This week's question: What are you top 5 Dark Ascension cards?
Prize for responding this week (with your mtgo username in the comment):
Whatcha’ been playin’:
AJ: Tribal Apocalypse invitational, eventually won by Aynam1 over NemesisParadigm via clock management. Keya: Modern Constructed and Masques Block Limited. Sebastian: Time to qualify for the MOCS....
so my choices WERE going to reflect that, until I delved deeper into the list. There are some pretty cool flavor cards here as well.
For flavor:
Chosen of Markov / Markov's Servant
Soul Seizer / Ghastly Haunting (especially the art!)
Zombie Apocalypse
Chalice of Life / Chalice of Death
Elbrus, the Binding Blade / Withengar Unbound (the idea of a demon bound into a blade is freaking awesome)
for commander:
Beguiler of Wills (my Animar deck will be stealing commanders :-D)
Sudden Disappearance (a combo end-game for all white decks)
Fiend Of the Shadows (semi-Praetor's Grasp on a stick)
Predator Ooze (I love me my indestructible creatures :-D)
Sorin, Lord of Innistrad (really really makes me wanna play with a new commander)
And while talking about the spoilers, talk about the strongest Morbid bonus on Tragic Slip - -1/-1 ... oh, wait, creature died, -13/13! There's almost nothing that it can hit that it can't kill at that point.
Thalia, Guardian of Thraben (White Weenie booster.)
Call to the Kindred (Something about the junk rare lover in me wants to break this card so bad.)
Curse of Misfortunes (Again, junk rare lover speaking. This just seems like such an easy way to cripple your opponent.)
Moonveil Dragon (I doubt this will be a junk rare, but I love it all the same.)
Feed the Pack (Parallel Lives + Undying + This = Budget rare paradise.)
I am a drafting fan so my picks will be what I would like to draft with.
p1p1 1. Sorin-he is the guy to have
p1p2 2. skirsdag flayer
p2p1 3. ravenous demon
p3p1 4. increasing devotion
p3p2 5. tragic slip-this is my favorite card printed in the set
That would give me a decent form of synergy I suppose. I hope I can get this list in a 64 player thing,
see you all in the limited room!
