MoS every time.

Quote

MoS is a stand alone,

But a 10/11 immune to NT isn't...? What happens when you play me and Ben who only play with maybe 4-6 ec's and a couple auto block evil enhs, who are you going to band to. Besides a 2/3 bander is just like an additional enhancement for numbers. If you have nothing to band to or play on him he is worthless, but a 10/11 immunity is booster is very scary.

Yes it is....except that he is only immune to Half the characters in Booster draft. And while there MAY be a table where I run into people who dont draft defense, many people DO draft defense often at a 50/50 or 60/40 good/evil rate.  Chances are Excellent that I will be able to band to the emperor claudius that you drafted....or the Potw that someone else drafted, or the Philly garrison that someone pulled from a tep.....on and on and on.

And for the other question, PotW is better than KoT.  My line up looks like this

Banding>Immune>Negate>High Numbers

I always keep an eye out for interesting combos, but unless i see some nice SA combo, these are my guiding prinicpals

Prince. Immune > Negate.

Well - that depends, if its a warriors KoT from TexP I'm taking it for my collection.

yeah from texp

lol I meant for booster...not for trade...but yeah, i'd keep kot over prince trade wise anyways...

Booster is a balance of "What helps my deck?", "What do I need to complete my collection?", and "What is worth the most?".
People will draft DON over any other card. Why? Because of its price, not because people use artifacts.

I am predicting that soul seeker took Messenger of Satan in his inexperience like most of the other noobs on here, I would sacrifice all of my picks, tear through all of the packs in the building searching for buckler, and make it my deck.  Then go on to win Nationals.

True but that wasn't an option.

Though with his NT offense, Claudius would wreck havok.

.except that he is only immune to Half the characters in Booster draft.

You say that like it's a bad thing...being immune to HALF the heroes in BD is a win. And if you have mostly NT heroes and are afraid of a bander do not put him down until you need him. Also the top decks in booster are 70-80% offense 20-30% defense. I have won/top 2 in every booster I have played in for the past year, minus at nationals I was a lost soul away from 3rd if I remember correctly. Either way I usually win BD and I know what it takes to make a winning BD deck. Almost all offense with a few big EC's and a couple aute block EE's. But then again we play differently and what works for me might not for you. I am not saying your choice is wrong, but I do think Claudius is the better pick.

See I disagree, I like a 50/50 or 60/40 split, mostly because I use banders on both offense and defense and they really help my offense and defense. I also use artifacts those things are beastly in BD
