Scenario: You're team drafting. Pack 1, Pick 1, your options are Dromaka, Mistfire adept, or Scalegaurd Elite. Which do you take and why?

Ipswich Mafia - Sign Ups

The year is 1692 and the harvest is nearly complete. With not quite the expected bounty, there may not be enough food for the coming winter. Some people had entire sections of farm die to a blight. Tensions rose as the threat of famine loomed, but it wasn't just the food. Strange things were happen...

Thanks, Stardust.
Best advice I can give is to give confirmations for night actions via pm, do your vote counts on a consistent basis and decide before hand how night actions resolve.
Will do, will do, and already done. Thanks Rez.

If variance wasn't part of the game, then you'd always see the same pros in the top 8 of every open tournament, instead of seeing them frequently lose to no name local players. You can't look at #1 as winning, #2 - #8 as "doing okay," and #9 - #500 as " scrubbing out." In a game...

Dechs, just to play devil's advocate ( :evillol: ), what about true variance losses such as drawing numerous lands in a row or multiple mulligans due to no land? Addressed that already. Most commonly that's failure to shuffle properly. Here's the thing: You can mulligan. Even with proper shuffling,...

I really don't understand why people keep saying that variance doesn't exist in magic. It's not true that all losses are your fault and you could always have done better decisions. Sometimes you lose because your deck just implodes . The real challenge is accepting variance and understanding that y...
