Prerelease tourneys are the same deal. Most of the time, you just play with cards that run good in draft formats, since you don't need to worry about the speediest setup ever. I had a R/W/Bu deck at the Guildpact prerelease that was an odd Gelectrode build. But thanks to all the stupid cheap blue spells, it was a deadly force. When it worked. I did better at Dissention with Bu/G and Bl/R, simply because I ran for consistancy and power over speed. Sealed tourneys are won by players who can make consistant decks out of cards that are crap in constructed. That 1/1 flying for two that no one considers in constructed can be deadly in limited, simply because it can often be pumped and it is more difficult to deal with.
(Oddly enough, this was proven by the mass usage of Seal of Fire, Bond of Agony, and stupid kill. I won more often by disabling weak opposition than by trying to outrun it, that's for sure.)
So, Brooding Saurian says Sky Swallower is now a playable card - hell, it makes Sky Swallower into a card you want to play. Discuss.
