I like to draft "castle" decks.  How 'bout you?

I'm an aggro player at heart....but I live tricksy plays also!  And as Thorme can attest to from our Prismatic games on MTGO, I'm a huge fan of the Door!

I haven't drafted mine yet, but I'd probably go with a Castle strategy.  A few cards I think you missed are Kiku, Night's Flower, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker, and Kodama of the North Tree.

Kiku serves as reusable spot removal, since most creatures die to themselves.  Kiki-Jiki can do some nutty things, particularly since he has haste.  Imagine dropping him to dupe a Colossus or something.  Lastly, Kodama is a solid beater, and has the nifty kind of untargetability.

There are a few other cards I'm playing with, but nothing special.

So I suppose I should take The Fringe back out of my sig now...

I'm a castle drafter, but if I get something like Illusionary mask early...I can easily be swayed into Aggro. Similar to Triple_S...I enjoy tricky stuff. I also rarely pass up huge bombs regardless of my strategy.

Enjoyed the T4 set review. What cards you include seem to vary depending on the power of your deck. I have about 2 decks worth of t4 because the number of people I play with varies from 4-6 and if we get more, we split into 2 games.

The cards I will be adding are:

Time Stop
Gifts Ungiven
Myojin of Cleansing Fire
Myojin of Life's Web
Kokusho, the Evening Star
Keiga, the Tide Star
Nezumi Graverobber
Tatsumasa, the Dragon's Fang
Boseiju, Who Shelters All
Hinder

maybe

True, but I still have the best Door story EVAR.

This does look to be a good T4 set.  Looking forward to drafting with the updates!
