So when is Baron Sengir gonna get his planeswalker spark so he can have crazy adventures turning dwarves into vampires or whatever instead of just chilling out in his castle wondering where his castle basement portal goes? Or better yet, Squee, Goblin Planeswalker

There's already a still-living planeswalker from Homelands that I want to show up: Sandruu. He's a minotaur planeswalker.

Wizards' fear of Doubling Season due to how it interacts with Planeswalkers is funny to me. The two paired together can result in some really bonkers stuff, but it's not like we've ever seen it as some kind of viable deck or anything. The combo of Delver of Secrets and Spells is far more fearsome and was played in every possible format it could appear in. Doubling Season Superfriends hasn't shown up anywhere because, you know, it just isn't all that consistent even if it's on occasion powerful.

My buddy lost to it at GP vegas limited. Search for tomorrow -> t4 doubling season -> t5 Sarkhan + ultimate -> t6 swing 32 in the air, haha. One in a million I guess.

TheKingofSprings posted:So what you're saying is standard is doomed to be bad forever. I'm saying Modern is why we can't have nice things in Standard. Standard could probably handle Force of Will, it would arguably be less format-warping than Thoughtseize, but there's no way they're unleashing it on Modern and they don't want print cards they have to pre-ban.

Doubling Season Superfriends has shown up anywhere because, you know, it just isn't all that consistent even if it's on occasion powerful. This is exactly my opinion-- people love to point out how bonkers it is to drop some planeswalkers right into an ultimate, which is a fair point, but the fact that it requires a separate five-mana, easily destroyed, otherwise do-nothing permanent doesn't seem to register to them as far as how that controls the potential format impact of such a combo. e: like if you're talking about two-card combos that involve large amounts of mana spread across two turns, Splinter Twin is straight up better in pretty much every way yet wasn't ipso facto degenerate in Standard, nor is in Modern.

Never, because they basically took everything anyone actually liked about the Homelands setting and threw it into Innistrad.

They must realize the name still has a lot of nostalgic cachet, otherwise they wouldn't still do callbacks to it. Giving the Baron a planeswalker wouldn't require going back to Homelands, in fact it would literally help free him from it. Not saying they'll do it anytime soon or ever, just saying that isn't a reason for them not to do it. vvv now I really want a Planeswalker that's a sentient scroll or other magical artifact, unfortunately it'll never happen because all their planeswalkers need to be ~*~relatable~*~ to moody young adults JerryLee fucked around with this message at 01:54 on May 8, 2014 |

Phiberoptik posted:So, As an online player looking to get into paper, should I buy this to get some bulk commons/uncommons? Almost definitely not. They'll almost certainly be unplayable and sit around collecting dust until you yourself put them on Kijiji for $50, and the circle of life continues. Shows like Storage Wars have changed collection buying. Either a seller knows what they have and expect to get SCG retail prices, or they don't know what they have and their collection gets snapped up five minutes after being posted, or someone comes along and takes anything worth more than a dollar. Or, the third option, someone expects to sell their old collection of Homelands and Chronicles for $1 per card.

Just sort of browsing around tcgplayer, do people actually buy the 550 dollar booster crates? I'd assume ACTUAL game stores get their stuff directly from Wizards or a supplier and not secondhand.

The headstart prerelease thing is confusing, likely because I'm overthinking it. Is it basically "log into beta client, play" in ~15 hours?

Pretty excited that I can't play for the next couple days since I'm using the older client. I could just download the wide beta client but haha no.

From the sounds of it, they're aiming to switch everyone over to the beta client full time before M15 comes out. Lord knows how many more delays there are between now and then, but they're definitely pushing to retire the v3 client sooner rather than later.

It's pretty funny that instead of making the new client more appealing they're just finding ways to make it more difficult to use the old one.

I really don't care for the UI at all, but visual preferences aside it runs like poo poo and crashes for no reason at all. It runs worse than big budget AAA games. Oh the way that it shifts everything on the battlefield when you play stuff out is also really shabby.

The practical difference is that "The old version is going away in July" is not the same as "Cutting to the chase, if everything goes as expected, we plan to..." Particularly when you are dealing with a thing that has been through both a total platform switch and months upon months upon months of delays already.
