More than half the cost in gems back, some Mythics and ~$17 (or a bit more) in packs is a decent deal for $20. 14 packs and 1400 gems already essentially pays for itself. I think I'll buy the Mastery Pass after work tomorrow. There would be ~4250k too few XP if it wasn't for the last 5 weeks of special events and I'd hope that they'd give a couple more events to let people catch up if they missed obtaining a few dailies though. If they keep this Mastery set alive through the prerelease weekend. By my math there's just enough time left before Throne of Eldraine hits to rank up to 100. Can't say I didn't feel like a bit of an ass afterward though.ДЄnd with that, Mastery 72. Man, I GGed a guy last week because he should have won on his next turn and then I pulled a block that just barely left me alive. its a good feeling to come back from those. he got me down to one and thought it was over. If Bo1 is supposed to be snappy Magic I think adjusting the countdown/rope would work better for that than adding the game timer back in.ДЄlso managed to win a game after my opponent good gamed me. When making decisions for triggers on the stack give a 5 second abeyance on the countdown to allow them to choose their play and then it's back to counting down.

10 seconds to make a play or see a 5 second countdown, ropes gain you only 10 seconds and if you ever see a rope in a game you're locked out of gaining more bonus timeouts for the rest of the game. Even the slowest games I've played in Bo1 rarely go 10 minutes. I don't know if the timer would have the effect that you expect it to in Bo1 because you don't have to worry about managing clock across games. But as everyone knows, a certain amount of the player base always needs to make it tedious because they have to pretend to run infinite calculations in their brain just to figure out which land to play on turn 2, as if it's not 95% scripted as soon as the game began. Since this is just a short term event I decided to grave-dig instead of rewrite a guide for such an old set.It's WOTC's fault for not teaching people that clock position even matters by eliminating it from Bo1, which is supposed to be the snappy bite-sized version of Magic, anyway. Honestly though I agree with your point, this was my first stab at making Limited content way back in the early days of Arena, and I have changed it up quite a bit since for the reasons you are getting at. I wish I could draft easy 7-0 decks all the time!

If you want to get mad at a deck full of bangers check out my Merfolk deck from last night. I do think these decks showcase a lot of substandard cards finding a good home. And even if you have something like Tetzimoc in your deck, you are only likely to see it in a little over a third of your games. Nearly all Rivals decks are going to include a few great uncommons or your draft went horribly wrong. What made them work so well was common/uncommon synergy and overall deck strategies.

It's easy to dismiss decks that have Tetzimoc, Primal Death or Tendershoot Dryad and say 'well obviously that deck was good, it was packing bombs.' That said, I am not sure these examples are as decked out as you describe.

This is why I got away from using example drafts in my articles after Ixalan.
