What do you do if you first-pick a tundra?

Do what Magic judge turned meme Jeph Foster did. Take goblins all day and live the dream.

Not only did Jeph already win by opening a Mana Drain and a Tundra in his Vintage Masters draft, he got passed gobbos. Lots of gobbos.

Is it as good as U/G Madness? Surveys have shown, no. But this deck looks fun as balls to play. Should have wedge in that Scabland so he has a way to play Armageddon? Probably not. Should Solar Blast make an appearance? Probably. Probably that Belt of Giant Strength as well. Still, the deck is saucy and he even has a Rorix Bladewing because, why not?

  1. It was an expensive journey, figuring out the format, but I’m at the point where I’m splitting the finals of 8-4s almost every time I draft. My previous draft was not so good for me in terms of play – I lost in Round 2. This was mitigated by opening Mox Ruby!

  2. Undeniably imagine that which you stated. Your favourite reason appeared to be on the web
    the easiest factor to understand of. I say to you, I
    certainly get irked while folks think about issues that they plainly do not realize about.
    You controlled to hit the nail upon the top and outlined
    out the whole thing without having side effect ,
    other folks can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.
    Thank you
