cards too. Black really gets shafted with their rare, it just has a big butt and I can't see his ability being really useful. Green has a nasty rare that you need to get rid of quickly, but I'm not a Green fan. So mostly White for me I guess, but the last prerelease I went to (Theros) I chose Red unlike everybody else choosing Blue and beat the crap out of them, I just might stick to Red again. __________________ I'm a geek, you're a geek.

I can't believe you think the black prerelease giant is useless. I think it's amazing. That being said, green looks pretty strong in the set to me as well. I'm somewhat split between those two. __________________ "Message to women worldwide: Girls....we're stupid. We don't like games. We don't know games. We can't read minds.

Did a double prerelease yesterday. Chose Red first and went 4-1. Lost the only match to a mulligan to 5 and my opponent curving out perfectly and stalling at 3 land for a few turns on the 2nd game. Won the first match though.Went R/W. Had the prerelease dragon, Forgestoker Dragon, Iroas, Celestial Archon and Dicate of the Twin Gods. That last one was frigging amazing! 2nd one went less well, mediocre cardpool and went 1-2-1 playing U/G after picking Blue this time. Besides the Scourge I had Daring Thief (fun!), Prophet of Kruphix and Polymorphous Rush (again fun). __________________ I'm a geek, you're a geek.

I did a 2-headed prerelease on Saturday. 7 teams, we went double-white and made a RG constellation and a WB drain deck. First match went fast due to other team getting mana screwed. Second match went to time and we finished in turns vs WB drain and UG monsters. Their Nyx-Fleece Ram was keeping them alive against our Servant of Tymaret. We were each drawing answers for the other team's big threats. Third match was vs mono-black and WR heroic. They enchanted the heck out of the white promo and drew an answer for all of the kill we directed at it. Can we just drop BoG from the draft format?

After FNM, I decided to stick around for the midnight prerelease at my shop. Went with green, and ran B/G with the promo, Hydra Broodmaster, Herald of Torment, and an Agent of the Fates. Started 2-0, but by 3:30 in the morning, I was starting to get a little muddled, and made a critical playing error in game 3 of round 3 that cost me that. Round 4 went to hell when I played against mono-blue running 2x Daring Thief. He made awesome use of them; dropping, tapping, and untapping on the same turn, so I was quickly staring down my own Hydras. 4am is way too early for that kind of non-sense.

Went undefeated at the prerelease. I took green and ended up splashing black. I rocked some heads main decking 5 pieces of enchantment removal and a heroes downfall. Then rode a fatty to victory. Ajani was my best pull from the prize packs. Overall good night but I really don't like the set.

No kidding. I think we had 4 enchantment removal in our entire 2HG pool.

I like the set more than Born of the Gods.The 'Gold' King whatever is hilarious. I kept wanting to use that threaten card against him, but my opponents kept not attacking with him even when I didn't have the dudes to block him. Sigh. It very much sucked playing every single game against the 2WW 2/4 heroic flying lifelink guy. I didn't go in reading the spoilers and was the only person who picked red. Which is full of 3-point burn that can't kill the aforesaid bomb and instead of an awesome turn 4 play, it has a terrible turn 7+ play in the form of a bad slightly-different Fire Dragon. Pssh.

Went with red at the prerelease, and ran UR. Had the prerelease Dragon, Prognostic Sphinx, Hypnotic Siren, and Keranos. Went undefeated, and got to bolt with Keranos 6 turns in a row in Rd 4 because of Prognostic Sphinx.
