Which Shadowmoor cards are the best in the world of infinite mana and one spell per turn? As a player of Type 4 you probably want to know what to draft and what sweet new combos to look out for. You’ll get plenty of that here, with the Top 22 cards organized by how high they will usually be drafted.

I can't say I agreed with everything Paul had to say, but he did bring me up to speed on a couple uncommons that I hadn't seen before.

Want to talk about type 4 here?Yes, is Type 4 done with packs, 'old' packs consisting of crap rares, or a pile?

It's a pre-constructed stack, like you'd use for cube drafting.

Short version:

Type 4 - Limited format (with a given set of cards) where you can draft your deck. You draw 5 cards rather than 7 to begin with, you each have infinite mana (!), and you play one spell a turn (barring alternate-cost cards like Force of Will, which don't count).

Paul's stack and Kevin Cron's stack are about the dumbest things you've ever seen (and also some of the pimpest). Doug Linn (hi-val!) also made Really Good Looking Tutor, which reads something like this:

Really Good Looking Tutor
Sorcery
As an additional cost to pay Really Good Looking Tutor, complement an opponent of your choice.
Search your library for any card and put it into your hand. If you complement the creator of Really Good Looking Tutor, search your library for any two cards and put them into your hand.

And so on. The format's pretty wild.
