PleasantDirge posted:I don't understand what they think they are fixing by creating a slightly less broken version of Snapcaster Mage. This is always going to remind red players of how they're not quite as fancy and cool as blue players. The cycle already exists, though. Stoneforge Mystic, Snapcaster Mage, Dark Confidant, Young Pyromancer, Tarmogoyf.

Entropic posted:Tarmogoyf isn't a 2/1, it doesn't count. Stoneforge is a 1/2, though... I do agree that Tarmogoyf is an odd fit, though, at least in terms of creative concept; it's the only member of the "cycle" that isn't a humanoid magic user.

I understand the comparisons to Snapcaster Mage, but it's really just Reverberate on a body not a less broken Snapcaster Mage. It wouldn't cost less than the spell it's based on.

Silver2195 posted:Stoneforge is a 1/2, though... You're right. 1G Tarmomage Creature - Human Wizard Tarmomage's power is equal to all types of cards in all graveyards, and its toughness is equal to that number plus 1. */*+1 There, now you can run eight of them.

I still think Goblin Recruiter is the most broken red 2-drop creature ever. I mean it is the only one of the "cycle" that's banned in Legacy...

Applebees posted:I understand the comparisons to Snapcaster Mage, but it's really just Reverberate on a body not a less broken Snapcaster Mage. It wouldn't cost less than the spell it's based on. Snapcaster Mage is a Recoup that can hit instants as well, and it has the same CMC. Tiago Chan kept pushing really hard to print a broken blue card and eventually Wizards gave up and said fine, he could have Snapcaster Mage. PhyrexianLibrarian posted:I still think Goblin Recruiter is the most broken red 2-drop creature ever. I mean it is the only one of the "cycle" that's banned in Legacy... It's not iconic enough because it's banned, and it only works in Goblins. The others in the cycle all work in a much more diverse pile of decks, and Young Peezy works in basically "anything with blue".

I really want to use Feldon to reanimate that reef worm over and over and over. And since I'm already in blue I get to use intruder alarm or other shenanigans to make it happen more than once a turn. Also going to grixis colors gives access repeatable disciple of bolas tokens (and other assorted shenanigans) which I am all about. Having recently run into a fauna shaman with illusionist's bracers on, putting those on Feldon seems really really fun.

I don't know if the worst thing is that Freyalise is unplayable garbage or that they let some 8 year old fingerpaint her art. gently caress you, Wizards. This is worse than new-age slivers.

None of them are particularly good, are they? They all look like they went super conservative on the power level because of being able to constantly bring them back if they're your commander. None of them even look like very fun build-around-mes if you are using them as commanders.

Am I missing something or is Teferi's ultimate really bad and not worth -10ing for? I guess in a 4 player game it lets you +4 him him every turn cycle, but it feels like if you protected him long enough to get to -10 you should have already been winning anyway. I'm sure he'll be popular with the "let's all durdle for four hours" school of EDH players though.

You're immediately ticking up again and getting lots of value in a hurry, plus it works with any other Planeswalkers you may have.

Snacksmaniac posted:There are a couple of other turn two Modern wins though. We've been over this before but it's about the consistency of the decks. The other turn 2 decks are even less consistent that Ascendancy and If Ascendancy doesn't go off on Turn 2 it's almost guaranteed to go off on Turn 3 which is still an inconsistent thing for most other Combo decks in Modern.

But really, after Guay does art on a card, do you really think many others could measure up? And I think the art looks great, so I don't know what you're even on about. As for playability, whatever it's green and has card draw
