Zendikar – My first look

Well the pre-release has been and gone. What a hoot! I had an absolute blast. Went 4-1 and finished 4th in my flight.

Sadly I didn’t think to record my card pool or my deck – the brain was a tad fried after the long day.  I played a Grb stompin deck with fatties, allies and some red/black removal goodness.

MVP: Terra Stomper – this guy rocked, and I won every game that he hit the table! 8/8 for 6 is a beast.

Honourable Mention: Disfigure - B for a -2/-2 is pretty cool – opening 2 in the pool was awesome!

Honourable Mention: Vines of the Vastwood – G for Shroud and GG for +4/+4 and shroud. Simply amazing. G for counter target spell or activated ability targeting any creature – unreal!

The mechanics of Landfall, Allies, and Kicker are pretty neat too. Not sure about traps though. I have never found a trap that I preferred over a non trap card. The quests are good too.

All up I give Zendikar a 9/10 for a fun environment.
