Im not a fan of Kiss in this format. It's so early game and bomby that it (Kiss) acts as a fog for a turn and nets you a card. It's just not amazing. It's playable, not going say it's trash, but it's meh. I've cut it several times in Esper style builds because it's too slow, and Esper needs it drops every turn to keep up with other decks. Bant decks on t6 either go play play or keep a trick up, they'd...

@FlyingSorceror Thanks, and when I looked back at pack 1, I realized that the Waveskimmer is the wrong choice. I am still up in the air about Druid of the Anima vs. Mosstodon, but I think we can pull more fatties as we move forward in the common slot. I just worry that we are also removal light, and so we get into a situation where we have to pick between a dumb fatty and a quality removal spell. I would take the removal, but that definitely...

Looks as if it will be Druid. Like I said, I don't like relying on 1-toughness guys and think we need more fat, but Druid is at least a good fixer. Destroyer, when you pick 9-15, I'd like to put in a vote for picking Mosstodon or Cavern Thoctar highly (for example, higher than another Elvish Visionary or Druid, Firestoker, or even a 3rd Crasher.) If we get them now we don't have to spend early pack 3 picks on them. In a weak...

I agree with you on one thing... the druid seems like the fit here, as it's excel and mana fixing for the deck, secondly though, I have to COMPLETELY disagree on vetoing the kiss of the amesha, as that card...

One problem with this draft is that format (AAA) is a particularly poor fit for our forum draft format. It requires early flexibility and then decisive moves with a specific plan in mind. When voters have several specific plans in mind we end up with a deck like we have now - with no focus. Not the fault of anyone in particular, but something that we should keep in mind when evaluating this "deck" in the end.

welcome to the first tcgplayer.com shards of alara forum draft! i encourage you all to discuss before you vote! please keep in mind that we will assume re-draft of rares after the tournament, so there's no point in just rare-drafting (not that there will always be one). the point is to make the best deck. this poll will close on friday! picks 9-15 will be up next monday since it is thanksgiving and i’m not doing much of...

We don't need the druid. Didn't any of you look at Falkor's list?? We barely have anything over 4cc, why do we need accel? This should be a windmill slam for the Aven, it's perfect. It's the fat we need, plus exalted AND evasion, and is a great finisher on its own. Stop piddling around with these dinky 1/1s. This pick should be between the aven and the elephant.

One thing AAA taught me: Don't make opposing Branching Bolts unnecessarily stronger. If you want a beater over the Druid, that's fine, but pick the Mosstodon already. With 2x Rip-Clan Crasher and Naya Charm, it's not like we're not going to play Naya. We will probably splash for Stoic Angel and Kiss of the Amesha, but that's it. Red we need much earlier, which is why I voted (and root) for Druid of the Anima. We have a...

that was terrible.magma spray first pick? i would have gone with the titan or paladin. or maybe jund charm but not magma spray.

Hmm... Titan is usually just a Craw Wurm that will occasionally regrow itself if you are playing the right deck. Good but not first pick quality. Paladin is very good, but I've been disappointed by heavy white decks, where the Paladin is optimal. A soild creature to be sure, but not a slam dunk pick. Jund Charm isn't in the pack. Magma Spray is cheap removal in the best color in the format. Keeps you open for two of the best shards...
