Full Force is a weekly draft series built around testing the latest formats and our skills by forcing archetypes. This week, we (try again) take a look at UG Merfolk in Ixalan! No more reveling for us this week. It was interesting to see how this draft supported a lot of what I talked about…
Ixalan is finally here and I’m very excited to sail the seas and fight some dinosaurs! Last week we tried a red/green Dinosaurs draft and this week, thanks to the vote, we’re diving deep into Merfolk! Well… That was interesting. No matter how much I pushed for it, Blue/Green Merfolk was not happening. This was an excellent…
Ixalan is finally here and I’m very excited to sail the seas and fight some dinosaurs! Last week we tried a red/black Pirate draft and this week, thanks to the vote, we’re ready to stomp on some opponents with Dinosaurs! I’ve run through a lot more drafts after last week and the format still feels pretty…
Ixalan is finally here and I’m very excited to sail the seas and fight some dinosaurs! First up, I wanted to try a red/black Pirate draft: We just came off the blazing speed of Amonkhet block, so what better way to start Ixalan than by trying to speed our way through our opponent’s with the…
You may notice something a little different about this week. No more Hour of Devastation! We were lucky enough to get a crack at the Modern Cube yet again and I didn’t let that go to waste. Cube only comes by once in a while, so we want to make sure to maximize how much…
Over the last two weeks we spent time reviewing the faster tempo archetypes of UR Spells and UW Fliers, where we concentrated on killing the opponent quickly. This week, we go a slower route with UB Cycling: There has been a lot of talk about how Hour of Devastation is a much faster format than…
Last week we delved into UR Spells, my current front-runner for best deck of the format. Can the power of UW Embalm and fliers overthrow it? UW is a deck that has stood the test of time, across many formats. Combine cheap fliers, some tempo, and maybe some combat tricks/removal and you have the makings…
Last week we delved into UG ramp, for a slower take on the format, but this week we’re going to speed things up a notch and try to smash through with UR tempo/spells: This may be my current favourite deck in Hour of Devastation. As I stated in last week’s article, it’s my firm belief…
Last week we took a slight detour from the voted on archetypes to try out building a mill deck around Fraying Sanity, but we’re back to our regularly scheduled programming this week, with the Blue-Green Ramp deck everyone requested! (Slight detour pictured above) The format is starting to solidify and it seems to be universally…
OK. Let’s get it out of the way early. My latest full force draft is coming to https://t.co/usZ5n06pJk right away! What should we test in #MTGHOU next week? — Ilyon (@IlyonMTG) July 13, 2017 But Blue-Green Ramp won the vote! What gives? Are you just a scam artist? Why do you have a Patreon with…
