I suppose I'll be using artifacts here. What looks strong here? I like the double shatter. I'm gonna have a hard time not playing red.
I'll show you my deck in a future post.
With 40% of the cards in the set being artifacts, yes, artifacts are a good choice. RedDeckWins is now RedDeckKills due to artifact pump and mana ramp options including metalcraft and IronMyr. Can't wait to see!
ReplyDeleteJust so you know... Over a year ago, I switched from one expensive hobby to another, abandoning Magic for 40K. Thanks to this post (and the set previews that I would have ignored if not for this post), I'm tempted to try to squeeze both into my budget.
ReplyDeleteI'm blaming you for my future bankruptcy. :-)
Haha. It's always kinda surprised me that more Magic players didn't play 40k and vice-versa. There are similar elements between them.
