Incidentally: Sentry's Doom is actually a sorcery (so you can't just throw it for 4 during their precombat main), my mistake. Makes it strictly worse than Flame Slash , but for the set Slash would probably have been too good.

I suppose this doesn't change pick order much?

Zokorad, he posted it incorrectly as an instant. However, in his set it is actually a sorcery. Even as a sorcery, it's still the best pick in the given booster.

Normally, I'd say Sentry's Doom, but the other red cards in the pack seem finely playable, and I might worry about the people I'm passing to thinking that red is open, and I'd rather not compete with them for quality red if possible, so probably Brutality.

If Sentry's Doom is a sorcery, then either Maniac of Cutthroat Alley or Poisonfang Hulk.

Think of how Neo couldn't beat the robots, but they kept him around anyways to defeat Agent Smith. Sure, the robots might not like having a Neo running rampant because instead of playing their favorite 4 drop fatty robot, they have to play a bunch of one mana Matrixs to contain him, but at least Neo keeps Agent Smith from reanimating an Iona on turn two.

I really enjoy imagining this from Kevin's perspective. Because in Kevin's world, Rosewater actually reads everything he types. Mark is sitting there right now, reading this, and thinking "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled. . ." Or some such. He chuckles low, then clicks on "The Best Of KEVINSET" and says "Yes, this'll do just fine. A busty lady with banding who deals direct damage to Zones!? Why this will be the star of my next set, and no one will ever believe you Kevin." Then he closes his Macbook, so his servant may move it out of the way, while another servant puts a Fetal Richard Garfield Clone lathered in Steak Sauce in front of him. Then Mark Feasts.

I mean, In KevinWorld, Mark is reading the very words I'm typing as well. Heck, in KevinWorld maybe I am Mark.

[In response to a thread about how hard grading is]

Upon reading this, I've found myself completely unable to operate in the world.  I tried to decide what to eat for breakfast, and pondered the vast consequences of my choice.  How do I balance my dietary needs against my desire to eat good-tasting food? Should I factor in how long it takes to prepare?  Cereal is ready in moments, but bacon takes longer to cook.

Then there is the impact on other industries.  Do people in the cereal industry deserve to be employed more than people in the bacon industry?  Which industry should I support? I don't even have the data regarding HOW MUCH the cereal industry benefits from me eating a bowl of cereal, or how much the bacon industry benefits from me eating a side of bacon.  How can I compare two qualities I can't even quantify?

And let's not forget the milk on the cereal.  In addition to determining whether or not milk is healthy for me, how much that benefits the milk industry, and how much the people in the milk industry deserve my support, we have to factor in the fact that cows are put under brutal conditions in order to collect thier milk.  Of course, the same goes for the pigs, and then they get killed.  Of course, I really like bacon.  So I need to come up with a scale that compares the value of cow happiness to pig happiness to my happiness.  What trade-offs am I willing to make here?  Does the fact that the pig gets put out of its misery count as a plus or a minus?  Isn't bacon bad for me anyway?

Deciding what to eat for breakfast (or any meal) is impossible.  Help me!

I must admit chinkeeyong, you have the most interesting character ideas; and you play them well.

Anyway, you'd be surprised about Time Stop. When I first saw that card as a relatively new player I didn't see its full potential until I read the reminder text. Is it that unintuitive, though? Mine I mean. What is possibility? Is it possible for me to type these words with my tusks? No, because I don't have tusks. Although I am now tempted to go buy some - obviously not from poachers or whatever - and use them as typing apparatus. I could be the best secretary ever. "What's your words per minute sir?" "Well, only six, but I use these tusks to type them." "You're hired!" That was the interview. And is anyone else disappointed that "apparati" is not the plural form of apparatus? I just could strangle a dictionary, because "apparatuses" is a real word. I guess it sounds pretty cool. I'll call them my Apparatusks.

Maniac or Poisonfang hulk. Sentry's doom is still fine, though.

Sleeping, the jail is actually a free mechanic enabler is Rio's set, so actually has the potential to be very playable.

I think I would go Doom or Hulk, possibly Hulk just due to the volume of red. But I'd probably still want the removal.

Also Rio if you think it would be worthwhile CKY ran a community draft in the Limited forum with his last set - that was pretty cool.

I'm going to jump on the Sentry's Doom bandwagon, but also because I know a little bit about the other cards in this set, and I'd probably go for a RU rogue tribal, if that were feasible. So, Maniac is a close second.
