We are going to open this box in pools of 6 boosters, then build a 40 card deck for each pool. I'm terrible at sealed, and really not that good at magic in general. Any input, critiques, or discussion is always welcomed!
Other than the big name cards, I'm pretty unfamiliar with this set, and will be reading every card. When I'm done, these cards will be used for jank EDH decks.
Luke Long
Messy.
Jaxon Green
That's better.
Draft directions from Wizards.
Josiah Green
Dont do it op. I opened a mythic, foil mythic pack that still wasnt worth the pack.
Fucking foil worldgorger dragon.
Cooper Green
Booster packs.
Evan Thompson
Yes, variation is huge in the eternal reprint sets!
If nothing else, its got some nice EDH playables.
Easton Sanchez
Back of the packs.
Joshua Young
One of the packs has this line at the top.
Oliver Morris
There are a few in the box that have it. All with the same artwork.
Maybe this means they are all from some sort of sequential print order?
Ayden Long
So we will select all 4 'lined' packs we have for our first sealed pool. Plus the first two packs from the left row.
Caleb Hughes
Pack one. Foil is bottom left. To the immediate right is the rare. And then uncommons and commons grouped together.
Some pretty good green cards in this pack! Strongest color so far.
James Nelson
Foiling.
Jackson Edwards
>sylvan library Nice, looks like you need a green edh deck
Tyler Wright
>Firebolt im so sorry
Joshua Scott
Pack two.
Green still looking good. Even got some green ramp if I go green black.
The scepter sounds fun as shit to play with!
Elijah Lee
I opened one pack as a joke and all I got was Diminishing Returns. Traded it to a blue player for a sylvan advocate so meh.
Dominic Hernandez
Foiling.
Aaron Martin
I got a jace, sneak attack,vampiric tutor, and enlightened tutor among others from my box
Elijah Sanders
bump
Tyler James
Nice to know I lost.
Josiah Morales
Build G/R
Joshua Howard
Why the fuck are there token cards in booster packs? - never have held a real magic card in his hand
Kevin Fisher
Pack 3, mythic! Don't have that card, I'll take it.
If I understand it correctly, you basically can draw as many cards as life you are willing to pay?
Nicholas Brooks
So you can have tokens for the card generating tokens in the set
David Gutierrez
Foiling.
If I pull 4 of these, I'd be dumb enough to try to put 4 1-1s into my deck.
Luke Perry
While at it, tell me more about expansions. I have played Magic Duels, and I noticed that OP has some cards from the game like Gravedigger. So what's the point of the same card being in different expansions?
Bentley Gomez
It's a bit more complicated than that but you're right
It's also one of the best black card ever
Brandon James
>Necropotence nice
Hudson Howard
There is different format in Magic and they allow different sets For example, Modern allow only sets with the modern border (since Mirrodin) but Standard only allow the last 4 sets or so So having a card in different expansion allows it to be playable in different formats
Also, it helps adding new cars to the market. Some of the cards in Eternal Masters weren't printed since forever and are in need of new version
Isaiah Rivera
So cards pre-Mirrodin are pretty much worthless? Because the most popular formats are Modern and Standard.
Leo Hall
>So cards pre-Mirrodin are pretty much worthless? That's not true at all Some of the most broken cards in existence come from that time Also, they are only a limited number of them, since they were printed a long time ago Vintage and Legacy are the format that uses them and they cost more to get into than Modern and Standard
Levi Bailey
First pick library for draw?
Carter Hughes
Pack 4. Well, I think I'd want to run mystical tutor in about every blue EDH deck.
Chain Lightning plus scepter seems pretty close to the dream for sealed! And a Kird Ape? I'm liking GR!
Xantid Swarm seems pretty disruptive if you get him out early!
William Collins
chains a sorcery m8 cant be isochroned sadly. Looks real good honestly
Andrew Diaz
Foiling.
Aiden Brooks
Ah balls. So close to being bonkers!
Caleb Price
that pack had all nice uncommons
Jace Wood
Pack 6, last pack of the sealed pool.
Yep, want to play Charbelcher. Do you have to pick a target before you flip cards?
Kevin Sullivan
Very nice foiling!
Austin Mitchell
Brb, building a sealed pool. Probably RG!
Anthony Edwards
>Do you have to pick a target before you flip cards? No, read the card again.
Kevin James
No, open more packs.
Lincoln Miller
Well, I think this is going to turn out a bit wonky, and less creatures than I would like, but this is what I'd play!
Jack Green
Red.
Xavier Richardson
Colorless/multi.
Then just go straight for the face with everything I've got. Think this deck would be any good?
Alright, going to take a break and do a hearthstone arena run. I'll be back and will make another sealed pool in this thread afterwards. I don't want to just blow through and open all the fun right at once!
Xavier Reed
And a rollup of the deck.
