Lol, I was just going to make a thread. All of the promos are really good:

I think the black promo has the most raw power, 5 for 5 power flying and either draw or deal three a turn, but all of them could be really good and I think it most matters how good the removal is. White seems the weakest which is saddening, but context matters.

So far, I'm thinking either black or green, due to {chord of calling} or {waste not}possibly being in the color pack....but based solely off of promo, black all the way!

white could be very strong with the promo. say you are reduced to 2 health, play it and get full health again

i think in terms of overall bombiness, the order is green, black, white, red, blue. i mean black is very strong, but phytotitan must be exiled otherwise hes coming right back.

I think I will go green. Mainly because it is my favorite color; however I enjoy having a ton of extra mana! :) always get a huge board out

Post by: imthelolrus on July 02, 2014, 02:23:00 PM
Green or Black, G looks powerful in sealed, and first place gets a box so.. Probably will do whatever helps me win that. I want the black promo for my EDH, but if i pick green Im sure ill be able to trade for one.

Ive changed me mind. Black it is for the dude just because I don't care for many of those promos but sacking a creature or 3 life sounds good to me or draw card

Actually he is not coming right back, he comes back at the beginning if YOUR next upkeep AND he comes back tapped. That is not that great. He can only block every other turn then and not attack. It's good but the black one is clearly better.

clearly better in your opinion. if the black one dies, unless you shuffle your library or reanimate him hes gone for good. its not like sealed is a super fast format where your gonna be dead in two turns. chances are, games are gonna go long and thats where, IMO, {phytotitan} will shine.

True, clearly was a loaded word, but it is clearly better in the opinion of the majority. :)

And I apologize. I didn't intend to be mean but I guess I deserved neg karma?
