Thanks. A great bunch of limited cards but the spoiler is getting very close to finished. I especially like all color scarecrow, it enables plenty of cards and nasty with the demigod aura cycle.

Limited pools are going to be very interesting - cracking this pack gives you a whopping 11 possible cards to play in G/R or R/W.

I can't wait for the prerelease.

Thanks for the info!

A scarecrow that enables other scarecrow's color dependent abilities... nice...

*Snort*...Firefox Oak...


Wow.. that giant art is really impressive!!

Howl of Night Pack would be nice if it didn't cost so dang much, even 1-2 cc less might be more playable.

The scarecrow is good

I honestly might pick the Howl over either of them. Such a freaking bomb. Normally turning excess cards into burn late game is amazing, but when lands burn for 0 it isn't that hot (pun).

For a while, I hoped that it is the real name...unfortunately, we got just a Foxfire Oak...

Scrapbasket...well, there's a subtle scarecrow tribal theme creeping around... . Not to say anything about Prismatic Omen, Scrapbasket + Coalition Victory .

The Duos...well, like the Thistledown one, the art does not appeal to me much.

Thanks!

Thanx BCX.

3 new cards.

Scrapbasket- 4 for a 3/2 is okay and it's color ability works well with the set themes.

Woeleecher- 5w for a 3/5 is mediocre but the remove a counter for 2 life ability is really nice with persist cards, limited solid.

Firefox Oak- 6 for a 3/6 is okay for limited and it effectively has firebreathing which has to be activated 3 times whenever you use it. Solid limited high end.

For draft... You'd be tempted to go knollspine, but that leaves two solid red cards in the pack so the guy to your left is gonna take one. (puncture bolt or ram-gang)

the safehold duo does leave the ram-gang in the pack, and leans you towards green white (which should be disgusting solid in this format).


If this was pack one I might actually be tempted to take the scarecrow and see where it went from there, and try to stay out of the mess that's about to happen stage left over red/green.

2/2 flying persist creatures seem good.

but the 'right' call may be knollspine if you're already in red (packs 2 or 3) and either Duo or Ram-Gang for first pack/pick.

my thoughts anyways.
