Can't wait to have this rot in my hand because my opponent's board is full of morphs and 2-color bomb rares.

Quoting my question from yesterday cause it got lost in spoilerchat:Zero_Grade posted:What color pen is the best for getting cards signed? I'm planning on getting some done at the GP this weekend, and was looking at something besides the black sharpie that the artists used last time I got stuff signed. I was thinking maybe silver or gold sharpie to stand out a bit more.

Edit the article actually says you can't kill face down cards. Cactrot fucked around with this message at 17:01 on Mar 6, 2015 |

I'm bad at Magic, but this seems underwhelming. Bounce one dude and -3/-3 another for 5 mana? I can wrath for that. It seems better as Hero's Downfall 5-6 with a tempo play of bouncing a land attached.

Ramos posted:I want this to make blue devotion a thing, but I know better. Honestly, it might. I think the main thing missing from blue devotion since the departure of RTR block was Nightveil Specter, and this guy seems like an adequate replacement I could also see him seeing play as a kill condition in a control deck.

The command is going to be a total house in limited though. Bounce your best dude, kill your other dude, swing for lethal gg.

Silumgar's command is a one-way (actually 6-way) ticket to value town. It feels like something where you'd really have to stretch to make it not a two-for-one.

moxiemag posted:So is anyone seeing the value in buying a box yet for this release? It is never worth it, even if it technically is. Unless you can move everything in a box for cash or trade it for more than $95ish dollars in value in things that won't also go down in price, it isn't worth it. The only real way to do this is to do pre-sales on ebay, and in order to do something like that you need to guarantee you'll get multiple playsets of all the rares and mythics. w The other route, you buy 1 box for $95. You get dumb lucky and it has a narset. You get even luckier and find a sap to sell it to for $50. You get 2 other playable rares/mythics, being a dumb luck sack, and you still end up losing money becuase long term your going to have $50 + 2 $5-10 cards for your $95 you spent. Open boxes because you want to open them and never try to justify it as being worth it because you can't justify it outside of really specific circumstances which almost nobody is in. Those circumstances being you are a pre-seller and have access to distributors who will sell you many many cases at $500-550ish a case, you have the ability/manpower to crack and sort 50-100+ boxes in 2-4 days fill order pack and ship them.

It seems better as Hero's Downfall 5-6 with a tempo play of bouncing a land attached. It would be sick at 4cmc, but yeah at five its only ok. UB control might run one or two, just since it consolidates the stuff all your other tool cards do so it might smooth out draws by giving you an extra downfall/(bad) blight/negate.

Although yes, every other card around it is worse than it. deftest posted:Narset? Ojutai's command? I'm feeling like the day of UB control is over You'll have to go back about 20 pages for my entire "Narset is a bad control card and white removal sucks" argument. Not to mention, that I'm not sure I want to switch off black to white in order to get "2WU: draw a card, counter target creature spell."

Yeah, I have Small Red that I built for $8 and it crushes all the Standard decks at the university Magic club, so instead I focus my energies on hilarious decks like Old Fogey or Shakespeare flavourtext.
