Dude... this is my second run of the day. Time to go buy some lotto tickets. I'm at 3 teferis now. I'm going to get 4 of those fuckers before I get a single Karn aren't I?
Man BO1 draft is so frustrating. Win 6 games in a row, then lose 3 games in a row due to flood, mana screw, flood. So close to that 7th win! Definitely hoping I can get the gems to do some BO3 drafts of the new set when it hits.
edit: Furbat, what's your decklist for constructed events?
I put 2 rituals of soot in with 3 midnight reapers, the full explore package, and 3 carnage tyrants. Current list is at 65% w/r on 14 runs. Previous list was 69% over about 2 months but I've been trying to get a lock on WW.
I think it just releases and you just play on the 17th. Nothing fancy like giving out packs. I do hope that they do some sort of special weekend celebration and give out a code or two for some freebies.
If you go to a physical prerelease event on the 19th/20th then the prerelease boxes should come with a Sealed event code on it like for Guilds of Ravnica. Nice people might be even giving them out on Reddit or even here!
I'll be doing 2 prereleases at my LGS, Rakdos and Gruul probably since that covers both of my EDH deck colours. For GRN I got two Arena codes for free sealed events but only one worked.
Because if you're going to attempt to squeeze that big black monster into your slot you will need to be able to take at least 12 inches or else you're going to have a bad time...

Yeah you were only allowed to use one, pretty sure you can't stack 'em up.
Hoping I can snag one for sure since I am quite gem poor. I should have enough to do one draft unless I do particularly well with the gold draft I'm about to be able to do this weekend. My two ixalan drafts so far have been 0-3 and 6-3 so who knows!

Hmmm, there are zero Advisors in standard right now. They'd better print a buttload of Advisors in RNA (besides Teysa) so I can make my Advisor tribal deck work.

Arcane Adaptation might come in handy. Man that seems like an awful card though.
4x Cleansing Nova
4x Absorb (or other counterspell perhaps)
2x ....more lands? Bounce spells? Settle the Wreckage? Syncopate? Quench? Could drop 2x psychic corrosion as there's not much card draw. Or these can be chemisters insight? Number of Petitoners is flexible as well, but want to be able to reliably hit 4 or more, so 12 or more seems important.
edit: needs a way to deal with planeswalkers too (oh, ixalan's binding!)

yeah, but I love trying to make it work. A bunch of tokens, Petitioners, and Adaptation could take out a whole library in a turn or two.
If you're running Persitent Petitioners I don't think you run planeswalkers, other mill cards, or sweepers. You run lifegain, cheap counterspells, and spot and mass protection to stall out then combo mill your opponent. Basically, look at Mono-Blue Tempo's counterspell list, then maybe splash white for the mass indestructible card and run some card draw for if you get flooded.
Like, imagine if you were running a Relentless Rats deck and trying to play Angrath and Fanatical Firebrands. They aren't really in service of the game plan

yeah, it's tricky because mill is generally a control wincon, but if your mill is creature-based then you can't use all the sweepers that hit your side. Settle still works, and the Golden Demise-level sweeps.
I'd think you would at least want drowned secrets to work super well with the Petitioners. But while the 12 cards is good, that's still quite a few turns before you can actually make that work since you have to get 4 out and then tap them all out. Teferi works well enough as protection and card draw, plus a threat all on his own. The petitioners can keep you alive against aggro while the other enchants do work and you build up a mana base to keep dropping them out. More of control with those as a useful protective part, but maybe it won't work I dunno. And cleansing nova is just good against lots of stuff, though losing your petitioners is unfortunate. Can you tap 4 of them with summoning sickness?
I can definitely see running settle instead of nova. Nova is harder to play around but settle doesn't murder your own stuff and that stuff can block.

the "tap four Advisors" ability doesn't use the tap symbol, so you can use creatures that have summoning sickness.
Drowned Secrets is bad because it's a 2 mana card that isn't a petitioner. Every time you draw it, you would be better off having drawn another petitioner. They are an all-in method of building mill, diluting them makes them nearly pointless inclusions.
A petitioner deck would look very similar to a rats deck. It needs some level of control, but only as a tempo play to reach the point at which you win the game in 4 turns when you have four petitioners out. Effects that do not maintain or place petitioners on the board are probably not worth it.
Also, you are overestimating the reliability of petitioners. 16 petitioners is only a 32% chance of having four in play T4 on the draw. 26 is probably the minimum to run, where you hit 4 by turn 4 80% of the time.
Played my first RIX best of 1 draft last night. Was kinda nervous because I've never drafted it and didn't have my standard tier list resources, but I guess I did ok since I went 7-2 with GW Dinos. They flying dinos were MVPs, also had a Captain's Hook which helped.

You would probably want some way to refresh your hand otherwise you're just topdecking one petitioner a turn
Your chances of being able to put 4 out by T4 is high but with the level of creature destruction your chance of keeping 4 alive until T4 is much lower. Like 2 lightning strikes destroys your deck
a 1/3 body at least is reasonably sturdy and dodges some things but needing to hit a threshold to mill at a useful speed makes it seem like a rat variant that is more susceptible to single target removal really messing with its plans
i'm excited about dumb gate synergy cards to see but thus far none of the revealed ones work for what i want. more gate draw pls

Oooh!
Good pets cycle keeps going!

I hope the 3rd set has another good pet, maybe like a cute birb!? I guess it's been done already in the Dominaria set...
Like, I love fierce monsters but MTG needs more cute cards that aren't in un-sets.
Edit: I checked and i guess it could be a full cycle with one new member every expansion set. There wasn't an expansion between Dominaria and Guilds of Ravnica....
So.... what's the cute red or black pet gonna be, i wonder!
Edit to the Edit: I am aware it's not a real cycle. I just really like those cards. They're very cute and flavorful and i would die for each of those!

At least out Brawl in. The game seems designed perfectly for 1v1 brawl.

@SniperGuy MILL RATS
Blockers! THAT MILL! MILLING BLOCKERS! Psychic Corrosion, Drowned Secrets, like 22 lands, 16 of those guys, counterspells, teferi, boardwipes?
Repudiate/Replicate
Instant - counter target activated or triggered ability
Sorcery - create a token that's a copy of a creature you control (waiting on translation to see whether this targets or not)
I just got an erection.
edit: AND IT'S A COMMON?
has to be if you can put an infinite amount of them in your deck.

Oh and kraul harpooner with haste...
