I see a red deck and I want to paint it black

God, could you imagine if Necropotence had been triple red instead?
Tier 1 burn...tier 1 burn everywhere

Red doesn't have Dark Ritual to drop a T1 Necro, though.

Well, you could get [[Simian Spirit Guide]] and [[Desperate Ritual]].

Can it be white so I get better draw effects in mono white EDH?
1
I wish I had that much no idea what I was doing when I draft these days. :) (great draft)

Are you the guy I beg for a Mac version?
18
No, he's the man you curse when you draw 7 lands in a row.
30
Worth plz
11
He's the guy you blame for anything and everything on MOL lol
1
Seven? Hahaha foolish mortal, seven lands is nothing for the almighty Worth. He can make you draw all 17 lands in a row, and put them all on the top of your library under exactly 2 spells.
1
Don't curse at the painter if you don't understand the art form.
1
Is he the guy I beg to fix the fact that modo freezes regularly and crashes sometimes, despite the fact that i have a very high end machine?

Quick question: is Magister of Worth some kind of reference to one of your past teachers? :3

Thanks. It didn't feel that way when I realized half way that there was really no way to splash any other color.
1
Mmm...Carnophage.
18
Back in the day we called him Buck Tooth Willy.
3
The ol' taking damage every turn archetype. Always a pleasure.
11
Just needs a Death's Shadow or 4.
3
it was called Suicide Black back in the day for a reason. It was a terrifying deck in mirage/tempest standard.
2
Deck is quite good. You probably win the draft pretty easily.
8
Hell, he could probably take on a lot of constructed decks. I'm looking at you, necropotence.

Does everyone get full art lands to use in VMA events or something? Every VMA event I see has only full art lands.
7
They do, when you do the give me lands thing for limited events MODO gives you full arts
11
only if that set does not have lands normally.
13
Much suicide

BLACK TILL DEATH!
1
The 5 carnophages is what gets me. . .that's just terrifying. . . just picture opening a hand with three of them and at least two swamps. . .
3
ya did good kid.

Killyourself.dec

You don't even have a single Dark Ritual? tsk tsk
2
Seems pretty good! You could have probably gotten a few more tyrants choices, they seem to be very easy to pick up in multiples and make for a nice mono-black version of fireblast
2
I've been pondering doing a VM draft for a few days now, and I'm just convinced that my drafting skills aren't good enough. It's an expensive experiment. Good experiences all around or do you think I'd get rofl-stomped? Do we know how long it'll be readily available on mtgo?
2
7 creatures that ping me...better run necropotence =)
2
Only time I got Necropotece I steam rolled him, but yeah "much suicide".

What is this?
1
A vintage masters draft deck displayed on the new version of magic online.
5
I had not had a functional computer for a while. Since just before Journey to Nyx came out.
Just got a new one. decided to just jump into drafts without even looking at the set list for some godforsaken reason.
Managed to win the first two drafts I did outright. No clue what I'm doing. I went mono black in the last one with leeches and the black legendary king guy and garys. SO sick.
1
One thing to note is you may come to the awkward situation of Death's Head Buzzard killing your Dauthi Mercs. I drafted a similar deck but cut the Buzzards as they seemed to risky. I ended up losing to a really good goblins deck as they just have too much CA.
1
If this deck had a dark ritual or 2 it'd be bonkers.
1
Turn one: "Dark Rit into triple Carnophage, pass".
1
I have traumatizing memories of that being done to me in standard. I played White Weenie and had 8 pro-black creatures maindeck (white knight, paladin en-vec)
It was still a bad matchup.
2
Do you get to keep the cards you pull?
1
Yes.
1
It seems like you actually do know what you're doing haha
Lost to a guy who had shadow creatures, tappers and token generators. Dude had an answer to everything.
I'll admit thou that I did better than expected.
I've been playing for about 2.5 years and know only 2 cards by name in this photo. How rough would it be for me to draft this set tonight?
Edit: Thanks all!
Double Edit: Drafted a Black/White removal deck with Dark Rits to get out early fliers. Have some life gain in there so I can beat away for 2 or 4 every turn safely. Currently 1-0! (Splashed blue so technically Esper)
Ended up 2-1. Dude playing red white cycling/goblins jacked me up. Had him 26-7 in one game, still died. 24 to 11 in another, still died. Once we hit turn 5 or 6 the game was all him.
Was lots of fun though!
Watch final matches for 8-4s and look at spoilers for commons. You should be fine if you have drafted other sets with only that.
The set has too much rares, son you can't plan against them, or plan whta to do when you ger them, even with three equal boosters.
a lot of the cards are onslaught and older, but the 'set' itself is brand new, in that these cards have never really existed in the same environment together in these ratios. there was a primer for the commons linked to in the mtg finance sub that you should read, but after that there is only so much you can learn without getting your hands dirty, so to speak
Same as going into any draft blind. Read the cards, every card, and you should be able to gauge the average power level.
i also did my first draft yesterday and picked a mox ruby :) but i played against a guy who had 4 counter and many bounce cards in both games which really fuckd me up my board was empty the whole game
You still have a Mox Ruby, so there is that.
Played quite many of VMA-Drafts by now. Shadow, Tappers and Battle Screech are commons there and really reliable. So, this happens alot. The Predatory Nightstalker is kinda bad in that Matchup, sadly.
Yeah I sided it out for that match. The tappers was by far the biggest problem since I generally only had one big creature or evasion creature at a time. If I could do it again I'd try to make it a little more resilient against that kind of cards.
I think this is another case of someone being disingenuous and showing off their deck
