That was very incoherent, but I had to get it out before the prerelease.Chahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15574587448667619081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-15612917801937825382013-04-26T15:32:20.650-04:002013-04-26T15:32:20.650-04:00I agree that this piece switches between design an...I agree that this piece switches between design and limited strategy a lot, but as I find those both intensely interesting I have no complaints.

Something I need to watch out for.<br /><br />While I wrote that there were several shades of 5-color, I don't mean that people should try to do it as a default; rather I wanted to point out how amazing it is that all the 5-color decks don't blend into one type (regardless of whether they're frequent or not). But by spending so many words on it, it might look as if I'm emphasizing its frequency. I agree that 3-color would be the mainstream.Chahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15574587448667619081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-82622073434039370712013-04-26T11:18:11.564-04:002013-04-26T11:18:11.564-04:00I feel like this review wandered between a Design ...I feel like this review wandered between a Design perspective and a Limited-advice perspective, but I found it quite excellent regardless. Thanks, Chah.<br /><br />I'm certain it is not a coincidence that all of the color fixing in Dragon's Maze is two-color and not five-color. While it's very possible to take a lot of fixing and draft a 4- or 5-color deck, they're definitely pushing toward 3-color decks.<br /><br />Archetype-dependent removal is an interesting development and I believe a positive one. I wonder if we'll see more of that after RtR block is done.Jay Treathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09428861685923241850noreply@blogger.com
