Have we seen anything with a casting/activation cost with C and another colour? We've seen them split like W in the casting cost of Displacer and C in the activation cost. But I don't think we've seen anything like WC yet?

Chandra Preordering at 10 bucks on SCG. Guess people are that wary of cards with the subtype "Chandra" on them nowadays.

Count Bleck posted:Chandra Preordering at 10 bucks on SCG. I would argue she's playable if she started with 5 loyalty instead of 4. If you think of her as a really lovely version of Elspeth, Sun's Champion - that's not too bad but for the fact she can't take down Siege Rhino, or a field full of Wingmate Rocs without dying. A 6 mana walker pretty much needs to be able to do that to be worth playing. You aren't going to be tapping out to play this card and then dumping your hand. You want to do the Elspeth play - wipe the board of serious threats and then start using whatever other abilities she has. Angry Grimace fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Jan 5, 2016 |

Holy poo poo Reality Smasher looks busted. I've been testing that mono black modern eldrazi deck and the deck owns owns owns, it just eats every fair deck up and has a lot of game against a lot of combo decks too. Anyway it looks like it'll be great in that deck. A turn 3 5/5 haste that protects itself, what's not to like

I could see it being played in modern if Twin ever got banned and the remaining Blue/Red shell became a pure tempo deck. Rip_Van_Winkle posted:This seems maybe very good? I am bad at detecting important cards in this card game. The card itself seems good. The question is if it will find a deck, a 2/3 for 2 mana, that becomes a 4/5 when your top decking is pretty solid to me, and the land creature clause may or may not be relevant. This seems like a borderline limited bomb, except I now realize Awaken cards will actually be pretty rare in BFZ drafts sense we are doing double Oath then BFZ.....

It sort of depends if there's anything good with Awaken in OGW. So far I don't think they've even spoiled a card that had Awaken at all in the set. Awaken's issue in BFZ by itself isn't that the lands aren't powerful enough, its that they all cost a shitload to animate. Even as a limited format Awaken is not terribly awesome because you might have 1 or 2 lands animate in a game. The card itself is pretty good in limited though. Topdecking a 4/5 for 1G has historically been pretty good. Angry Grimace fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Jan 5, 2016 |

Every legacy deck will run 4 Monastery Swiftspear, 4 Young Pyromancer, 4 Snapcaster Mage, 4 Stoneforge Mystics, 4 Stormchaser Mage, and 40 basics.

jassi007 posted:My thought on it is like this. What I'm saying here is you can't trust players of any caliber to have unbiased judgment on the level of balance in the game because they have a vested interest in it. That said, if Bloom eats a ban I'd wager Goryo's decks will eat a ban, and possible infect. Because, while wildly inconsistent in the same measure, they are the other decks that can pull of T2 wins with infrequent consistency.

UberJew posted:What spells do you think get cut to bump the creature count that high? Well there really isn't a very good UR Delver deck right now but the Grixis Delver decks run 4 Deathrite and 2 Angler's in addition to 4 of Delver and Pyromancer so if you play those in addition to 4 Swiftspear and 4 of these guys you're only playing 2 more creatures.

Count Bleck posted:How does that read bizarrely? loving what? Yeah I don't buy that. If it said "spend only on colorless spells," that's something any player can understand even if they don't know why. It's weird, but it's Eldrazi, they're supposed to have some inscrutable feeling to them. Instead players have to look up the keyword 'devoid,' a word that does not appear in magic anywhere outside of this block.
