There are a total of 21 new Magic cards in the set, spread across the four decks. Each deck has six of the cards (counting by name), although some appear in multiples.

Copyright secured by Digiprove © 2012 It has been a couple of weeks since Dark Ascension has released and a standard pro tour is behind us as well. I know I could have made all kinds of predictions about what is going to be and why it is going to do so, but I have had a lot on my plate.
With that being said we should take a look at what the face of standard held for us a few short weeks ago. The Standard environment is pretty wide open. The main archetype decks were:
L5R Embers of War BD
L5R: Embers of War SD
In the distant Colonies, once known as the Ivory Kingdoms, the samurai of Rokugan gather the resources the Empire needs to survive. Threatened by unknown enemies and pitted against one another in politics and economics, will their honor and steel prove strong enough for the Second City to survive? Embers of War is the brand new expansion for the fan-favorite Legend of the Five Rings Collectible Card Game from AEG. It follows the release of Emperor Edition, the new base set, releasing in February 2012. Now that peace has settled and the riches of the new land conquered by the Empress’ forces are discovered, new alliances and rivalries are formed, both on the mainland and the Colonies. Who will benefit the most?
I have recently reclaimed some of my L5R collection and I am looking forward to this.

A few notes for the new players:

– You will need two sets of opaque sleeves and some playing cards to “back” these printouts with, to give them some weight when playing.

Wow! It is that time already another Magic Prerelease is upon us. I am sorry for not doing this sooner, but I have been busy making some videos for the blog and trying to pay for life. So Dark Ascension is what we are going to talk about. Specifically my picks. Since this is my second ever set review I am trying to be different. my reviews will always differ from the other guys because I am a both competitive and casual and a judge. I tend to look at a set and say wow this is cool or this really stands out for this deck. What you won’t get from this is the best draft picks, or replacement cards in deck types. What you will get is a broader selection. I don’t care about only the competitive end of the game.
With that said I am going to take a different approach this time. Since, Dark Ascension is only 150 cards I ma cutting my selection to only 3 cards per color one common, an uncommon, and a rare. Starting with black.
I think the best three cards in black are GravePurge, Wakedancer, and GraveCrawler.
GravePurge
Because putting a card(s) on top of your library from your graveyard and drawing it is cool. The fact that it is an instant makes it really good.
WakeDancer
She has all the synergy you want in a card. Cheap to play and a good ability.
Gravecrawler
What can I say undead should always be played from the graveyard

Sorry this is coming to you late I have been a sleep for about two days fighting off pain and a fever.
Card quality is a source of much debate because it runs so close to card quality and tempo. I will even go as far to say that they are often the same. Over the years card quality has been a lot of different things. But, I believe card quality is the weight of the cards ability against its mana cost in the given environment.
Let’s look at some hypothetical examples.

Tempo in Magic the Gathering is what two or more players enter in while attempting to gain control of the game. It is a race that revolves around who can play better cards or more cards faster. Basically it is a race about gaining the upper hand. In other words the player who is winning the race usually sets the tempo of the game. The reality of it though is the tempo of a game can be one sided, balanced, or up and down like a roller coaster.
