Hello Rhythmik,

nice article. Do you see any trends in the metagame regarding those 3 archetypes? Which one do you think is currently most popular?
I haven’t played constructed for a while but might try a few matches to get a “feel” for the format.

The most popular deck in the format by far seems to be Vampires, mostly because the deck only costs about 20 tix to build if you don’t want to add fetchlands, not to mention the whole appeal to Timmies. Many decks in the format have card that used to be in the sideboard, like Spreading Seas, Spell Pierce, and Mind Sludge into the main just because of the prevelance of each deck’s foil in the metagame.

Well, is looking like Hexmage is only going to get that much better with the new set.

Hm. What’s going on in WWK, aside from maybe seeing more walkers played?

Removes Warcaller counters.

Multi-kicker, bro! Not gonna be a fun one! That Joraga warcaller is insanity! Quit making elves and gobbos, WoTC! Enough. Do Kavu or some crap!

I’d love to see Kavu return, and I did think about the Warcaller thing after I looked back at the spoilers. I’m looking to see if we’re going to get any reliable ways to put +1/+1 counters on creatures, since I do like combo, sometimes (:
