Title: Iorn man format choices
Post by: Birdbrain on July 01, 2013, 09:40:06 PM
Other than {searing spear} what are some good choices for the iron man format? I think I want to try it out some day

Oh wait...oh! Land destruction is evil in this format! Are there any permanents that destroy lands the opponent controls?

For those who are unaware of this format...if a card goes directly from your library/hand to the graveyard, its ok. But if it goes from the battlefield to the graveyard, or was cast from your hand and is an instant/sorcery its ripped up

MaRo mentioned it in one of his "drive to work" podcasts

Yeah I've seen this before. It makes no sense to me.
its a excellent way to improve your deck building skills, as well as give you tolls for common formats

The format realy makes you think twice about everything, and sense you have to rip it up, it makes you play better because you want the card for the next game. Realy great for honing ones abilities in the control archetype
