I have a feeling shocklands are going to be back. I won't welcome to choice to put them in 11th because they take a lot of $$$ out of pocket. Only had two total when they were standard legal :/
That's one of the few good black cards in this set, most of them are just disappointing. Artifact themes (esper) are the strongest from the spoiled cards so far. Like that artifact that destroys everything besides artifacts and lands.. bs lol.
ok i know this isnt the best list, but hopefully u guys can help, i OBVIOSLY need more artifacts, but i dont know which ones to put in, they are here because of salvage titan, trying to go for turn 1-2 6/4.
BTW THIS IS FOR AFTER THE ROTATION! poor mutilate....
dark confidant: he lets you draw 2 a turn, hopefully mana, and he will die when u infest and damnation. so u wont bleed that much.
korlash: he is a big boy.
salvage titan: potentially a turn 1-2 6/4.
tombstalker: remove 6 cards in graveyard for a 2cc 5/5 flyer... sounds good to me
damnation: wipes the board
infest: wipes the board, BUT i just made this, and im sure there is a better replacement.
tendrils of corruption: kills creature and gives me life lost from confidant
thoughtseize: kill a potential threat turn 1.
executionars capsule: ok this card is reallllly good honestly. anyone else think better than terror? and sac outlet for the titan.
tormod's crypt: good against dredge, i know "why did u mainboard this" 0 cc artifact i can pop it to the titan
bloodstained mire: thins deck
vault of whispers: sac for the titan
swamp: ...
i just tested it, BOB killed me. i need help, and i think im gonna make this deck standard. i vsed Rock and i lost 0-2 and i vsed affinity, and well no **** sherlock i lost. i think it will do better in a T2 format.

So anyways, since about 70% of Alara has been spoiled so far, what do you guys think of it.
Me, I am honestly diappointed. It seems there is a lack of playable cards. Either that, or my style of play makes me see that. Either way, I don't like it.
Overall, it seems like they are pushing tri color too musch. that specter guy comes to mind. Something like that could just be mono black, but they had to make it UBR. Devour, Exalted, seem meh to me as well.
hung out with my buds all weekend long. hammered an old affinity deck (preban) with mono-black rogues, then MBC. the guy was so disappointed... he was playing with hanna and mycosynth grid. ouch.

well that sucks that we missed the contest. well alara seems pretty good so far. i agree there pushing the tri colored to far. lands are alreay going up in price >( tri colored is ruining the game.
Well, honestly, I hated Shadowmoor for pushing Hybrid too far, so I'm very happy with "real" multicolored. Along with colored artifacts, I like the settings of Grixis and Esper.
Woot for getting my first points on this site (infraction). Anyways, I like Shards except for the fact most of the black cards aren't constructed playable. I love the reprint of o-ring, which will keep my b/w control deck alive for awhile. I'm glad I have four Reflecting Pool because those things will be at least $15 after shards comes out.
im also glad, i have 1 foil reflecting pool and 1 regular. and ya its not THAT GREAT for Mono black,. and did anyone see that build i put on the bottom of page 51?

Yea, I saw it. Maybe some non-basic lands (leechridden swamp is good, though it was a lot better when Korlash was around). I don't like Graveborn Muse much either, especially with the loss of tendrils, too bad there isn't any really good card draw in black. Dusk Urchins would've been good if he was a zombie, recurring him over and over again
Honestly, I guess the reason this set looks bad for me is because there aren't any real "Gems" like there have been in the past to get my attention. The cards area ll just average.
Another reason I say I dont like Alara right now is because of design. I just think they could be designing tri-color much better than they are. That and they are still pushing the three colors too much. Some of cards you look at and can see two colors, but the third is a huge stretch to find in the card.

I SAY WE GO.
where are you svogthir.
I am equally dissapointed. Spam infraction issued. r~
Me, I am honestly diappointed. It seems there is a lack of playable cards. Either that, or my style of play makes me see that. Either way, I don't like it.
And honestly, what possessed them to bring so many reprints: Oblivion Ring, Cancel (has anyone seen the new art for it. Tis AMAZING), Naturalize, Goblin Mountaineer. Eh, we'll see.
Overall, it seems like they are pushing tri color too musch. that specter guy comes to mind. Something like that could just be mono black, but they had to make it UBR. Devour, Exalted, seem meh to me as well.
