They're mono-colorless.
Well, normally they aren't showcasing one of the strongest overall constructed sets of all time.

He still lost, though.

Oath, despite it being a small set, is the set that once Khans rotates out will likely be the defining power level of Standard. Sure, Gideon/Jace are going to stay in as big players, but Oath is stronger then BFZ, Origins, and Dragons IMO, and unless Shadows is insane powerlevel wise, Oath's going to dominate Standard.
Oath gave us a reason to legitimately play Allies(I know it's weakish, but Oath of Gideon on a Turn 6 GW Allies deck is nuts with all the new toys Allies have), Oath of Nissa is nuts in general, The Colourless Eldrazi are nuts, Reckless Bushwhacker is nuts, etc.
Nothing in FRF/Born had this impact minus perhaps Ugin.
The guy with a T1 Chalice didn't.

Any hope for buying Chalice for less than like $30+ is probably gone already. Being in LSV's deck means spiiiiiiiiike
Foils on MTGO are still cheap, just picked up a foil playset for 43tix.
It spiked hard in that short period where Treasure Cruise was legal and the only deck worth playing was Delver. I don't think it's recovered from that
Also, I can't look at Darwin Kastle's hair

That's why it runs Wastes, I think. The idea is to dump something big and busted before Blood Moon can feasibly come down. LSV's deck appears to be very aggressive.

Why run wastes over basic swamp if you have Dismember?
He lost 1-2. That match up seems almost unwinnable for Eldrazi unless they do the turn 1 or 2 Chalice.

Tuned in like 5 minutes too late to scoop up any Chalices. Had been sleeping on that card for far too long anyway, but now it'll be out of reach for the foreseeable future.

You have 0 sources of Colorless into Blood Moon

I have... one. I guess that it's for trade. lol
amazon has a few at 20, toywiz has 'em at 25, and random foreign sites have them for ~15
move fast, though
Even just Eldrazi in general. Looks like Eldrazi is 9% of the field, too.
I have a hard time going into something like a GP without any etched main. I can see it being more effective at a pro tour where people are going to just play whatever deck they believe has the best chance of winning unlike a GP where the jund player might not have a second deck ready to go.
That reminds me, I looked through your wants for the Karakas and I was able to find a bunch of 'em. Sending you a PM now.

well, the Amazon ones were already sold out by the time you posted this and almost all the toywiz ones were as well seemingly. However, I did manage to check out with two Modern Masters ones, so hopefully that works out. Thanks for the head-up.

Oh yeah lol
I'm a fan of the "play a decent amount of 1 ofs in an Aggro deck like Zoo so that your opponent can't possibly react to them" strategy.
Fighting for the W/B allies deck might not be a good idea because everyone knows it's the best deck and are taking Zulaport Chainmage very high.
Yeah, so ive heard drafting self corrects its own meta. So if everyone knows that, what happens that makes it correct itself?
Im afraid of white black bc people will get pulled in by its great commons and golds.
