Zero VGS posted:That's a shame, since they own. It's real weird they made them mono-Black of all colors, it's just an armored ant-eater. The original one is bizarre, maybe they named it with the Onslaught keyboard mash naming scheme and hit a real animal by accident?

I was telling my wife about the godzilla card and then the pangolin. She said she ate pangolin once and that's my pangolin story.

lemonadesweetheart posted:Are these new 50 bux things worth getting? Only if you desperately want the cosmetics; IIRC the packs aren't great value compared to bulk buying them direct, the levels will come anyway if you meet your dailies (I'm over 100 starting from 0 with two weeks still to go), and the sealed entries aren't as good value as just buying into them without everything else. The cards are craftable so they're definitely not worth your resources. Better to just get the mastery pass when it comes out unless you're really desperate for the shinies.

I started a couple of weeks ago and I'm at 20something so I figured it'd be worth it.

That netdecking event is pretty fun for chumps like me, who can't afford those crazy cards normally. Also, when your arena client isn't set to English you can't import decklists from English websites.

Elephant Ambush posted:I have Omen too. It's great. Late to the party here but I do not run Signet in my Nissa build. 1) You already should have at least 4-5 cards that ramp Nissa out early but also contribute to things like blocking, devotion, etc. 2) Artifact ramp doesn’t double 3) it’s a terrible draw mid/late game If you’re that invested in a T3/4 Nissa, just mulligan more aggressively, she generates so much card advantage anyways.

Kanfy posted:Death Corona was a hell of a timing but anyone acting all weirded out by the existence of pangolins and bats in cards has definitely started going a bit stir-crazy. It’s a bit more than that; you can mutate a bat and pangolin together then use death corona to make it kill stuff that it touches

Temur Adventures is incredible when it really goes off, but I've found it just a touch slow on the ranked queue - probably through inexperience, so I'm building some on the play queue.

It's fine just get a Paradise Druid and a Destiny Spinner* stuck and play the Mutates on the Druid. (Then get wiped) *I assume they still count as creature spells when they're being cast for their Mutate cost?

Mechagodzilla is an alt-art of Crystalline Giant, the card right next to it. But it's one of the Japanese-language exclusive styles, yes. At least in print.

Effortless FNM 2-0 with Catfood, beat Ohrzhov and Mono-U Devotion. It's super weird that they require match wins, just game wins. Sideboard is probably fine for ranked. Deck 3 Temple of Malice (THB) 247 3 Fabled Passage (ELD) 244 4 Blood Crypt (RNA) 245 2 Castle Locthwain (ELD) 241 4 Mayhem Devil (WAR) 204 6 Swamp (UND) 92 5 Mountain (UND) 94 4 Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger (THB) 221 4 Dreadhorde Butcher (WAR) 194 3 Priest of Forgotten Gods (RNA) 83 4 Woe Strider (THB) 123 4 Witch's Oven (ELD) 237 4 Cauldron Familiar (ELD) 81 4 Gutterbones (RNA) 76 4 Claim the Firstborn (ELD) 118 2 Midnight Reaper (GRN) 77 Sideboard 3 Embereth Shieldbreaker (ELD) 122 4 Redcap Melee (ELD) 135 2 Noxious Grasp (M20) 110 3 Angrath's Rampage (WAR) 185 2 Act of Treason (M20) 124 1 Tibalt, Rakish Instigator (WAR) 146

It's Simic Ascendancy on 20 counters mostly. I did add Uro since he seems to work well with pelt collector but I forgot to fix the mana base so he's basically impossible to escape.code:

Whoooooooo DOGGY did I just win a NAILBITER of a Brawl game. I’m Niv Reborn, they are Bolas, and we are DUKING it out! They had me on 4 Chandra emblems but through judicious use of a Dream Trawler and Uro I was able to grind it out. Rhythm of the Wild giving my titans haste so they would immediately trigger twice on escape was amazing, and I was able to dispatch 2 planeswalkers or more a turn with ease. Niv himself is a valuable threat, and he delightfully eats up Bolas. I made some severe misplays but nothing quite as bad as my opponent completely missing lethal on board the turn before I aced them. They had Acolyte of Flame and Bolas, and I was at 7 with 4 Chandra emblems and no blockers, tapped out. If they had simply made 4 Chandra tokens and attacked I would’ve died on my upkeep, by they instead doubled a spell to kill all my creatures. I recast Niv, draw the rest of my deck, and swing away. drat near BROKE my OOPS button, I tell you what!

This event is the easiest wins you could ever hope for, it's all RDW players who dont know how to play the deck. Too bad the rewards arent dupe protected, I just got gems.
