Dies to Removal

Any tips for yourney sealed/draft format from our limited masters? I know it is not yet on mtgo, however you might played it in real life this time

Still bant color combos is the best in draft? Cant talk about sealed at it depends of what you open.

Also what are your thoughts on first pics multicolored carda? Worth taking good god or ajani or just always avoid pushing yourself i to 2 color combo?
Also what kind of cards you take over banishing light? Really good bomb?

Seems legit, I was just overlooking constelation triggers too much (with both -1/-1 and ping creatures). Still fair amount of removal.

Cards to consider. 35 total (16 basic lands + temple of RB)

Red - almost not playing
Green - playing for sure
Orange - dont know

1s:
Loyal Pegasus
Lagona-Band Traiblazer

For sure not plying Loyal Pegasus, Band Traiblazer might be a sb slot for more agressive decks.

2s:
Oreskos Sun Guide
Leonin Snarecaster
2 Returned Phalanx
2 Returned Reveler

Somewhere I read you must play around 4 to 6 2 drops even as grindy deck. Imo Oreskos is the best, dunno about Returned Phalanx - they are also great but cant attack. Snarecaster and
Revelers are the worst out of the other. WIth 2 phalanx I think deck should have 1 island somewhere.

3s:
Elite Skirmisher
Harvestguard Alseids - triggers constelation, allows for safe attacks
Blood-Toil Harpy
2 Grim Guardian

Overall am quite happy about this slot.

4s:
Fate Unravel
Squelching Leeches - how do you feel about this card?
Disciple of Phenax
Returned Centaur - imo dont needed as no grave synergy

5s:
Silen Artistan
Supply-Line Cranes
Doomwake Giant
Keepsake Gorgon
Dreadbringer Lampads
[
color=#00BF00]Gray Merchant of Asphodel[/color]

Slot 5 is quite big, imo Giant is quite good with amount of enchantment we have. Lampads is the worst from those, however still solid imo (however worse than merchant)

6+:
Marshmist Titan - we have quite a lot black devotion, however cant be cast before turn 4 makes it quite bad.

Removal:
Viper's Kiss
Ray of Dissolution
Drown in Sorrow
Divine Verdict
2 Excoriate
2 Weight of the Underworld

Tricks & Pumps:
Godsend
Phlanx Formation - imo not needed in this type of deck
Aspect of Gorgon - should be good as have synergy with constelation plus makes my 1/X blockers quite big walls that arent easily killed, however doesnt draw a card.

is BW stronger than BR?

Ok as this pool seems discussed quite heavily lets get ready for another one. Thanks for your effort!!!

This pool is quite hard to evaluate, and I can see it is possible to build 2 deck quite easily with it.

Lets first talk about colors:

White: Godsend is quite a bomb, we have 7 playable creatures with 3 terrors and enchantment removal + Double strike trick.

Blue: not deep enough

Black: here we are cooking with gasoline. 2 Solid rares (Giant and Fate Unravel), 16 creatures (counting Squelching Leeches as we might be solid black deck, Marshmist Titan as we have quite a lot of black mermanents). Not sure about those Returned Revelers (1/3 for 2 that mills both players). Quite a lot of removal (drown in sorrow, keepsake gorgon, disciple of phenax, viper's kiss (in Journey we have even more 1 toughness creatures), 2 weight of
the underworld). Dont know if Aspect of Gorgon is playable so I left it in sb.

Green: 9 playable cards.

Red: Solid cards overall. 6 Removal spells spread on cmc, 2 combat tricks (I love rise to the chalenge), 6-7 solid creatures spread quite well on curve.

Fixing: RB Temple.

Verdicts:

IMO Black has the best cards, it is quite possible to build mono black (it wont be good but passable). I think secondary color should be either White or Red. Red is deeper color so I would say red is better.

Opinions?

Ehat are you huys thinking about 5/5 for 5 that can attack only if opponent control island?

the pool you generated is awkward, but it's got four bounce spells, two Hammer's and a UR god, so that's the deck I would force, wih 17 land and a Unicorn. No 3rd color.

You have to work with what you open. UR is an only option right?

Thoughts on Gluttonous Cyclops and Cyclops of Eternal Fury as a curve finisher?
How good is Eternity Snare?
Worth playin MD Annul?
Worth playing Polymorphous Rush? I dont have extraordinary
cretures to copy, but it can target any creature, also works as combat trick.
There is quite a lot of 4 drops available. Which of 5 playable creatures are best?

I think kait is right that you would have to go UR with that pool. UB is another option but it is probably the worst color combination in THS+BNG and i think the UR is better here.

I cut down to 25 cards before I started to have some trouble and I don't have time to finish right now, but I will give short answers to your questions.

I don't think your deck needs those curve toppers since you have a couple monsterous/bestow guys to use plus the god. (i cut them)

eternity snare is quite good in sealed, it was still there at 25 but it was a consideration to be cut since the deck i was building was pretty aggressive and hopefully their creatures won't be tapped.

annul is a 22nd or 23rd card in a bad pool. sb card in this pool

having never played with JiN i will guess that the rush is quite good and makes good use
of the many 2 drop 2/1s you'll have sitting around late game to turn into flyers or death touch guys or something.

i had all 5 in at 26 cards and then cut the hippo since you don't have a ton of good guys to use the trick with.

Thanks for answers, I also had 26 cards after trimming. I didnt consider cutting hipocamp as it might be useful with double retraction helix to bounce 2 creatures.

Yeah I started it as a tempo deck (5 2 drops) with bounce.

Rush with so many cheap creatures might be awsome to push last damage or uptrade.

Question to other. Do you see cards I opened or is it totaly random / you dont see it.

So I opened Keranos, Master of Waves, Hypnotic Siren, Polymorphous Rush (how good is it?), Thoutseize, Eater of a Hopes and Fated Return. While I have rares spread in basicly 2 colors, I dont like black ones in sealed that much as they are overpriced. Black isnt great also (1 solid removal and 1 eye gouge).

Green isnt awsome, good cards are only: Nessian Game Warden, Mortal's Resolve, Nessian Courser, Ravenous Leucrocota, Satyr Groovedancer, Shreddint Winds and Staunch Heated Warrior, and some of them arent really great either.

White isnt deep enought.

I would try to build RU to make use of my 2 rares and 2 mythics in those colors. In addition I have quite a lot of creaters (18 creatures spread quite nicely), removal (Eternity Snare, Annul, 2 Hubris, 2 Retraction Helix, 2 Fall of the Hammer, Spark Jolt) and only 1 combat trick (
Titan's Strenght).

Gorgon's Head and Oppaline Unicorn also might be an option.

Thoughts?

Hello everyone, I hope I will get some of limited specialists to disscuss sealed deck creation. GP Warsaw is in 2 weeks, and MTGO release events starts after it so I wont have much ocasion to play this format. So I am looking for help here.

I will be using http://www.magicdrafting.com for generating sealed pools.

Here is a first one: http://www.magicdrafting.com/savedpools/1608

Disscuss.
