After a lot of drafts and sealed (dissension only) my friends and I noticed several things:
- The Guildmages are insane!
Rakdos Guildmage is just too nasty, turning every land you draw into a Enfeeblement. Simic totally turns (mirror)games around (allowing you to kill Graft creatures simply by moving all their counters to a creature tapped down with the Minister of Impediments).
Azorius Guildmage is usually game.
- Rakdos vs the Other
Within dissension, you are either playing Rakdos (splashing another color is difficult to say the least) or some WBG concoction. Unfortunately... - the Other wins
Only on rare occasions (for instance, if Rakdos was horribly underdrafted) a Rakdos deck will kill a WBG player before their deck stabilizes and wins. Simple rule: Good Rakdos << Mediocre Azorius/Simic deck. - Keep your hand sideways..
.. or else opponents will know when you are holding a split card - Uncommons which were better than I expected them to be:
Paladin or Prahv
Azorius Herald
Gnat Alley Creeper (there are just so many flyers!)
Kindle the Carnage
Squealing Devil
Flash Foliage
Might of Nephilim
