There do seem to be quite a number of kitties in some of that art, plus we already have Brimaz and his clan. Do we know anything about Oreskos from the lore? Maybe that's a hint at how Ajani will turn out.

Fuzzy Mammal posted:I always thought the bots just connected to modos IRC backend, but then of course how would they interact with the trading fields. I know some were banned recently for dll injection so the ones that are left must just use UI scripting. The bots actually uses OCR to parse whatever is on the screen at the moment which I find all kinds of hilarious. Then I assume they just fake mouse clicks to interact with the client.

Someone get on making a version that can scrape the UI in the new client. Be the first on the block when they force the old client into retirement and make out like a bandit. I only ask for 5% of gross for this fantastic idea.

Playing Ephara with a blink deck, I will say there is one card I have that just ruins the guy who plays Karametra in my group. Stonehorn Dignitary, woo woo. In general though, there are a number of artifacts and enchantments in all colors to slow her down significantly and at that point, it's a proper race.

AlternateNu posted:My favorite move ever is casting Blasphemous act with Boros Reckoner and Furnace of Wrath out. Here...take 52 damage. I think the fastest I put anyone from fine to tilt was with The Aristocrats, he was playing Naya blitz and dominating the last game, and played just enough creatures that I could afford to play Reckoner, a Blood Artist and cast Blasphemous Act for R, taking something like 22 life. And since someone brought it up from around the OP, some of my favourite cards are Blood Artist and Falkenrath Aristocrat. I like Artist's effect anyway, but in that environment Aristocrat was pretty nuts. And as another aside, I like to have something on my desk to fiddle with, a Transformers toy, a sketch pad, something like that. Right now I've taken to dealing out hands from my newly-assembled Breakfast Burrito deck and trying to combo them off.

The deck in question usually had only its duals and sometimes a gaea's cradle or gavony township for nonbasics and an unpleasantly large pile of forests that Blood Moon doesn't even touch. But really since my deck is Krenko, Mob Boss, I just need to play more goblins and win before the Elesh Norn drops and makes all the goblins die.

Played for the first time in awhile over the weekend, just casual multiplayer stuff. I was blown away by how much money some people spend on their decks, and how ridiculous it is to run up against someone that buys the same decks as Champion winners and then plays them in a kitchen table format. Even though I didn't win any games everyone left with a healthy respect for my BG Gorgon deck. Gaze of Granite is pretty good for dealing with Master of Waves. Everyone scrambled to kill me when I played Hythonia the Cruel too early and I didn't have enough field wipes to hold them off a few rounds longer. Looking forward to Phrika for sure, if only to have one more expensive Gorgon legend in my deck.

Got a choice of GPTs this weekend, can either do Standard about an hour or so from London, or I can go further for a free Block Constructed GPT. Both are for Manchester, and I'm thinking I might have a better chance with monoblack at the block one. I figure the format and distance from London will ofset it being free?

Six of those cards are pre-release promos, one was a release promo, and one was in Heros v Monsters. It's not really surprising that the cards that show up on the most trade lists are bad cards almost everyone is guaranteed to have at least one of. Planar Cleansing and Clone seem to be in the category of "no one is really playing this much but someone might actually want it." There a zillion worse rares but no one feels the need to list them because they just assume no one wants them. It's not really worth the effort to put your Trait Doctorings up for trade.

CODChimera posted:Are Abhorrent Overlord and Shipbreaker Kraken really not that good? 6 or 7 mana is a lot of mana. If you're paying that much mana for something, you want it to be a creature that doesn't just eat a doom blade or Detention Sphere before you even get a chance to attack with it. Blue decks would rather play Aetherling, black decks are doing just fine with cheaper threats like Desecration Demon and Gray Merchant of Asphodel, they don`t really want a 7-drop.

They're not competitive cards is the main thing, but still fun cards in my opinion, which makes them desirable for me. It's just important to remember what's competitive and what isn't is a major determining factor for how widely wanted a card is.

They're pretty badass in draft and sealed, where removal is harder to come by because their impact is loving huge. But yeah in constructed play you tend to want your huge expensive cards to either win you the game immediately (actual wins like Craterhoof Behemoth or de facto wins like Cruel Ultimatum), be resilient/resistant to removal (e.g. Aetherling, Emrakul the Aeons Torn, Spiritmonger for something further back) , or to give you value before your opponent can even react (Grave Titan, Angel of Serenity). The best fatties often do more than one of these things.

CODChimera posted:Are Abhorrent Overlord and Shipbreaker Kraken really not that good? In Constructed, the rule of thumb is that your 6+ costing card better either be hard to kill(for example, Aetherling), or give you value even if it gets killed immediately, (Craterhoof Behemoth) Abhorrent overlord actually gets kind of close to the second one with the army of tokens, but it's not scary enough for a 7 drop on its own and the numbers of tokens is too conditional.

Ahh ok, that makes sense. I have quite a few big creatures in my black/blue deck at the moment(Abhorrent, Eater of Hope, Lord of the Void, Champion of Stray Souls) mainly because they look interesting or a lack of choices. I'm just casually playing for now so I've got a lot to learn anyway. Definitely going to try and get a Desecration Demon at some point though. I really like the devotion mechanic and hope they bring in more cards with it. Addicting stuff!
