ZTD is undervalued I believe as it basically adds "Deal 1 damage to each opponent" to every creature you cast with it. ZTD also slips around Witchbane Orb that decks are starting to pack to turn off spears. Its the same rules clause as Hellrider triggers, no instance of word target so Orb ...

I think wolf is still a prime facilitator and even more so now with Putrefy running around. I think Hound may also make a comeback thanks to its undying trigger forcing them to use 2 or more cards on clearing it. Reckoner seems now to feel like he needs a shield to stay in play as many more decks no...

So I worked out a "cheat sheet" notation for each of the sets, do you guys want me to post it? It shows the removal and evasion for each color, each color pair and each guild plus how much of that number is at the common/uncommon slot. Fits on a post it now :P

For those attempting to figure out what guild to go with I would suggest choosing a guild with a mechanic that still works if you don't have tons of it. Remember you won't get to cherry pick like you do in draft so some mechanics are going to be harder to capitalize on as the clusters are now dilute...

Pyrewild does 3 so everytime he connects he generates +1 VCA, his rush does 3 as well so if it connects he still gives +1 VCA to knock his card cost to 0. I think he might be worth testing in the GHC spot. GHC when pumped will generate +1 VCA when connecting with the downside of no blocks, Shaman ha...

Only thing I could see was making some concession for Legion's Initative to remove the weakness to sweeps. But thats changing 8 lands for Duals, and adding in 2-4 cards. Which may actually mess with the decks consistency.

Instant speed - R - Target creature gets +1/0 and FS - 1R Overload

Looks like this will be in a much sweeter spot and almost providing loyalist lite 5, 6 & 7

Does Riot Piker want a space in this list? A 2/1 FS for 2 isn;t the worst, but whats his opportunity cost?
