 Image of this card. This is actually a really cool card, especially with all the funky land ramp like that Nissa explosion card plus the fact that we have fetchlands. Angry Grimace fucked around with this message at 18:58 on Jul 1, 2015 |

Friendly reminder that you can rip this out of your deck with Genesis Hydra, and that it's stupid with Fetchlands.

Debating whether or not this is good with Amulet Bloom (particularly if they feel like Hive Mind should be banned).

Tonetta posted:making goyf chumpers sounds like a losing proposition to me Maybe, but I'm just brainstorming. If you have two karoos (one in hand, one in play), this technically just continues to pump out chump blockers. It's unfortunately not a creature so it can't be tutored for via Pact, but I think it could have some sort of narrow use. If nothing else, it'll be a cheap uncommon to obtain. Also, since I know you play Bloom on Twitch, what were your feelings on that 6-drop that tutors for a green 3-drop?

If nothing else, it'll be a cheap uncommon to obtain. you actually only need one karoo, since it can bounce itself. the 6 drop doesn't tutor for anything I want to play, or even can play. my interest is in that xx artifact and I don't even know if that will be totally viable

Tonetta posted:you actually only need one karoo, since it can bounce itself. Ah, that's also true, re: Karoos. I only mentioned the 6-drop because I know of some builds that use Eternal Witness and/or sideboard Restoration Sage, so I guess it seemed like interesting tech in the Abzan matchup or somesuch. As for the XX, I'm a little down on it; it can be tutor'd for via Tolaria West, but so can Pact, and that can find Hornet Queen. There also isn't a lot of situations where an opponent just allows you to sit there and durdle with it and make it bigger, and dumping so much mana into it still only makes it half as good. I'l grab an 'experimental one-of' but other than that, meh.

We still haven't seen anything from the 5 lands that are still unspoiled. I assume its not a rare-land cycle, but still, its weird they haven't shown us what it is. It has to be some kind of allied fixing though, right?

Sickening posted:Why is it weird? You usually see those way earlier in the set spoilers. I guess it could be like 5 variations on Evolving Wilds, I'm not expecting a Horizon Canopy cycle or something. Sickening posted:Removal is against maro's new design strategy. My guess is that you haven't seen removal yet because its mostly reprints and they don't bother to spoil those very often (e.g. Pacifism, Arrest, Shock (or whatever)) Angry Grimace fucked around with this message at 19:57 on Jul 1, 2015 |

bhsman posted:Ah, that's also true, re: Karoos. Yeah it could be argued that this particular combo is pretty good as a sideboard option but I don't really like the idea of using Restoration sage as it doesn't prevent you from losing at the speeds you need it to, and generally speaking you don't want to slow down a combo deck to put in cards that aren't going to stop you from losing.

Totally fair; I'm ~5 cards away from finishing the deck (been working on it since Justin Cohen and Sam Black showed it off at PTFR) and was just curious about an established pilot's take on these new cards, so thank you.  Also, I'm assuming you have the shirt that goes with the sweet avatar?

If you just want trusted names, Cardhoarder is pretty good — they might not be the cheapest bots out there, but they have excellent customer service and one of the owners, Nat, is a pretty public face and is happy to chat about the business. Thank you for the suggestions. Do you have a recommendation for bots that sell mass cards for 1 ticket? I found one last night that I got 642 cards from for 2 tickets. $2 to basically clean the bot out.

I do not. If you intend to play the deck, get ready to lose a lot. It's one of the most difficult decks to run optimally, even the best players make mistakes constantly.

A 1/3 flier for 3 that turns into a 2/4 is way better than a flying horned turtle. It's comparable in power to just plain Wind Drake and that card is extremely playable.

I guess, but it's going to be turn 5 before it untaps and you can use it as a 2/4 flyer. E: It's probably really good against thopters.

Long term goals tho. Yeah i'm just mass collecting cards, 4 of everything I don't already have. Back in the day I saw players with 12,000 - 15,000 cards. I wonder what some of the more hardcore players have now. I have no problem throwing down $1 to $3 for tickets to buy large quantities of cards. It's fun.

It's contextually way more powerful, because this set has a heavy 1/1 flier sub-theme. Even if you never connect with it in a lot of matchups it'll sit there holding off (or eating) tokens just fine.

It has extra value in this set because it can block thopters all day if it needs to and, based on the removal we have seen so far, 4 seems like the magic number for creature toughness so once it connects its insane