Be back a bit later!
Carter Brooks
Foil Worldgorger is $15 ya fuckin clod
Justin Lopez
Looks kinda shit honestly, you chose combat trick pumps over access to aura pumps, and your bloodbraid is kinda boring. You had a reasonable amount of elf love that you've completely ignored, and honden of life's web is game winning.
Juan Howard
Looks like a deck that'd be really fun to play.
Liam Allen
Yes, but who would buy one? It's objectively the worst card to put in the mythic slot. If it gets pacifism'd you lost.
Lincoln Roberts
SCG is buying for 8$ I'm sure you have 2$ worth of other cards in the pack, stop being a whiny little bitch and go be something.
Dominic Hughes
Well thats fucking odd. I did not notice mtg familiar was giving me the nonfoil price. Are there literally no eternal masters foil worldgorgers on tcg?
Animate Dead. Everything goes in and out of play as many times as you want.
Chase Brooks
Maybe have omnath rage guy and a bunch of lands out when you cast him, then use life's legacy to sac him and draw 7 cards and have a dozen 5/5 haste elementals.
Matthew Evans
>If it gets pacifism'd you lost.
You're not supposed to use it as a creature, doofus. Worldgorger Dragon is an infinite mana combo with Animate Dead or a similar reanimation card.
That said, it's not a very strong combo anymore. It was banned for a while, but after it got unbanned, nobody played it.
Alexander Allen
Yea, actually you do. Any time a spell or ability has the word target, targets are declared as part of putting that spell out ability on the stack. So you announce activating, choose target, and wen it resolves you start flipping
Isaiah Powell
This pool screams blue green to me. Isochron scepter plus counterspell is the strongest thing you can do in this format. Play all the green elves, invigorate and all the good blue creatures. You also have lands to splash a little black if you want to splash tragic slip, cabal therapy or innocent blood.
Leo Ross
Damn you're right, I was going to yell at you but I just checked oracle text and they have a ruling ten days ago that you're right.
Sebastian Bennett
>not playing BG elves splashing blue for card draw nigga you hella dumb.
1 Brawn 1 Ingester 1 Spider 2 Elvish Vanguard 1 Thornweald Archer 2 Huntmaster 1 Looter 1 man o war 2 Centaur 1 Skaab 1 Trigon predator
1 Sylvan lib 1 Mask 1 Honden 1 Isochron
1 Sylvan Might 1 Deep Analysis 1 Invigorate 1 Counterspell 1 Memory Lapse
is 23. you also have natures claim or splash black or red as options.
David King
My issue with stick is there are so few good targets for it. (obv counterspell and memory lapse are great, but mystical tutor is the only other target in blue, and there are very few good targets in other colors - tragic slip's probably the best of them) If we had a 3rd counterspell, a second tragic slip, or a fog then I could really justify it. As is, not so great in this pool. Also when you have 3 gainlands that complete a wedge/shard, you need a VERY compelling reason to not play those colors.
Jayden Bell
Fucking newfags, I swear
Owen Young
Back with sealed pool number 2.
Maybe you guys will like my deck better this time!
Christopher Brown
Ooh play the Burning Vengeance deck it is SO GOOD
John Wright
Animate dead targeting it gives you infinite mana. If there are no other targets for animate dead to break to the loop with the game auto-draws.
Jacob Torres
Calling foil pyrokinesis (or whatever that red FoW is).
Benjamin Butler
Op, Burning Vengeance lines up with your Firebolts and Flashback Overrun card so hard.
Jacob Davis
HOLY PACK BATMAN!
Jeremiah Martin
Dayum. Show me dat elephant.
Zachary Reed
All of pack one.
Now I want to play blue, just to play FoW.
Mason Cook
Elephant as requested.
Dominic Myers
Oooooo!
Parker Powell
Very cool foil!
Adrian Stewart
...
Mason Price
Also a $30 foil.
Wyatt Ramirez
Pack 2.
A commander!
Jayden Mitchell
Super nice foil!
Jaxon Allen
...
Sebastian Cooper
Pack three.
Don't have an Orb!
Jack Perez
Wait. EVERY pack has a foil?
Caleb Ward
Foiling.
Angel Reyes
Yep!
James Butler
Yes
Same for modern mastes
Ryan Bell
While opening pack four, almost got a miscut!
I wonder how bad of a centering score I could get if I get this graded?
Jason Mitchell
Pack four. Mythic!
I dunno, balance seems okay?
Adrian Walker
Neat foil!
Nicholas Mitchell
Pack five.
Everyone likes a hole!
Lucas Morgan
Foiling.
Hard to get a good picture of this one.
Benjamin Nguyen
And pack six. Final pack of the pool!
Haven't a clue what to play. Gonna start by looking at black and blue. I feel like those were fairly strong colors.
