Threshold owns and I don't understand why it's so high on the Storm scale in that article. Feelbads from having threshold and then losing it in some way? Keeping track of whether or not it's active? Issues with how easy it is to fill your graveyard these days?

Feels like you could mix threshold and dredge into something where a card gets the benefit from "threshold" but the cards have to get exiled. When this reaches threshold, you may exile that many cards from the graveyard and thing happens.

Mr. Locke posted:Dimir is either getting a new keyword or stealing another from elsewhere. If they want to stick to a version of a Dimir that still focuses on Discard and Mill, maybe one related to a card entering the graveyard from a zone besides the battlefield. Or maybe just use some of the technology they’ve developed since then to let Dimir pull a psuedo-Madness on cards they mill/discard from an opponent. Could Delirium be worded to look at an opponent's graveyard rather than just your own? That would go great with a guild that wants to lean on mill and discard, and the name even fits with Dimir from a flavor standpoint. Might be too soon after SOI block though.

It could, but a Delirium that’s require types in your OPPONENT’s graveyard is probably untenable since you can’t control what’s in your opponent’s deck. It’d have to be a mechanic that’d care about doing something with the card removed if you want a mechanic that uses it’s opponent’s ‘secrets’ against them.

Tainen posted:Guilds Buy a Box promo So I'm guessing Convoke is coming back as the Selesnya mechanic for RtRtR then? Guess they gave up on coming up with all new mechanics for each guild each time. Probably for the best since I'd bet they were running out of good ideas. I mean last time we had stuff like Overload which was basically just a tweaked version of Replicate anyway. At this point they might as well just pick some ones that they know are popular and play well. I hope there's still a few new ones in the mix though. I wonder if they'll reprint Triplicate Spirits for limited? They probably will, but at Uncommon. e: gently caress, that's not going to be another BAB-only promo is it? That thing's gonna be expensive.

Maybe something based on the number of cards the opponent has in hand? No synergy with mill but I think it could work thematically. Although blue can't cause enemy discard on its own.

No, because that would punish the other player for playing spells and they're not willing to do that

They could give skulk another chance for Dimir. They already had on hit player synergy with cipher so it could make sense.

Eschatos posted:They could give skulk another chance for Dimir. They already had on hit player synergy with cipher so it could make sense. It would work, but it would be a really unexciting choice, in a guild that really hasn't had a good mechanic. At the end of the day, skulk is just an evasion ability that's kind of restrictive about what bodies it actually does anything on. It only becomes interesting on creatures with saboteur effects, and there's only so many of those they can make.

So im trying to plan out flights and poo poo for a gp im planning on going to, and i cant find a straight answer online for when the main event ends on sunday. My flight looks like its taking off at 9:24pm and if I have to chose between playing out the finals (massive assumption I get there but still) and getting back in time for work monday then I probably wont go at all. Its GP Atlanta btw.
