Dementuo Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I'm going. Not sure on favorites, but the new Phyrexian Mana is going to change the game like Stardust changed Yugioh. Hopefully, I'll be able to pawn off enough to get a Jace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnpsy Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Needs the MtG tag. In any case, I'm not going to the prerelease, but I like Myr Superion and its abusability. Imagine choosing Myr Superion for Prototype Portal. You just keep on putting 5/6 vanilla tokens for 2 into play without restrictions every turn... Gitaxian Proble also looks nice.

[/quote] Phyrexian mana is really appealing to me. Since I love how artifacts give mono-colored decks more effects to play with I like how the Phyrexian mana does so in an even better way.

[/quote] That it does. I added it And wow, I'm a little sad I never thought of that. Starts thinking of deck to build around that..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnpsy Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I only thought of it because I happened to draw them together when testing [url="http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75842/27535945/U_Infinite_Mana_Myr"]my Myr build[/url]. It's not exactly something most people think of easily. In any case, the Phyrexian mana looks somewhat underwhelming on a lot of stuff, everything but a few gems. Maybe in combination with something that prevents you from losing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I like turn 1 [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=217984&type=card]Vault Skirge[/url], turn 2 [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=218043&type=card]Porcelain Legionnaire[/url], turn 3 [url=http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=194391&type=card]Tempered Steel[/url]. You not only get a 3/3 flying lifelink and 5/3 First Strike, but gain back all the life you lost in the set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, Vault Skirge was one of the gems I mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Nu-13 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I would go to prerelease, but I can't afford the fee :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niv-Mizzet Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 If there is any way to cheat Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur into play before turn 4, I will find it. And I can't go to the prerelease ;_;, the money I have is going into my Jin-Gitaxias fund for five copies, four for a deck and one for my Memnarch EDH.
