I am glad that you guys knew what 'shards' were this time, and seemed to have a better idea of what you were talking about. I am only half way through but it seems like an improved podcast.

BTW my feelings on cube drafting right now haven't changed.

Nice work again guys... very entertaining....
I am in the same boat as Sam with the Winston drafts ( heaps, but all pretty much only with a cube )..... and you never get tired of it ( or have weak decks... )..

Lol what the? Did I accidentally load mtgsalvation forums? This set looks like heaps of fun, I'm really going to enjoy it. Of course I've said that before and a set has sucked, so I'll really have to wait until after the prerelease to decide, but I really do think I'm going to enjoy the set.

Interested in what makes a bad set

Uninteresting, power level or the type of decks it promotes

I hated the idea of Lorwyn with all its tribal aggro decks and overall I still think Lorwyn was a bad block ...just not as bad as I thought it would be. I liked Shadowmoor a lot more since it was not so tribal themed but both Eventide and Morningtide struck me as bad sets...a lot of dross and then bam a must have Mutavualt and Figure of Destiny.

I hated Lorwyn draft yet I like Lorwyn plus Morningtide draft, the extra set seemed to make it less draft by numbers.

I really enjoyed Kamigawa but obviously it was heaps weaker than Mirrodin which meant for a lot of people it sucked. Mind you saviors definitely sucked...the epic spells were ok though

ok, I think the set will be great fun in limited, I am really looking forward to it. What I don't look forward to is another yr of lorwyn block constructed. Hopefully I am wrong.

Ahh yeah I guess. Thats more of a problem with Faeries though. I think I look at new sets for Limited these days, as I don't really play any Type 2 any more.

Take fairies out of Lorwyn and constructed gets worse......... 5 color is ok but after that there is no card advantage just hope you draw well.

I think the set could be a slow burner. Lorwyn sought of gave you the decks on a platter and while cards like Shriekmaw and Muldrifter are going to remain in heavy use I think Shard will be a good set.

The forum on which they spoiled the (almost) last 60 or so cards is awash with people saying it's terrible/worst set ever/they hate it/mechanics are bad/ and so on. It's funny, I don't know if I look at the set differently, but I seem to assess it with it's relation to limited, and how the cards will inter relate. I really like the look of it I must say, I'm enjoying playing with all the different shards, and I like how each one has it's own mechanic.

While at the same time I can understand how having a grizzly bear in the set might seem terrible:
Cylian Elf (1)(G)
2/2

Maybe it's just what the set needed to shore up green, as opposed to giving it a keyword just so it would be different.

And for constructed I love the charms, the aggro creatures, the devour mechanic, and it will be fun to see how it turns out.

In a way it's quite interesting, the way all the writers articles I've been reading (on Starcitygames) have been saying they love the set, and yet all these people are saying they absolutely hate it, without even playing.

The new set will be awesome for drafting especially, but I think the tribal mechanic will overshadow Type 2 for a while to come...

I agree that the set looks bad.

There are tonnes of common creatures that are over-costed/under-powered.

Blue gains nothing from this set. It is kinda funny that the only blue cards that will see constructed play will be in non-blue (affinity) decks.

Also the set seems light on removal so I would expect evasion to be even more relevant.

There are some solid uncommons but too many near unplayable rares. And then there's the issue with choosing a Shard. This is going to lead to some ugly Sealed Pools.

Well unless a set reprints power nine its pretty hard for it to get good reviews.

When was the last set people liked on an internet forum??

Timespiral - People complained about slivers
Plan Chaos - Complaints about color pie.
Future Sight - Millions of Complaints about card face and what sets they think will be coming out now and how this is the end of magic
Cold Snap - Most hated set ever i think
Lorwn - Tribal _ Enough said
Morningtide - This really was a weak set with a few great cards but 80% unplayable in constructed

There is always hate, I remember thinking Lorwyn was the worst set of all time until Sam told me to get Cryptic Commands :)

Only Future Sight in recent memory was a set with a lot of good rares and only one big money card, I consider it the perfect rare distribution set as there was a much lower percentage of stinker rare. Stinker rares being the ones absolutely no one wants.

Time spiral was good because you got two


I also think people on that a particular forum are really really bad at seeing the big picture and how the cards come together. They tend to just focus on one point at let that blinker them i.e. no good card draw this set sucks.
People also tend to compare to the existing format and don't see that the Shards environment will be different.

