Death Bot posted:As someone who watches a fair amount of DnT but doesn't play, I'd argue that wastelands turn some combo matchups from non-games into games, and I feel like this happens more often than the other way around just due to how many decks in the format are built knowing they might eat a few wastes and ports Sure, sometimes your Wastelands let you play an Actual Game of Magic against something like ANT. But that's not the same as what the complaining is about, which is non-games. Even then, you're usually not Wasting them until turn 3 unless you have a Vial and you don't have a Thalia, which means you're playing against a slower draw anyway.

Watch then shoe-horn some holy trinity bullshit like Elspeth, the Risen, her father who was the dude that did the original WOG, and some spirit god that my limited Catholic knowledge prevents me from detailing.

The three missing gods are vintage, legacy, and extended. Bolas killed them to take their power so he could destroy standard.

The three gods will be that demon Liliana is after, Storm Crow, and 1996 World Champion.

The trinity is a very widespread Christian thing, not just Catholic, and a good chunk of nontrinitarian sects border on cultish fyi.

Emrakul is one of the missing gods, but the other two are Smuggler's Copter and Reflector Mage. Tomorrow they'll make an emergency retcon to the story article to mention a fourth missing god.

It occurs to me that bouncing a Trial, say Of Ambition with a cartouche will trigger Revolt, so I'm taking a look at a BW Revolt deck with Displacer. Also inclined to look at Zombie tribal and BW walkers, since I like the new Liliana and hope Sorin is playable again.

Look I'm not saying that I want eldrazi back and I'm not saying that they will be back, but wizards having "3 missing gods" and Nissa saying the one she spoke with felt like Emrakaul, and wizards trying to push a half arsed story line with recurring things almost fits too well. I don't think that Wizards would bring them back this soon, but it wouldn't be too bad to have a nod to them on every plane here on out if only to drive home the fact that they're almost omnipotent and have a presence on every plane.

Amonkhet having cycling and two flashback style mechanics has me genuinely excited to draft which hasn't been true since like I dunno RTR or something.

Quick rules question, if I hit a walking ballista and an eternal witness off of collected company, can I return the ballista (which dies immediately) to my hand with the witness trigger?

I was sorting cards with friends at a shop the other day and Mind Twist came up (due to great new art). I've always thought that it should be unbanned in Legacy and the only reason it's on the ban list is due to traumatic memories from childhood, but my friend did bring up that mind twist in storm decks could give them another angle to trap opponents. Since so much of storm's game is trying to bait out countermagic, mind twist might make it too easy for storm players to give their opponent a lose/lose proposition, like force this and then die, or let it resolve and lose your force. I dunno, was anyone around to play with mind twist in a competitive fashion?

Scry by itself would be fine as the evergreen draw smoothing mechanic if they'd put it on more than handful of (almost nearly all blue) cards each set.
