so who's ready for Guilds prerelease the LGS I play at has been doing drafts of RTR block leading up to this. Gatecrash was... an experience. |
| commandercool:
I'm looking forward to it. I'll be curious to see how the guilds hold up, Dimir looks way better than the others on paper but I think it's also easiest to evaluate. The others might be sneakily better than I think they are. I'll definitely be playing Golgari. |

Magic Arena open beta started today. Is anyone playing? I created my account today and therefore missed out on a bunch of free mythics, but oh well. There's a free singleton league available during launch week that's nuts. It gives a guaranteed rare if you do well enough (I've seen four opened so far and three of them were mythics) and it's pretty easy to game the system and just craft one-ofs instead of playsets with your starter crafting materials to get way higher deck quality than most people are working with. |

Anyways I've been doing pretty okay with my Junk Knight deck, It's been doing well although can't do well against big threats |

I've played against Rat Colony a few times in singleton and I thought it sucked. I definitely have a good matchup against it with my Golgari deck and all of my small value creatures bouncing around that makes it unprofitable for them to swing, but they're also just really soft to disruption with only one copy of Conqueror's Banner. Would not play, happy to play against. Edit: I still don't really know how to evaluate Undergrowth overall, but it's interesting in formats with little or no good graveyard removal like Arena Singleton. It's slow and awkward so you don't want too much of it, but just one or two Undergrowth cards can end the game immediately if the game goes long. Makes Golgari scary for control to play against since they can never let their guard down and the threats are recyclable. If you have white and you're playing singleton consider packing Remorseful Cleric... |
