I went on to win the tournament because apparently 1/1s that become 2/2s are insane and the unplayable Steppe Lynx of drafting yesteryear look very different today.

[Fedoras of Salvation] - White Knights ITT
I played my first BFZ draft yesterday. I drafted a very streamlined GR Landfall deck with only Rolling Thunder for removal.
My round one opponent was playing 4-color GB. Because that turn of phrase for a deck is obviously bad and inconsistent, I chewed his face off in short order. After the match, I offered a handshake and said "good games." After our handshake transaction ended, he paused and said "wait... ... Ok so don't take this the wrong way, but when someone loses, it should be on them to say good game or not. I got land screwed..." And my eyes kind of glazed over. When I was done being lectured, I asked him if he would still be concerned about this moment when he woke up tomorrow. He said no and I told him good luck next round. I asked other people about this after the match. Two of two people agreed I was in the wrong.
My point is that we need another 9/11, the first one has already stopped doing its job.

My true sorrow in life is that the likelihood of encountering Jeff Goldblum with at least a play set of delvers before he or I die quickly approaches 0.And this is why we are friends.i didn't even care whether or not delver was going to be good, i just desperately wanted a jeff goldblum/cronenberg-themed card foil and in as many copies as i could get my dumb hands on
But that's why they're called aspirations.

Most of what I bought that is garbage are either commons/uncommons or stuff that was probably garbage when I bought it but I figured I'd roll the dice.

Yes that's why it sucks that I bought them when I'd already preordered them. Because they cost more now than they did when Past Cole thought hey maybe this inexpensive creature that enables Affinity and is a combo with Ravager and the rest of the deck has something going for it.

Also, I would not spend money on Evolutionary Leap past the first playset, but I would trade for them at their current (Low on TCGPlayer) value.

I've made a thread where I blindly speculate that most of this set's money cards are going to cool faster than a windowsill pie on a winter day, and that $1 and lower cards are where you're going to get cash and prizes.

Evolutionary Leap is pretty overpriced. I think SCG had it right at $2 IPO.
Bare in mind the card could go up to $20 at some point (because Standard). I'm saying Birthing Pod was $4 and capped at $10 before it was banned and that this card is not Birthing Pod.
I think it'd be a good idea to buy that card that reduces the cost of Enchantments now. In the short term while Theros is still legal, that card is probably going to go wild for GB. It'd be a good place to shortsell.

That Walker is pretty interesting. Ravager is now positively synergistic with Cranial Plating rather than anti. May wind up being too cute, but it meshes nicely with Overseer and Ravager.

Well I hope one of these Silvergill Adepts in red see play. I'm getting red balls waiting to put them in something.
I guess this guy is sort of like a reverse Silvergill Adept, since SIlvergill gets cast on curve and in the worst case costs more, while this gets cast when you have more cost and in the worst case gets cast on curve.

I welcome all support for dumb linear tribal aggro strategies because I classically try to build horrible linear tribal decks that are just the worst and it's great to nostalgically pull the worst Magician in me out.

Standard Goblins is going to be something else with all those token generators, Denizen, and Rabblemaster.
Looking through Modern, Goblins is way too fair unless they reprint Goblin Ringleader with the Elf version. Piledriver has the distinct issue of driving into Bolts and Kolaghan's Command, what I would argue are the current defining removal spells of the format, in addition to suffering from a very linear stream of pressure and no major way to cheat. Some rando beat LSV's attempt at learning Amulet Bloom with a Goblins deck, which may be a good baseline to start with, but there definitely has to be some way for the deck to generate card advantage aside from vomiting its hand on the board and hoping the opponent dies.

"If Ms. Wolff wants women to be more visible, she needs to encourage women to create the kind of content that both men and women want to read and have that person have the kind of visibility that Mark Rosewater has. This is no different than Barbara Walters or Katie Couric. Yea sure, we originally had Walter Croncite. But we also have to contend with the fact that Mr. Rosewater is Jewish."

It seems awesome in Standard and mostly outclassed by everything in other formats. Like maybe as a sideboard card against a control-heavy meta, but the aforementioned Flame Javelin already exists and sees virtually no play.

The best analogy I can make of Modern is the Hearthstone ladder meta. Various decks are all "good," many just aren't good right now. So, for example, Burn has not done anything in a while but it's lost nothing and gained nothing, the meta has merely shifted against it. Elf Company is presumably good, but the last time I saw it in a Daily it was one of at 3-1. RG Tron is also good, but it didn't(?) t8 either of the last two Modern GPs.
I would bet against Zoo most days of the week because it's the most fair deck in a format of decks that render you as an opponent irrelevant or play fair while not letting you play. Also because Bolt/Path/Terminate/Inquisition/Decay is the path of the fair decks, which line up very well with your threats.
People keep doing well with Merfolk which is wild to me, but I would also continue to assume someone else is going to do something about it so I don't have to.

There is no "all in on fulminator" deck but that's the great thing about modern is that you can play anything if you tune it enough. My big fear with a deck like that is that the non interactive decks would just devour you before you resolve the first fulminator, but that's where tweaking and refining comes in.
