Zendikar Draft Tips: Landfall, Cheap Aggro Dudes, and Equipment
October 16, 2009
Josh Utter-Leyton has a new article on Zendikar Draft and he goes over landfall, cheap aggressive creatures, equipment, and a common land.
Here are some of his points.
Landfall is a good linear strategy, so the more landfall cards you have, the better. If you have multiple landfall cards on the battlefield, then each land drop is going to have a big effect.
Steppe Lynx is one of white’s top five commons.
He likes Plated Geopede and thinks Trusty Machete is one of the best cards in the whole set.
Plated Geopede is definitely Red’s second-best common; Bladetusk Boar and Torch Slinger aren’t even especially close.
Trusty Machete is my choice for the very best card pack 1 pick 1; there’s not a single card in the set I would take over it. Even once you are settled into a color, I’m not convinced that any of the commons are better. At uncommon and rare, I can just about count on two hands the number of cards I would want over Machete once in their colors, and Machete is still very close to all of them.
He likes Adventuring Gear and thinks it could actually be better than the top commons in the five colors.
He is not impressed with Explorer’s Scope, Grappling Hook, and Blade of the Bloodchief.
He talks about Soaring Seacliff as an interesting combo with Ruinous Minotaur, Oran-Rief Recluse, and Tajuru Archer.

How can you hate the explorer’s scope in limited? It won’t be great in constructed but it drives landfall for most limited decks!
