going through the first lists of EVE, I realized how valuable "Endless Horizons" is going to be with all these retrace spells requiring you to discard a land card to play them. Same thing with a simple Razormane Masticore or the new "Oona's Grace" (2B - instant - Draw a card - Retrace).

I don't remember where I read it but it has been reconfirmed by WotC that you'll get twice as many rares printed as you get Mythic Rares. Meaning that in one box you should get out of 36 boosters: -24 Rares -12 Mythical Rares
So yeah it's mythical but not that much. It's going to be a problem getting 4 of each though.

so, how was that for Forum baiting... nice one! Btw there is a lot of junk in the articles you can see online. The so-called sideboard tech outlined in the article above is an example of what most people do: detailing their strategy but never actually criticizing objectively. Out of 8 match-ups he sides Slaughter Pact 6 times. Threaten is used in 50% of the matches (4 out of 8) but only 1 in SB? 1 Loxodon Warhammer and 1 Furystoke Giant in SB but what for?

Extended will be more interesting for a lot of people, especialy since it's Invasion onwards

Endless Horizons! Play mono-white kithkin and remove all plains from your deck on turn 4 or turn 5? Then keep putting down kithkins for the 25 turns remaining?

meh just go:
4x painter's servant 4x grindstone 4x pyroblast 4x red elemental blast and anything else you want around it, it can be blue control or black discard (thoughtseize, duress) or some kind of prison (9x sphere enabling you to slow down everything).
and how you win: put a painter down, calling blue you can now counter any spell or destroy any permanent for one red mana. put a grindstone and activate its ability. There you go, his whole library is in the gy ... and everything costed you a mere 6 mana.

why not transform ton8 into a deckbuilding/testing/beer night instead of the usual FNM? Of course we'd know more or less what the others would be playing Sat. but it'd make it more interesting as well.

I got us this for the Winner and Runner-up: I'll have the engraving done if I find the place (feel free to participate in the cost - not much btw) The image link is broken for me... i'll help with the extravagant costs though edit: If it's a glass trophy then i'm happy to donate my foil "Super Secret Tech" to glue to the trophy to make it look Magical.

The idea is more intended for 2 or 3 people to get together and test for a couple hours. For instance...I have 3 deck that I want to play on Regional weekend, but I want to test them...basically it will not replace Thursday/Saturday it will be for those of us that would like more testing/playing time. Good for casual homebrew decks that you always want to play but dont want to take a chance on when there is money on the line. For someone like me not playing online I really miss that. It's then a mental gymnastics to find out whether i can play a deck or not and what the chances are. Simply put: I also need to test before Saturday

My office is near Dubai Marina so not much of a problem to drop by for a couple hours. I can't have 3 days of Mtg a week though, so it's either that+saturday or thrusday+saturday.
