mcmagic posted:Ehh. I did think Grapple was playable from the beginning. Yeah, I even remember you saying this. I'm pretty sure I ignored spoiler season aside from saying that Lili seemed like she could be good and that anyone wanting her + to be +2 or -2/-2 was an idiot.

So what kinda odds are we giving on a card or two that can interact with the opponents graveyard seeing print? Will Wizards quadruple down on their new hate-free paradigm, condemning standard to drudgery for 3 more months? Will they learn from their mistakes and atone for them by letting us actually interact with the cards they print? Will mcmagic call every new card bad, again? Find out all this and more soon, on 'Magic: the Gathering: the Thread: Spoiler Season'

in retrospect yeah i horribly under-rated emmy, severely underestimated how often she would be cast for 8 or 9 mana, in addition to somehow thinking the extra turn negated the mindslaver turn

mandatory lesbian posted:in retrospect yeah i horribly under-rated emmy, severely underestimated how often she would be cast for 8 or 9 mana, in addition to somehow thinking the extra turn negated the mindslaver turn Most people did; we previously hadn't seen a Mindslaver effect that wasn't just an effective time walk on TOP of the taking control of their next turn deal, and basically just wrote it off as unplayable while ignoring the 13/13 flying trampler for 8 or less mana it was attached to. Honestly, I think the weakening and removal of interacting with your opponent's plans and (to a lesser extent) their printing better answers that shut down ways of interacting with your opponent (i.e. Selfless Spirit and Avacyn loving over destruction-based removal and wrath effects) is the single biggest problem with Standard. Broken cards come and go (sometimes with bans), but design philosophies take much longer to be corrected than individual mistakes.

All I remember thinking about Ishkanah after she was revealed was that I already got a GB 5-CMC commander with a weird gimmick last set, but the Gitrog Monster is so much cooler as a build-around-me card.

Hellsau posted:Liliana is great, it's just that in the GW Everything meta, she's too weak. I can imagine a large number of standard formats where she'd be fantastic. If her +1 was -X/-2 she'd be way too good. Her Ultimate does actually win the game, unlike most (all?) of the other three mana 'walker ultimates. Hellsau posted:Dack's is - Faithless Looting vs. Disfigure. Both are reasonably powerful one-mana spells. Dack's ultimate is pretty bad and his -2 is great, Liliana's -2 is medium and her ultimate is great. It really depends on if Liliana fits into some sort of Delirium deck since she adds Planeswalkers for that card type and getting back a Big Spider seems good? I'm really smart.

It's VERY HARD for something that puts 6/11 of reach into play for 5 mana to be bad especially when it's over 4 bodies. I mean Hornet Queen was awesome and that was 2 mana more for less P/T. It was only a matter of how often you were going to be getting to delirium.

So a set of these and Lupine Prototype driving stupid trains and whatnot into the opponent? Toss in scrappy for recursive crewing and go Mardu for disintegration?. Sounds bad, but I'll probably play it at my store.
