It does however, seat like 45 people comfortably inside that tiny space. They usually get like 65+ though. The lady who runs it is nice and knowledgeable AFAIK (only went once) but my buddy who went another time said the rest of her family is all like super weird awkward nerds and he felt uncomfortable there. Thisuck posted:You'll also be near Frank and Sons, probably one of the cheapest ways to get cards here in SoCal. Franks is fun to walk around, I never bothered buying cards when I was there. Lots of vendors, though. It's like a giant nerd closet / toy chest, and I was amazed at how much ugly junky poo poo some random comic store guy was trying to sell for $80. Like, I guess there is a market for "well loved" toys from the 70s, but I'm clearly not it.

I'd be more worried that twenty legacy decks is just basically a cool 20 grand that somebody could throw in a backpack and run off with in a couple minutes in the middle of the night. And probably suggests that there's a hell of a lot more money lying around the store with not even bars on the windows to stop anybody from breaking in there with a rock and five seconds. It would not be the first time

That's like every magic store, ever, though, which is why they get hit from time to time.

Don't think most retail stores are keen on putting metals bars over their windows. Not the most welcoming image.

Fingers McLongDong posted:Mindslaver let's you do a lot of weird stuff, literally anything other than concede. Fail to finds, paying Phyrexian mana, etc. The Phyrexian mana one is worth noting because you can kill people with their own spellskites. Spellskites ability targets literally any spell or ability, whether it's a valid redirect or not, surprisingly few people know that. You can even look through their sideboard, funnily enough.

It's hard to say a lot about that card without knowing the other side but my guess is that we're going to have a bunch of things that are pre- and post-emrakul emerging

I think the best thing about Hanweir is that Emrakul managed to turn it into a giant shambling ooze. I hope we get a Human Werewolf Eldrazi Horror because that seems like a mouthful.

So I wonder if instead of Devoid coming back we'll just have a bunch of colored non-eldrazi creatures that transform into colorless Eldrazi. That would actually be kind of neat. I wonder how many "cares-about-colorless" cards a la Eldrazi Aggresor or Swarm Surge we'll get?

I'd imagine that we're more likely to see horror tribal than referencing colorlessness or Eldrazi directly. There are a decent number of horrors seeded in SOI so that'd make the sets play better together.

This set will be drafted EDM-EDM-SOI, right? So there's got to be some synergy with the SOI stuff. I wonder if the Eldrazi flip cards will use a different flip condition than the werewolves? There's stuff that still works even then, like Cult of the Waxing moon triggers when your dudes flip into Eldrazi monstrosities, no matter what the flip trigger is. I hope we get a Moonmist type card that works with both werewolves and flip-drazi. "Transform all humans. Prevent all damage dealt by non-eldrazi creatures this turn" would be cool. If I had to guess I'd bet on the returning mechanics being just DFCs and Delirium, with no more Madness or Investigate cards. Oh and I guess Skulk will probably still be there, but I've almost forgotten Skulk is a new set mechanic at this point. It really feels like something that's going to be evergreen as a common creature mechanic that blue and black can share, since that color pair doesn't hasn't really had that until now. It seems to fit so well that at this point I'll be surprised if it doesn't end up becoming an evergreen thing like Prowess did.

Basically the problem was that it doesn't have any interesting design space beyond tacking it onto poo poo for no real reason.

Drake, Flicker Drake and land, Archaeomancer Flicker, make a lot of mana, play Sage's Row Denizen, loop Flicker a bunch. You have no library. Your turn. lol jk I kept a two lander with Brainstorm, Ponder, Island and Evolving Wilds and now I have 40 cards left in my library, it's turn 8, and I still have two lands in play.

It feels like one of those kinda-boring-but-plays-well creature mechanics that's easy to tack on to common creatures to keep combat interesting along the lines of Menace. I mean it's obviously not splashy but makes sense to me as a black-blue creature keyword.
