Mikujin posted:Gideon isn't from Theros, though. Nissa is the only planeswalker of those in Origins whose home plane we know of (and will visit). At least according to Wizards. I think what they meant is "we only know which plane Nissa is from" rather than "only Nissa is from a plane we've seen before". I'd expect at least a couple of them to be from already-existing planes.

I think you're misunderstanding. They said the only one that's been revealed is Nissa, and in fact many of them are planes were ones we knew about. Its not gonna be 10 planes you never heard of. The only other one that's confirmed to be a new plane is wherever Chandra is from.

That way he can meet Karn and voltron up with New Phyrexia to become Urza's True-Legacy. .........or something. I just want one of them to be from Dominaria.

I was really hoping for a goofy revival of Venser via time travel shenanigans, but it didn't fit this blocks theme. Other than time travel.

I don't really understand why they would. It has a lot of nostalgic stuff there and there's nothing inherently wrong with the plane in terms of flavor.

Dominaria was basically just "vague mishmash of every fantasy trope" land and then they basically blew it up in Time Spiral. It doesn't even really have any particular flavour of its own other than "that place where all that poo poo happened".

I just get annoyed that Maro and the Story team rule out a lot of things for dumb reasons that players would never really care about and in fact, most of them would like. For example, they have "Desert World" on the short list, but that Desert World cannot be Rabiah (the "Arabian Nights" plane), literally because Bazaar of Baghdad references a real place. Like anyone cares whether the storyline is from a two decade old expansion which also happens to be literally the only Standard legal expansion that never had any actual storyline whatsoever or even any relationship to the plot whatsoever. Just change the name where the Bazaar is to something else, dummies. Note: the "short list" is the worlds that R&D has high on their lists to develop as plane-settings. Part of that list: Egyptian World Fairy Tale World High fantasy/”Camelot” World Indian World Meso-American World Murder Mystery/Noir World Pirate World Prehistoric World Prison World Roman World Sky World Steampunk World Underground World Viking/Norse World Water World Wild West-Inspired World Return to Previous World Angry Grimace fucked around with this message at 23:10 on Mar 5, 2015 |

Serperoth posted:Bazaar of Azzup I think the older players would enjoy it and new players probably don't give a poo poo since they're not really missing out on anything in particular. They claim they didn't "invent" the IP for it, but that argument seems kind of weak with "Definitely Not a Ancient Greece" still in Standard.

Why would you want it to be "Rabiah"? That's just a name they made up after the fact to retcon a bunch of cards that were literally based on the Arabian Nights stories into being from a Magic plane.

I have a rules question for a deck i'm trying to make: So if i have a battlefield thaumaturge and isochron scepter imprinted with Aurelia's fury, can I target my opponent and all this creatures and ping + lockdown them every turn? Edit: re-read the cards, you dont get a cost reduction for targeting a player. So target each creature at least? Casaval fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Mar 5, 2015 |

I don't know how a Murder Mystery themed set would work but suddenly I really want it. "Exile a creature card from your hand face down and announce its power. Target opponent names a card. Reveal the exiled card and return it to your hand, and if it is not the revealed card, Murder Mystery does damage equal to that creatures power to target creature or player."

Kyrosiris posted:Negative. Right, so x = 0. So when you declare targets and factor the discount from thaumaturge x still is 0. Its not an alternate cost it's cost reduction. I tried to google rules interactions for scepter and cost reduction and didnt come up with anything.

I tried to google rules interactions for scepter and cost reduction and didnt come up with anything. I think you never get the opportunity to set X as something other than 0. BT is a cost reduction on what you actually pay for spell with an X of some number.
