By the time I was aware that damaged used the stack, I had been playing only casual Magic with Lorwyn and Shards of Alara block cards for a year. So when I finally lived somewhere with organized play, I learned about damage on the stack and it was removed in two months with the release of Magic 2010. I understand how to play with that mechanic now, but I still say good riddance to combat damage using the stack.

Jabor posted:Wizards literally said that ending core sets would mean they're reprint more cards in expansions, but somehow that ended up being stuff like Mind Rot instead of cards people actually want to play. Missed this yesterday but as someone who primarily plays non-rotating sets this is the most disappointing development of the last couple of years. I always felt that core sets actually made thing easier to reprint since those sets didn't have flavor ties to worry about, and you could reprint stuff that referenced certain characters or places. That being said, I think this concept began to bleed out when Thoughtseize had way too much influence over the meta when THS was in Standard and died when Wizards realized they could do Masterpieces, look like they were fulfilling this promise, and drive pack sales even more.

If they printed every supplemental set like Conspiracy 2 then it wouldn't be a problem.

ManMythLegend posted:Fallen Empires was terrible, but I'll always have a soft spot for it because it gave us Goblin Grenade which I used to great effect in my old proto-burn deck. Fallen Empires was the weakest set released to that point and was over printed but I think there are a lot of playable cards in that set. There are some gems in Hymn to Tourach, Goblin War Drums, High Tide, Icatian Javelineers, Order of the Ebon Hand, & Order of Leitbur. At the time Thallids and Thrulls were popular and decent decks. I always liked cards like Aeolipile, Homarid Spawning Bed, Seasinger, Spore Cloud, & Goblin Warrens. Rainbow Vale holds a special place in the hearts of all my friends whom played in that era; passing the land between each other in open warfare group games. edt. How did I forget Night Soil? I played that in sideboard for extended when Odyssey block was in standard No Luck Needed fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Dec 15, 2016 |

If only for the sake of streamers, on MTGO there should be some indicator of the number of games already played in the match, and who won them. (Unless it's already there?)

Rinkles posted:To be honest, I look forward to new Oaths being revealed, even though I don't care much about the characters involved. Me too, it's sort of neat that we can expect a mega-cycle of cards to continue as long as they keep adding new good-aligned planeswalkers. I'm pleasantly surprised they didn't end them with the five colors each getting one.

There aren't a ton of cards that interact with or support Planeswalkers specifically either, so these Oaths provide a little extra push to run that type of card (I'm actually trying a couple Oath of Gideon in Modern BW Tokens since it makes tokens and I'm a little heavy on PWs). If I was being super-cynical I would say this is a push to make people want PWs even more so they'll go out and buy more packs, but I don't think we're quite at that point.

It's kind of fun looking at the list of alive PWs and thinking how they could finagle them into the gatewatch through the fiction and what their oath cards might be. But I'm a dumb nerd.

Sky Sovereign is at least a Mythic. It's an insane bomb but it doesn't show up every other game like the train. And I typically end up with 2 trains per draft.
