I've always been a blue player, but for some reason when it comes to Ravnica it's always Rakdos that calls to me the strongest. I love their flavor!

what would you all pick at this point? i'm probably going to wait for a few more previews to decide


Izzet is my jam, but at this point I think I'm leaning more towards Golgari. They have sweet cards.

Well it doesn't have my guild (Gruul Smash), I'll probably go with Selesnya. Convoke has always been a sweet mechanic, and I like flooding the board with tokens.

Dimir is looking really good for limited so far, but boy are all the cards super parasitic. Pretty much all of them revolve around Surveil, which is going to make them pretty useless outside this set unless they start using Surveil more often.

Dimir looks bonkers in limited.

Boros looks crap, again. WR is my favorite color combinations and I wish they could do Boros justice once.

Boros seems okay to me. I'm worried about Golgari's quality though. I'm unsure about its mechanic being very well supported.

You often have a strange way of showing it, but for now Ill take your candor at face value, I guess.

I think the set is perfectly fine. Surveil is great. The flavor is good as always. Maybe its just the PWs being mediocre this time, but we got spoiled by DOM in that regard.

EDIT: If a contention is that 3/5 mechanics suck, well... Ravnica mechanics usually suck. It comes with the territory of having 10 mechanics in one block.

Arena never quite clicked with me, but it's good that more people will be able to try it out.

Edit: Wow, Danny Trejo really has nothing going on these days, huh.

Also full GRN spoiler is up.

Despite my claims earlier I would play Golgari, I am rethinking that decision seeing the full spoiler. This mechanic sucks and is badly implemented. Very disappointed.

I think it would be better with more enablers (Grisly Salvage, etc.) but as it stands, it is 100% reliant on getting a bunch of Surveil cards.

Yeah, I'm not sure that relying on Surveil to fuel the other graveyard mechanics is going to work to well.

I'm interested to try it because I'm kinda sick of M19 at this point, but I'm not quite as hyped as I usually am for a multicolored limited environment.

Gerry T is walking away from Worlds due to WotCs poor support of pro play. His post is pretty insightful and more than just a rant.

My biggest concern is that WotC isn't itself in a position to implement some of these things, and although WotC might indeed care a lot about a prominent pro player boycotting World Champs, I don't know how much Hasbro does.

Stuff like improving player communication and trying to overhaul coverage would go a long way by itself, though, and that they probably could accomplish.

Judged a PPTQ yesterday! It was a blast with 47 players and getting to judge alongside my old mentor again. Plus, it was the biggest event this store had ever hosted!

...Of all things, Jeskai Delver managed to win it.
