Unless I'm reading it wrong, it seems you don't know what format you are playing until after you enter the event.

Entomb, Burning Wish, Cabal therapy, and Genesis are all over 10 bucks on http://mtg.dawnglare.com/?p=viz Mtgo prices are probably somewhat the same. Cabal Coffers, Ichorid, Mirari's Wake and Cunning Wish are all decent for money as well.

Can you bestow Herald of Torment on Baneslayer Angel? I have no idea if you're supposed to consider it as a demon after you've chosen to cast it as an aura (since it isn't a creature at that point, I think?).

Yeah reading it again it sounds like you're right, which stinks but I guess is in keeping with the "oh man WACKY april fools" theme. No one wants to draft all coresets though when those other sweet options are available :\

I have no idea if you're supposed to consider it as a demon after you've chosen to cast it as an aura (since it isn't a creature at that point, I think?). From what I understand from the comprehensive rules, first you choose which mode of a spell you're using, then you choose targets. So because you choose to cast it as a aura first, it doesn't have a creature type at the point that you choose targets, so Baneslayer won't be an invalid target.

Count Bleck posted:It's an aura when you cast for bestow. Yeah, I think this is right. When it's an Aura it's not a creature, and Demon is a creature type. This stuff is why the Tribal supertype was needed to put creature types on other type cards.

And if it drops off the enchanted creature when it dies, and becomes a creature, it's not 'entering the battlefield' as a creature correct? So for example, Champion of the Parish would never get the +1 for a bestowed Nyxborn Shieldmate?

MTGO thinks it isn't allowed, I just have no idea if that's a bug or if it's supposed to work that way.

So for example, Champion of the Parish would never get the +1 for a bestowed Nyxborn Shieldmate? Yeah, it always was on the battlefield, it just changes types. Which is also why it can attack immediately, assuming it's been on the battlefield for a turn already.

bhsman posted:Here's Aatrek's posts on the deck: Regarding the Spirit of the Labyrinth problem, can't you just do everything else, play the Maniac, and cycle Street Wraith in the next upkeep? Or are there enough Slaughter Pacts out there that you can't rely on that? On a similar point, is Firedrinker Satyr good in a way I don't understand? Because it seems to be a 2/1 for 1 with pretty serious downside and an overcosted firebreathing, and I just can't see how you get value from it, yet it seems to be somewhat sought after, people want to use it.

Reading MaRo's newest article on how Heliod got designed and there are several designs in there that would have see a lot more play I think than what we ended up with. My personal favs:quote:Heliod (version 11)

I do find it humorous that the Zeus of Theros isn't as good as some random shitfuck who just attained Godhood.

I haven't tried drafting in the MTGO beta client in forever. Is it normal for the tournament page to show all matches including yours as 0-0 even after you've won the round and are just waiting on the other games? And for it to say "Waiting for more players to join the queue" at the bottom of the tournament page after you've finished your round 1 games?

Also, I kind of want to do the Sliver event, if only to go all in on the Necrotic Sliver deck.

Sorry but I think it's fair to say part of the problem is people who think the client sucks still pay for it, giving WOTC no incentive to improve or make it better since they are continuing to get your money

After playing Hearthstone and having the client run really smoothly without taking a ton of resources for no reason or randomly crashing for no reason I somehow hate the wide beta client even more than I ever thought I could.

When the Mike Jordan's of your game are tweeting about how lovely your product is, that becomes real incentive to improve.

I only ever use MTGO to occasionally draft (then sell the cards to fund future drafts) or the odd Momir game. I can't imagine investing in Standard or Modern on it. It's nice to be able to draft DGR again on a whim, cause where the hell else am I going to do that? But every time I use it I'm reminded of why I use it so infrequently.
