She fits your description to a T and likes to do such charming things as: -asking (often young) players she lost to why they side-boarded the way they did so that she can call them out for netdecking -whining about handshakes and "good game" being offered to her when she loses

Should have been discard 2 unless you discard a planeswalker card.

Rally/Aristocrats is one of my more favorite decks in recent memory because it feels like someone combed an entire format for weird synergies and made a deck out of cards that weren't explicitly designed to be relevant to each other, rather than just picking your clan or shard (or uh, nephilim) and then playing all the cards that they clearly pushed for you to play. mandatory lesbian posted:I mean technically this isn't only reliant on Mythics, since you get the Draw 3 Discard 2, but even then Worse Compulsive Research at rare isn't like, something I wanna defend technically it's not strictly worse since you can reuse it if you have a way of returning it to your hand  (I guess you could return compulsive research to your hand too, but it's harder to find cards that do that, probably)

I dig the Oath of Jace and look forward to good characters getting them. It's basically a sorcery with a bonus legendary aura, I think the ETB makes it playable in limited. I played Mardu Walkers for a spell so these could get me back in that. Just a shame it looks like black won't have one (unless Ob Nix gets one, an oath against the rest)

Irony Be My Shield posted:Did you miss the whole Delve thing Delve is extremely strong but I don't know if I would ever categorize it as fun or exciting. Like almost every single good Delve card is just a card that is overcosted but good if you can pay for the Delve cost instead.

I wonder if this theme is creative flexing its muscles since they're the ones in charge of planeswalkers. Rares that rely on specific mystics just strikes me as ugly design. (I've never even opened a pw yet.)

There's probably some kind of cruel joke in the fact that more than half of mine have been Jace.

I played against her once at External Extravaganza 2. I was on twin and she was on that loampox deck. G1 I twinned her, then she had to go to the restroom, was gone for like 10 minutes while a judge hung out and we chatted. She came back and I guess the line for the restroom was to long or something she didn't get to go. g2 she made a weird play error she tried to raven's crime with no land in her GY i think, I pointed it out to her, she got super flustered signed the match slip and took off. I guess she had to piss so bad she couldn't play magic. She also complained to a friend who was perched on her shoulder about burn and twin the entire time.

I couldn't say how many planeswalkers i have opened but i have also grinded out a really embarrassing amount of events. It's at least two dozen, including a pool that had an unbelievably useless double karn liberated.

Serperoth posted:"They tried to make an exciting card and I tried to stop them" I mean, trying to stop Mental Misstep isn't, by itself, a bad thing. The issue is that Maro doesn't make cool cards/environments to replace whatever ones he cockblocks, he just makes Siege Rhino instead (I don't know if Rhino is actually one of his designs, but the point is that this is all happening on his watch)

They need to stop doing that because they tend to make the answer card very powerful in its own right. When the answer is a silver bullet like Grafdigger's Cage, it tends to be fine. It's only when the reaction card is a ridiculously strong play all on its own that it seems to become cancer.

Serperoth posted:"They tried to make an exciting card and I tried to stop them" "They made a single mistake that resulted in a loving miserable environment and I tried to stop them". Like am I meant to fault him for having too much agency or not enough? Like half of the recent stories have been him not getting his way, but people also have issues with the new cards so ??? Why would you think siege rhino was a maro card? Iirc the story with that was that it didn't have trample but it was changed because the future league was testing with cmc 2 first response. My understanding is that future league is development, not design, so even assuming he designed it he didn't make the eventual card text and he's never the person that sets the cmc. Come on, there's plenty of things to criticise him about, but this was just nonsensical. is that good fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Dec 31, 2015 |
