rabidsquid posted:it comes with some poo poo for a new player draft. i don't know what this is as my account is like 13 years old or something stupid You get 5 regular event tickets and 20 "new player points", which is enough to do 5 new player drafts. They're regular drafts with a 4 player pod, you play two matches and get untradeable packs as prizes. The packs are weird five card packs with random cards from whatever set you just drafted. I made a second account because my collection was so big it was slowing my client to a crawl because WotC, and I got like 20 packs in prizes and opened basically nothing, but the drafts were pretty fun.

Basically I only play (modern) leagues to supplement my obscene drafting habit, but I'm sure if you don't care about draft and just play pauper leagues (and daily events, if they have those), then it's not too hard to end up not spending any money on MODO except buying your decks. A couple things that confused me when I first started:
I think that's it. I'm sure people in the thread can help you when other things come up.

lockdar posted:The problem is people not knowing the format or the cards, they don't have enough time to read all the cards and figure out a strategy from there. If you do know the cards you're way ahead. Sure, I'm not going to blame people for, say, undervaluing Viridian Longbow. Spikeshot Goblin, though, is a pinger that has potential to take over the game, even if you don't know anything about the format.

You know, if I hadn't seen the post about Spikeshot Goblin being the best common, I would have passed it. At least I got one as the first pick in a pack. Tried GR beats but it didn't work, but I finally made it to round two in one of these drafts and someone passed me a Glimmervoid. Eighth Edition was the worst. I couldn't even win with my tried and true core set strategy of drafting every single white and blue flier I can because every common is so woefully underpowered.

Yegor posted:Maybe this is the card that makes Zada standard playable? Dragon Fodder, Hordeling Outburst, Zada, draw 6! Wishful thinking, a 4 mana 3/3 that requires you to both have a strong board presence while also having a cheap cantrip spell in hand to be good is asking a little much. Zada is a cool card, but I don't believe it will ever have large success on the competitive circuit. If she were a 3 mana 2/3 or 3/2 with the same ability my opinion might be a little different, because that would mean on turn 4 you could slam her down and then cast the cantrip, which seems like a pretty powerful play. However, as is, Zada just seems too fragile and too finicky to be anything more than Johnny masturbation fodder. Madmarker fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Jan 7, 2016 |

Gensuki posted:Can you have devotion to colorless? Does nykthos interact meaningfully with jank eldrazi stuff? No. Colorless is, um, well, not a color. quote:700.5. A player’s devotion to [color] is equal to the number of mana symbols of that color among the mana costs of permanents that player controls. A player’s devotion to [color 1] and [color 2] is equal to the number of mana symbols among the mana costs of permanents that player controls that are [color 1], [color 2], or both colors. If they change this then you could, but as it stands, it's trying to worship the absence of worshipable entities. No matter how euphoric you are, it doesn't go anywhere.

Eldrazi Mimic, Matter Reshaper, Thought-Knot Seer and Reality Smasher guy are all ridiculous in Modern with Eye of Ugin and Eldrazi Temple. There's no way its going to be worth it to be doing shenanigans with Processors when you can just vomit these value creatures onto the battlefield for cheap.

mcmagic posted:The best thing to keep up with Mentor on the field is Negate... sure but: This lets you play it on 4 and still get value, by attacking for 3 and still getting your monk. Later in the game, you can EOT it. In general, doubling the number of 1 mana cantrips your monastery mentor deck can play is an upgrade, I think. Is it enough? I don't know. Is it testable? I think so.

BizarroAzrael posted:How does Eye of Ugin work with a 1<> Eldrazi? Does it become free or do you need to pay <>? Eye of Ugin reduces generic mana costs by 2. It doesn't reduce anything else, including colorless mana. You can cast Eldrazi Mimic for 0 though.
