I could swear I've seen that cat dragon token somewhere before. Edit: I dunno, maybe I'm just thinking about the dragon from that cartoon movie. Siivola fucked around with this message at 07:58 on May 25, 2017 |

So I impulse bought a box of mm17 last week, and somehow lucked out on getting these six pulls. I was happily surprised.

I think the way token color is depicted is the same as for creatures when it comes to multicolor; mixture of the two colors in the border if it's two colors, solid gold if three or more. Assuming they're real, cat dragon is meh, O-Kaguchi is peak Kamigawa legend (read: weak and overcosted for what it does), and the Ur-Dragon lives up to the name.

If this is real, I might get my wish of a five colour knight tribal deck.  Edit: Not that I have any idea what a deck like that would actually do. Siivola fucked around with this message at 11:19 on May 25, 2017 |

Haakon and nameless inversion, what else? Edit: I thought that which was taken was okagachis kid, not his own divinity. Just doesn't make sense that the biggest most important kami is smaller than a lot other kami while still being death upon being sighted (even when that which was taken hadn't been returned!) to all creatures on any plane. I started in kamigawa block so maybe that's why this annoys me so much. Ought to be a 12-15 drop cast trigger exile all other creatures and some bullshit I win ability and maybe a rider like "can only etb when cast from hand, not through any other effects" to stop sneak and show, reanimator, etc. shenanigans Molybdenum fucked around with this message at 12:39 on May 25, 2017 |

mcmagic posted:Anyone with SCG Premium have MIchael Majors' latest Death Shadow list? OK, so there is a decent amount of context around the two lists he posted: Quick summary: 4 color version has high tension between enablers and payoffs. "You will often end up in situations where your cards become difficult to turn on and then you're simply treading water and casting an interactive spell or two while waiting for the rest of your hand to develop properly. This dilutes the inherent strengths of the deck, speed and mana efficiency. As a result, this approach to Four-Color Shadow Strikes me as a "glass cannon." Tarfire good with rise of CoCo and also can be best card for enabling Shadow/Goyf/Traverse simultaneously. Stubborn Denial > TBR because it protects lead long enough to finish and gives lots of % against combo. This build attempts to make this strategy as consistent as possible.  Next deck is kind of a "test new concepts in DS" list. Taking principles of Clay's deck and porting it in opposite direction. Hyper disruptive and generates large bodies to play defense, along with card advantage and grindy elements. Mentions he would like to play 4 thought scour and likely another fatal push but hard to squeeze it all in there.  Speaking of Clay's deck, Majors says "Clay's deck and the movement that will result from its success is essentially the second step in getting Death's Shadow banned." This was a lot of effort to get around just pasting the entire paid article because of  concerns

Molybdenum posted:Haakon and nameless inversion, what else? Looking at the Wiki, That Which Was Taken was his daughter but he wanted to eat her to make her part of him again. So I guess the source of his divinity became a being in its own right after being taken out? Nerd Stuff posted:Though Kyodai seemed insignificant in the shadow of her "father", she had once been a part of O-Kagachi, and not just any part -- she had been its divinity, the core of its being. Now that she was separate from O-Kagachi and had a form and will of her own, she did not wish to be consumed into the essence of the Great Serpent again. She desired to keep her freedom and individuality, and to save the lives of the people who had set her free after twenty years of imprisonment. Sharing her power with Princess Michiko, she confronted her father. Magic lore is weird.

Pontius Pilate posted:e: whoops I live for weird callbacks in Magic so I'm rooting for these to be real. Magic is like the one franchise where I have intense nostalgia for characters/content from its early days and I'm not really sure why I feel that for Magic and not other things. Maybe because there's perhaps the only franchise I care about where they haven't already drained the nostalgia well.

If Commander 2017 is five-color decks, then one of the commanders to be the Reaper King. And get or lord and savior Progenitus in there too.

Standard Blue-Red players: To go the 24/25 land with Hieroglyphic build or 26 lands with anticipate? I am also debating on a third Sweltering Sun vs either Commit / Memory or summary dismissal.

Man I just do not understand limited. For draft, I tried to rock a Nest of Scarabs deck. I ended up getting two of them, a Decimator Beetle, 4 Stingscorch whatever 4 drops, and random Approach of the Second Sun. I thought I had decent support for the -1/-1 counters archetype, but I didn't take a single game. I felt like other decks either had a flier or two that I couldn't deal with, went wider than me, or was quicker than I could get a Nest plus anything else out. Trying to build around enchantments seems really bad when you can be swinging for 8 or something on turn 4. For the sealed league, I opened two Cascading Cataracts (one promo), Drake Haven, the white token doubler, the blue Sphinx than scrys when you cycle, Approach of the Second Suns, and something else that I don't remember. I tried to use the Approach, Sphinx, and Drake Haven, but I only had like 4 cycling cards in those colors. Ended up losing the match 2-1 because the guy was playing creatures while I'm digging for my enchantment, and his cycling pay off (Demon who puts -1/-1 counters everywhere) seemed much better than what I was doing. I know that with practice comes skill or whatever, but It also feels really bad to pay 13 to practice. It's also hard to gauge how good combat tricks are. In my head, they're garbage because they are usually garbage in the formats I play (EDH and formerly Standard in Zend/Mirrodin era). Like obviously combat tricks are blow outs, but when I get to draft like once every 2 weeks or whatever, it's difficult to rewire my brain to evaluate things in a more realistic manner.

If it's any consolation, I tried doing a Drake Haven deck last week and scrubbed out hard.

Shadow225 posted:Man I just do not understand limited. Post your draft & sealed league decks / pools Don't take this wrong but judging your from your above comments it sounds like you're sort of durdling around and trying to assemble a number of pieces while your opponents are just curving out and killing you. Ultimately for most drafters playing cards that affect the board state is where you want to be versus digging through your deck. Amonkhet draft is a pretty aggressive format so messing around with enchantments / synergistic builds frequently will result in you getting rolled horribly unless you can mitigate the initial pressure. Some mtg pros are even prioritizing 2 drops and 3 drops and curving out over good 4 & 5 drops.
