The Marauder posted:A small cycle of legendary lands would be pretty cool. They could be an obvious setup for a legendary moon manland in Eldritch Moon. Legendary lands are super super rare these days. Lands that reference specific locations? Sure, you can have something like Grove of the Guardian or whatever. Actual Legendary Land? I think the only ones printed in a standard legal set since CSP are Eye of Ugin, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth(in M15), and Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx. They don't like the gameplay, iirc.

Legendary is a bad mechanic so I guess they mostly don't use it unless forced to (eg by EDH or the story).

A lot of legendary cards dont feel legendary, actually. Yasova Dragonclaw could've been literally anybody.

I just noticed Shadows is having Werewolves come back; but didn't Avacyn remove all the werewolves in AVR and turn them into the ones that can't transform?

There were only 2 wolfir in AVR so it doesn't seem too hard to just say "it didn't work".

Had a record low FNM turnout this week with 7 players (and the store owner for 8). Seems a lot of people are burned out on this Standard environment. And I don't blame them. Everyone but myself were playing 4 color monstrosities with 16 fetches and just "Good Stuff" crammed in to the same mess. Take a guess at which deck one, WRUG CoCo, WRBU Aggro, UBWG Control, or BWGR Combo? The answer is it doesn't matter, it was all dumb. I, on the other hand, played Mono U Eldrazi Aggro and had a blast. A shame it loses a lynch pin in Ghostfire Blade at rotation. I don't think nonbasic lands have ever been as essential to a strategy as they were in my game tonight - between tomb of the spirit dragon and foundry of consuls they were MVPs next to Ghostfire Blade and Dimensional Infiltrator. Others can lament their mana bases as much as they want, I long for the days where 1- and 2-color decks reign supreme again!

At uncommon definitely. 2U for a 3/2 flyer would historically need a drawback.

There are exactly 2 3/2 fliers for 3 cmc that don't have a drawback. Sedraxis Specter, which costs URB and Wasp Lancer, which costs U/B U/B U/B.

Barry Shitpeas posted:Option 4: make it a 5 mana 6/3 or whatever so it "feels mythic", thus completely changing the function of the card Option 5: eliminate mythic rarity altogether for non-planeswalkers. Even better, gently caress planeswalkers too.  Yes, I know this is stupid and will never ever ever happen. Let me dream.
