I think Narset's problem is that you really need to be in control of the board the turn she comes down and she's in the worst colors to do that. Then I feel like all she is really good for is card draw unless you're running a third color and can start flashing back burn or kill spells and at that point your deck is probably too diluted. Basically she's just not efficient enough for standard. There are too many value creatures to play any kind of control that isn't just full of removal and ways to dig for more removal.

She's great to have around but doesn't haven enough immediate impact that you're willing to take a whole turn off to resolve her.

If you have a Runed Halo in play naming Keranos and the Twin player has a Keranos in play and no creatures are in play, doesn't the twin player have to bolt himself with Keranos on a nonland flip?

Man that even dodges the Commandeer Tech since if you name Runed Halo it falls off on its own. E: man why isn't Runed Halo an enchant player. Zoness fucked around with this message at 23:20 on Jun 11, 2015 |

Rinkles posted:It's seems tailor made to beat twin (and little else?) That actually looks like a pretty standard build, and while Twin is actually one of it's better matchups (being as much of a control/tempo deck as a combo), you're right in assuming it fares poorly against any deck that can pull out a win turn 3 or doesn't really use the board to win (so Burn, Infect, Storm, Amulet Bloom, Tron if only because it doesn't care about paying Prison costs, etc.) I ground out a really long few games against some idiot aspie kid who borrowed it the other night, and while by all rights he should have probably 2-1'd my Merfolk deck because it is a really bad matchup for me and my draws were awful, he forgot Porphyry Node triggers every single time so the third game drew to time when he had 1 life left  I still won the tournament, and I don't feel nearly as bad as I do for the Norin Sisters player he went against next.

Narset is amazing, and playing the Omnarscience deck in modern is a bigger rush than opening Alpha boosters. I ran that bad boy in a casual tourney last night and turn 1 KO'd more times than I deserved to.

Bugsy posted:They really need to make more old frame promos/reprints. Yeah. To be honest, I wish they'd do something different for all Promo cards. Full art textless was a terrible idea (especially on stuff like Cryptic com), but doing something like FNM promos as either old border or game day style full art would be a nice way to make them a little more different than just alternate art foil.

Full art textless is awesome on iconic cards but it is dumb as hell on Cryptic Command. I had an embarassing moment when I played Storm after having not had played the game for 3 years and had to judge call myself on my textless ponders to remember how it worked.

Is there any way to fix the MTGO bug where colorless non-land non-artifacts all have their normal-sized art stretched out to full-art size? Or is it just one of those "that's how MTGO rolls, deal with it" things?

Textless versions of cards that are a) familiar and b) not complex every time (Cryptic for example), are awesome. Textless Brainstorm for example, would be a treat, since it's a Legacy staple, and beyond the first or second time you read it, that's it, done. Draw 3, put 2 back. Also, old-frame versions are similarly awesome. Love my old-frame Sword, wish I had an old-frame Bob.

Malgrin posted:MTG Salvation splits them into full art cards and textless cards. I'm not sure if this is a complete list, but, it has a lot of them. Reciprocate is the weirdest poo poo to have as a textless reward. I'm sure 99% of magic players would have less trouble with textless Cryptic than textless Reciprocate. Good thing the solution is the same as the problem (nobody plays it, ever.) Looking over the rest of the list, Treasure Hunt is a distant second in the "what?" category, and I'm pretty sure Cryptic comes up with a bronze medal at best.

I'm actually thinking about trading it in for a regular CC from one of the MMs plus some other good stuff. I actually prefer non foil cards.

I placed an order for a few cards on TCGPlayer recently, and one of the retailers who filled the order sent me a foil card instead of nonfoil. I was sad.  (Already traded it for the nonfoil version with a friend. I hate foils.)

Yeah, I only use foil cards when it's a supply issue, because in tournament settings, mixing foils and non foils can be a problem, and I really don't see the huge appeal of foils, other than their rareness. Every now and then there's better alternate art, but, that's pretty uncommon. That said: I wish I could just get a non-foil textless cryptic command.
