I am shocked that the alt-win card is difficult to use.

Snacksmaniac posted:Will this card ever trigger ever? It triggers every upkeep actually, I think. Gather the pack works pretty well at both dumping this and finding a tasigur/denmama/grovewarden to work with it. It's kind of slow but hey, self milling is realistically the only way it's gonna work. Also in legacy you can intuition for 3 copies, infernal tutor for the last one, play one, delve one away.

suicidesteve posted:This is presumably meant to be the same battle from each of the superfriends's perspective. I'm assuming there will be a white and blue one from a slightly different angle too. Except it isn't from their perspective unless the Titans are literally two dimensional sprites from a fifteen year old rpg so they look the same from any angle. I thought it'd be a mural, but Nissa is covering up Kozi's arm in her card, and that arm is clear in Chandra's. It just seems lazy and uninspired not to shift the titan's a little to change the perspective. Look at how far away Gideon is - if the titan's aren't redrawn for his card then it's going to look very weird next to Jace's. Nibble posted:I doubt it - in the art and flavor text, Bonds has Jace and Nissa, Fall has Gideon and Chandra. They might have similar cards to better represent Jace's and Gideon's contributions elsewhere, but I don't see them having even more cards depicting the exact same scene. There's definitely no excuse for not doing a redraw if it's just two cards and not a full four.

does Hedron Alignment's trigger work if you have a Hedron Alignment exiled face down by that 6/6 eldrazi guy? e: Inverter of Truth

I think Hedron Alignment could actually be a semi-OK deck while Khans is still legal. Being able to scry any number of times at instant speed is kindof useful for a control deck, and once you've got the game locked down you can assemble the actual combo at your own leisure. e: like isn't it actually a fairly decent manasink, with the bonus of also being your win condition?

Modern days are the same 5-10 people here, and if I keep beating face with my deck then someone will shove it in their SBs I mean, if your fighting Bogles, at the two mana slot you have access to Spellskite in any color. Not only that you could side in anything from ensnaring bridge to counterspells to screw with bogles. Cards that just remove hexproof are almost never worth it, and even with the draw a card function I still think it is a poor card. Sideboard slots in modern are to valuable to waste on a card if it doesnt A) completely hose a deck or B) improve your matchup against multiple decks, and honestly I dont see this card doing either.

Given that Bogles plays 7-8 umbras I think bonds doesn't really do enough in that matchup anyway.

UberJew posted:I'm the crushing realization that at some point this was 1 or U to scry and they decided it was too powerful I just wish the mana cost to cast it was a bit less. The Win-con is comical, but being able to just scry whenever, even if it costs 1U, might actually be good in certain matchups. Like I could see control decks in Standard running one of these in the sideboard for the mirror if those decks turn out to be slow enough.

I think it's more of an EDH thing. Running a 2 mana cycler isn't a huge cost there, and it helps you deal with random Uril's and Ulamogs and what have you.UberJew posted:I'm the crushing realization that at some point this was 1 or U to scry and they decided it was too powerful

The Inverter is a cool card that I like. Chandra's Oath makes me angry because that's apparently what red gets for burn at rare now. A Lightning Strike at sorcery speed that only hits creatures. Nice. That's quite the fireball, though. That's a cool rear end alternate wincon too. The Lord of Hats posted:This feels less like #mtgfinance and more like someone decided "I will be the guy with ALL OF THE EATERS OF THE DEAD". Like, a binder just full of them. I mean if I felt the need to be incredibly wasteful I'd buy out all the Knight Exemplars.

If it's from a 93/94 set that's almost certainly the reason. Heck, I think I found the source of the Field of Dreams spike: http://www.eternalcentral.com/old-school-magic-93-94-playing-millstone-dreams-control/
