.::Duel Monsters Comet RPG::.

oi, some of the cards got spotter over at www.Mtgnews.com.

all I have to say is that Teysa is my new lover. lol

:dancingfoof: Teysa + Savra :dancingfoof:

lol

well anywho, there are alot of RFG type cards in Guildpacts, im really liking it. :D

Sigh...so far...Orzhov disappointed me (Life Drain is going nowhere...and I don't see anyway to utilize Haunt good...)

Doesn't matter, though...more toys for my G/W/R Aggro...(Salesnya cards are quite good, Boros cards are good...and so far, Gruul cards is quite good also...)

BTW...partial spoiler is available at MTG Salvation (http://www.mtgsalvation.com)

P.S. Savra + Teysa pwns...

Wizards obviously wants you to run Gruul, and they obviously don't like Orzhov that much (sans Teysa, who is just awesome). I actually love how I've only seen three good izzet cards too (niv-mizzet, guildmage, electrolyze). :/

wtf, the only revealed counterspell is horrible. Thanks! Blue officially sucks ass now in ravnica block. :(

Ion- the B discard haunt ability with Sakura to rob an opponent of a turn when they're topdecking. It's also basically a free 2 for 1. That 1WB haunt cleric is horrible though. Its ability is relevent in this current environment, but good luck pulling off that haunt effect. :/

Well...the main reason Blue suck is that...Azaroth haven't come yet!!!

So far, the set doesn't seems to interest me much...unlike Ravnica, where cards aren't really THAT good (I only find about 10 cards good for constructed), it get interesting. This set is just boring...GOD...get Mark Gottlieb to design them...that'll surely be fun...(Voice: He's one of the designer of Dissension...so...just wait)

But...as far as I know, I'll probably wait for Dissension with Baron's favorite Control freak guild (U/W), a very interesting combination (U/G), and my favorite destruction freak Rakdos (B/R)

Bottom Line...Dissension >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ravnica + Guildpact...

Dissension has already been proven to own everything because it has two U guilds. :)

I mean, Azorius senate? Faith's Fetters and counterspells in easy access with a dual land? Yes please. :D

And Teysa still rules. I mean, a 2/3 for 3 that has an ability that makes all of your weaker black creatures better when they die. I mean...I think Champions of Kamigawa proved that flying token generators are pretty damn good. ;)

dawn: I'm actually pissed that I still have to actually WAIT for my favorite U/W guild...

That aside, from what I had seen for now, the 3 guilds are really imbalance in this set. Wizards seems to be printing on the pack "play GRUUL!!" since there're only few interesting cards for others (you had named all of them...).

All 3 mechanics in this set is weak anyway...I mean, Replicate is expensive, Haunt is really "lame" (the abilities are not interesting), and Bloodthrist is just...WOW, "godly"... :lolfoof:

But no matter how bad Guildpact is (which there's still 60 cards yet-to-be-spoiled which can always contain another Skullclamp), it's still better than any of the recent Yu-Gi-Oh sets... :off:

HAIL TO DISSENSION!!! HAIL TO THE SENATE!!!

P.S. Too bad Wizards is hosing Blue pretty bad...I mean, they give us some stupid abilities that are just...lame...I WANT MY COUNTERSPELL!! (It's just funny to see my friend's pissed off face when I first play using the Blue 7th Ed. starter that have the godly Counterspell and Magpie...)

P.S. Meloku is among those "few good blue creatures", and that -1/-1 Haunt card can surely kills all my Illusion Tokens...

Haunt wont see alot of play, but some of the effects are preaty decent.

When you combine G/W/B making a Selehov deck you can get a preaty nasty game going. Token Generation + Pump up + More Pump up. Can't be too bad. Im actually interested more in the RFG cards than anything else. Devouring Light for a 3 cost white is preaty good. :) combining that with Teysa and the ability she has to already remove. man, thats just dirty.

yea, blue isnt doing too great right now but what can you expect its set is dissensions.

and i dunno about you but W/U/R can be game quickly. Especially If you replicate cards like Lightning Helix. I mean seriously a 2 cost 3 take away plus 3 giver x as many times you can replicate it. jeez. it really makes it hard to win. Of course itll take time, but look at BUGDOZER not many will think its good, but i think it rocks. :)

just give it sometime.

and yes they are pushing the R/U alot especially since the sealed tourney for the prerelease, the hardest guild to make will be W/B/G.

if your playing this in sealed, then you better have alot of luck especially to pull the cards you need for it.

Ehh...probably more than Soulshift...

As for G/W/B Selehov, Teysa is just lame in the deck...(although her stats is not THAT great...but that's for all Guild champions)

As for Blue, I don't know...Wizards is making Counterspells more "expensive" (mana-wise), no more Instant card drawing (just look at the replacement of Inspiration to Counsel in 9th), the creatures always suck (except few of them). Maybe we just get use to Blue being dominant.

As for UWR...I mean, there's still 60 cards yet to be "spoiled". There's always chance of a crazy common anyway...

oh defently, we wont know whats up till the list is completed. Not to mention alot of us will be ripping up packs come saturday / sunday. :)

I really cant wait. I hope I or one of my team partners pulls some out. I just cant wait to experiment with the stuff.

and yea, i guess blue is just too used to and needs to be let down from its pedestal once in a while.

I'm probably going to be getting some decks constructed come this weekend after the prerelease.

Seems like Orzhov may be a powerful route in limited for this weekend. Honestly, I have no idea what to expect with constructing a deck via draft...lol.

On the note of BUGDozer: 5 decks in the top 8 of today's mtgo premiere were bugdozer. A lot of them were running Doppelganger. My deck started a trend. Sweet. :D

But people still insist on playing 4-5 color manascrew.dec. It's annoying as sin. I lost to one round 1 due to running out of time thanks to server lag. First premiere where I didn't top 8 in block constructed. :/

DGoH: You know what sucks? No prerelease in my city (Austin, TX)

As for Blue, really, they just freaking need to balance the colors anyway (which is still not happening, just i.e. Green still being just supporting cast most of the time)

As for draft...I don't know why Wizards seems to encourage people playing the Mad Scientists, but from what I had seen spoiled, Orzhov owns in limited (and sucks in Constructed)

itlls take time.. Watch, eventually the guild will get its come upins, we still have 1 more set to go before we call it quits on a perticular guild.

If i remember correctly, Every Color is suppose to have a specific Rare Aura.

Flicker form = White
Dream Leash = Blue
Followe Footsteps = Blue
? = Red <-- i seen it i forgot its name though.

Green and black never got an enchant aura i belive. so we need to see what comes up.

DGoH: Maybe this...from Salvation...(in GP)

Wurmweaver Coil
4GG
Enchantment - Aura ®
Enchant green creature
Enchanted creature gets +6/+6.
{G}{G}{G}, Sacrifice Wurmweaver Coil: Put a 6/6 green Wurm creature token into play.

oh yea, i know that they are making them, but in ravnica there werent any green or black, so GP - Dissension we might see something kool coming out of thouse colors. :D

thats not a bad aura either. I hope the text doesnt stay the same though. cuse that really restricts its uses considering the last aura's werent color specific.

All I would say here is, after the preview of Ghost Council of Orzhova...I would say...

Orzhov should be better than most people think.

Still...there's a need for White-token generator...REALLY bad! (token is not Orzhov thing...which is BAD!)
