I actually did the art for the FoW reprint and I asked them why they needed Ojutai doing such a smug pose, as I thought the rough draft looked like a typical counterspell. Ken Nagle pulled me into his secret sky fortress (not an underground lair because the ground is the graveyard and there lies dredge!!!!) and relayed to me the secret cardboard wizard code, "the Crow caws at midnight" I ran this through Google translator from English to German to Russian and then back to English and it said Force of Will Reprint!!!!

The new Zurgo seems amazing. I need to go buy a playset of bloodstained mires because man I want to play Mardu heroes.

What would the EV of a pack of DTK be at release if they reprinted Force of Will in it?

Well that certainly is a 2/2 for 1 in red with upside  The only question is how many you're prepared to run given it's legendary, I suspect the answer will be either 3 or 4 because it's amazing.Nice to see a shoutout to Ironclaw Orcs too, a weirdly iconic card in its own way.

I won't be surprised if there's a surprise red dragon mythic since red-dragon badasses is a standard MTG thing. Granted, there's only 4 unrepresented mythics here if you count Ojutai and Atarka.

I feel like fows would drop like a rock if they were printed at standard large set quantities but not modern legal. Anyone smart would just wait out a price drop at that point too.

When Sligh first came out it was dominant, because that deck invented the idea of a mana curve. I played Ironclaw Orcs two years ago in a Legacy Tribal Wars tournament that had a special price for anyone who went 2-1 with a deck using only cards from the first five sets in Magic history. That one didn't work, but I managed to go 2-1 with a land-destruction Bird tribal deck the next week. I had to run Bird Maiden because those early sets do not have many birds.

So between Zurgo, Swiftspear, Foundry Street denizen, and lightning berserker, sligh is looking like it is going to be pretty good after this set for a while. add in dragon fodder and outburst and there is a really good base right there.

Denizen is part of M15, unfortunately, and won't survive rotation without a reprint. That said, there's also stuff like Heelcutter, Wild Slash, and Break Through the Lines.

You can only have one on the battlefield so why would you ever want more than one in your deck?

Swagger Dagger posted:You can only have one on the battlefield so why would you ever want more than one in your deck? Because you'd like to actually draw it in your opening hand in a decent number of games. You don't want 4, since drawing multiples sucks, but only having 1 isn't that great either since you won't get to open with it very much.

The problem with Sligh is that the last set had Bile Blight, Drown in Sorrow and Anger of the Gods and the current set has a billion cards with incidental life gain or lifelink and you now have to play green to get a Skullcrack effect.

forbidden lesbian posted:like you don't want multiples at all? are they saying you should only run one? Besides the "Guys, Isamaru was a 4x in Zoo" comments, the highest I've seen was 2x. And yeah, the logic is you can't play more than one. What is statistical probability of drawing it every opening hand. What is removal.

In the short term I probably only want 2 to help replace Firedrinker, but beyond that I could see him as a 4-of much like Isamaru in the old Ravnica Zoo lists.Angry Grimace posted:The problem with Sligh is that the last set had Bile Blight, Drown in Sorrow and Anger of the Gods and the current set has a billion cards with incidental life gain or lifelink and you now have to play green to get a Skullcrack effect. The good news is that everyone still insists on running taplands and enemy painlands for some reason.  EDIT: Irony Be My Shield posted:The legendary drawback doesn't seem too awful unless you draw three of them, you often want to sandbag a creature (especially a hasty one) and Bile Blight makes multiples of the same creature unattractive anyway. Given the choice, I would rather draw 3 copies of Zurgo in a game than 3 Firedrinkers with how prevalent red is becoming. bhsman fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Mar 5, 2015 |
