So this won't make any sense to non-Magicers, but... Fun card combos I found at last week's Release: Stuffy Doll + Fatal Attraction. Fatal Attraction + Paradox Haze. Stuffy Doll + Fatal Attraction + Paradox Haze.
I had all three cards in my sealed deck, plus Jhoira and a number of other sold Red, Blue, and green spells. In particular I had a Sporesower Thallid and two Sporolith Ancients, which by themselves meant lots of Saprolings, and just got sick with a Haze. I never got to play Fatal Attraction on Stuffy, but something like that ends games. Stuff + Attraction + Haze is an unstoppable 9 damage a turn; even without the Haze it's 5 points a turn.
At one point I had a Haze out and my opponent dropped a big beater, a 4/4 Ephemeron or something. Then I played Attraction on his beater, and he replied in kind by buffing his beater to 6 or 7 toughness. Which would have been fine, except that the Haze caused the Attraction to go off twice, dealing out 8 damage to his beater.
Red/Blue is probably my favorite combination for the Time Block, followed by Blue/Black.
The release was a lot of fun, and I came out second. I got 4 packs, $15, and a lifecounter as my prize. Not bad.
