I like Modern even though I currently don't play it. I like just watching it, and seeing the format build up. Plus I like it when my cards go up in price that were otherwise just sitting in a box.

Also, it's like Onslaught - go ahead and take off color morphs to fill in creature slots. And since there's tons of fixing you can "splash" them.

Ended up with a solid b/w warrior deck, with a splash of red for Ankle Shanker and 2x Mardu Roughrider. Went 2-1 on the back of a tight game 3 in round two where I could not draw a red source to drop ankle shanker, which would have taken over the game.

Anything with Outlast was awesome.

Ruthless Ripper was so good every time I flipped it up.

Totally gained 20 life off a swing with Rush of Battle. I was winning the game anyway, but I was shocked how easy it was to actually have a pseudo-tribal warriors deck work out.

I played it pretty safe and stuck to a two-color deck, and I think that helped me capitalize in many games against clunky 3-4 color decks. It felt a lot like drafting triple Shards. It's really tempting to grab all the 3-color goodies, but your deck will be far more consistent if you focus on 2 and splash the third. Unless you just get the hook-up on super fixing.

Jeering Instigator or Monastery Swiftsweeper (human monk) is the only cards I can think of that fits the goblin guide criteria.

I call fake. I have seen several videos of him talking and opening old boosters/starter decks and it always seems like he gets the god pack. I think he is just doing it for marketing and it doesn't take that much effort to wrap a bunch of fake alpha cards with plastic. Even if you got all of the cards graded for free, the odds of someone making money on opening an old starter deck is so low (basically, you have to open one of the top 10 rares) and that you would be pretty stupid for even thinking about it.

Also anyone notice how much wear was on the top of the back of the Lotus? I know condition elitists say no card comes from a pack perfect but that is too much wear in my opinion.

Would have to disagree that is reaction seems genuine. Everyone can react differently to different stimulus however it felt very underwhelming. And i am a person who almost cannot get excited/scared/surprised. His friend had no reaction at all. Sure, to some magic players $30k is not a lot of money, but his friend was just "Okay, yea, Lotus, i called it, whatever, let's finish this crap already".
