Entropic posted:It's a way to get a bit of extra damage in that has a very very minimal deckbuilding cost. There's next to no downside to running one in place of a basic forest in any green deck. Pretty much. It's a land that comes in untapped and makes colored mana that can also be a mediocre spell if you're out of gas. What more justification do you need?

PJOmega posted:I can at least see benefit of a repeatable mill 4 for 3 at instant speed. Not a big mill fan in draft but it synergizes with high Embalm/Eternalize counts and feeds things like Enigma Drake. Plus there's always a few who dream of Mill.dec in every draft. They're all good in certain decktypes, but I agree that the black one is the most playable. Ramunap ruins got a lot of press from the pro tour but it has to be in a deck where that two damage means something. Are you guys buying any of the commander decks? I'm on the fence about getting into the format but the buy-in seems pretty reasonable. Are these decks usually pretty balanced? Dragons v cats seems like a little bit of a blowout right now, but I guess it's too early to tell and also I'm bad at magic

Are these decks usually pretty balanced? Dragons v cats seems like a little bit of a blowout right now, but I guess it's too early to tell and also I'm bad at magic Playing all four decks should be pretty balanced if you have four players; commander tends to self-balance if you're playing without easily assembled infinite combos or other hallmarks of high end decks. The latter of which I've never really bothered with. The wotc decks generally felt good against each other, though sometimes you might have to ask a player to run a less hurtful commander 1v1. Anyway I'm buying all four. I'll play with that friend again, get a good night or two of fun before taking them apart.

Not to get into a limited holy war or whatever, but there are a lot of really good desert matters cards in the set that make deserts that tap for your colour and have no other text extremely valuable. Ramunap Ruins just to turn on Sand Strangler is pretty common and basically always good.

That 2 damage is simply reach gravy, but the big benefit is Sand Strangler and Gifted Cerodon. Green gets the Sidewinder Naga and Ramunap Hydra at rare. Again, I'm not saying my evaluation is be all, end all. Glad to get outside opinions. My local shop's card evaluation talk is... not great.

the roman vampire flavour rocks and hopefully there's other, stronger, cards with the same theme because Licia isn't good even by casual edh standards

Karlov also has a much better rate for that incidental lifegain. Then again, this is ramped to by Lightning Helix and Glorybound Initiate.

Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:Karlov has taught me there's a lot more incidental lifegain out there than you think. I'll admit, it's a pretty innovative way of promoting a voltron strategy rather than the usual Equipment/Hexproof/Whatever Boy and I do like how the lifegain clause lets you potentially completely ignore the commander tax buuuuuuuttt well, like you said, karlov generally just does this poo poo better. When you get down to it past all her rules she's just a fatty with no inherent evasion or protection and no actual ability. Karlov at least exiles people. I mean, it's casual so people can and should and will run whatever they want but she's also mechanically boring.

80s James Hetfield posted:Why is this white Because it's pretty much the same type of effect as Faith's Reward and Second Sunrise, stapled to Angel's Grace and Ivory Mask etc. Protecting yourself is white, protecting all your poo poo is white. Using phasing is a new and exciting way to do that, but it works. I loving love this card.

That's one unlucky guy there. Though he does seem to keep surviving, at least.
