I can't even find the Magic cards at my local Walmart anymore. All of the card games got moved around. They were in toys and the Pokémon cards are with the other Pokémon toys now. I haven't found where Magic product go moved to and it's not at the front of the store either.

Today they had some Brawl decks and a hundred+ Eldraine packs and Eldraine Theme packs. WHO KNOWS?

I don’t play commander, but aren’t there like a bajillion 2cmc rocks already? What makes the Brawl one so tantalizing?

It gives you perfect mana fixing with no drawback. The other common 2-drop rocks: Signets: only 2 colors, requires 1 mana to activate Talismans: only 2 colors, pings you for 1 Diamonds: only 1 color, comes into play tapped Fellwar Stone: only gives you colors opponent lands can give It's extremely good, and is a direct upgrade for any 2-drop rock. Even in mono-color decks, it basically works like any diamond without having to come into play tapped. It's really good. I've been pretty hyped about getting my hands on some.

Now I really want magic cards that require players to choose to cooperate to achieve something, and if they choose to do so, then “everybody wins” It could be a fun game theory experiment

"Everybody wins" is design space that hasn't been touched on before. (outside of that card that makes the game end in a draw.)

ungulateman posted:e: also the pony cards are cute and the text "everypony wins the game" is amazing, you're all haters The correct templating would be "each player wins the game," actually.  "Winning the game" would be a state checked in priority order, right? So the active player would actually win the game when activating that ability. Interestingly I couldn't find anything in the comprehensive rules about simultaneous wins, just simultaneous losses (a tie, natch).

I think you might just both win and the game ends? edit: "609.5. If an effect could result in a tie, the text of the spell or ability that created the effect will specify what to do in the event of a tie. The Magic game has no default for ties." makes the comprehensive rules sound like it's mad at me for looking it up. mossyfisk fucked around with this message at 22:20 on Oct 4, 2019 |

Idk what people are talking about saying eldraine draft is super grindy. From every game I've played, someone plays a bomb rare or uncommon and if you don't answer it very quickly you die. And the removal is extremely sparse or doesn't actually hit their 4 power or 3/4 toughness creature so you probably won't kill it.

2-1 in draft with an underwhelming Mardu more-or-less knights deck running Unlucky Fried Kitten. Round 1 I lost to Lovestruck Beast and mana screw. Round 2 I won thanks to my opponent flooding out and my meagre removal being sufficient to keep his dwarves under control. Round 3 I slammed a Fervent Champion turn 1 and Steelclaw Lance turn 2. That was quick. The next game was much grindier and closer, and was ultimately decided by my opponent flooding out while I stayed at 2-4 life as I attacked repeatedly into Revenge of Ravens. Scary poo poo. I feel like I'll do better next time now that I know what the hell the format looks like.

"you know, i probably should counter this sorcerous spyglass when i have two okos in my hand, but i'll probably draw something else to do and who knows what else they might have that i want to counter." [draws the other two copies of oko] "hmm."

Count Bleck posted:MTGA Bots are very, very bad at evaluating, well, anything, really. At first I thought you beat me earlier today, but no, the deck I lost to was even more ridiculous, they had a murderous rider too. In fact, they went turn 3 murderous rider, killing my The Royal Scions, into turn 4 murderous rider. I was really confused for a moment when no creature appeared on their side of the board. Then I conceded. Well, not really, but I did resign myself to ending my run with that deck at 4 match wins. It was above expectation for it, anyway, I think.

I mean, you're playing counterspells and oko, so karma was going to catch up to you sooner or later.

My only Folio deck so far struggled to find other mill engines, 2 merfolk and no apprentices > Yeah, I was 2-1 in my draft with a really poor RB knight pile last night. The only thing that had me win the two matches I did was revenge of ravens and the black knight that does damage when stuff dies. the look the dude's face when he realized stolen by the fae just created more counters for me to kill was priceless. A board of 2/2 and 1/1 flyers just can't meaningfully attack through that. If I could have managed a second one in that pool I'd never have gotten close to losing a match. Is that card just a draft all star, or is it actually constructed playable in things like Unlucky Fried Kitten?
