We know that Ugin's "thing" is being colorless but not an artifact, and face-down Morph creatures are the only other colorless nonland nonartifacts (other than Eldrazi). Maybe Dewey will have a "Colorless Matters" subtheme, which will interact with both Khans' Morph creatures and Louie's Ugin cards?

I imagine an Ugin Planeswalker card would be colorless for design-space, flavor and playability reasons. It increases the number of decks can actually use it, particularly in a world where the large set is a multi-colored thing. Back to Hatechat: Blue/Red Elemental Blasts were another example of relatively bullshit hate cards WOTC was printing back in Alpha.

That's pretty good. So, ftv:annihilation. Who's LGS is wishfully asking >= $75 for it? I just got one on ebay for $40. What a stinker this year...

My LGS had 5 available at $50, threw one into the prize pool for the Modern GPT they were hosting, and still have a few more. They said the price was going up after those 5 but not by that much. I don't know how much they're asking now though since I haven't swung by since I got mine at $50. I don't think it's a bad set but I'll admit it doesn't seem as good as some of the other's. I probably wouldn't have been able to afford it if it were though.  Plus it's all shiny and it has fun things I can use in Commander.

Yeah I mean, it's still a cool product with cool cards and I like it. It's just not what we've come to expect. Also I'm kinda glad they're not hundreds of dollars for once. This is the one product that butts heads with the reserved list the hardest I think. Notable potential future centerpiece worthy non-reserved list cards: Wasteland, (FTV: Lands 2 E.B.) Rishadan Port, (FTV: Lands 2 E.B.) Karakas, (FTV: Lands 2 E.B.) Force of Will, (FTV: Counterspells) Mana Drain, (FTV: Counterspells) Imperial Seal, (FTV: Tutors) Goyf, (FTV: Fatties) LotV, (FTV: Walker All Stars)

Walkers would immediately start flipping for $250+ since it'd probably also have JTMS alongside 13 other Walkers and people are crazy for that. Fatties would probably also contain Emrakul and Griselbrand. What are some other things Fatties would have in it?

Death Bot posted:Foil, Full-Art Delver Would this be done like flip cards, or are you envisioning full-sided on both sides? Speaking of which, why did transform take precedence over flip cards? Flips were already a really elegant solution to the problem that they created with having the cards be double-sided and sleeved, and I have no idea why they introduced transform other than to really hammer in the flavor or out of fear of revisiting a mechanic, both of which are terrible excuses for the pain in the rear end that was transform.

Heavy Lobster posted:Would this be done like flip cards, or are you envisioning full-sided on both sides? They did transform so that they actually have room in the text box for rules. You couldn't do Garruk Relentless as a flip card. And of course once you're doing transform for some cards you're going to do it for all of them in the set, rather than having some cards transform and some cards flip, even if some of them have little enough text that they could technically be done as flip cards.

Heavy Lobster posted:Would this be done like flip cards, or are you envisioning full-sided on both sides? Because people hated flip cards because they were ugly, each side didn't have much space for rules text, and you couldn't tell which side it was when it was tapped. Transform cards were very popular, though.

Flip cards are terrible pieces of poo poo that look like someone took the outline of a Magic card, let Andy Warhol at it, and then had Willy Burroughs do the flavor text. They were terrible and transform cards are better in every way. If Flip cards are Chroma, Transform is Devotion.

Honestly, I thought all the Flip art was kinda neat, since it conveyed a lot of information about the nature of the card in a very small space, but I guess I can also agree that it's more novel than it is actually good.

Just finished playing in an SCG open qualifier. Got 4th by accurately predicting the meta would be full of rabble red and azorius control. I picked Selesnyaggro. No regrets. Lost a match to mono black aggro (which I'm super favored in, but was stuck on 1 green with 2 advents in hand.)

Gensuki posted:I am an awful person who taps to the left when attacking, but to the right when activating abilities. This... actually kinda makes sense. At least it's better than the friend of mine who does like a 30-degree tilt instead of a full tap so he can untap lands easier. He doesn't cheat at all, and he's definitely Into any given game enough to know the state of everything at any given time, but it's kinda frustrating to have to ask for clarity of his lands, because it almost always gives away whether I have a counterspell ready or not.

Last week, I started playing with my mat facing the opponent(dragon fighting giant with store name printed on it), lands front and facing my opponent. Creatures at back of lands, facing them as well. Library at back right of mat, cards upside down in my sleeves, which have the picture of the back of the magic card on them.

No, but he is an enormous sperg (plays a bunch of HARD lockdown decks in kitchen table play and doesn't get why nobody wants to play with him unless he plays a different deck), so, close.

Didn't the original patent for Magic describe tapping as rotating 90o counter-clockwise? I've always tapped my stuff that way because it's the correct way.

Technically, you could be a huge rear end in a top hat and signify tapping by putting a counter on the permanent. edit: gotta quote it because it sounds so insane: the magic patent posted:In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, the step of executing a turn includes the step of tapping a mana card when it is used by turning the mana card approximately 90 degrees from an original position or orientation on a playing surface to thereby flag the card to all other players that the card is in use; and further including a step of untapping mana cards at the end of a turn by turning the mana card back to its original position to thereby unflag the card to all other players that the card is now available for use. Turning the card at other angles such as 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 60 degrees or other angle may also be done to flag a card. Flagging may also be accomplished by marking the card with nondestructive, removable markers or other similar method. Babylon Astronaut fucked around with this message at 06:53 on Aug 28, 2014 |

Yea, tap creatures to the left and put pogs with the various tap symbols on the lands. The sideways T, the tap symbol on a rectangle, all of them with no rhyme or reason. Keep the card from your draw step upside-down in front of you until your second main phase ala the famous cruel ultimatum topdeck.
