Aggro is not represented in EDH really. I am finding that cube draft is my favourite format right now.You realize that given Wizards largely designs set so combo ISN'T viable in standard, I guess every standard season since time spiral (ignoring post banning Zendikar-Scars) has been bad as well.No, I think it's a bad format when Aggro, Combo, control and midrange are not represented.
I think it's a bad format when you have to play a certain colour to be competitive.
I think it's a bad format when I am unable to find any decks I enjoy playing.
Thus, the only good format is edh

I finished 4-1-2 on my WMCQ with this crazy deck I posted, it work REALLY well. Good combination of removal, interuption, fast clock. However...
had 2 non intentional draws round 2 and 3. Round 2 was playing vs friend playing jund planeswalkers. Game 1 took like 20 minutes, game 2 like 25 minutes. Mega grindy stuff, numerous back and forth from both sides (putrefy spear in combat, charming token to kill courser, tricks on turn/burn, izzet charm on rakdos return, fighting numberous removal spells etc.) We didnt start a 3rd game.
Round 3 playing vs Mono U. Game 1 I lost in 5 minutes, he had weird into specter into 2 masters, I get rid of all masters tokens (with my tokens with spear etc), however he killed me with this specter and then raptor and familiar. Game 2 took 40 minutes. I got really ahead around turn 5, had 3 goats, ajani, brimaz, spear, dictate, attacked him down to 5 life while I had 40. He however dnt condece
but started to put 2 masters, hall of triumph (so killing tokens did nothing and I couldnt overload mortars to get rid of weirds). We played draw go for ~10 turns, he attacking with specter me getting life from goats. He go my spells, I got lands. Finally managed to get overloaded mortars with selesnya charm to kill him. We got 5 minutes, I fast shuffled my agro cards (after game counted had 63 cards in md, didnt have time to resideboard). We both muliganed. I had turn 2 YP, turn 3 RtA into stoke, turn 4 2nd YP and burn his blocker. Got him to 2 on last possible terminate round, he had no board, 2 lands, I had brimaz in hand and spear on top (I had 16 outs to kill him last possible turn, missed everything drawing brimaz). He didnt concede...
I then (and before on 1st round) beat: burn (2-0), black green (2-0), blue white sphere control (2-0) and black white (2-0). I then had 14 points, had to play last round to go to the top 8. (had really good tiebreakers, I was paired up every round. My tierbreakers
were around 70%).
I then lost 0-2 vs Planar cleansing blue white control. Game 1 got him to 2 life 3 times (he used charm lifelink on mutavaults twice) and couldnt find anything in 5 draws to kill him (we were both topdecking, I countered his revelations with izzet charm). Game 2 kept 3 rabblemaster, spear of heliod and 3 lands hand. Didnt do a single point of damage, he had 3 last breaths...
I stayed watching top 8 as my friend (the one I had a draw round 2, he then also got 2nd draw around round 5, managed to get onto top was battling same guy with UW control. He cast 4 thoughtseizes turn 1 and 2 both games, and his opponent had everything, couldnt distrupt or punish everything. Something was fishy...
In semifinals he then got rewarded of game loose by drawing extra cards. On turn 3 on a draw he had 11 cards total. He passed a turn with 8 cards, 7 visible to an opponent, 8th horizontal kept by his thumb. After
someone noticed this and said it to a judge, he shuffled everything (lands and hand) together and said cards were probably sticked together.
I am not saying he cheated in my game or in game vs friend in top 8. He is great player, played really well and optimal. However his reaction was really intriguing (he started to look around asking "who is this fucking squealer", so something might have happened before. vs me game 2 he had 3 Goats, 3 Dissolves (4rd was on a bottom with scry), dispel, 2 negates, 2 verdicts, 1 planar cleansing and 3 last breaths with only 1 divination, 1 jace (drawing 2 cards) and 1 revelation for 4...
Deck was working really well, manabase was awsome. I will try to play black with red and white (dont know if 4rd color is needed, however really liked those negates, turn/burns, izzet charms along Keranos and Ephara. Those cards just give so much options...)

I really want to go either Mono Red or Black aggro when Khans comes out, but it'll depend on what else gets spoiled. They both look so good right now.
Also anyone check out the art: http://imgur.com/a/02NJH#53 The lands look really good compared to the fucking awful Theros ones.

Think those are snow covered lands?I really want to go either Mono Red or Black aggro when Khans comes out, but it'll depend on what else gets spoiled. They both look so good right now.

Looking forward to playing Mardu.I really want to go either Mono Red or Black aggro when Khans comes out, but it'll depend on what else gets spoiled. They both look so good right now.

Why would you sell them?But then why do you own them?
I would just sell them and buy something useful with the money
My cards don't hold any monetary value to me because I have no plans on selling any of them. They're collectibles and I'm a collector. Even if I didn't play eternal formats, I'm not selling my cards.
