Playing 20 lands in a draft deck is creating your own bad luck.

yah 16 or 17 lands is where it's at, depending on your curve.


So, people going to the prerelease, what colour pack you think you'll choose, and why?

18 is *SOMETIMES* okay i you literally have only gray ogres for early plays, *maybe*

And this is assuming you draft some cool non-basics like Rath's Edge or something...

18 lands is fine in M14. There's lots of a double color spells and not much fixing.

? There's enough fixing and you are better off not playing that card than messing up your mana base to fit those cards, aka make a choice.

18 can definitely be correct, but not very often. 15 is more common than 18 in most formats. Good limited formats usually have common mana sinks, stuff like cycling/morph/landfall/buyback/monstrosity to let you play more lands than you need. Bad limited formats like M14 don't have mana sinks, but still require you to play a ton of lands because the format is so 5cc centric. Incidentally, that's why Cancel is so much better in M14 than most formats, because Cancel is basically the best thing you can have in manaflood battles.

Errr... not really. I'd prefer to have a wind drake over cancel (or any other equivalent 2 power evasive for 3). Cancel stops their bomb if they draw it but can't win the game by itself and is wasted if they drop chaff. If you can't deal with random durdly 5 drop topdecks in m14 blue without counters, y'ain't doing it right XD.

At least a drake puts them on a clock immediately and forces them to draw up something relevant, which in m14 is not actually super easy.

I'd rather have a Cancel than a Wind Drake (or Warden of Evos Isle in this discussion) given that Wind Drake gets blanked by almost everything.

Can't wait to play 18 lands all day in Theros and have a bunch of mana sinks in every deck! (and then die to a pile of heroic triggers...)

DraftSim
Google "MTG Draft Sim" and this site will always be in the top 2, and it's always the first one updated. Now that I think about it....I don't really know of any other sims.

18 lands looks VERY good for theros limited. Monstrosity, scry, and bestow all make lots of land great.

Well, most people use scry to justify playing LESS lands, but yes I suppose it could also justify playing more.

No.

Protection follows the acronym DEBT.

A card with Protection from X can't be

Damaged
Enchanted
Blocked
Targeted

by X

Since their enchantment isn't directly doing any of those things to your creature the protection has no effect.

If it is a creature and an enchantment at the same time (e.g. Lucent Liminid) then yes it will be protected because the enemy creature has both subtypes of creature and enchantment.

If you mean the enemy creature happens to have an enchantment like Angelic Destiny attached to it, then no. You are fighting a creature which just happens to have an enchantment attached to it so your Protection from Enchantments does nothing here.
ModeratorA dream. Do you have one that has cursed you like that? Or maybe... a wish?
