Guys Reality Smasher is completely absurd. The card just steals games by itself.

They did say they were switching over to a more continuous story structure. And I guess Emrakul drones are likely to be pretty different this time around.

The concept of anything in Innistrad being mechanically similar to BFZ is pretty silly. poo poo, OGW is only barely mechanically similar to BFZ. There's a lot of lingering plot threads anyways that they can pick up wherever they want - Bolas is still a dick, Eugene's still an unknown quantity, Ob Nixilis has apparently made it his life's mission to be a Superdick to the Gatewatch, and the Phyrexians are still assholes (and can show up on a million planes due to LOLKarn, who himself isn't apparently doing anything helpful)

I would prefer to soo Ob in SoI since his fight with Sorin would be pretty cool and he is a demon so it fits the flavor. But it's probably Emrakul, which I find silly. Edit: all I want it to go back to Shadowmoor and watch to turn back into Lorwyn again. BRING BACK REBECCA!!!

I think Sorin and Ugin are likely to be the next headliners. Remember Sorin knows something about Nahiri's fate, something that he doesn't want Ugin to find out because Ugin would be mad at him. Does that have something to do with Innistrad? WHO KNOWS

Is there anything to watch out for when buying whole boxes of bfz/oaths on tcg player? Box/case mapping rares isn't a thing anymore right?

The mana is definitely good enough to do that for azban decks but the mana overall for every other part of the deck would get worse. The question seems to be if smasher is good enough to make your mana less streamlined and more painful. Spikes32 posted:Is there anything to watch out for when buying whole boxes of bfz/oaths on tcg player? Box/case mapping rares isn't a thing anymore right? Rumors are that its still a thing, just less reliable than before and requires more sealed product to figure out. The things to watch out for when it comes to buying boxes is that you rarely get the value of the box out of them. Sickening fucked around with this message at 20:45 on Jan 21, 2016 |

So, random fun fact, Jace and Nicole are showing up in a Kaijudo set (which is apparently still going strong in Japan). When this card enters the battlefield, draw three cards and put two cards from your hand on top of your library. When this creature attacks, return target creature an opponent controls to it's owner's hand.  If this card enters the mana zone, it comes into play tapped. Double Breaker When this creature enters the battlefield, your opponent chooses seven cards from his hand and discards them. Whenever this creature attacks, destroy target creature an opponent controls.

Sorry for the #mtgfinance, but Modern Event Deck at 85 CAD (60 USD) is a pretty good deal right now, I'm guessing? Hang on to it sealed? edit: How does City of Brass tap for colourless? Did the rules change?

I would consider the mana for colored decks to be about as perfect as it ever gets in standard right now. Painlands however would make the mana work to the level that was reasonable for about any 3 color deck pre-battle lands. The question is if reality smasher and other deviod stuff is powerful enough to make the mana worse for it. I have no idea because I haven't playtested any new standard at all. We will find out this weekend though.
