How good is Flowstone Armor  in this format? We could always just take Seal of Doom  too.

So obviously the best card(s) are black. Besides that, Cloudskate is quite good, and Stampede Driver is potentially decent. Rather than moving in on blue or black, I think I want the Stampede guy, who fits well with our 'big beaters' plan.

This pack, huh? I think the Armor sucks the least but woah... Black would've been a nice place to be.

Seal of Doom. Destroys 80% of the creatures in the set and easy to splash. Nothing else is even close in power level.

Yeah, I think I'm going with the Seal.

I don't think we have enough red to say we're fully committed to it, and Volrath won games in this format. He's my choice.

I've seen angels fall from blinding heights.
But you yourself are nothing so divine.
Just next in line.

Welp, there are some decent choices actually. Stampede Driver  is a great finisher in the format and simply wins you the games. Considering that most of what we have passed so far isn't huge, he'd be a solid choice to end the game. Flowstone Armor isn't terrible, but it's not terribly good either. Even then, I'd rather have some other sort of pump than this. It's chaffe, and mostly a 23rd filler. The Laccolith line is really stupidly strong in the format, and can just ruin the opponent. However, the Whelp isn't the best pick right now methinks. Fading is actually not as bad as many may think, and can allows for some early aggression. Both the skate and the ridgeback are solid choices for some early damage/blocking. Seal of Doom is very splashable and strong removal at that. Problem is, there is practically no mana fixing available in the block, or none worth playing really. I'm actually not terribly certain how viable 3-color is in Masques block, so I'm weary of going into 3-color to much. And the other two black cards are also quite strong as well, but require to much investment. So... I'm going with Seal of Doom, actually. Black isn't out of the question quite yet, and it is rather splashable.

That's hard, but I'm going with the driver.

Occassionally when catering, I've been put the task of arranging Fruit and Cheese or Grilled Vegetable platters. More than once a high class buffet has started with the mark of Phyrexia upon it. Since i've got a good eye for color so it looks great to people who don't get the "joke" (it's a niceley divided circle after all: the outline gives you 4-6 "regions" to work with), this has actually got me put on platter design more often, resulting in Phyrexia's presence at more private and industry events.

Flowstone Armor. This isn't equipment. This is removal for any one-toughness creature, and occasionally a damage boost for a Horned Troll or something.
