I know somebody trying to brew up a standard deck with it and 4 Touch of Tezzeret, I hope it works. There seems to be SOMETHING there with all the artifact synergies and recursion synergies for artifacts.

Man, gently caress my luck this weekend, amazing pools but I am mulliganing no landers down to 4 with 17 lands in the deck. Every game I have lost I am stuck at 2 lands. Current deck has smuggler's copter and the new pain train, pirate legendary, aerial responder, the the drop rw tap and target creature can't block, bunch of other value 3 drops. Argh!

I went to my first prerelease and finished 1-2,lost a close last match. It was really fun, I opened Tezzeret, paradox engine, a ton of artifacts, and shaeeli's artistry, and barals expertise. It was a decent deck for my first sealed event, I just wish I would of had better aggro creatures to go that path.

It's a lot more consistent than it was but it's still a deck that falls over to stony and leyline.

Some of the cards landed face up so I had to do it again to make sure it was properly randomized


Just kidding, got second place with RW three drops.

Ended up opening a sweet WR aggro pool and went 5-0. Played a dozen two drops and just had a bunch of 4 mana removal and good vehicles like Opalchase Dragster and Untethered Express. Metallic Mimic was probably my most overperforming card, getting me at least two counters each time I played it. Naming bird and going Eddytail Hawk into Aetherstorm Roc is pretty sweet.

Just got back from the 2 HG pre-release. Partner's promo was Heart of Kiran, mine was Inspiring Statuary. Pulled an Ajani and Tezz and went 3-1, felt real good.

Piloting the 7/11 on turn 3 in our last game was hilarious and super fun.

Given the tease at the end of the Kaladesh storyline, it's almost certain they're doing it for the 25th anniversary or whatever.

I think sooner, the fall set hasn't been announced right? I'd bet it is "return to Dominaria" basically the teaser makes me think the plot is more or less "go to Amonkhet, Bolas beats the poo poo out of the Jacetice League, they retreat to Dominaria."

We have a fair number of people in the irc chat that use it, also.


The card that overperformed the most for me this weekend was Cogwork Assembler. Multiple opponents had to double check it when I copied their sweet artifact bombs. Probably a lot more niche in draft, but in sealed (especially #PrereleasePromo), I saw no end of strong artifacts.


Also got to watch someone open an Ajani promo, a Nissa, and another Ajani. EDIT: In their prerelease pool.

i used to have this happen to me a lot in paper magic and honestly it's just because i wasn't shuffling well. but also i have nerve damage in one of my hands and just can't, but luckily you can actually get assistance from a judge, yay judges thanks! but seriously maybe practice shuffling more, i mean there's a chance you just got super unlucky but it sounds like a Mechanical Error

I got it all figured out I just separated my deck into two piles, and alternated lands with spells and my mana issues went away

While that's the most likely thing, I've also been wondering if distributing those images was some sort of clever market research to gauge interest in a mesoamerican-esque expansion.

But then I remembered we were talking about Wizards.

To be fair, Conquest of Power may win the prize for dumbest magic set name ever. I wouldn't be surprised if they change it before the announcement.

An unactivated vehicle, I believe.

Cloning is in the first layer, while a type-changing effect is the fourth layer if I remember correctly, so it doesn't copy over.

I don't really believe that, but it is definitely possible those sets are further down the line than right after Amonkhet.
