Oblivion Ring Vs. Agony Warp in Conflux Draft
February 25, 2009
I still can’t get over a top Magic The Gathering pro taking Agony Warp over Oblivion Ring. However, as I thought about it, I came up with a reason why he did that.
Maybe he thought that there would be a lot of aggro decks in his draft pod. Aggro is pretty strong in Alara/Alara/Conflux draft. Agony Warp might be better against aggro since it can function as Lightning Helix and save you some life points.
While this reason is valid, I’m still rating Oblivion Ring higher. It might be worth testing though and seeing if these cards are closer than conventional wisdom would suggest.

But don’t count out the traditional two color builds. Here’s a two color decklist that went 3-0 in Grand Prix Rotterdam.

February 13, 2009
This is just a theory since I haven’t drafted Shards of Alara and Conflux a lot. Magic The Gathering’s newest set changes the format. MTG players will have to reconsider their strategy.
With Conflux’s arrival, I think there will be two top archetypes.
