I changed my mind - I want to hear Charlie Murphy tell the story about going to Prince's house, but instead of playing basketball they play EDH. Prince plays Maelstrom Wanderer as his commander and wins on the first turn.

Markovnikov posted:How much are those 90 fakebux worth? If they are actually worth 40k as someone on reddit says, there is no way they are recouping their investment, even if they hoard all the Seances ever printed and burn half of them. Of coruse assuming this is not a huge scam/a crazy person taking MTGfinance to the utmos end. Do you want the bullshit speculator answer or the actual answer on bitcoin value, because the actual answer is 'actually zero' as there's no reliable way to turn your bitcoins into goods, services or real currency

To be fair, the desire to buy and destroy all the copies of Seance is one I can sympathize with, in principle.

So anyone qualified for the Pro Tour want to make mad BitCoins by playing Séance? https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/3w1mfz/im_hiring_a_magic_the_gathering_pro_tour/

Christmas to myself just ordered on tcg player. My first deck I ever played in any serious way in high school. Deck: Black Summer  //Lands 20 Swamp //Spells 2 Contagion  4 Dark Ritual 4 Drain Life   4 Hymn to Tourach 4 Necropotence 4 Nevinyrral's Disk  2 Terror //Creatures 4 Black Knight 4 Bottle Gnomes 4 Foul Imp 4 Hypnotic Specter  Display deck statisticsPutting together a red sligh from the same period as well. Trying to figure out the decklist. Maybe a quazi duel deck thing in the works. Sickening fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Dec 9, 2015 |

Sickening posted:It seemed to play against a lot of jank though. Would have been fun to see it played against some good decks. The biggest problem is that Ensnaring Bridge is a card that can't be beat by very many decks at all and combo'd with Blood Moon just causes a very quick soft-lock to the game. I think Bridge going to be banned sooner or later simply because there are so many decks that cannot ever beat it with any cards in their arsenal.

I think it's super far from the Ban Hammer.

Ensnaring bridge is definitely a powerful card but banned? Really? Actually these bridge/moon decks won't do anything but make maelstrom pulse more popular. Far from broken. Hell, the deck seems pretty vulnerable to thoughtseize too. Sickening fucked around with this message at 20:10 on Dec 9, 2015 |

Every deck can theoretically side in Wear//Tear if it ever really gets that bad.

Ensnaring Bridge won't be banned until 1/2 of the top 8 pro tour decks play it. Hey new Uncharted Realms where Kozilek wrecks a bunch of sea creatures just to be a dick. http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/uncharted-realms/rise-kozilek-2015-12-09 and new art  I like the islands just floating away like balloons.

mcmagic posted:Is Bridge even in any T1 decks? I think it's super far from the Ban Hammer. Nope, but its still a supremely unfun card that I think is an easy target if it ever gets there. Sickening posted:Ensnaring bridge is definitely a powerful card but banned? Really? To clarify, I'm only talking about a theoretical universe where decks with the card are actually seeing a lot of play: it isn't getting banned this year or anything. Even Lantern Control doesn't see much play because its not *actually* that much fun to play. But its one of those cards where if it was ever particularly good I think WOTC would put the kibosh on it for being annoying and difficult to interact with.

The way Kozilek is described is super cool, it really sells his presence as incomprehensible and other-worldly.quote:The world seemed to bend around him, as though he were its center. Those perfect black shards above his head seemed to draw in light itself. She couldn't understand the shape of them, or whether they were even solid. Where they overlapped, they seemed to merge together. They weren't objects, or even shapes—they were holes in space

Just the first and second sentences are fine. "The shapes around his head seemed to have some sort really really dark quality to them, like if you fell into them the universe would like flash before your eyes, but you'd totally go really slow into them or something...they were definitely something that a famous wheelchair-bound physicist would write a book about." "Like that Event Horizon movie," Gideon thought.

MTG lore is surprisingly decent in reality; the writing is atrocious far too often, but the actual story outline and tropes are not that bad. It's a loving card game, they don't *actually* need to justify whatever the gently caress happens on any plane.
