The Perfect Shards of Alara Sealed Card Pool

October 23, 2008

Rich Hagon asked a bunch of Magic The Gathering pros what the perfect Shards of Alara sealed pool would look like. Here’s what he found:

Asked what the notional ‘perfect Sealed Pool’ would be, I received near-identical answers from every Pro. Nobody, but nobody, mentioned Predator Dragon or Hellkite Overlord or Empyrial Archangel or Planeswalkers or Spearbreaker Behemoth et al. Without exception, what the Pros wanted for Christmas was a fast fast fast deck, using tempo spells and removal to get the hell out of Dodge before all the afore-mentioned expensive spells could come online. Their overwhelming advice to you at your next PTQ would be to build an Aggro deck if it’s there for the taking, and pray for good draws if it isn’t.
