Congrats Dinkus. See you in San Wheezy. Guess you'll need to start playing some limited.

Thanks, dewd.

I would love some instruction in limited.

boros, vampires and naya junk are all played with some other allie aggro and stuff. Interesting format, go break it.

I will not be investing much time in Zen block (a friend has asked me to test a deck, so I will invest some), but I would be happy to give you my opinions on the RoE draft format. I will be drafting it quite a bit (on Tues and Thurs at YMG), so if you want to discuss it I'd be happy to.

Good Primer on the block format going into MODO champs:
