I can't say I blame Nahiri that much "Hey Sorin, where the gently caress where you when the Eldrazi woke up 300 years ago?" "Oh sorry, I completely didn't even think about them." "About the multiverse ending monsters that we locked away in my home and we swore to stop?" "Yeah, been busy" So she decided gently caress Sorin and gently caress his indifference to her home, she's going to murder his family, and draw the awakened Emrakul to Innistrad, then ask Sorin how the gently caress he likes it? Ugin must be so ashamed of his companions. He wakes up after 1000 years of death-nap and the two people he left to manage their shared duty decided to go bumfuck stupid with each other.

Angry Grimace posted:Nah, she's like "Sorin plz help" and he's like "gimme a second I just got done creating my perfect waifu" and Nahiri immediately goes "gently caress YOU" and attacks. It doesn't seem like Sorin ever explains his hesitance? If he'd said "hey I just did a big thing, I need a few days to recover" Nahiri probably wouldn't have flipped out. Instead he condescends to her, reneges on his obligation, and then when she gets justifiably pissed he lets his angelic enforcer pick a fight rather than try to defuse the situation. I mean, it's poorly written, but Sorin comes off like the much guiltier party here.

Onmi posted:I can't say I blame Nahiri that much Avacyn attacked her and then it seems like Sorin decided to stick Nahiri in the Helvault instead of trying to actually reason with her. This would both explain what she's been up to for all these years and also why she's so pissed. I find the idea of Sorin locking a "friend" for hundreds of years in a prison holding a bunch of angry, immortal demons hilarious. What could possibly go wrong?

I enjoy Sorin being portrayed as a contemptuous rear end in a top hat with no real regard for lesser beings (meaning virtually everyone). "Sorry I forgot to come help you with those reality-consuming monstrosities we imprisoned on your homeworld like I promised I would, kid, but you raised your voice to me about it so gently caress off."

Remember when Zendikar was doomed in the original block when Sorin never bothered to explain to Nissa what the gently caress he was trying to do on Zendikar, leading to her to mistrust him when she found out he was a vampire and had no idea what he was doing with the Hedron? Sorin is just the worst, and this really is everything crashing down for him. He shows up to find Ugin and it's like "The Eldrazi are here, we have to stop them" "Okay cool, where's Nahiri." "... We don't REALLY need Nahiri do we, she doesn't really like me all that much we can do this ourselves right?" "Sorin. Go find Nahiri, and do not come back until you have her with you." Now he's headed home and his entire family is dead and he's been forced to kill his waifu-angel

Looks that way.Grafted Wargear Rulings on Gatherer posted:You may activate this card’s equip ability targeting the creature that it is currently attached to, even if it’s the only creature you control. Since the equip ability costs zero, you can do this as many times as you like during your main phases, though it generally won’t do anything.

I like how Sorin doesn't interfere in the fight between Nahiri and Avacyn until it becomes clear that Avacyn is outmatched. I assume the part of the story where he locks her in the Helvault will be forthcoming. I bet that part, and the part where Nahiri returns to Zendikar to find it lain to waste will be from Nahiri's point of view. I also bet Sorin will also completely neglect to mention his relationship with Nahiri to Olivia Voldaren and will just say something like "she's a planar threat, must be stopped etc." Sorin is a huge dick and for someone who is very old and supposedly wise and above human emotions he certainly lets his pride and sense of superiority dictate many of his actions.

Well yeah he's a loving vampire. Not only that, he's an Ancient Planeswalker. Dude once had power akin to a literal deity. And hell he created a force so powerful on his home plane that he could have completely wiped out his own people. He's White/Black now, Order tempered with selfish power.

Speaking of (paper) formats that got hot and then disappeared my friends and I finally put together some (paper) pauper decks and, yeah, this format is great. Buying a deck for $20 isn't bad either. I got u delver and they got b control and acid trip--what should my next deck be? I like tempo, combo, aggro, control, midrange in about that order. I know one of them is also planning on elves so outside of the decks we already have or will have sell me on your fav pauper deck.

Now you can create Big Fatties where it has to cost 6+ to play and you start with 3-4 basic lands in play. Get 60+ creatures/spells that cost 6 or more in one deck and dump the massive worthless rares while pumping your format.

Those both look pretty sweet. Weird seeing flame slashes and firebolts but no bolts. I assume it's mostly because the deck plays at sorcery speed and usually doesn't care about burn to the face? I just really love, love lightning bolt.

Pontius Pilate posted:4 Bolt over Flame Slash is probably ok. The main thing it misses is Nivix Cyclops, which you really do need to kill. Firebolt is non-negotiable as a 4-of. It's early disruption that you can combine with your absurd mana advantage later in the game to take down bigger threats. I've actually been playing a Chainer's Edict over the 2nd Flame Slash and it's been pretty good.

In addition to killing Nivix Cyclops (this is really important if you want to beat that deck) 4 toughness is also the threshold to kill most of the creatures in Affinity, which will be very relevant in your games against them. It also catches some other creatures like Spire Golems and Grey Merchants, though those generally aren't must-kill threats. You'll still be a bit lacking in answers for Gurmag Angler but most decks don't play that one out very early.

Also worth noting that there aren't actually any answers for Angler outside of Terminate, which is in a color combination that nobody plays, and 3 mana spells that also nobody plays.

It's still a little strange, as someone who's still learning the format, that in a world where Black and Red are so heavily played and Termite provides a clean answer to so many relevant threats, nobody ever plays the two colors together. There are a few heavily-played 2 cmc answers to Angler, though. Journey to Nowhere straight removes it from the board and stops it from being reanimated (though UB decks may be able to bounce it later), and there's a broad array of edict effects that can hit it if it doesn't have a board around it. It's still a huge pain in the rear end that will take over the game if you don't have an answer ready almost immediately after it resolves, though.
