Ramos posted:Mastery of the Unseen is doing a surprising amount of work on camera. It might be mostly due to the positioning since black and blue have no obvious enchantment removal, but it's been nothing but trouble for the Sultai Control deck. It's the best mobilization variant in years so that's not super surprising to me

It's actually a lot worse against Sultai Control than something like U/B Control, just because the Sultai list plays a bunch of Sultai Charms, which can kill it. But it does seem like a powerful card against the right decks.

Any glacial deck with no enchantment removal will lose to it eventually, I guess. Aren't the only answers in UB like a singleton Perilous Vault and Ugin?

Pussy Snorkel posted:Making top eight should have earned you more than two packs, and I can't really think of a scenario where this would make sense unless there were only twelve people in the event or something. I played in a PPTQ where we had 5 rounds of Swiss and cut to top 8. I lost in the first round of top 8 and ended up with only 2 packs. E: Or maybe I'm remembering wrong and there were just under 16 people. It was somewhere between 15 and 18 people in the tournament though.

Some Numbers posted:You're probably missing that it says "another?" 2 of them + a Bolster card makes them infinitely large (bolster on one > trigger the other > trigger the first > trigger the other > Ad Nauseam) It's magical-christmas-land as all hell but I'd love to get to do it at pre-release/release day sealed.

Some Numbers posted:You're probably missing that it says "another?" I have two coins whose value is 30 cents. One of them is not a nickel. Another enduring scalelord is still another creature. You give anything a +1/+1 counter and then they both trigger off of that. Then they trigger off of each other. Then they trigger off each other. Then they trigger off of each other... Each instance of the ability is a separate instance of putting a +1/+1 counter on a creature you control, and thus triggers another instance of their ability until your opponent breaks the fun and wraths you, or until you time out in mtgo. EDIT: It isn't even that magical christmas land in the effort it requires. 2 six drops + any megamorph/bolster? I guess the balance is "if you can't win with two 4/4 flyers, you probably could not win with 2 infinity/infinity flyers"? VV I know it's a may trigger, but you would still want to do it until they had at least power=opponent's life each, and given the interface, I could see that eating up 2 minutes?

There's a may clause, so you can just have both go to eleven billion and then stop it.

The perfect edh deck, tutor up a clone and the scalelord, go infinite with them and then starts making off the scale puns until the rest of the table throws their shoes at you.

Sorin's current theme seems to be showing up and being like 'drat poo poo got hosed' then leaving. Goes to Zendikar, poo poo gets hosed, then to Innistrad, declares poo poo be hosed, goes to Tarkir and declares poo poo is hosed. Has he ever done anything else? I guess that's pretty white/black when you think about it.

He was draining the life from the eldrazi while they were being sealed, so he helped there... He also made Avacyn out of moonlight, so he fixed that. Basically, Sorin solved some things in the past and now he's old and Is Just Done. The reason he seems ineffective in his solutions is just that he lived long enough to see them fail? No solution to anything is ever permanent and complete after all. If Urza was not dead, we'd be mad at him for the phyrexians on mirrodin.

I think it may be in reference to the old Anafenza maybe? So far she's the only previous Khan to have Flavor Text so it's difficult to say what they were going for. Also Narset is ruining my plans to collect all the Khans and Dragonlords on the cheap.
