The first five-color Planeswalker should obviously be the new Karn, with the full power of the Legacy Weapon at his disposal.

It's definitely a bit susceptible to bad draws, but with primary green + Caryatid/Coursers the deck actually casts Chromanticore on T4 or T5 pretty reliably.

That's an absolutely plausible name for the community to give something like Wurmcoil Engine if it came in black. Speaking of tumblr faux pas, anyone else accidentally go to DougBeyer.Tumblr.Com instead of DougBeyerMTG.tumblr.com?

Chromanticore gets killed by all of the enchant removal that people board in to deal with Detention Sphere. Having your finisher die to incidental enchantment removal no es bueno.

The original Convoke reminder text was "Each creature you tap while playing this spell reduces its cost by 1 or by one mana of that creature's color" The new reminder text is functionally pretty much fine, but technically wrong by the comp. rules on Convoke.

“For each colored mana in this spell’s total cost, you may tap an untapped creature of that color you control rather than pay that mana. For each generic mana in this spell’s total cost, you may tap an untapped creature you control rather than pay that mana.” Like I said, it basically works probably 99%+ of the time, but it isn't technically paying the mana.  I'm not even sure if there is a case it doesn't work.

For each generic mana in this spell’s total cost, you may tap an untapped creature you control rather than pay that mana.” The reminder text says "pays for 1" rather than just "pays 1", maybe that "for" means it's paying in place of mana rather than that it's actually paying mana? Whether mana is actually being spent matters for Nix, if nothing else.

I don't actually think this artifact Convoking is going to end up nearly as broken as Affinity. It's a neat design but not broken in the least.

I smiled at the "Your creatures can help cast this spell" wording. Reminds me of Obsidian Fireheart's "The land continues to burn after Obsidian Fireheart has left the battlefield."

neetengie posted:Gonna be streaming Vintage Dredge, would like advice from players of the archetype since I'm new to it. Never, ever keep a hand without Bazaar of Baghdad. Once you have Bazaar it's a matter of activating them as early as possible and dredging as much as possible until you learn about some of the fiddlier interactions, and going off as soon as possible with your Sun Titans or Griselbrand. Also, I know LSV posted a list without restricted cards in it, but a Dredge deck should have a Lion's Eye Diamond, Mox Sapphire, and an Ancestral Recall (if you can afford the latter two, it's OK if you can't).

Vintage Tendrils looks hard as gently caress to play.neetengie posted:Gonna be streaming Vintage Dredge, would like advice from players of the archetype since I'm new to it. You can solitaire a few games to get a feel for the win condition, which requires almost no real interaction with your opponent. You'll win like 80% of your Game 1s on a base Dredge deck because the deck is literally the best deck in MTG pre-sideboarding. Sometimes people will manage to Key-Vault you or vomit Power 9 at you and then hit you with Oath, but mostly you see opponents conceding on Turn 2 or 3 because you're about to swing for 40. Game 2 and 3 are all about figuring out what kind of hate they're running and stopping it early. If your opponents first move is mulling down to 5 or less, you should be aware they're digging hard for hate cards, which you need to answer. Unfortunately, it can be heard to figure out what hate they're actually running, because it comes in the form of Ravenous Trap (an instant), Rest in Peace or Leyline of the void(enchantments) or Grafdigger's cage/Nihil Spellbomb/Tormod's Crypt. Grafdigger's Cage is the most common simply because its cheap and persistent. Angry Grimace fucked around with this message at 03:12 on Jun 28, 2014 |

Have we discussed the return of Convoke in concert with the relatively uninspired previous options for the Inspired mechanic yet? Because it seems like there might be some synergy there. Obelisk of Urd, I'm looking at you in particular.
