Topic: Type 4

I have been interested in playing type 4 for quite some time but have never had the chance to. I was thinking about building a pool in order to run a draft but I'm not sure if it would be worth while since i don't have many cards that would usually be found in a type 4 match.

The real question I have is if anyone out there would be willing to take a look at my collection and give me some tips on building a pool out of the cards I have at my disposal.

Re: Type 4

Just had to look up what Type 4 was, but it looks very interesting. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Magic:_The … ing/Type_4

I don't think you need to worry too much about building a pool of cards that are particularily suited to Type 4, at least not to start with. Just throw together some of your best/favorite/mana-expensive cards, and see which ones work best. I like the idea of being able to use cards which usually cost way too much to play in regular games.

Re: Type 4

Hehe, this format looks pretty fun!

I dont' have too many tips to give, but if it were up to me I'd throw out all the very cheap creatures (unless they have a very powerful activated ability), put in the most outrageously expensive ones available, and then like IronGuardian says rotate the pool for a while. After playing a draft throw out 10% of them that felt uninpressive or not fun for the game and replace with things that seem better.

I would throw in all sweepers and counterspell type cards I can though, you really need answers for all those bombs smile. Also creature stealing, Insurrection type things. Edh lists could be good for inspiration, as that's also a format with many bombs and decks built to be fun and outrageous. The article on wizards I read about type 4 also has a few interesting suggestions: http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/a … aily/sf/49 .

Maybe some other guys who have tested the format can weigh in with some tips.

Whatever the case, I'd be very interested to hear some stories of how your first drafts turn out. smile
