ACTUALLY IT IS VERY GOOD THAT THE SHOW IS BAD AND ANYONE WHO DOESN'T REALIZE WHY THAT'S GOOD IS AN IDIOT. JUST ENJOY THE BAD SHOW INSTEAD OF THINKING.
I'm assuming Standard Commander isn't a 100 card singleton format because it would be real, real dumb. It sounds real, real dumb as it is.

...on the plus side I'm feeling much more angry now than I expected so this totally helps me get in character.
IDK you can do this right now:

T1 Toolcraft Exemplar
T2 Heart of Kiran
T3 Second Toolcraft Exemplar, 12/12 Dino


e: Also that aside, mono-green stompy+pummeler is a deck with multiple 5-0 mtgo results
e2: And so is mono-green explore stompy

based on the first story article, we can guess another legend, yet unrevealed:




That's the artwork for Josu, Liliana's brother who sick and died when she got her powers.

He's a Lich working for the Cabal now.

edit: oh poo poo, it could be the artwork for this as well, https://scryfall.com/card/dom/XLM

I can’t wait for Brawl to be highlighted on one of the super leagues and the red white buy a box promo card be the general that crushes

Seems like Wizards is trying to milk the commander crowd some more and get them moved into a rotating format so that instead of just buying commander products they’re buying standard stuff as well to play this amazing new format!

As I sit here not plowing in my truck during the fifth failed snowpocalypse, I've noticed Liliana and Bob have skyrocketed in price. What's the best way for me to dump my playsets so I can buy fun jank? I kind of want to play hollow one since I know burning inquiry will tilt a lot of people.

Facebook is always the answer as dealing with people directly generally is going to net you the biggest amount.

Some people I know have had luck with becoming a seller on tcgplayer. I am still skeptical because buyer scams are so prevalent there. Results may vary.

I don't think removing complexity from common has helped things either. While its made o-ring stuff better, who knows what we have missed out on for the sake of "too complex".



This is a Future Sight common. It's a noncreature card with Morph.

Judging by how Amonkhet block used the cycle or discard wording, I'm guessing far more players had to ask if Ichor Slick really worked like that than actually got it on their own.

It's a creature that can stop being a creature, completely change card types, and apply a static effect to other creatures, as a special action that doesn't use the stack.

I think that should at least be uncommon.

It's the term used to refer to stores that offer to buy specific cards at certain prices. Since they're reselling the cards, the price they're offering is going to be lower than what they can sell them for (obviously) but it's made up for by the fact that it's really easy and you get your cash (or store credit) quickly.

I've used StarCityGames and ChannelFireball before and it's a really smooth process.

I love the mix and match mechanic cards, but yeah they’re not a great thing for new players. I’d love to see something in the Conspiracy/Unstable set slot for more enfranchised players that brings the concept back updated with all the new mechanics since TSP block.

I might give that a shot if goons don't want what I have. Now that I think about it, I have a good amount of cards to dump. I want to keep my collection to just a few modern decks and a handful of staples I plan to use.

None of you have pointed out the best part yet: It's a foil-only card on the new stock, so it won't be legally playable in tournaments just like Kess! :v:

I really, really hope it ends up in a top tier standard deck.
