DAD LOST MY IPOD posted: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 Yeah, I was looking at it thinking how it's probably too slow for limited. It's a neat card and there's probably things to do with it, but I imagine most of the time you'd rather just play a Drawn From Dreams or any other card draw spell.

It's so that if your opponent does something to the thing you want to copy in response to Mirror/Double being played, you're not forced into copying something lovely.

Sampatrick posted:Can you imagine jumping through all the loops to put a Magic Mirror in play and then your opponent just Teferi bounces it Only the active player discards to hand size at EOT, correct? So if you have 20 cards in hand, opponent uses Teferi to bounce your mirror on his turn, you're not discarding 14 cards? You would have an opportunity to cast mirror on your turn to get the static 'no hand size' ability running again?

I suppose we can chalk this one up to another good one for Feather decks. little munchkin posted:scg deliberately has their writers do this style of article to drive sales True. I wonder how many times Soorani actually believes it.

There’s lots of durdly stuff that have potentially super powerful effects that are probably are too expensive and slow for constructed so I think the limited environment is gonna be fun as hell

When was the last time control decks won games with a card that did absolutely nothing before they had the game already won in practice? I guess it doesn't sound as nice as writing "here's the finisher control has been looking for!" about Bell-haunt.

Basilica Bell-Haunt reads so disappointingly, everyone in this thread called it lame when it was spoiled, and it's hard not to see why. I think it caught a lot of people by surprise by just being so functional. I still have trouble believing it.

Kild posted:turns out it had win the game against RDW hidden in its text It's super obvious in retrospect that a thing that's 1 bigger than Chainwhirler and does two things on ETB that just wreck aggro strats. Did we have Hero of Precinct One revealed then? IIRC it and Bell-Haunt are best buds.

InterrupterJones posted:I suppose we can chalk this one up to another good one for Feather decks. Meh. The main guy you want to give trample in Feather is Legionnaire and he's human so not affected by the spell. Also the "attacking creature" restriction means you can't save your dude from a burn spell with this thing. Maybe this is sideboardable against decks with lots of small tokens? I don't know, not impressed.

Back when people were complaining about Bell-Haunt on Twitter, one of the designers replied to say it got emergency nerfed during Limited playtesting, which makes me wonder how good it was originally.

If I had to guess, its ETB did a third thing, either drawing a card or damaging the opponent. A keyword or two is also possible.

I believe the original effect was a life drain (no discard) and an activated ability that let you flicker the thing.
