    So, new set. It's been a while since I've felt hype over and MtG set coming out, but this was an exception, and judging from the rest of the internet I am not alone in that.

    I made a Devious Merciless Jump In! deck. I don't know what Devious means but Merciless is sacrifice:



    I also drafted. Normally I'd wait further into the season to draft but since there's likely an influx of new and inexperienced players to MTGA I thought I'd draft now so as to prey on the weak.

    RW Equipment Aggro

    Ended up 7-2. I think my first opponent did not know they could flip Crystal Fragments. Speaking of which, I got greedy and passed one in favour of another blue Crystal, but apparently I'll get all four of them before long, I could've used those Fragments but I guess that bet did pay off since I reached 7 wins anyways.The Infantries were extremely useful, and fortunately for me nobody else in the table thought about picking them up during the first pack (someone wised up about it afterwards). On the other hand Self-Destruct was useless, I swapped it for more removal.

    UR Non-Creature Spells

    Ended up 0-3. Man, I thought this deck was solid, but I ended up overrun by the landfall decks out there. Oh well, so much for preying on the weak.

    Overall it looks like a really good set, there's lots of flavor hits (although some misses too) and unless turns out there's some runaway archetype I'm not seeing yet (the landfall one?), limited seems balanced.

    lol the infamous sephiroth instant ramen commercial. is the Instant Ramen card a reference to that?

    also lol the mtg thread is leaking

    It's a FFXV thing (if it's not clear which card corresponds to which game, it's written in the bottom left corner). I haven't played it so I can't tell for sure, but from what I've read FFXV has lots of product placement, including some kind of ramen brand that is in one way or another relevant to the game.

    I drafted twice more:

    RW Equipment Aggro

    Ended up 4-3. I threw a game due to forgetting that Sabotender has Reach, perhaps if I had played FFXI I would've remembered that. I've noticed I have much better memory over this set thanks to having played games it's based on.

    BW Sacrifice

    I didn't have high hopes for this deck, but I guess it did get me four wins at least. One defeat (and one victory) was due to mana screw, one due to Atraxa!Sephiroth and one due to Shantotto.

    I took the liberty of putting these decks on Untapped.gg, for some reason it's less annoying than I remembered:
    BW Devious Merciless
    7-2 RW Equipment Aggro
    0-3 UR Non-Creature Spells
    3-3 Equipment Aggro
    4-3 BW Sacrifice

    (I promise I'll let go of this thread once this thing is over.)

    Oh, I see. Would make sense that it's canon in FFXV given that it's one of the most urban-fantasy of the games.
