Shards Pick Orders
Posted On 10/15/2008 15:31:03 by toor
 Below 50 is Unplayable. Below 80 are generally not First pickable first pack (except for weak packs)
White
Akrasan Squire - Rating: 60
This guy is great in agressive white decks. But you want to be able to play him on turns 1/2/3. So if your spending your time cracking panoramas or casting Obelisks he should not be making the cut.

Angel's Herald - Rating:50
I generally dont even like this cycle when you have the mythic. However for hellkite and Archangel I am w... Read More

Shards Limited Part 2: How to Evaluate Cards
Posted On 10/15/2008 14:44:50 by toor
The one peculiar thing about Shards drafting, is that similar to Poker you must adjust your behavior to you competitors. I think this is much more true then for previous draft formats such as Shadowmoor and Lorwyn. There are multiple reasons for this:

a) A lot of unplayables. If people at the table are competent and unwilling to take unplayables over cards that are decent but off color, then you can often be struggling for that 22nd or 23rd.

So it seemed like a good idea to try and practice for these events. I was also trying to get to limited 1900 rating for the GP, but having got there twice, I proceeded like an idiot and participated in two sanctioned drafts which were RGD and Suicide Respectively. These two knocked me back down to the 1890s. Part of me realized that I s... Read More

Surfing the Variance Wave- PTQ Kyoto Report *1st*
Posted On 10/09/2008 01:18:21 by armlx
I arrived in Columbus with low expectations, as my previous Limited “achievements” amount to prerelease flight wins and a PTQ top 8 off the back of a sealed Pool where maybe 6 of my MD cards weren’t first pickable in draft. Still, PTQ’s are good times, and I wasn’t going to miss one even if it did mean having to listen to Hoku on the way down there.    My pool didn’t look stellar based on my prerelease experiences. It had some solid G/W stuff, a decent amount of remo... Read More

Posted On 09/27/2008 21:31:19 by Rikente
  The Prerelease was a beast. First place wasn't really expected by me, but after looking at the deck I feel I should have foreseen it. I'm the raw mind, FIRE FIRE, the one sail...eronħ
