Post subject:	BNG prerelease sealed
Today was the first day of BNG online. I joined a sealed tournament, and this is what I opened: Spoiler 1 x Hopeful Eidolon 1 x Nyxborn Shieldmate 1 x Loyal Pegasus 1 x God-Favored General 1 x Hero of Iroas 1 x Ephara's Warden 1 x Griffin Dreamfinder 1 x Setessan Griffin 1 x Chosen by Heliod 1 x Sudden Storm 1 x Chosen by Heliod 2 x Last Breath 1 x Ordeal of Heliod 1 x Revoke Existence 1 x Ray of Dissolution 1 x Omenspeaker 1 x Meletis Astronomer 1 x Mindreaver 1 x Crackling Triton 1 x Nimbus Naiad 2 x Nyxborn Triton 1 x Triton Fortune Hunter 1 x Chorus of the Tides 1 x Prognostic Sphinx 1 x Floodtide Serpent 1 x Arbiter of the Ideal 2 x Archetype of Imagination 1 x Tromokratis 1 x Retraction Helix 2 x Crypsis 1 x Fate Foretold 1 x Gainsay 1 x Nullify 1 x Voyage's End 1 x Sudden Storm 1 x Horizon Chimera 1 x Steam Augury 2 x Felhide Brawler 1 x Fleshmad Steed 1 x Nighthowler 1 x Kragma Butcher 1 x Mogis's Marauder 1 x Disciple of Phenax 1 x Odunos River Trawler 1 x Returned Centaur 1 x Forsaken Drifters 1 x Warchanter of Mogis 1 x Loathsome Catoblepas 1 x Dark Betrayal 2 x Scourgemark 1 x Asphyxiate 1 x Necrobite 1 x Grisly Transformation 1 x Read the Bones 1 x Drown in Sorrow 1 x Kragma Warcaller 1 x Nyxborn Rollicker 1 x Cyclops of One-Eyed Pass 1 x Reckless Reveler 1 x Spark Jolt 1 x Scouring Sands 1 x Bolt of Keranos 1 x Rise to the Challenge 2 x Rage of Purphoros 1 x Satyr Wayfinder 1 x Satyr Hedonist 1 x Swordwise Centaur 1 x Agent of Horizons 1 x Graverobber Spider 1 x Staunch-Hearted Warrior 1 x Pheres-Band Raiders 1 x Nylea's Emissary 1 x Pheres-Band Centaurs 1 x Aspect of Hydra 1 x Hunt the Hunter 1 x Nylea's Presence 1 x Feral Invocation 1 x Culling Mark 1 x Raised by Wolves 1 x Opaline Unicorn 1 x Unknown Shores The deck should be pretty obvious; still, I'll put it in the spoiler for those of you who want to build the pool. Spoiler 1 x Hopeful Eidolon 1 x Nyxborn Shieldmate 1 x Hero of Iroas 1 x Omenspeaker 1 x Crackling Triton 1 x Nimbus Naiad 2 x Nyxborn Triton 1 x Triton Fortune Hunter 1 x Floodtide Serpent 1 x Griffin Dreamfinder 1 x Prognostic Sphinx 1 x Arbiter of the Ideal 1 x Retraction Helix 1 x Crypsis 1 x Chorus of the Tides 1 x Fate Foretold 1 x Last Breath 1 x Chosen by Heliod 1 x Ordeal of Heliod 1 x Revoke Existence 1 x Voyage's End 1 x Ray of Dissolution 8 x Plains 9 x Island I made a few choices I wouldn't make again, but overall, I was quite happy with how this one played. Match one, game three, my opponent had Whip of Erebos, Agent of the Fates, and an active Phenax, God of Deception in play. We were both at about 10 life. Two turns later, I won the game. I lost the second match to the pod winner, mostly to Fabled Hero, and won the other two matches to go 3-1. All of my opponents played blue; two were UW, two UB; one of the UW players splashed black for the new Siren. Enchantment removal won me more games than anything else in the pool. The big flyers mostly died or traded. Voltron is still the name of the game. Tomorrow, I'm off to the internet-free skiing wilderland. See you in a week.

Dem some blue bombs. I guess we can skip 'kratis as a 7 drop, but I like Archetype over Dreamfinder. I kinda think you should run BOTH Archetypes but maybe I'm wrong (haven't played with or against the card yet) I am also not totally sold on serpent with only 2 enchantrips. I guess he holds down the ground (water) 11 black creatures (12 including warcaller) in the pool and no way would I run Black. I am going skiing up at North Lake Tahoe. Gonna be crowded.

I was happy with my creatures, but I think I should have played Sudden Storm over Retraction Helix. I played the Helix for the heroes and the inspired rare, but the heroes were attacking all the time, and you can't use the Helix on a critter with summoning sickness. Voyage's End was strangely unsatisfying. Hero of Iroas is a powerhouse, and could be a first pick in draft. And both white and blue Nyxborn are really good. You should definitely maindeck all enchantment removal you open. This may be skewed a bit since I haven't seen a single red or green spell played the whole tournament, but still.
