Sickening posted:It can't be somehow more efficient in tron. Right? RIGHT? In a Tron build that runs green mana and also creatures as threats instead of planeswalkers, it seems pretty sick. In a build with 2 Wurmcoils and an Ulamog or whatever, it's probably not worth it just as a weaker Stirrings. Maybe a green Eldrazi Tron?

I wonder what shenanigans bottoming it is there to prevent. I guess just casually regrowing a strong 2-for-1 is reason enough.

mono B aggro seems like it's going to be quite strong come rotation. the curve of 1/2 pump knight into 2/2 flyer into kill your dude and leave behind a castable 2/3 lifelinker seems very strong, and they're all knights, so any mono B knight synergies are just gravy.

The knight deck will be BW at minimum if not maybe Mardu

C-Euro posted:I had a similar thought for Valakut, which already has a couple of ramp spell flex spots. But it seems like it should be run as a four-of even though it might be worse than a ramp spell after turn 1. Thinking the same thing. T1 suspend Search and this, or T2 this then explore. Probably cut farseeks?

Man, where was that guy in the Arena premade Knights deck. Seems kinda pushed where they could've weakened it slightly in a bunch of different ways (sorcery speed, can't hit planeswalkers, or anything really), but I guess we'll see if we get some Ravenous Chupacabra ranting about it I guess.

Yeah the BW Knights deck looks sick, with reasonable mana thanks to the Mardu Knight land, two great 1-drops in Knight of the Ebon Legion and Venerable Knight, and some excellent 2 and 3 mana plays. Circle of Loyalty is a fine top-end to outgrind the opponent late game. Haven't seen a reason to splash Red yet.

What’s the deal with the templating on Joust, I can’t double check right now but it’s different than normal fight cards, right?

Savage Smash does basically the same thing with different wording. Savage Smash {1}{R}{G} Sorcery Target creature you control gets +2/+2 until end of turn. It fights target creature you don’t control. (Each deals damage equal to its power to the other.)

I'm mad because this set is going to have a lot of fun looking cards in it but BR Knights is probably going to be the best way to draft it. (I'll be happy to be wrong and also this is half-kidding.)

Circle of Loyalty is a fine top-end to outgrind the opponent late game. white gives you venerable knight, corpse knight, and wintermoor commander, plus some non-knight stuff like hero of precinct one. i think the synergies are reasonable. i still might try mono-B aggro with gutterbones, disfigure, etc. just run 20-land super low-to-the-ground aggro.

Pact is really important for tutoring up SB creatures like Rec Sage, I don't think it'll ever go away. The fact that you can dig for a Valakut is pretty nice though.

Kurieg posted:They talked about this in the Twitch stream last week. After Maro submitted the gingerbread Man he was told "Alright, this is too silly for the set, we'll allow this one but no more." It's funny that they drew the line there since the trailer showcased it and was a huge hit that is 100% going to lead to a gingerbread widow card down the line.
