Tiny Leaders: EDH For People Who Hate The Reasons People Liked EDH.

It's a fun format in its own right, and it's done a good job of diverting the super-spiky folks away from the hyper-casual EDH tables, which is best for all involved

I hate sounding like a snob, but I just enjoy legacy more than anything else. Modern is fine, standard has its moments. EDH is fucking terrible.

I'd rather play vs burn and miracles all night than EDH.

I'd rather Rochester draft than any of the other formats, but for some reason I can't find another 7 people to rock it

Appreciate the insight on the Dual Lands. I'm not getting away from Magic, I still thoroughly enjoy it. But, I've got 4, 3rd edition DLs that I don't really need and more ideas for new decks than are good for me. Quick sales aren't important, but avoiding a pain in the ass would be preferable, I suppose. When I look on SCG and see Underground Sea in "played" quality for $250 retail, what would be a realistic expectation; half of that?

How the FNM promo Serum Visions art made it out of WotC's art division is a fucking mystery.

3v3 Team Rochester draft is the greatest format of all time.

I really wonder if they gave it to a foreign artist and it was translated badly.

I bet it ends up super popular in Japan.

"They told me it was an audition for the Magic: The Gathering Movie."

Hoping that the video of easily-opened-and-resealed MM2015 packs is fabricated, since the main form of draft I'm probably going to encounter for the set is "everyone brings their own packs."

I doubt it is. Supposedly something about too little glue on the pack, but you can still do the same thing with a razor. They should never have moved away from cellophane. These new cardboard packs are going to be hell on foils because of humidity.

I'm so glad I already traded my box. I sense an impending shitstorm.

Modern Masters drafts were fun last night. Forced U/G Graft a couple times. Thrumming Bird is a real sonuvabitch. Kinda sucks that you basically never get any Tezzeret's Gambits because other people hoover em up, but you get some really late pick Steady Progresses to make up for it.

Friend bought me in for the FNM draft and I took 1st. BUG graft/e spawn/tokens/+1+1counters/proliferate. Creakwood, Thrumming Bird, Inexorable Tide, Frogling, 2x Thrive(had 3), Squirter, 2x Vines.

Tried going arcane/spirits when I got two early Thief of Hope but the cards either weren't there or someone I didn't play got them. Format was much more fun than I was expecting I just wish people had been more familiar with the cards. So many 3-5minute turns and one poor guy was devastated when I cast Thrive for 6 and connected with Thrumming Bird on the same turn. I kind of regret not running the Bloodthrone I drafted with 2x Invader, 2x Predator, 2x Drone but I wanted to cast Crusher god damnit.
