Spiderdrake posted:Frog in a Blender is good, since it expresses the idea, but isn't Team America the one that isn't UWR? That one baffles me, since 'America control' was around in apocalypse era. Yeah, Team America is BUG. The name was a European players' joke about playing the best cards the Americans weren't playing in Legacy, or something like that.

They've announced more about the Magic film Fox is producing. Specifically, they've announced that the script writer is a producer / writer from Game of Thrones, Bryan Cogman.

Team America was an ironic name for a European made deck that had small, less flashy effects (in comparison to the American decks of the time, which went bigger).

My favorite deck name from back in the day was "Thanks for Playing" which from what I remember was built around nothing but bounce and countermagic.

People argue over why the deck was named Team America but the version I have heard most frequently is that it's because it was a deck full of cards American legacy players weren't playing with.

Combo named after breakfast are almost twice as old as the Legacy format. Anyone who doesn't like that should learn some history, scrubbos. Oops! All Spells is clearly a better name than Breakfast Burrito, btw

Here's something... odd. Magic 2015 Sample decks quote:Did you know that for the past several years, Wizards of the Coast has provided 30-card sample decks to stores and organizations as an easy way for players to learn Magic? So there's "M15 Legal cards" that aren't being printed in M15. Serra angel, Inspired Charge, Aegis Angel, Divine Verdict Mahamoti Djinn, Cancel Walking Corpse, Sengir Vampire, Nightmare Seismic Strike, Shivan Dragon, Furnace Whelp Terra Stomper, Garruk's Packleader, Centaur Courser e: Chorocojo informs me they've done this before, thanks red

New Gatherer is from the web design school of "well it looks fancy enough". On my widescreen monitor, only the middle third of the screen is used, and I'm not even sure it's a whole third.Zorak posted:e: Chorocojo informs me they've done this before, thanks red I remember stuff from Zendikar in some of the precons, but making those cards legal in M15 standard even if they aren't in M15 booster packs? I can't remember a card ever being legal in Standard that wasn't in a Standard-legal booster pack. Not that these are tournament-worthy cards these days.

From a Standard viewpoint there's not much point in having Cancel back in immediately after taking out. Especially when Dissolve is a strictly better Cancel. We'll probably get Negate or Mana Leak instead. Or maybe something new. Kinda doubt that though. Functional Reprint of Mana Leak to go with an all new Non-Jace Blue Planeswalker? I can only dream.

Beaten, but I'm guessing these cards fit some sort of role in the starter decks and it allows Wizards more leeway in designing starter decks without A) taking up core set spots and B) having a situation where new players are told their cards are illegal.

Eighth and Ninth Edition had additional cards in its starter product that weren't in Eight or Ninth Editions themselves. They're legal for all things the sets are legal in but you just couldn't open them in packs. It is entirely because of the old "Here you go, learn to play. Good job. Your deck isn't legal for FNM for reasons you didn't know about."

I'm aware, but Trix is a terrible name whether or not there was a trend at the time to name decks after breakfast cereals at the time(there was) and even though there is a rabbit in the art of Illusions of Grandeur.

For Magic Celebration Day last summer my LGS did a side event where you bought in for $1, chose a random M14 sample deck, and played a few rounds of Swiss. It was surprisingly fun, though I wish they'd had enough for everyone to pick two and shuffle them together.

You know I'm actually kind of annoyed that Centaur Courser is a thing. I mean,I know it's not really constructed playable anyway, but it's like they went out of their way to say "no you can't play this kickass full-art creature we went to all the trouble of printing". Yeah sure Nessian Courser is in Theros, but it looks like even then we're going to keep getting the card that only has boring art being the one in core sets.
