how good/important is artifact/enchantment removal? how should i value the 3cc exile spell, the 4cc scry spell, or annul?
Posted: Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:00 pm
same question griptide
Posted: Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:02 pm
Griptide, annul, the 3cmc exile, then the 4 scry.

thassa's bounty: I play the first copy 100% and make the second my 22nd card right?

playing without annul or the three mana exile guy is just asking to get blown out by gods or bestow creatures
Posted: Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:03 pm
i meant more in relation to... say... prey on the weak or a decent creature (courser, for example). like are enchantments so common that i would consider enchantment removal over other typesGriptide, annul, the 3cmc exile, then the 4 scry.

got it. that's the answer i was looking for.playing without annul or the three mana exile guy is just asking to get blown out by gods or bestow creatures

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not but Thassa's Bounty is nice as a 1 or 2 of but I wouldn't play more than that.

the artifact and enchantment hate hits pretty much anything you want dead. I'd pick the Courser over Annul as that isn't a hard removal spell like the othersi meant more in relation to... say... prey on the weak or a decent creature (courser, for example). like are enchantments so common that i would consider enchantment removal over other typesGriptide, annul, the 3cmc exile, then the 4 scry.

i have 2 annul but i feel like they're meaningless unless i keep U up all game and i don't think that's what this format is about.
Posted: Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:12 pm
that's what i'm asking i'm serious. i'm 97% sure you always play the first because draw 3 with "upside" is great, but having two 6cc spells that don't affect the board and aren't instant ala opportunity doesn't seem like the best.I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not but Thassa's Bounty is nice as a 1 or 2 of but I wouldn't play more than that.

4 chimeras 
Posted: Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:13 pm
there's no straight up card draw except for those shitty auras so having a bounty and going over the top in cards and hopefully card quality seems like another reason why you should only ever draft UG
Posted: Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:14 pm
i passed the 3/4 not expecting to wheel every copy of the 3/2. i'm pretty sure the 3/4 is better in a one-to-one comparison because 4 toughness is a sweet spot while 2 toughness dies to everything except for viper's kiss and the flame jab + scry4 chimeras

I like time to feed over the 1/4 mana dork
Posted: Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:15 pm
having a flash snapping drake with other text is probably as insane as i think it is because i was all about snapping drake
Posted: Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:16 pm
oh you have it in, in that case your deck looks super solid
Posted: Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:16 pm
horizon chimera is a beating.

it adds infinite mana thoughI like time to feed over the 1/4 mana dork

I think (short of the bident mayhap) thrillo got literally everything a UG deck could want in theros draft.
Posted: Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:25 pm
i don't think there have been enough sample drafts because every single time my deck is completely insane UG with no mana problems except maybe sometimes i want 18 land instead of 17.
Posted: Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:25 pm
i was going to post more sample drafts for analysis but i'm on internet that took a solid 3 minutes to upload one of those pictures and i'm running drafts way too quickly for my own good.

yeah putting infi mana into mistcutter hydra seems nuts
Posted: Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:26 pm
basically when i get back to the states i'm going to shave my head and wear a fedora and sunglasses to drafts every tuesday, friday, and sunday
Posted: Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:27 pm
it was that or a broken rare in a different color that wasn't blue or green so i went with the one that is technically monstrous.yeah putting infi mana into mistcutter hydra seems nuts

griptide is amazing
don't maindeck annul
the other enchantment removal is okay as one-ofs
thassas bounty seems bad to me, you're going to be using your mana every turn

Posted: Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:33 pm
pretty high imo, trample is goooood
Posted: Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:33 pm
originally the card was supposed to say "nai" and link to vulpine goliath but our card tags function differently from mtgs
Posted: Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:34 pm
Posted: Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:34 pm
nai is no goliath
