Those "when this is dealt damage do X" mechanic cards seem real good for limited.

Am I crazy for thinking that Revel in Riches might actually be kind of good? Obviously it remains to be seen how easy it is to get treasure, but I feel like with Treasure Map, the treasure that Revel itself gives you, and just a few other cards that it'd be pretty doable.

Elyv posted:it's a 7 mana doran, the siege tower It's the gold uncommon that guides GW in draft, not a pushed-to-the-loving-limit 3-color rare that would've been mythic had mythic rarity been introduced one block sooner. Let's not pretend Doran is just "a fine man." He is the finest man in the world. A man so fine that a card as ridiculous as Anafenza the Foremost is a sidegrade. If this dino were as pushed per-mana as Doran, it'd be 4/12 with at least three keywords. And, yes, the 4 power is so it can fight things. Fighting with Dinosaurs is going to be a thing because fights trigger Enrage.

Pinterest Mom posted:That flavour text is basically "It is okay for us to print this card on a plane that doesn't have dragons", which is just so clunky and badly executed. This is something that should be applauded, not bitched about.

The flavor text is always clunky no matter what, unless it's A Love Song of Night and Day or someone's last words. This clunky flavor text means I get to use my m13 dragonskull summits, and remember that that art is actually metal as all hell.  And I get to use this metal as hell thing to cast pirates.

So wait there's ten transform lands? I imagine they won't all be as great as the first one, but still, that's pretty nice.BJPaskoff posted:Gotta give them credit for coming up with a flavor reason to have a "Dragonskull" place in a plane that doesn't have dragons. Much better than coming up with five new functional reprints to avoid using one name that doesn't fit. Probably the literal only thing I'm upset with, so far this set is just amazing looking. Admiral Mom!

odiv posted:What was that story about mtgo coding and the Archetypes from Born of the Gods? The only way they could code Archetype of Imagination was to go through every single card that involved Flying in the entire game and write individual code for each one of them to have that card's Flying stop applying while Archetype of Imagination is on the field. Same with all the other Archetypes with their respective keywords.

Dinos being overcosted is disappointing, hopefully the treasure mechanic can mitigate that Dino.dec needs to be standard playable AnEdgelord fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Aug 29, 2017 |

As time goes on, creatures have become more aggressively costed in Magic. So really it makes perfect sense that prehistoric creatures are overcosted. And thanks for that Archetype story. Whew.

mehall posted:Sounds like a planeswalker who can't leave. I think the gimmick is that NO Planeswalker can leave Ixalan. Vraska was sent there by Bolas to do something (presumably related to nobody being able to leave), and she was stated to have vanished in a weird way. Angrath ended up there on accident and got stuck. Vraska will meet amnesia Jace, and decide not to kill him so he can solve the stupid puzzle on how to get the toy Bolas wants. Stupid toy will probably end up fixing Jace's memory and Jace gets a powerup and we get hints at going to Vrynn at some point. Vraska zooms off with the toy deciding after spending time with jace as her cabin boy she's less mad at him and lets him live or alternatively Jace with all his memories smashes Vraska. The treasure map having a Khopesh ties into this. Ixalan is the plane where planar stuff washes up. It also explains why it's a weird smash up of pirates vs dinosaurs. The pirates are people who ended up there from elsewhere. My dumb prediction for the last block. anglachel fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Aug 29, 2017 |

It's part of the color shaping uncommon cycle they do for limited. It communicates GW's shtick very well. Big bodies with fat backs. High costs. DINOSAURS. It's also 2 colors compared to Doran's 3. Yes they could make it better but unless removal is extremely efficient it's going to be a limited house.

I don't think we can use "smash" as a term for anything anymore. Because I can't tell if you mean "beats the poo poo out of Vraska" or "has weird, gorgon sex with Vraska". Everything else is cool though. C-Euro posted:But Wizards doesn't make any good equipment anymore? What are you talking about? They just printed Heart of Kiran and Smuggler's Copter.
