New set! New mechanics! New episode format??? We kick the tires on a new way to break down arcuns, those gold cards we get every set that help define draft. Rather than going for power rankings or in-depth numbers on a whole set, we’re trying to model how people see these cards for the first time. To do that, we’ve got four categories:
- Excitement: Is this a cool new strategy? Do these two cards inspire us?
- Accuracy: Do we believe decks will actually be able to play this strategy?
- Synergy: Does this make unused cards great? Are these cards only good in the right deck?
- Raw Strength: Are these two cards useful on their own? Do these cards lead me to this color pair?
This was such a fun way to break down cards that we went DEEP. Originally one ep, we broke this into two! Look forward to more next week!
| Excitement | Accuracy | Synergy | Raw Strength | |
| UW | 2/4 | 2/3 | 4 | 4/3 |
| UB | 3/2 | 5 | 1 | 2 |
| RB | 5 | 4 | 4 | 3/2 |
| RG | 1 | 2 | 2 | 4 |
| GW | 3 | 4 | 3 | 3 |
