| It's getting closer to that time again.
I love these, not just for the stats, but also reading between the lines for the authors' bias for or against the factions/pieces involved. Please please please SOMEONE more saavy than myself, do another of these?

I agree. The LGD looks to be the beast of the set.Â
But keep in mind that it could be tough to field a good warband near 8 activations and 200 pts with such a large costed mini in a sealed event. So although a beast, the LGD might be beatable.Â
Also keep in mind Wolfgar, and there are still a lot of other unknown Rares yet to be discovered.Â

| | Profit from pulling a LGD is right. I don't need the metallic dragons for rpg purposes, so if I pull a LGD, it's going straight into my trade pile. | |

| LGD is the easiest to say at this point... still a lot of interesting pieces out there not stated... and if LGD isn't independent you're still facing a 40% chance of 140pts going bye bye bye... and thats what's known as an auto loss... As long as your tourny goes 5 rounds it's pretty likely to happen...
Wulfgar might be the beast!!! Dread Wraith even looks fun in sealed (notice i said fun not competitive)... in sealed you never quite know what will happen... I took fifth with a chasme and howler last time round and missed top four due to a bye/drop situation... or was that two sets back???
Raistlin also looks solid for his cost...
in sealed the uncommons often make and break in the end... | |

| Yeah, but it's esier to pull one rare than two.
In the end, LGD may get you a ways, but some skill will be required to win it all. | |

| Yeah, pulling sweet rares isn't all to difficult to strategize around. Figuring out what goes best with crap rares (like the WD release where I got dual warduke) is the true need for the guide.

| While we're getting off-subject, I been searching the better part of today, and all I've found are Unhallowed and Dragon Queen. I Googled, I Yahoo-ed, I searched here (Maxminis) there (Hordelings), and everywhere (DDMSpoilers and even WotC) and I gots nuthin'. I even emailed Doubtofbuddha and Felagund. HALP!
