Hey thread, am I a dick for rolling my eyes and laughing at Nyx Lotus? The most cynical snipe.

sit on my Facebook posted:Nyx Lotus seems sweet, idk Meh. It isn't that busted. It's a 4CMC mana rock that ETBs tapped and can very much become worse than Hedron after a board wipe.

 This seems quite good, but also a great release valve for the format because it's an anti-escape card that escape decks want. Also another card that's good against Catte! Overall I'm starting to think the statement 'throne of eldraine is the peak of the new increased standard power level' wasn't correc-[is turned into a 3/3 elk]

"Escape Velocity" is definitely well up there on the pun scale.

I didn't know I wanted the flavor of 'escape from the Greek underworld by running up a column really fast', but it turns out I did.

That's a lot more work than Crystal Slipper, but also probably a lot more synergy.

Yeah, the entire point of the glass slipper is that when it's wearer started to move quickly it fell off.

I want to like this but 1UU is weird. Heavy blue decks are usually not interested in tapping out and nightpack ambusher is better and faster. is this like "fixed" rancor? Seems good but I love giving things haste so I'm biased. Magic Underwear fucked around with this message at 08:33 on Dec 31, 2019 |

   Aphemia the Cacophony {1}{B}Legendary Enchantment Creature -- Harpy FlyingAt the beginning of your end step, you may exile an enchantment card from your graveyard. If you do, create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token. P/T: 2/1

That is very powerful if you can reliably enable it. That's a pretty tall order but hell you never know what kind of enablers they'll print.

i keep going over and over underworld breach and i just cant fathom how the gently caress this card got printed. its like the time they tried to "fix" necropotence by letting you have the cards right away but increasing the mana by 3. except they let you recur the cards over and over and reduced the cost by 1 what the gently caress

Well I mean Breach probably won't break Standard. Plus maybe it just won't quite be good enough to break all the eternal formats? oh also it probably won't break Cube unlike Oko.

 Commune with the stars enchantement aura enchant creature or enchantment the enchanted permanent is an enchantment and loses all other card types (it still has it's abilities, but it's no longer a creature).

The "or enchantment" part looks weird, I know its so the target remains valid after the effect takes place but its unfortunate.

A big flaming stink posted:so, uh, how does that work with opalescence? Not really confusingly. Opalescence turns all other non aura enchantments into creatures. If you enchant one of them, it just turns back into an enchantment since this comes down with a later timestamp. If you then play another opalescence the target turns back into a creature

I’m wondering what kind of fuckery they found that made them want to cost mediocre Blue removal 3U. Though the thought of turning various Gideon walkers into Enchantments with loyalty abilities is pretty funny. AlternateNu fucked around with this message at 14:44 on Dec 31, 2019 |

it's a cool way of tapping a creature down permanently for 3U like capture sphere

It is basically a Pacifism with a couple of niche upsides (other auras will fall off, creature-only bounce doesn't work)

For 5UB if they don't have a sac outlet you can drop this and Inevitable End and make a one sided Abyss.  Wait poo poo End would fall off. There's gotta be a way to break this.

Irony Be My Shield posted:Does that mean you still get to use their loyalty abilities but your opponent can't attack them? I'm pretty sure once it stops being a planeswalker, its abilities can't be used since you have to add or subtract loyalty and enchantments have no rules regarding loyalty counters.
