"Add seven R" is much nicer templating than the previous "Add RRRRRRR".

So glad this is 4 to 7 so Ilharg can't just swooce in on turn two with it. Also so glad it says seven {R} instead of printing seven {R} icons like Geosurge. quote:So glad this mirror doesn't suddenly tell me my own preteen stepdaughter is the hottest person. Also glad it's from the universal stream where it's Magic Mirror instead of Mirror Mirror.

Lol 2:1 historic wildcards officially walked back https://twitter.com/wizards_magicDE/status/1172527610208948224 Other changes it lists is that Historic games will count towards your daily quests but not wins and you can buy single packs of historic sets instead of only the bundle.

These both feel durdly as hell and I love them for it. Also, how would Irencrag Feat work with Thousand Year Storm? Do multiple copies mean "you can only cast one spell the rest of the turn" instances stack, or does the fact that it's "only one" prevent it from stacking?

My german isn't great but it looks like they were going to be awarded via events starting in november, but now it just says "TBD", "Kostenpflichtiges" is apparently "paid event".

Yeah I think the TBD is more in relation to how the cards are going to be obtained than them implementing new cards into the format.

drainpipe posted:I'm ok with wizards making money off of cosmetics. It's the gating a powerful card behind special products (like the buy-a-box promos) that worry me more, but I don't play paper so... Typically, in games that make relatively ethical use of premium cosmetics, the thing that makes the cosmetics' existence a good proposition for the average (read: non-whale) consumer is that it noticeably drops the cost of playing the game for everyone else. Often it drops it all the way to free, though obviously that will never be practical for physical MTG. Previous MTG "cosmetics" (expeditions, masterpieces, whatever the gently caress the Amonkhet ones were collectively called) may have had that effect because they were in regularly priced boosters, which drove down the price of everything else in those boosters. I say "may have" to be completely honest, because I'm not actually gonna go analyze the data right now, but it stands to reason. Anyway, that was a step in the right direction. But it's hard for me to see how shunting cosmetics off into higher-priced premium boosters is going to have the same effect, since they aren't going to be slashing the price of regular boosters to compensate. They're just skimming an extra layer of cream off the top. long-rear end nips Diane posted:There's no way these don't hit arena, I'd bet it's the mastery orb thing for this set I mean they literally already did the thing in WAR where they have high-demand alternate art for a bunch of cards from the set but it doesn't make its way into Arena as such. I'd agree with you that it's quite likely at some point that they start doing masterpieces-type cards properly for Arena. But you can't really ever say "no way" when it comes to a hypothetical rake for WOTC to step on.

I can't even remember now what the deal is with the alternate art cards - are they always tied to the special frame, and are they only available in the $20 (?) collector boosters? I'm seeing assertions on the twitters that the alt art is available in regular boosters, just at an even smaller drop rate. Tried to find that crazy spreadsheet-esque diagram posted days back, but wasn't able to.

InterrupterJones posted:These both feel durdly as hell and I love them for it. First one: Add 7R. You can cast only one more spell this turn Second one (copied somehow, not cast): Add 7R. You can cast only one more spell this turn. You cast a fireball for X=13 damage. You have now cast one more spell this turn, so no more spells can be cast. You could copy it if you had thousand year storm out, though, because copying is not casting. Cards that are templated as "copy the card, then you can cast it" don't work though

Article on historic changes https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-digital/mtg-arena-update-historic-2019-09-12 New cards are not canceled, just their method of obtaining them. quote:"We will start to add new cards to Historic in November. We’ll be thinking through what the right target of cards to add is and how players can acquire these new cards. These cards will be added to the game differently than cards in Standard, but we’re still working on exactly how to do that."

Tainen posted:Lol 2:1 historic wildcards officially walked back The daily quests but not wins thing is exactly backwards; I want a type of game that I can play to get my first four wins when I'm punting on a 500-gold quest, without having to search for a deck that I both feel like playing and that evades the quest. The change in the wildcard ratio is more than good enough to outweigh anything dumb in the rest of that announcement, though. At least for now.

Devor posted:First one: Add 7R. You can cast only one more spell this turn That's what I thought. At that point I guess it's just overkill, but the thought of copying this spell a few times then casting a massive Electrodominance with multiple copies is still pretty appealing.

That seems to be entirely the point. They want to make sure you play standard if given the choice.

The art in this set is really drat good. Irencrag Feat is cool enough that I'm tempted to get a print to hang on the wall somewhere. What's the dumbest thing you could do with Irencrag Feat in standard? Turn 3 Drakuseth or Big Chan?

9 CMC is rough but effectively having delve on it for any deck running a lot of sorceries/instants makes it possibly viable.

axeil posted:9 CMC is rough but effectively having delve on it for any deck running a lot of sorceries/instants makes it possibly viable. This card is sloooooooooooooow as gently caress. You can only realistically cast it after casting a bunch of spells and it doesn’t start doing anything until you untapped with it. It’s like that rw token making enchantment; the meta would have to be turbo-glacial to justify such a slow card

Can you imagine jumping through all the loops to put a Magic Mirror in play and then your opponent just Teferi bounces it (I think the card is actually good but still)

it only costs 1 more than pteramander's adapt. But yeah teferi bounces it. less depressing than the last few reveal seasons because at least this will exist without tef3ri in standard some day.
