Does anyone have ideas for future leagues? I don't know if adding Origins packs to our pools would make a lot of difference from what we all have now, though I don't know if Origins will play nicely with BFZ either. I almost want to wait for BFZ, do 6-pack sealed of that, then add preferably 3 pack...

Kudos to Ian on the editing for the 5 stages of denial. Great timing! I laughed my butt off.

Dr_Kilinger and I have not been able to connect due to our poorly aligned schedules and prerelease weekend.

sacred_rhino 2 / 0 abanytar (venerable_bede)

Thanks for the games! My durdle midrange deck couldn't face the onslaught of warrior aggro.

abanytar (venerable_bede) 0/2 DomesticSleepers

Two great games! Thanks for doing me the courtesy of beating me with the good version of the deck.

OmegaLairon and I had a match already this season during the week of May 31st. Are we truly fated to meet again on the field of battle?

Thanks for the games, Duckay! I loved the intense siege/counter-siege action in Game 3.

abanytar (venerable_bede) 2 - 1 Omega Lairon (OmegaLairon)

Thanks for the games! Sorry Flooded Strand had to be so apropos in game 2.

abanytar (venerable_bede) 2-0 eltrov

Great games! eltrov's early aggression nearly had me both times, but alas, Silumgar, Captain of the Fun Police, wasn't going to have any of that.

Dix has been unavailable this week, and doesn't have access to MtGO this weekend. He offered me the win in a PM, but I'm fine with a draw.

If only my pool supported a strong Izzet deck, then all I'd have to do is splash black! Sadly, I think one of my dragon friends is going to have to sit on the bench.

I don't know what I've done to deserve this...

Here's my first ever 3-0 draft deck! I wasn't sure how it would perform, but Elusive Spellfist did good work. http://i.imgur.com/tr7D9sD.png My favorite moment was using Artful Maneuver on Elusive Spellfist two turns in a row to get through Hosk's wall of beef in order to win round 2.

abanytar (venerable_bede) 1 / 2 Dix (Dixonij)

After taking it in turns to get stuck on mana in games 1 and 2, I lost a proper game of Magic against Palace Siege. Thanks for the games, Dix!

I agree with the idea of everyone adding the same packs to their pools, but let's run a straw poll to efficiently tally the votes.

Any word on the next round? I know we had a week hiatus, which would mean this would be Week 8 of the League. Is the plan to make next week the last match of the season? I ask because I'm looking forward to opening Dromoka and putting her straight into my deck.

That moment when you have your opponent at 1 life, and all you have to do is make sure you don't sacrifice your Gudul Lurker to their Archfiend of Depravity.

And then you punt.

Nothing yet! I just wanted to be sure I knew what to do when it comes.

I assume we PM Omnicrat our draft pick for the pack and then wait for the next PM.

Abanytar 2 - 1 Omega Lairon Man, that was a good one - never thought I'd get to pull out the Wingmate Roc/Brutal Hordechief combo, but man was it delicious while it lasted. Game 3 mana flood always sucks, but thems the breaks. GGS friendo! GGS, Omega! Glad to witness that beautiful combo, even if I...

I think there's still a spot left, so I'll gladly jump in to fill out the 8th seat.

I mean, Alesha's extremely strong, but you shouldn't let one bomb pull you into a weak color. Aha! I get it. There's an amount of self-control needed to not just say, "Stronk rare, better play this color." Regarding Green, I guess my weakness in my knowledge of the format hurt me. How oft...

Those are, unfortunately, difficult questions for me to answer. I make the judgement call on running fewer than 15 creatures based on roughly how good I feel my noncreature spells are. In this case, I feel like the noncreature spells are strong enough that I could run fewer creatures. And yes, you ...

I considered UB, but I got scared off by what seemed to me a low number of creatures, and maybe just the concept of the control deck in general. It was easy for me to imagine how the BR deck would play - jam creatures into the red zone, deal damage, ???, profit. For a control deck (like the suggeste...

Let's play "Build a Better Deck!" So this is my pool from a Sealed event I did tonight on a whim. http://i.imgur.com/q4vhlRC.png And here's the deck I made from it. http://i.imgur.com/zkqmUdE.png My goal was to go 2-2. I ended up 1-3. :( So, as a novice of the game, I ask the wise and lear...
