#Shadows of doubt mtg series

How did you end up doing? Did my articles help somewhat? I know that not all of my evaluations were correct, but I still felt pretty confident of my choices. If you’re reading this, then the pre-release has come and gone and you’ve gotten a taste of what Shadows Over Innistrad is like. Planeswalkers, massive creatures, etc., these are the cards you could build a deck around. These will usually be your rares and mythics because they are incredibly bonkers.

5 stars = you won’t see a lot of these at common and uncommon.

Most first pick draft commons/uncommons fit into this ranking. The only thing holding them back is restrictive costs or some small drawback. They also have multiple effects, and are all around good value for you. 4 Stars could be good finishers, or cards that can end a game if left unchecked. 4 stars = Here’s where we get into the powerhouses.They could be good except for a few flaws. These cards could be less than amazing removal effects, or a creature that is a glass cannon (high power, low defense). 3 stars = a 3 star card is a solid role-player.2 stars = this card could be a strong sideboard card, but is highly conditional and not always effective.

1 star = a card that is barely playable, even as filler for your deck.

After a lot of feedback, I’ve decided to abandon my 3 tier scoring system of Low-Medium-High and I will instead be moving onto a 5 star ranking system.

I’ve purposely left out the rare cards because it is much more likely that you’ll see multiples of uncommon and commons in your packs/pools.)Īs for my rating system, I’ll be using a new format this time around. For those of you uninitiated to limited, it simply means sealed and booster draft, where you open packs and then proceed to make a deck out of them.

NOTE: “Playing to your Weaknesses” is a series of articles I have been doing on my own blog since Avacyn Restored that cover all of the uncommons and commons in a new expansion and which ones I would choose to use as one of the 23 cards in a 40 card limited deck.
