Elyv posted:Ugin's Nexus has to do with extra turns, I think that by itself automatically makes it mythic these days. Magosi, the Waterveil, Search the City, and Time Sieve are rares that grant extra turns that were introduced after the mythic rarity. Still, 9 mythic rares do deal with extra turns, and it's never been below rare.

Time Sieve and Magosi were both printed right after the introduction of mythics, I don't think they'd hashed out exactly what they wanted to be mythic yet. Fair point on Search the City, I forgot that card exists(I wish I could forget again).

Read that first ability closely...

alphabrawl posted:Also, is selling cards on the convention center floor a thing? I have a binder full of lands I want to get rid of. Yeah there's plenty of guys walking around with cash to spare. Nobody really cares but don't be too obvious about it. You can always offer to step out of the room if you're worried but that's just a hassle. Being caught getting handed a $20 is as easy as saying its for lunch but $200 on the other hand..

She really does have a fantastic visual design, though. Wizards, please print her and her faction on more cards so that I can have a Mono-Machine Orthodoxy deck, tia. (Seriously that Rout from Conspiracy is gorgeous).

I really like Tom Ross's logic regarding replacing the Rabblemasters with Hordeling Outburst as a meta-call against decks heavy on individual removal, whereas Rabblemaster allows you to bait out the sweeper and then re-set fairly quickly. EDIT: The fact that Outburst turns Denizen into a 4/1 while triggering Swiftspear's Prowess is great, and following it up with Hall of Triump is great.

If the second ability were worded like Academy Rector's, then that wouldn't work either... The original nonbo wouldn't go infinite either, it's just a convenient way to trigger it a few extra times... which you can still do, as long as you can find some way of sacrifing all your nexuses in the same turn. It doesn't prevent you from getting an extra turn, it just stops you from beginning it. I think there are a few additional ways to actually go infinite, but they're all a lot clunkier than Prototype Portal.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0ivQDZx1BM The dude with the Alpha Lotus had it graded at 9.5. I don't think there is an actual 10 to be given out, so dude's making cash. But let's not forget he could have made a lot MORE cash by not opening Alpha-Unlimited sealed product and just selling it as is.
