Beat that Boss

For most Magic: The Gathering releases, I publish some form of content evaluating individual cards for limited, constructed or both. For Hour of Devastation, I released a Prerelease Primer and a Draft Pick Order list and, while I think I was correct about most of my choices, there were enough cards that I wildly misjudged to spur me to write this article. With a number of MTGO drafts along with a handful of Sealed pools and prereleases under my belt, here are some of the cards that I overvalued or undervalued in my initial assessment. 1. Pride Sovereign - Overvalued When I saw this card, I was immediately impressed. Makes two 1/1 lifelink cats every other turn? Damn, that's spicy! Well, I played it and when it survived for more than a turn or two, it was great but honestly, it dies to literally every single piece of removal.

Aether Revolt Brings Synergy to B.R.E.A.D. Whether you're heading to the midnight prerelease or waiting until the weekend, you'll be building a sealed deck to battle against opponents. Before you head out, make sure you have some essentials: a bottled drink , sleeves for your deck , extra lands , a playmat , some dice , and a pad to write down life totals . The limited format of sealed requires you to construct a deck out of six random booster packs, thus making it the format where luck plays the biggest role. However, you can maximize your chances at winning your prerelease by making the best deck you possibly can out of the cards that you open. To begin, let's discuss B.R.E.A.D., an acronym that represents a reliable order of cards to make a great limited deck. In order, these go bombs, removal, evasion, aggressive, and dregs. Generally, you can use this simple acronym to succeed in limited up to a certain point. However, with the release of Aether Revolt, this...
