Re: Magic: The Gathering

I drafted with a couple of mates a few days ago one of the local stores cubes (it was a proxied cube, with the power 9 in it).

Managed in one of the games to bring a Blightsteel Colossus onto the battlefield on my first turn.

It was so bad, yet so glorious!

Black permanents isn't a problem, since all but two non-land permanents are black in my deck. Just the sheer kill speed can see me dead on turn 4 or 5.
