Too bad you can't make use of the Vestige. I really like that card but I think it's right to leave it behind

So Captain's Claws + Tajuru Warcaller is pretty good.

3-0'd my draft today in paper. Started the draft black and blue, then when those dried up and white also went nowhere, I picked a late Oath of Nissa and switched to BG. Pack 2 I open Kozilek's return and rare draft it but then get passed in succession, Mina and Denn, Eodrazi Obligator the land bounce 5 damage, boulder salvo and oath of chandra so I was heavily in red green.
In BFZ i then got the RG landfall uncommon a rolling thunder and twice the 4/4 landfall baloth.
It was fairly easy to 3-0 despite not having a single flyer. I had a white and a black splash available initially was trending towards white because of the manland but black had oblivion strike.
One game I stabilized at 1 life, after getting hit by iso zone twice and facing a Felidar Sovereign, Nettle Drone did some work.
Got my umpteenth TKS in the prizepacks, now I almost have a playset of both TKS, despite already having sold 3 of them, and Kozilek's return + 2 Kozilek's and 1 Worldbreaker. How much is that standard ramp deck to build?

1-1 now. Gripping your opponent's Relentless Hunter they just dumped 6 mana into after an alpha strike feels pretty good.
edit: 2-1

Whining about your draws when you are playing a deck with Siege Rhino and Goblin Dark-Dwellers in it at the same time is fucking asinine. Just saying.

I don't think it's actually possible to have a closer game 3 than this:
Unfortunately, Press into Service on my flier won it for my opponent with <4 minutes and 4 cards in library for both players. I used Grip on a big creature + his only white source only on, which stranded both his hand and the Sea Gate Wreckage for a long time. I don't think killing the Wreckage was right, even if he eventually drew 3 extra cards which got him to the Press. I dunno. I probably would have just died without the extra time to find answers to his one flier.

If you have a clue what to build with this, you're doing better than I am. There's not a lot of payoff for any particular strategy as far as I can tell.

I'm going to be highly annoyed if whatever is behind that counter isn't cards. Boxes of silverware don't exactly hype me for anything in particular.

well white's a given with iso zone and stasis snare but the rest looks fairly booty. Red probably gives you the best curve and most allies but not much else.
NO FUN ALLOWED

The problem I was finding is that the only payoff for allies is Hero of Goma Fada. Sylvan Advocate is a decent combo with Hissing Quagmire, but going three colors sounds suspect given the lack of good creatures in any of those colors.
What I actually did: close the window and stop playing Magic for now :lol

Yeah it's just you managed to not get a single removal in both red and black which is considering the format almost impressive.
Even your white that has removal is as anti synergistic as possible.
Sylvan advocate is great but heck even your green kinda sucks. Best chance I see for the deck is RW curve out.
Given all that you made the correct choice.
It loaded but then showed a 0 0 0 0 timer for me

Seems like a little game, but again, nobody cares about this if there aren't cards. Basically they're very slowly revealing cards, and the countdown revealed nothing other than Brain in a Jar.

It's not a matter of someone spoiling Brain in a Jar early, it's that its really stupid marketing to have a big countdown that leads to [strikeout]Gabbo[/strikeout] a bulk rare.
It's fine if you don't want to reveal a good card, just don't put the countdown there. Mysterious countdowns come with expectations that aren't being met when it leads to something people will actively dislike; you're showing off a card people will be actually pissed off to open as your big kickoff spoiler card.

I think it takes more than one guy to create a site that's basically the very first Harry Potter website circa 2001. The worst part is that this could have been cool if there was a little game or something people could solve to get the cards instead of it just being another timed thing where cards of questionable value poop out every day or whatever. Which ends up meaning nobody will bother to look at it and we'll just wait for some guy from Reddit to check it every hour and report when a card shows up.

Eh, it's cute. That kind of stuff isn't ever going to be for us folks who talk in-depth about meta shifts and eternal-necessary reprints. It's for people who started after Innistrad who want to know what the hype is about.
And that hype, clearly, is about crappy bulk rares.

lol I'm not saying it had to be a constructed all-star, but it probably wouldn't have killed them to reveal something that was at least good in limited and not a goofball build around for some guy's casual 5 card combowombo.

Today's big spoiler:
BIG SCARY DEMON GUY: MINDWRACK DEMON OMG
Hence why I didn't even say commander, its johnny's casual jar. This is kind of a thing that happens when you design a block from the top down - you get flavor stuff that doesn't have a legitimate practical application like Jar of Eyeballs or Pyxis of Pandemonium.

It's not the design style's fault. Brain in a Jar could easily be tweaked towards being more practical if they wanted to.
