Jabor posted:I'd imagine it's a space issue. Cascade uses "whose converted mana cost is less than this spell's converted mana cost" in the rulebook (where space isn't a concern), and simply "that costs less" in the reminder text (where you just need to get the idea across without being totally precise). It seems like it's usually "less than or equal to" which is a fair bit longer, so you're probably right.

Here's a hot take: Scrap Trawler will probably be good in affinity I'll mainly be happy if I can go mini-wrath > Shardless Agent > whatever in Legacy though

If you're paying 3 mana for something in Affinity, would you rather have an unkillable Etched Champion, or an 8/8 Master of Etherium that pumps all your other critters? Maybe there's a grindy build of Affinity available that wants Scrap Trawler, or maybe some sort of combo with Phyrexian Metamorph or something, but I can't see Trawler being good enough in regular beatdown Affinity.

Yeah, I don't think it's better than Master of Etherium or Etched Champion, maybe a matchup will come up where it's a good sideboard card? Also perhaps for shenanigans with Arcbound Ravager? But Affinity has a load of CMC0 artifacts that do nothing with this, so many that I don't think it's offset by the CMC1 guys being replaced with them, especially since Nexuses won't be artifacts in the GY.

Yeah, I was mainly thinking Ravager shenanigans. Sac off all the 0-mana artifacts, sac off all the 1-mana artifacts, replay all the 0-mana ones. It's probably a bit win more.

February's FNM Promo is Fortune's Favor, breaking the chain they had of cards that have at least seen some play somewhere.  Also this week's story is about the Aetherborn Yahenni (from the spoiled sweeper) and is actually a really interesting concept.

Sounds a like it'd have a much better chance as part of a KCI/Eggs-style combo deck than as a value play. Not completely sure what that would look like, but anything that puts you up a card every time you do the thing your deck is built around doing has potential to be very busted.

Three mana bomberman that dodges pithing needle effects but not fetchable with imperial recruiter seems solid for that fringe deck. Cons are you need the bomb in play or in hand to go off with it and it dies to bolt. Definitely would not replace bomberman but a 1-of in the board to bring in with an e. tutor package against faster combo seems legit. Edit: never mind you can't loop it without some other junk going on. Maybe it will work in eggs in modern. PERPETUAL IDIOT fucked around with this message at 20:50 on Nov 30, 2016 |

Friendly reminder to everyone to not buy poo poo from Troll and Toad. I've had friends complain about their extremely lovely grading before but bought a $40 card from their ebay store since I had an ebay coupon. Card was advertised as NM, and it has light scratches all over it like it was in a box without a sleeve, as well as pen-tip sized dents along the side and bottom border.

A big flaming stink posted:how the hell does common bond have bugs. If it was implemented new, I'd guess "it puts a +1/+1 counter on two target creatures instead of what the card actually says". But since it was working fine when RTR was around the first time, I have no idea what they could have possibly changed to break it.

Here's the rest of Quicksmith Rebel. The full text seems to be: Quicksmith Rebel, 3R Creature - Human Artificer When Quicksmith Rebel enters the battlefield, target artifact you control gains "T: This artifact deals 2 damage to target creature or player" for as long as you control Quicksmith Rebel. 3/2 The fact that it's not actually a Rebel makes me sad, though.

Seems pretty sweet to toss on some static effect artifact or, if we want to get creative, one of those ones from OG Mirrodin that only do an effect when untapped.

Yeah, they're sponsoring "content" related to the Standard Showdown packs. I don't think they're necessarily seeding them (I saw nothing but junk get opened), but advertising is a thing.

Yeah there's an uneasy feeling I'm getting from WotC right now. I think they're exploiting the goodwill and trust the community puts in to certain content creators. The TCC Professor made a video on the packs that basically said "Standard showdown is a great move! Hopefully your packs are better than mine!" when in the past he has made videos saying WotC should probably make boosters worth the money people spend on them.
