Khet opening set-ups Hello Timothy. Welcome to the site and thanks for jumping in with such a long-unanswered question; this one's been bugging me for over a year. |

Why is Homelands considered among the worst Magic expansions? @thesunneversets: Sure, Legends wasn't an all-time great. But at least it put new ideas into the pool; Homelands didn't. (The legendary mechanic wasn't revised until much later, and it still owes a lot to the original. And I submit Planechase in evidence that Enchant World is not dead, and should not be. But we're moving off Homelands, so I'll shut up.) |

Why is Homelands considered among the worst Magic expansions? @thesunneversets: I don't think it's just the few "marquee" cards... Legends was at least exploring new design space. Multi-coloured creatures, cantrips, Enchant Worlds, Legendary cards - all new and interesting at the time. While few Legends cards are still relevant, most of its mechanical ideas are now staples. Homeland had no such innovation; its few new ideas were specific anti-strategy targeting. |

Is Dimir's millstone strategy viable in Gatecrash sealed deck? If not, what can they do instead? Welcome to the site Jonathan. While I back this approach in draft, in sealed deck I don't think it can be counted on - there's too little chance of drawing evaders and finishers. |

Is Dimir's millstone strategy viable in Gatecrash sealed deck? If not, what can they do instead? Made question less dependant on the prerelease (which is time-dependent), and more about Gatecrash generally. |

Is Dimir's millstone strategy viable in Gatecrash sealed deck? If not, what can they do instead? Hmmm... good point @bwarner, but draft strategies are not the same as sealed. Edited to the best compromise I can manage. |

Is Dimir's millstone strategy viable in Gatecrash sealed deck? If not, what can they do instead? I left out the faerie rogue, but then I'd drawn two Cloudfin Raptors, Basilica Screecher, two keyrunes and Deathcult Rogue. So I really didn't need it. |

Is Dimir's millstone strategy viable in Gatecrash sealed deck? If not, what can they do instead? Hi Nick, thanks for your notes and welcome to the site. (Glad to hear it worked for someone. My tournament contained an awesome Dimir mill deck without Lazav, using multiple Consuming Paranoia and smart evasion to set up the Aberration. Unfortunately, it wasn't mine; I pulled three secondary mill cards, few bombs and a lousy creature curve. Decent removal, but no winners except Undercity Plague. So I had to really work to win my fair 50% of matches, and couldn't beat that.) |
