Title: What to draft? M14
Post by: Agarrita80 on August 14, 2013, 02:03:15 AM
Just wondering what people are picking up in their M14 drafts. Any must haves? Hidden bombs? Cards to avoid? Thanks!

(Mainly want to know overpowered commons an uncommons)

{Kalonian Tusker} is pretty boss and IMO {rootwalla} is a great common reprint.

I got luck with mine. Went WG had 4  {Pacifism}'s and a few  {Deadly Recluse}'s that I was able to hold down the board until I could drop my  {Serra Angel} and my two equiptments that double strike one and that one that can become a creature if there are no creatures you controll. Went 4-0 and only lost one round to a quick weenie deck that came out perfect.

I've fallen in love with {Time Ebb}. Tempo and draw denial for 3 mana. Yes please!

I am really loving blue-black heavy on flying in this set in limited formats, which is normally way out of my comfort zone. This set is getting me really into blue, which hasn't happened for me in a long time in limited.

You can't win against someone with a {Kalonian Hydra}, I've won every game with it.

Enchantments + {{Dismiss into dream}} + {{Auramancer}} + millstone = a night of early 90s magic stupidity. Wish I'd thought of it.

{DOOM BLADE}!!!!!!

Edit: but seriously, always run some form of kill spell or some thing to lock down a creature (like {Arrest}) if you can get it in Sealed and Drafted because a lot of those type of decks rely on a big hitter to win the game.

Thanks for info! I won my draft last night!  {Trading Post},  {Bubbling Cauldron}, and  {Shadowborn Demon} combo fell into my lap. Plus  {Archangel of Thune} always helps 😎

how did you get {shadow born demon} AND {archangel of thune}?!?! The only way I beat the demon was some well placed frost breaths... Man that card wrecks all of the everything...

Le derp on the spelling of "wreck".

I hope none of those were passes to you. Demon is an auto pick as you don't want to see it. Trading post is just value.

Got lucky, the 3 rares were all first pick. The only one passed to me was trading post because it was foil. Made a pretty solid black and white deck.
