That might do the trick, but the deck's gonna need ace creatures before it becomes "a thing". That possessed girl transform card is pretty solid there, but I'm not sure what else might fit.

Quote from: Sexton

Based on the article here, this seems like a really fun casual format, with a lot of room for innovation and freshness. The basic idea is that you get a stack of 100 cards, about 60% of which are tokens, and the rest are spells. That's the Horde. It's an AI with no decisions to make, and 2-4 players can fight against it using EDH decks, Standard decks, draft decks, whatever. Each turn, it flips cards until it hits a non-token, then puts the tokens into play, then casts the spell it hit. All of its tokens have haste, and must attack. Players share a life total, 2HG-style. Horde wins when the players life runs out. Players win with the Horde's library is empty and it has no threats left on the board, so players are basically out to survive. They can counter attack or burn the horde, though, and doing so results in milling cards off the Horde deck. That lets you balance against the power of the decks the players are using by modifying how many cards the Horde starts with. That's basically it.

The guy that invented it used Zombies, and spells like Bad Moon, Plague Wind, and so on. I'm thinking that all Zombie tokens isn't much variety, so I'm going to build one that's more like a dungeon crawl, with a variety of monsters, and lots of Trap cards from Zendikar, stuff like that. I'll probably balance it to face Cube sealed decks, since that's what I tend to have on me.

What do you think of this format? When you want to play something casual, having it be a co-op format rather than head-to-head seems great to me.

That actually seems pretty fun!

Hmm! I think I'm gonna try and get a game of that off the ground over at Talking Time!

Is it my imagination, or are there a lot of mythics in this set?

Mongrel · « **Reply #1647 on:** January 23, 2012, 07:36:38 AM »

And they're alllllllllllllllll terriblle!

Except Sorin. And I guess the green undying beastie and the Falkenrath Aristocrat. But those last two are not-super impressive and even Sorin is not crazy. Like he's good enough that he'll probably see Modern play, but that's not actually guaranteed!

From a T1/Legacy/Modern point of view this set is a real stinker. But I guess that saves me money. Back to chasing Snapcaster Mages!

Speaking of which, I gave a friend of mine a few packs for her Christmas present. She got an Olivia, a Snapcaster and a Mayor of Avabruck. I told her to not trade Olivia or Tiago, especially not to the guy whom she works with that thinks Eron the Relentless is a $20 card.

Man, the list of what we DIDN'T get out of Innistrad was just brutal. Out of about 3 boxes, we managed to get not one Liliana, Snapcaster, Olivia, Geist of St Traft, Garruk, a whole slew of smaller but good rares (like Gavony Township) or any card above $3 for that matter. We usually have terrible luck with our purchases, but that was seriously the worst we've had in a long while.

We know odds are odds, but Magic packs are weighted a LITTLE better than lottery tickets [joke about Worldwake goes here], so you usually get SOMETHING even if it's not the something you want.

NOT BITTER.

We don't have much on your list at the moment. I've been fishing around but trading 'round here is such a pain in the ass.

Well, let me know. Primeval Titan's experienced yet another price hike. I'm surprised they don't just print a judge foil and be done with it.

Also, does Blood Moon override Urborg, T of Y?
