My favorite 3 are probably my old frame judge foil crucible of worlds because I love that card and it looks sick, my Japanese foil M14 young pyromancer because I love young peezy and pulled it in a prize pack, and my Christopher Rush signed beta bolt because it looks sick and bolt is the card I love the most.

Reminds me a lot of Urza's Saga, taking a bunch of staples, giving them cycling, and adding 1 to their mana cost, like Expunge and Lull.

80s James Hetfield posted:I'm like the complete opposite. I mostly win via Fevered Visions or I get them down to 8-12 life then just blast them in the mid-late game with a 10+ damage Fateful Showdown. I'm not actually sure I ever won a game with Approach. By the time you get to Turn 9 where you have the turn to cast it with Fog backup you've already destroyed their life with Vision damage. The As Foretold is basically a free fog after your second turn which leaves all of your mana free on the opponent's turn to cast draw spells, or counter spells if folks get cute and try to counter the fogs. By turn three you're slamming Fevered Visions for free on your turn. By turn four all of the card draw is free and it's basically over. It also means you can drop an Approach on T7 with negate protection available and still have a fog available for the opponent's turn. Additionally, the fact that fogs are free on your opponent's turns leaves mana open for Lumbering Falls on your turn off needed.

Cycling is the default mode of the spell. It has a 3B kicker to turn it into a tutor. It's better a better card than Diabolic Tutor.

BBB Search your deck for a card with CMC equal to or less than the number of cards in your graveyard. Cycling B Beseech the Queen is a reasonable baseline for the tutoring effect. 5 mana diabolic tutor with cycling is not only bad it's boring.

Yeah that's a cut above the Angler Drake in most instances, probably on par with the rare sphinx for 2UU that lets you scry when you cycle. Turning each cycle into a combat trick is going to make attacking into mana impossible.

Crap, and I thought that merciless javelineer + ruthless sniper was annoying. Being new to drafting, what would y'alls reactions have been opening an ulamog in early draft ($$$ notwithstanding)? Is it a 'oh nice I can make this work, or 'this bomb is unplayable in this format'. I'm still trying to work out the kinks of drafting.

Carl Killer Miller posted:Crap, and I thought that merciless javelineer + ruthless sniper was annoying. Suboptimal. Even in slow formats, 10 is just so much. Your average deck will have 17ish land, so you would need to have a bunch of land and some scions/kozilek's channeler. In BFZ specifically I might have thought there was a chance because there are so many mana producers, but 10 is such a large number.

Carl Killer Miller posted:Crap, and I thought that merciless javelineer + ruthless sniper was annoying. 10 mana cards are generally unplayable in anything other than decks specifically built from the ground up around being able to cast them or cheating them onto the battlefield without paying their mana cost, and in this case I mean 'unplayable' in the literal sense - the game will end before it is possible for you to cast the card. Eldrazi ramp was kind of an archetype in BFZ limited, so it wouldn't have been impossible to make that work, but you would probably want to at least get passed a couple other big bomb-y cards to make sure you had the payoff for it and my Plan A would still be to take Ulamog for the $$$ and then pick the best card in pack two as if he was never there.

It could have cost the same as Diabolic Tutor and been a common and even then it would only barely be playable in Pauper, never mind any other format. Overpriced tutors feel so much worse than overpriced versions of anything else, I dunno why.

Do X-costed spells trigger imminent doom the way I think they do? I.e. Casting an endless one for 4 triggers a doom with 4 counters on it.

Veyrall posted:Do X-costed spells trigger imminent doom the way I think they do? I.e. Casting an endless one for 4 triggers a doom with 4 counters on it. Yes. When an X spell is being cast or is on the stack, its mana cost is calculated using the actual value for X. Any other time, X is zero. If you have an Endless One in hand and your opponent hits you with Transgress the Mind, they can't take it because its CMC is 0. If you cast an Endless One where X = 5, it's a 5 mana spell on the stack. It would trigger Imminent Doom appropriately and it couldn't be countered by Spell Queller. Once it's on the battlefield, it's X goes back to being 0 even though it has five counters on it. Your opponent can kill it with Fatal Push. In your graveyard, X is still 0, so you could bring it back with the front half of Claim to Fame (though this wouldn't be a very good play, since it would come back without any counters and immediately die). X spells get a little screwier when cost reductions or alternate costs get involved. For instance, if you flashback a Conflagrate, you still calculate its CMC on the stack using its normal casting cost and the given value for X. Discarding three cards makes it a 7 mana spell, even though that's not what you actually paid.

Welp, guess it's time to just admit here that Imminent Doom is going to be the next aetherworks and it's going to be banned in Standard. actually, it's probably going to go into Against the Odds where SO is going to completely miss the X cost interaction in deckbuilding

The Shortest Path posted:It could have cost the same as Diabolic Tutor and been a common and even then it would only barely be playable in Pauper, never mind any other format. It's because the first two playable tutors were severely undercosted so now everyone is allergic to paying what they should.

https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/standard-ubr-39150#paper UBR deck that runs a bunch of Dork artifacts to help cast metalwork colossus. Reminds me a lot of the lattice decks from scars. This has top 8'd a couple modos lately but how do you win with it exactly? What am I searching for when I crack my inventors fair? This deck does a lot but I'm not doing whatever I should be to make it work well.
