Combining Narset with Generator Servant was a fun deck to play for a bit, for a nice t4 haymaker. It was magical Christmasland when it went off and got 3 planeswalkers. It was a lump of coal when I got 4 lands.

rabidsquid posted:I am sure this is going to sound like hindsight but Narset was so obviously not good within the context of modern day Standard set design that it never should have been expensive. Standard has been about t4 haymakers for literal years now and Narset is like an extremely fringe card advantage card that does nothing on haymaker turn. mcmagic posted:Narset will be opened more than Ugin but she will also be a modern staple and Ugin isn't... mcmagic posted:How long before Narset is banned? That card is way too good. mcmagic posted:She will be a 3-4 of in Modern too. but also this actual true one mcmagic posted:SCG Sold out of preorders at 30, 35 and 40. lol I mean, to mcmagic's defense, which is a pretty rare stance for me to take, he's not the only one who thinks the way he does.

Fuzzy Mammal posted:Our LGS plays at the bar next door. No teenagers no drama. It's the best. This sounds fantastic. Part of the reason I switched gaming stores is the one I was playing at had a group of kids that played who were more interested in their iPads than playing the game. Having to ask them to pause whatever they were watching on YouTube because it was their turn or take one headphone out so they could hear was a common occurrence. They often brought decks that weren't legal even though there was a free FNM before the normal one for new players to help with stuff like this. If their decks were legal it would normally be a random stack of cards that didn't make sense to be played together. To top it off the store owner openly dislikes "competitive magic" and changed the prizes to everyone getting one pack per win + one free pack for registering to chase competitive players out of the store. It worked.

At first I'm saying, "wow she seems pretty awesome in a Prowess deck of some kind!" and then like 2 pages later I'm like, "actually on further inspection this poo poo sucks in every deck and will go under $20." Card is $13.50 TCG mid right now.

Roshambo posted:MM2 draft, match 1 game 1: My MMA 2 draft experience: win game 1 of the affinity mirror. I have a decent deck. He doesn't. I have Hoverguards and Souleaters and 1-drops and Etched Champion and 4 pieces of removal. He has, as I learned thoughout the rest of the match, a bunch (at least 3, though I heard he had 4 from his next opponent) of Stoic Rebuttals, almost no artifacts, no removal, and no good creatures aside from a Qumulox. Game 2 I draw land #3 on turn 7. Game 3 I keep 3 lands and draw 9 in a row in my 16 land deck. You better believe I was salty losing to the 4 Stoic Rebuttal, one good card deck but I still shook his hand and gave him a GG then raged about it to my friends.

Count Bleck posted:My favorite is that Ugin actually gets played in Tron now, so. I think a lot of the negativity surrounding Ugin in Tron was the extra mana based on the idea you'd Map your way into a T3 functional Tron, but its not like Tron is winning a super large percentage of its games through T3 tron being online. Also, its just that Elves is starting to make a Modern comeback.

The last time I had a spot on evaluation was realizing Thassa and Master of the Waves would be ridiculous with the Ravnica enablers. Since then, I do my best not to make any claims about cards not out yet.

What Given that narset is in DTK verdict was never in standard? The curve was narset-crux or narset-end but like that is remarkably useless against deathmist raptors + den protectors.

A control deck especially can't tap out on the turn that it's likely to lose the game against a large portion of the field

It turns out a walker having very high loyalty does not count as protecting itself. I think people saw Domri for control but they overlooked 1) 3 mana is a world of difference from 4 mana 2) red and green need card draw way more than blue and white

So if packs are really important to you and cramped conditions aren't, you can play there and beat up on the kids. No beer or food is a big loss too.

It's definitely no Amarogge Warfos 2U Artifact Creature - Kavu Shaman Morph B(B/B)(G/W) (You may cast this card from your graveyard to the battlefield, you may pay 1. If an enchantment card, then put the rest of target creature card from your graveyard for its flashback cost. If exile is you sacrifice it unless you pay 1G. If you do, put a 3/1 green Soldier creature token onto the battlefield. Put it into your graveyard.)
