Mirrodin is fun. So is Tempest if there are no restrictions.

I agree with Champion.

However, LLM or SSE or even XXX is better for the constructed gamer, because you can get $$$ Rares or playable cards.

@ Lee XXX?

mirrodin and tempest....hmmm... what about these blocks make then fun as in, like what are some great cards?  also what are good cards in tempest if there are no restricitions.  Im not familiar with these blocks cuz i started playin right after lorwyn came out. 

I know the timespiral block and everything after that pretty well.  I have a feeling that most ppl there will play TS or more recent blocks.  I was thinking that if lots of ppl played TS then i might be able to pick up a bunch of slivers (YAY FOR VIRULENT SLIVERS)

but yeah what about mirrodin and tempest?

XXX is Triple 10th Edition draft.

Nothing special about either Mirodin or Tempest...they are just really fun sets with powerful cards.

I have really been wanting to try a Dissension, Shadowmoor, Eventide Draft It's not block but I think that would be a very interesting draft.
