I'm going to guess "not a clone" because I don't actually remember the last time we had 2 clones in a set

Angry Grimace posted:hmmmmm So yeah, artifact block all but confirmed now. Given the precedent of Scars of Mirrodin, the original Mirrodin, and Urza's Saga (yes, I know that was supposed to have been an enchantment block, but the artifact theme was also busted), something is probably going to get banned from Standard again thanks to how powerful artifact blocks tend to be. At least it might be a change of pace from our current midrange hell.

Babby's first LGS drama is currently kicking off in our city. An old store has gotten into a facebook slapfight with a new place over advertising each others events. What a time to be alive.

So somebody did really well with a GW Tron list that plays White over Red for Path and different sideboard cards. Modern players - how crazy is it to run Oust over Path to Exile? The creature will come back with Oust two turns later, but it's still a 1 for 1 and it doesn't ramp your opponent. Tron isn't trying to reduce the opponents resources and grind them out, so just buying time seems like it's good enough. Is the instant speed of Path that important, or are there creatures that Tron actually needs to get rid of permanently?

Holy poo poo, I just realized Fortune's Favour is one face up pile and one face down pile. For some reason I thought they were both face down. I feel like that probably made me look like a huge idiot on MTGO on a few occasions. Which, I guess is warranted here, and nothing new, but wow.

I'd have to have a tron player tell me, but specifically in that G/x style tron, where you're doing pretty much everything else at sorcery speed (minus map and o stone activations), it's probably okay. The 3 life certainly does not matter. Though it's kinda awkward that you probably can't run Horizon Canopies since the life loss for you actually DOES matter.

Infect and various builds of Zoo are going to assfuck you as soon as they git probe your hand and see a removal spell that can't interact with their pump spells. EDIT: It also means you can't use it to kill Thought-Knot in response to the trigger, interrupt various combos like Kiki, or protect yourself from hasty beaters / flash dudes on your end step.

Sorcery vs Instant means you're going to have to always be pro-active in whether you want to oust their guy or pop expedition map or whatever other instant speed action you have. You don't have a ton of instant speed action but I don't feel like ramping them with path is often relevant against you - you're typically not racing them to mana so much as you're trying to hit 7 on turn 3, although I can see putting them on crumble to dust a turn earlier could be troublesome. I don't think the tuck or life gain are relevant drawbacks but that sorcery speed seems like a big hurdle.

Conspiracy 2 trip report: --Tell myself not to get suckered into the aggro deck. --Open Adriana P1p1. --Have red and white be super-open outside of mid P2. --Draft RW Aggro/Melee with a bunch of Humans and Soldiers and TWO Paliano Vanguard on Human and Soldier. Also four Ill-Tempered Cyclops with an Incendiary Dissent for them because fuckin why not. --Get paired with UW Control, UB Control, and Junk Conspiracies as punishment for my sins. Do nothing past turn 5 other than gently caress with people using Custodi Peacekeeper. Never draw Adriana and never get a Vanguard in play with a creature to boost. --End up in a position where a Peacekeeper activation decides who wins the game, guaranteeing that I'm directly responsible for feelbads.  Most valuable (price) card I saw all evening was a Ghostly Prison (which I took). Had to pass a Selvala that I want for EDH because I was already in bed with RW. Dude in the other pod opened a foil Berserk. Most valuable (gameplay) was the Custodi Peacekeeper, P2 the guy in front of me hatedrafted two when he saw me take one P1.It might be a good draft set but man I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a draft. It was basically like playing EDH but shittier, as someone in my quartet said it's a good thing we start at 20 life instead of 40. The Junk deck that won my quartet was sweet, he basically drafted all the Copperhorn Scouts and Voyaging Satyrs he could and grabbed SEVEN conspiracies that named them. Don't sleep on Conspiracies y'all. Maybe I'll post a decklist later, the deck seemed sweet on paper but just like my last Conspiracy draft I drafted a deck that was dope for 1v1 and got my rear end beat because I was actually playing four player.

I tried to go play on xmage. I want to use my irl decks, but the problem is they're such a mix of blocks that they seem to only be legal in legacy. And they definitely cannot stand up to the 100,000 dollar decks people play in there. What do? Is there a "just be chill and use whatever but don't go sperglord try-hard extraordinaire" game type? I feel like that'd be casual, but apparently casual isn't its own thing, just a description of the level of other things?

I feel like that'd be casual, but apparently casual isn't its own thing, just a description of the level of other things? money is no object on xmage, if someone is looking for a legacy game, they want to play against a real legacy deck. 99.99% of players don't care if you actually own the cards irl, so go ahead and build whatever you'd like. If it's important to you for only play with the cards you have, then you can try joining casual rooms, but casual online is a huge crapshoot because you and your opponent most likely do not have the same definition of casual. If there's casual legacy rooms, they'll probably be people who still have expensive rear end decks but have some goofy win condition.
