Okay maybe you can justify something like Leaf Gilder? On the basis of it's a turn 3 CoCo. I mean it's way worse then Visionary and Jace but it at least kinda sorta fits with your gameplan

It only sorta ramps, but it does provide double the bodies for Zulaport fodder, and is fine against more aggro gameplans.

What're the odds that any box of M13 I buy online isn't a mapped dud? I want to pick one up to draft with friends.

1 mana dorks are a bit different, there was a development article where they said they warp standard. That doesn't mean they're gone forever but they could easily let them lapse for a bit longer.

I think there's 10 lands in the deck that aren't fetch lands, so yeah, that probably won't happen. If you really wanted something to be unblockable though, Rogue's Passage is cheaper than Coralhelm Guide.

Hey lsv put up a cool play thing: so - remand now or remand later? Personally I'm down with remand later since remanding now runs the risk of them having dispel immediately or them untapping and dropping keranos while you're tapped out.

i'm thinking remand later. like you said, it keeps you open depending on what they have in their hand, and i don't think they'd cast exarch into that much blue mana if it was their only win condition in hand. we've also got enough mana to just cast remand twice if they have a remand of their own. really the main conundrum here is "do you think your opponent has more gas or do they just have a twin they need to get out bc their hand sucks" and it looks like they kept 7 and haven't casted anything if i'm doing my math right, so twin might really not be the biggest threat in their hand.

They've done a reasonably good job making the ramp archetype look different and still be viable, which actually makes a lot of sense given the way Landfall and such operate. I don't think they'll be back until Battle for Zendikar rotates out, but yeah, I feel like they're too iconic to not come back eventually.

Playing Modern Aristocrats is great except I'm testing online and I have to target Blood Artist triggers every time. I know strictly I can target myself with it, but shouldn't it at least default to target the opponent? I'm sure other spells and effects like that do it.

Zulaport Cutthroat was changed to each opponent, presumably for that reason, as well as commander. And what if you want to trigger your Lich's Mirror or grow your Death's Shadow? Yes I know you gain life too that was the joke.

There's lots of people who will do the job for less. I'd be surprised if these guys make more than a couple hundred bucks per gig, excluding expenses. Same with the non-unionized members on the wotc production staff too.

Remand later. It gives you options, lessens the likelihood they go for the combo once Exarch resolves and your hand kind of sucks vs. the combo at the moment to begin with. You probably lose if they have Dispel and are determined to slam Twin anyways. Angry Grimace fucked around with this message at 01:44 on Dec 16, 2015 |

Oath Nissa is not impressive at first look, but she costs only costs 3, makes a chump to protect her, and puts counters on things. She is going to be so annoying to play against.