Yeah, basically the majority of the internet is pretty dumb. But we all know this. They'll complain about everything even if there's nothing left to complain about.

Although we don't get much of that here really, if anyone's complaining about something they've usually actually thought about it.

We should probably all put our experiences of the new set up

If we could get a mini review of each stores pre release that would be brilliant

Store Name
Location
How many players
Cost
Organization: Were they organised/disorganised
Judging quality
Any other issues: close to food, parking etc
Prize support
Potential: even if things didn't go smooth on the day do you think it will improve in the future, did they realize their mistakes?

Yeah, I am generally not one to complain about sets, but this is the first time I have looked at the first set in a block and not seen a single card that excites me. Each block in t2 should have a close to even impact on the format. I don't see how any deck can come from this set that even comes close to being good enough. It also contributes almost nothing in terms of playable mon-coloured cards for T2. I was thinking about doing a set review..but now I think it would be really boring for me.

Well the only issue I have with that comment is "nothing in terms of Mono-colored"... What is your opinion of the multicolored spells? I think that a few of them have a lot of potential.

I think its harder to have an impact on a format without having a linear mechanic such as tribal. Things such as multicolored sets, especially this one being tri-colored, will probably take another set for it to make new decks.

Still, I've seen new decks emerging as I said on the podcast, even before the set is completely spoiled. Sure the impact won't be great, but its still there.

A few of the multicolour creatures are pretty good provided a home can be found for them. The charms are all decent and maybe cruel ultimatum...I'm not seeing it though.

The plainswalkers are all ok, worse than most of the lorwyn ones though.

I'd sort that into rarity....Commons is mostly what you want to look at, and rares are generally irrelevant.

evaluating a set from the spoiler is always tough, but there's certainly a chunk of playable cards here. the mana is just a touch more awkward than we are used to; whether that's an issue or not remains to be seen

still, the set looks exciting for limited, a lot of fun, has some great art, some great designs... complaining about it because only a few cards are going to see play in constructed seems like a really narrow way to look at things

besides, most sets appear weak for constructed at a glance. i remember people thinking lorwyn wasn't going to make much of an impact aside from a few cards...and that was mostly true, until suddenly a handful of extra cards arrived in eventide, and previously "ok" tribal decks became dominating. there's no reason to think some better 3-color fixers/support cards could turn some apparently marginal cards here into powerhouses.

anyway, who really cares about constructed anyway! limited is where it is at

I appreciate the trouble you went to to compile this list.

If you take the rare, counterspell and creatures with ability to kill creatures then the list is skinny.

I've played a bit of cube too, my experiences were similar, I remember being on the receiving end of Panoptic_Mirror + Evacuation, when I finally got around it, I was on the receiving end of some nasty u/w enchantment control. What bugged me was my mass removal of Nev's Disc, Wrath, Kirtar's Wrath and Rout, weren't particularly effective because my opponent rarely played creatures, preferring to kill mine with my own Lieutenant_Kirtar then re-animate Kirtar with that Guildpact-Orzhov 7/8 drop enchantment, wash-rinse-repeat. I broke through on I think turn 25 when I Vengeanced, thus killing the enchantment and all the board, including the Ob-ring on my Exhalted Angel, and I got to come swinging in with my angel against an empty board. Good times.

I'll be saving some boosters from the PR for drafting. I'm with Weasel, I love the new set, though I am a bit of a "timmy" when it comes to card outlook.

it's worth noting that the last few cards to fill out the spoiler are generally common. and every set looks light on removal, until you remember that 5 or so removal spells per limited deck is about normal

I have a complete set of Kamigawa, Betrayers and Saviors just sitting ina folder collecting dust.

I could make that into a cube. it wouldn't really feel like a traditional Kamigawa draft though because the ratio of commons to uncommons to rares is totally out of whack.

I think it would be something that is fun to draft...but only like once a year, which is more use than it is getting now :)

I think a Rotiserie draft would a be better use for it.

I think we have something else already set up for next week, but we could do this the week after? Or maybe we could *PLAY* rotisserie before we talk about it, that way it will be a cool report on it.

I want to use ninjas though :(

Maybe Betrayers minus Jitte. It's the only card in the set that I actually need for constructed so it suits me to take it out.

I have spares of most everything else

Well if you wanted to keep your collection there's not reason why we can't run it cube style, and give you back the cards at the end.

Like, its probably more fun that way, rather than everyone jumping onto chase rares first.
