Gonna be streaming some Overwatch Classic with hero limits today, and thinking about giving WoW Classic a shot tomorrow for the fresh servers? Anyone wanna tell me if I should give it a try?

PhryedEgg @phryedegg.bsky.social · Nov 20

My total GIH Win Rate for my choices is...

459.4

Not too bad for my first predictions! Hopefully I do better next set.

Looking back at my predictions, I definitely should have went with my initial gut feeling of Dreadwing Scavenger over Heroic Reinforcements and Bake Into a Pie over Eaten Alive.

PhryedEgg @phryedegg.bsky.social · Nov 20

My two wildcard Commons I chose were Helpful Hunter and Eaten Alive, the 4th and 15th best commons respectively with GIH Win Rates of 58.3% and 56.8%. I overestimated Eaten Alive's strength in this set, not enough good sac fodder at common I think.

Helpful Hunter {1}{W}
Creature — Cat
When this creature enters, draw a card.
1/1

Eaten Alive {B}
Sorcery
As an additional cost to cast this spell, sacrifice a creature or pay {3}{B}.
Exile target creature or planeswalker.

My pick for best signpost uncommon was Heroic Reinforcements! This one is only in 5th place out of multicolor uncommons, with a rate of 55.7%. Dreadwing Scavenger is in first and I do believe that card plays into its synergies the best while also being in a stronger color pair. Oops!

Heroic Reinforcements {2}{R}{W}
Sorcery
Create two 1/1 white Soldier creature tokens. Until end of turn, creatures you control get +1/+1 and gain haste. (They can attack and {T} this turn.)

Dreadwing Scavenger {1}{U}{B}
Creature — Nightmare Bird
Flying
Whenever this creature enters or attacks, draw a card, then discard a card.
Threshold — This creature gets +1/+1 and has deathtouch as long as there are seven or more cards in your graveyard.
2/2

My pick for best Green common was Llanowar Elves! It does have the best GIH Win Rate in Green with a rate of 56.1%. Green has been struggling a lot this set.

Llanowar Elves {G}
Creature — Elf Druid
{T}: Add {G}.
1/1

My pick for best Red common was Burst Lightning! It is the Red common with the highest GIH Win Rate with a rate of 58.2%. This one doesn't come as much of a surprise to me as I felt it was clearly the strongest Red common.

Burst Lightning {R}
Instant
Kicker {4} (You may pay an additional {4} as you cast this spell.)
Burst Lightning deals 2 damage to any target. If this spell was kicked, it deals 4 damage instead.

PhryedEgg @phryedegg.bsky.social · Nov 20

My pick for best Black commons was Stab! Stab is also a 2nd place pick with a rate of 58.6%, coming right after Bake Into a Pie. I knew Bake Into a Pie would be good but I didn't pick it as one of my choices, thought it would be slightly overshadowed by cheaper removal, oops.

Stab {B}
Instant
Target creature gets -2/-2 until end of turn.

Bake into a Pie {2}{B}{B}
Instant
Destroy target creature. Create a Food token. (It's an artifact with "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this artifact: You gain 3 life.")

My pick for best Blue common was Bigfin Bouncer! Bigfin Bouncer has the 2nd best GIH Win Rate of Blue commons with a rate of 57.7%. In first place is Refute, I personally did not expect a cancel with a loot attached to do as well as it has but it has been performing very well.

Bigfin Bouncer {3}{U}
Creature — Shark Pirate
When this creature enters, return target creature an opponent controls to its owner's hand.
3/2

Refute {1}{U}{U}
Instant
Counter target spell. Draw a card, then discard a card.

PhryedEgg @phryedegg.bsky.social · Nov 20

My pick for best White common was Banishing Light! Banishing Light has the 3rd best GIH Win Rate of White commons with a rate of 58%. Fun fact, it has the 2nd best IWD.

Banishing Light {2}{W}
Enchantment
When Banishing Light enters, exile target nonland permanent an opponent controls until Banishing Light leaves the battlefield.

Now that Foundations has been out for a bit, let's see how I've been doing in my predictions!

PhryedEgg @phryedegg.bsky.social · Nov 8

Made a thread on Twitter of my choices but I'll make a thread here too! I recommend anyone who loves draft to try this out.

I just entered my selections for the FDN #P0P1 Challenge! You can participate too; read more here: mtgds.wordpress.com/2023/11/08/p...

P0P1 Challenge

Here’s the idea: before this set’s prerelease starts, you pick a “team” of eight unique cards that you think will be the strongest in Arena Premier Draft. Your team is score…
