I figured out the problem - the game will withhold your last X boosters in a plane, where X is the amount of bosses you haven't beaten yet. That way the bosses still have a booster to give you.

So now having fixed that, I have my 2 Rabblemasters and so now it's rabble rabble, mother fuckers.

I really find myself enjoying my G / B deck, and I'm looking for some destruction spells that hit the opponent's board only.

I know of Plague Wind and In Garruk's Wake. Mostly, because of the large amount of Ramping this deck has.

Depending on your budget and format, there's Overwhelming Forces. Besides that, I don't think there are very many one-sided ones.

There's Putrefy, but last I checked that's pretty expensive.

[up][up]Putrefy is like a quarter. It's probably Abrupt Decay that you're thinking of.

But Rabblemaster goes so well with the rest of my deck!

While at first I was disappointed that I couldn't get more awesome cards or no restrictions on mythics/rares I'm actually liking the cards available. While a lot of this cards are absolutely shit, there are some really interesting cards that work well here because they're not Overshadowed by Awesome.

Timberland Guide and Wandering Wolf are cool pseudo-bears. Rockslide Elemental is so much fun alongside Rabblemaster.

And I just ordered some Putrifies, In Garruk's Wake, and the Apex Predator himself.

Some Pack Leaders too, I need draw power.

Even better would be to print it almost exactly the same, only change Sarkhan's card to be more "eff it, I'm done".

Doug tries to explain away the game's lack of squirrels using pickels.

Great as his answers are most the time, I think his explanation here is a bit of BS given all the other animals we've gotten that even as of late. I fail to see how the likes of Scryfish, Trample Badger, and Durdle Mc Turtle are any more worthy of having a place in the Multiverse than Squirrels.

We need a plane that's home to a race of sapient squirrelfolk, clearly.

I'd be glad if we never went back, personally. The flavor was confusing and the set was way underpowered.

[up] I'd laugh if Kamigawa II would have cards that broke the game into enough tiny pieces that everyone would rejoice when it rotates out of Standard.

Neither goony beard-men nor rainbow-haired she-twinks will stand in the way of my dreams!

I'll be honest, I hate it when one block completely dominates Standard. We saw it in RTR-THS where the Ravnica cards were just so much more powerful than the Theros ones, what with Pack Rat/Desecration Demon/Underworld Connections singlehandedly enabling MBD and Supreme Verdict/Sphinx's Rev making UW a thing.

However, we also see it now. Most of the THS-KTK decks are defined by KTK (what with all the decks these days being clan decks) while using a few Theros cards to fill in the cracks (stuff like Thoughtseize, Whip Courser and Elspeth).

It bothers me a lot. I liked it a bit more during INN-RTR where they were somewhat balanced.

A set based on Japanese mythology sounds good on paper. I'd be up for them having another go at it.
