]: 7.5/10, I’d say a bit under Thirst, but the more Escape you have the better. ]: 8/10, my pick for best non-mox common, you can see it as a super loot effect, but it’s a format with lots of enchantments, so I’ll start here and maybe go down a bit on the grade. ]: 6.5/10, same category, at least the body is more decent. Maybe overrating this, because the body is close to irrelevant, but I’ll try! ]: 5.5/10, OK so I reeaaaally love looting in high power format, it’s very close to draw a card after turn 3, because extra lands are how you easily you might flood. Callaphe’s static is quite incredible in a very mana light format, and can easily be a decent size to attack or trade with almost anything.

: 5.5/10, So in traps I said not to play CCM3 creatures, and don’t play UU cards if they are not broken. ]: 5.5/10, so there is a possibility to go wide and to have access to some cards the bots won’t take, again in the idea to tend towards mono W. ]: 6.5/10, which is a good grade for a creature, because the effect even though costly is efficient, and might encourage you to go mono white or close to that. Table again, and my picks for interesting or controversial cards to talk about briefly, from White to multicolored and artifact: Removals that don’t kill large creatures.īefore going into controversial cards, remember you will win game mostly by attacking with creatures, but unlike Omniscience, you won’t snowball a board of 15 creatures against 2, so you need beef, you need evasion. Creatures that have an activated ability costing 4+ mana, that without that ability are not worth playing are also very bad. Creatures with CCM 3 or less will almost all be bad. Cards that cost WW, UU… or even you ] with your WWUU mana cost, get out of here! Those card will need to be extra strong to be worth playing, it’s a format where two mana should mean two spells. Card advantage is good, but it’s not a “divination is the best common” format like omniscience, because it’s still a cost in your mana.

Tap lands are quite bad, and colorless lands are basically umplayable, so you want mostly basics. Most of you deck MUST cost single color mana, even though more often than not a 4UR card will be more powerful than a 5U card, it’s double mana. You can probably get away with fewer lands the more Altars you get, but you don’t want to cut 1 for 1, so maybe 12 lands 3 Altars, 14 lands 1 Altar things like that. You need around 12-14 lands, and that might seems like a lot but you want lands one to three, after that you want cards that might loot away the extra lands or expensive abilities from your cards. You need a manabase to be able to cast your spells, so a 5-color Omniscience pile is out of the question (Alright if you get Altar flooded go ahead, go nuts !), so most likely you want to be 2 color deck with possibly one or two light splashes. Here’s the change of paradigm, turn 1 you can possibly cast several spells of some very powerful two colored spells.Įscape is an important mechanic in TBD, and it’s interesting here because it’s a cast the spell ability, so you will benefit of the emblem. So you expect to cast a spell on turn 1, two spells on turn 2 etc at best. Why is that? How come? Well it’s a 5 color Mox, in a format where most of your spells will cost 1 mana. So basically all artifacts with CCM (or mana value if you want to be a zoomer) are free, and that includes the best card in the set, which might come as a surprise if you don’t have played this format before: ]

However spells cost 5 generic less to cast rather than being free due to the emblem. The idea ofthe format is to have a more balanced Omniscience format, where this time you need mana sources to actually cast spells. The format in normal draft was one of the grindiest of the last few years, with escape being extra resources you will often win or lose by decking.īut this time, different ball game, obviously it can be grindy but the speed overall is nothing comparable, so what are the new rules of the game? You need a minimum 40-card deck at the end. You draft Theros Beyond Death with bots, like a classic b01 quick draft.

I played a lot of the previous Turbo Draft Ikoria, with some really high WR (about 75-80%), and I’ve been addicted to this kind of format like Omniscience (writing articles on the thing a couple of time those last occurrences that you can find on reddit and MTGA Zone) I'm a limited player at heart English is not my mother tongue so sorry in advance if some sentences don't make much sense. Searchable table of the card ranking, “pick order”: Hello everyone, starting this weekend and for a few days before the new standard set there will be the second edition of Turbo Draft on Arena!
