 Just put the nastiest B/U deck together playing 3 riddleforms with 12 total noncreature spells including Torment of Hailfire. Breeziest draft I've ever played, can confirm riddleform is disgusting if you know how to play it. Listerine Hangover fucked around with this message at 08:57 on Jul 12, 2017 |

I really wish I started playing the U/R Emerge deck earlier. This deck actually feels like it has way more lines of play than normal decks, and it can just swing a game so quickly.

interesting historical/collector note from my binder of lightning bolts (I collected them, ok)   Now, from a bit of reading I'm thinking the 1994's are revised (french), and the asian 1996's are 4th. All printed black border because the first set released in a new language was done as such. The 1995 is the weird one, but I'm thinking that's 4th as well since it looks like FBB revised was only Italian/French/German

I don't suppose you have a Korean Swords? I really need a 4th one. Edit: Relampago is Spanish I think, so that must be 4th and I guess I'm wrong about it being only black bordered in moon languages.

Just that one, unfortunately (do you know if it is chinese or japanese?) So FBB 4th is over two years (1995 in Spanish, 1996 asian sets). Also interesting is the big color difference in one of the asian sets, even though they're all 1996. Cool! The one on the left is definitely the prettiest

That Swords is Japanese. Chinese is a lot blockier. I have a set of those but getting the 4th Swords for a halfway reasonable price has been impossible. That Korean bolt is definitely sweet. Probably worth a pretty good amount too. Old Korean cards tend to be pretty rare/valuable.

If you watch the video Marshall posted yesterday you will see how powerful it is but it is funny when his opponent sideboards in the Crook and it pretty much stalls the game. It's also annoying how some people call every card that is powerful "broken". Another funny moment from Marshalls sealed video is Turn 2 plays Hapatra Turn 3 plays Ammit Eternal Opponent scoops immediately

It's definitely powerful in limited but in constructed getting a 5/5 for 5 that lets you conditionally make 4/4s for 4 is not amazing.

Anyone know if there's a way to see cards MISSING from a set in tcgplayer? Turns out I have most of the Legends big cards (except the biggest  )This collection feature looks pretty barebones as of yet though

The zombie trigger is just a bonus, but just as a 5/5 that can reanimate stuff for a flat cost and is hard to get rid of for good, it's really solid.

Havengul Lich was given some hype up for control decks when it was first revealed for standard purposes, although part of that was control being in a pretty weak spot at the time and control players being desperate for anything playable at all that format. Only some hype though, since the other spoiler that day was Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, who was the worst possible spoiler for a control player to see (a card that fucks over their favorite card types just by being on the field, and applying to everyone means you couldn't even run it yourself to gently caress over the opponent without hurting yourself more). Lich crashed and burned in standard due to being too slow and clunky, Thalia ended up having Legacy Goblin decks splash for white to put her in due to how good she ended up being. Only issue Scarab God has is that it might end up too slow against aggro. It's not the safest bet for seeing constructed play (that honor goes to Abrade), but it's definitely one of the most likely to make it in Standard.

Scarab's is instant speed, costs mana instead of loyalty so it refreshes every turn instead of every 3 2/2s, and is attached to a 5/5. It's less reviving big threats reanimator, and more gumming up the board and reusing good ETBs. Eternalize Spell Quellers and Torrential Gearhulks and Whirler Virtuosos and such, you know?

That seems like a lot of setup to make decent value plays, it feels too slow and conditional just to get plays that other decks have by casting their spells. I'd rather just cast a 2 mana 4/4 or a 5 mana 8/8. I guess we'll see when the PT happens.

Play it, and it either dies and goes back to the hand or lives and starts bringing back earlier plays only beefier.

Scarab God seems like a decent finisher, but like all finishers how good it ends up being is very metagame dependent.

I look forward to the kids next weekend doing things like playing an Unsummon to return a gearhulk to someone's hand, only to never learn why it's usually a bad idea bounce your opponent's creatures with very powerful enters-the-battlefield abilities.
