Notable cards when drafting Innistrad?
Limited forum

Me and some friends are doing innistrad draft. Are there any cards that I should look out for?
Snapcaster Mage and Geist of Saint Traft are both pretty decent cards ;)

quesobueno123 neither would I. Those cards are actually terrible cards. The magic illuminati has fooled everyone that they are good so they can remain on top with the actually big threats like Thraben Purebloods

quesobueno123 I never drafted Innistrad so im not very sure about the limited format, but i guess Think Twice, Spectral Flight, Spare from Evil, Selfless Cathar, Doomed Traveler, Delver of Secrets Flip, Spectral Rider, Invisible Stalker, Curiosity and Fiend Hunter are good cards..

OK, to speak about Innistrad, it is not about cards, but about archetypes. Here are the article to take a look at:

There is a part two to that as well. Generally GW aggro and Self mill are the strongest archetypes, but anything works really, it is a balanced environment.

Curse of the Bloody Tome and Curse of the Pierced Heart can get out of hand, especially with multiples of either. Bloody Tome more so. It basically gives them a 10-11 turn clock completely on its own in a set without a ton of enchantment removal. At common rarity... Throw in even a little bit more mill and some control/bounce and your deck is looking fierce. Pierced Heart is slower, but you're in red, and it keeps the pressure on when they stabilize

Spectral Flight is the best enchantment in limited. period. And if it isn't it is extremely good. Take it if you can.
Other very notable cards include Liliana of the Veil, Snapcaster Mage, Geist of Saint Traft and [Garruk, the veil cursed.

awesomeguy37 Eh, it's ok, but it's certainly no Armadillo Cloak.

It is pretty good, the reason I love it so much is I won an innistrad draft with 2x Spectral Flight as +2+2 and flying for 2 is no joke. Armadillo Cloak is even better though...

I went 3-1 got 3rd and a zendikar pack. Nothing very notable for trades.

It was Jund midrange. It worked pretty well, lost to U/B/G self mill.

All of them. Innistrad is one of the most balanced and well designed sets for limited. Learn all the archetypes there are there, generally one per color pair, and try to settle in early on.
Liliana of the Veil is a cvard to look out for ;)
