Any Chicagoons have lgs recommendations? Moved here recently and checked out mtgcardmarket and dice dojo but haven't played yet. Dojo seemed nicer but is a longer trek. Would mainly be interested in modern, legacy, and draft right now. Also have a cube!

I can see Spell Mastery being a really powerful mechanic in Modern/Legacy if they print something at 1 or 2 CMC with a decent effect/conditional upside.

Where are you located? Those are mostly the big two, Hotsauce is a pretty distant third in my opinion.

Keep in mind, Dojo has two locations now, one at Bryn Mawr and one in the loop.

It's piss easy to get 4 damage for R in formats where we have fuckin' Delver lists. There is no possible way it'll be 2 to 4.

Logan Square so nothing is terribly convenient. Why can't there be one in Logan or wicker :( and yeah, I went to the Bryn Mawr one. Does mtgcardmarket usually have singles out? When we went the cases were empty but it was shortly after Vegas.

I could see this as 2 turning into 3 and probably as a sorcery as well but I guess at some point they have to stop giving legacy/modern burn more 1 mana 3 damage spells

Yeah I was really pushing the power of the card in my fantasy. More realistically, I can see something like Shock normally, Spell Mastery - 3 damage that can't be countered or prevented.

That's probably too much to hope for. It'll cost 2 mana whatever it does because they're afraid of making good lightning bolts.

I was literally going to post exactly that.

Not really the best precedent, but Galvanic Blast or that X Ferocious spell from FRF are sorta similar. Both were +2 on the base effect.

There's a huge difference though, Galvanic Blast is basically never ever going to be 4 damage in an actual dedicated burn deck.

Having 2 spells in your graveyard is difficult to NOT turn on in a burn deck, so they're not going to make anything that's better than lightning bolt if you have Spell Mastery.

if galvanic blast was activated by almost every other card played in delver and burn then you drat well better believe it would be a 4 of in legacy

My guess is that the X-spell is going to be the only burn spell with the mechanic in Origins. If there is a common variant, I'd imagine it'd look more like Brimstone Volley than anything else in terms of cmc and damage with/without the condition being met.
