| | So does WRG ever lose? | apparently that is the way to go. But, is it the way to go because everyone else is fighting over the other shards? Man we need a pick by pick of some drafts to see what is going on. Oh, and I guess having a Sarkhan doesnt hurt does it Tony!

| The guy who opens Sarkhan Vol always seems to win the tournament. I guess there is one format he is actually good in.

| Yep the two games I lost to Tony were both because of Vol, he really is that good especially when I didn't crack a single O-Ring:( But I think that WRG just has the best creature base of all the shards and still has solid removal spells to back them up. Solid Blue in this set is just bad but Agony Warp and other black removal spells like Executioners capsule are good but black does't quite have the great creatures like green for draft and sealed purposes.

| Besides Saturday, which I ran a 4 color deck, I've ran all 5 colors in my limited shard decks. I think red is the weakest color in Shards. White is probably the best. It seems a lot of good cards need white in them. I usually pick the best cards and try to force the colors.
Sarkhan Vol never hurts. I saw him and decided I'd just base the deck around him. As the title of my deck suggests, I was that "asshole" with Sarkhan.

| As far as shards limited goes, naya and jund seem like the best shards to draft. Sealed is pretty much like any other set = Play to your pool. Esper has decent removal, but the best esper creatures cant be counted on to show up in a limited pool. |
