Bonus round seems very powerful but I also don't have experience with the type of combo decks that would play a card like that.

I really like the decision to focus in part on specific champions in the plane's arenas. It gives them a clear way to return to the plane without letting things feel stale, which I assume is going to happen in a year or two since this set's gonna do gangbusters

I think 2hg is kind of memey, and I never play EDH because I think it sucks, but I have to say that this set looks really awesome. The cards looks fun to play with, there are some neat reprints, and the flavor and theme is a huge home run. Good job WotC. Between this and Dominaria, I haven't been this happy about the game in a very long time.

I can already feel people firesaling their Fiery Confluence they don't want atm. Zero chance that isn't going to get a reprint as well. Sickening fucked around with this message at 16:00 on May 24, 2018 |

Agreed, i've been drafting DOM almost nightly on MTGO and it's been fun and i've pulled a couple of value mythics to keep the ball going if I want for a pretty long time. My friends who almost never buy or play paper magic are so excited for battlebond and I cleared off my dining room table for us to draft it.

Man. A Threat-of-activation 5/1 attacker with lifelink that is also a perfectly shaped blocker that also conforms to exactly kill whatever small stuff you block it with and survive that's virtually immune to removal or combat if you leave a mana up seems, good.

Toshimo posted:Also, I know very few game shops that could stomach a 25% loss in M:tG revenue, so nearly-indistinguishable fakes will probably kill like 80% of brick-and-mortar LGSes, so can we not support that, cause I like having LGSes. If a shop not operating at massive online ordering scale gets 25% of their revenue from singles they're not long for the world to begin with.

born on a buy you posted:If a shop not operating at massive online ordering scale gets 25% of their revenue from singles they're not long for the world to begin with. Yeah 5/6 shops around me would probably get on just fine selling war dollies, boxed games, RPGs, sealed product, dice, etc etc. One of them treats selling singles as a distasteful courtesy they are obliged to offer. The one remaining one that's really TCG focused I think if I walked in with three grand in cash and asked for a playset of underground seas could cough up maaaaybe one or two. Maybe. So it's not like getting them for 3 bucks from perfidious celestials who will spend the money to support Triad activities is really robbing the FLGS of bread for their children or whatever. I am sorry I re-engaged with this perennial topic people hate but I can't shut up and stop posting. It is a blessing and a curse. E: Snacks of all things seem like a pretty high margin item for game shops. I know for a longer event I go through a couple drinks and a sweet/salty snack or two and don't mind the convenience markup. Owlbear Camus fucked around with this message at 16:30 on May 24, 2018 |

How is the release going to work for this? I see that it is set to release June 8. IS it getting a pre release? If so, is the standard format still sealed, or would I have the option to draft it instead?

The format at my store is 6 pack sealed.

I like this a lot. It's missing an ability compared to the others, but "w: x gains first strike until end of turn" or "w: x gains hexproof from y color until end of turn" would've probably been bonkers. Still very strong though.

Each have activations for a single coloured mana, like this, then the last ability split in two.

So is battleborn also influenced by their new play-design team? Because, dang, both it and Dominaria seem to be smash hits and that definitely bodes well for sets going forward.

You can attack, pay 5 to untap it, and then tap it for mana. And it's still attacking. You need some other creature where infinitely untapping it does something useful to get a real "combo" going though. Or I guess a vigilance guy and being able to tap all your opponent's blockers. Or something useful that triggers at the beginning of combat. Jabor fucked around with this message at 17:49 on May 24, 2018 |

Still very strong though. I mean bounce for W is pretty strong. The whole card is very strong, really. It's really hard to kill absent it's controller tapping out like a dummy or it getting countered (which I suppose is one of the risks there). They should re-do Torchling because Torchling is way weaker than any of the other ones.

Funny how a last minute card swap established a long running tradition. Morphling was initially a clone reprint before being shelved, but they had to use the art already made.
