I love Theros, I play a lot of Theros Limited and figure Born of the Gods will make the format even more fun. However, I've been on a M14 kick right now for my past few events. I've done 3-4 M14 drafts on my own in addition to the Sealed DE later on in this article. For the moment, I would recommend anyone to play M14 Limited over Theros Limited right now. Why is that?

1. M14 rares/mythic are worth more than Theros rares/mythics. Excluding Liliana of the Dark Realms, each Planeswalker in M14 is worth between 8 tickets (Ajani + Jace) and 20 tickets (Garruk + Chandra). Compare that to the Theros Planeswalkers which are worth 6-10 each and you're getting a better deal doing M14. After that you have some good mythics in Archangel of Thune, Kalonian Hydra, Shadowborn Demon and the best rare in the set: Mutavault. Mutavault right now is hovering around 25 tickets as a rare.

2. There are no feel bad moments in the format. What I mean by this is that you're going to play interactive games of Magic. Much like Hexproof.dek in last Standard, Heroic makes it so sometimes you just get free wins by going all in and not being punished/having God's Willing. You get good removal in M14, so you also don't lose to a big fatty or evasive threat. This is a far cry from Theros Limited where the removal is either situational (Lightning Strike, Magma Jet, Divine Verdict), or too expensive (Sip of Hemlock, Rage of Purphoros).

3. It's a fun format! I've heard differing opinions on Theros Draft (mostly bad beat stories about Heroic), but I haven't heard any about M14. While it's not on the same power level as Theros, it's pretty balanced for the most part and you can draft a decent deck given that you draft open colors. Also, if you happen to love blue, blue is the best color in M14 Limited, so there's that! It's also more mentally stimulating to play a "new" format and have to focus on new cards and interactions rather than just going on autopilot for another Theros draft.

I'll be switching between Theros and M14 until Born of the Gods comes out, at which point I'll be jamming those queues for quite a while. So, let's open some packs!

Conclusion

I honestly feel like I didn't get to play much Magic during this Daily Event. Round 1 was decided by my mulligans, my Round 2 opponent didn't show up, and in Round 3 I lost to Fireshrieker both games because it put too much pressure on me (the Shivan Dragon certainly didn't help). The deck was decent, but it was missing some cards that would've made it even better (Deadly Recluse, Divination, Opportunity, etc.) The important thing to remember is that you can't get frustrated when things just don't go your way. There was nothing I could have done differently to prevent my losses, so there's no use getting upset over it. It's different if I misplay or clearly punt, but when things just don't go your way, that's a different story. As always, if you have any comments, questions, or concerns, please feel free to leave them in the comments sections below.
