suicidesteve posted:Well yeah, we're assuming a lot: there are good discard outlets, Madness is playable with them, and Ulamog's Nullifier is playable. There's also all the other processors that process as an activated ability. Good spell based discard outlets and as far as our activated abilities go for processing, there's: a 2/3 for 3, a 3/5 for 5, and 3/3 for 4, all otherwise vanilla with no immediate value gain. I'll admit to being wrong about only having sorcery speed processing, but I doubt standard is going to be Madness centric enough for those limited fodder creatures to see some play, especially with some of the more crazy efficient Eldrazi running around. Madness is probably going to see use but not to that extent. Also, pre-spoiler season spoiler arguments. Ramos fucked around with this message at 14:38 on Feb 15, 2016 |

I think 'discard as a cost' is a very obvious way to enable madness and we'll probably see a fair amount of it in SoI.

The block format is now only 2 "set" blocks, right? So the next set will be Shadows over Innistrad?

I mean the Ulamog's Nullifier bit is fun and good, but the bigger issue with be people trying to flip jace with a madness card.

Owen is a goober but his article today on CFB is pretty good: http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/saving-my-pro-tour-draft/ Although I don't know how much value you can get out of an article where the crux is "open the best Mythic in the set"

cheetah7071 posted:It looks like the details on how madness works is changing with SoI, based on the new reminder text. Right now, if you discard a card with madness into a graveyard of five cards, you can choose whether jace's flip trigger or the madness spell resolves first. With the new rules coming up, the flip will resolve first, assuming I remember the new reminder text right. Jace does not have any triggers, though. His flip will always resolve before anything that triggers off of the discard.

Really interesting article over at MTG Goldfish about the current state of Modern http://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/the-modern-dilemma The recent Eldrazi menace combined with trends in banning and the increase of card prices has basically thrown the format into an existential crises.

What I'm saying is bring back pod and give bogles something silly like a 2/1 hexproof nad flash for GW with "etb destroy target artifact or enchantment"

I think the best part is that FoW has fantastic art. This has me legitimately excited. Doesn't this mean they've said "gently caress the reserved list and gently caress you"? I mean, isn't Wasteland on the reserved list?

Force of Will being mythic is okay. It's still going to drop the prices of Forces by at least $30. Wasteland is going to tank though. Also, hold on to your butts for any card that doesn't see a reprint in this set, because it's going to double in price the second the full spoiler is out.

Drop the prices of Force just like Tarmogoyf, you mean? I'll be happy to be wrong, but I'll believe it when I see it.
