Sleep of Bronze posted:Hm. They don't usually admit this sort of thing until the cards are out of Standard, do they? (At least not if the cards have avoided being so unhealthy as to eat a ban.) That's sort of misrepresenting the point. quote:Two of our mistakes in Theros block were Thoughtseize and Courser of Kruphix, and not just because of the cards' power level. Both cards are very powerful, but also reveal a ton of information. It wasn't uncommon for both players to know every card in his or her opponent's hand by the end of turn three and for the game to then play out face up. I don't think we will be shying away from powerful discard in the future, but I don't expect us to print powerful cards like Courser of Kruphix that reveal a lot of information about the top of the library very often. He's not saying they were too powerful to print, but that they reveal too much information that's supposed to be hidden, taking away strategy and bluffing potential.

Well, Maro is a noted idiot. I'd be more inclined to side with Sam. Miracles were unfun garbage and nobody but a 12 year old wants them back.

The flavor is super awesome - Feldon was a red-aligned artificer who tried to resurrect his dead wife as an automaton.BJPaskoff posted:That's sort of misrepresenting the point. But he says that and then they printed Mardu Charm (instant speed discard) and Despise to go along with Thoughtseize. Without seeing his article, I don't get the problem with Courser. It gives away information, sure, but that's a a drawback for the person playing Courser getting Courser's effect.

Best I can think of is Grinning Innis giving you 2R, but you have to pay R and bounce it to do so. I love that art, it reminds me of old school hand drawn Magic art but maybe it's because I'm looking at it on my phone.

Blightsteel gets shuffled away "instead" of being put into your graveyard, so that doesn't work. The Eldrazi, on the other hand, shuffle "when" they are put into the graveyard, so they do land in the graveyard just long enough for you to build a robot Emrakul.

Wtf, I walked away for 10 minutes and there are over a hundred posts. For once it was legitimate "poo poo went down plus spoilers". gently caress Bertoncini. I was so irrationally angry every time I saw his name on SCG's player championship leaderboard thing. How amazing is it that now he can't go when I'm pretty sure he had his spot locked up?

^ Sadly, you still need a way to filter to red.mango sentinel posted:
It's trivial to make it one fewer card (with another 2U enchantment, even!) by using Intruder Alarm. Does mean you have to use the attack step to win, though, and it still isn't mono-red.
