Well for once I'm caught up with the thread when posts like these are coming down so hey guys: you know you can totally go "hmm I see that you think this card is great but based on X, Y, and Z I think it isn't so great" or "I would politely differ, friends, I feel like given it could do A B and C, maybe it's a good card though" and similarly not try and wheelslam down a super-aggro shitpost about how your MTG: The Thread enemies are just insanely stupid and driving you to howling laughter by their mega-wrong take? I know there's a long history of this stuff in the thread but I am trying to help you guys gradually change the thread culture. Because my alternative is that the mods push me to just hand out sixers and I would rather not do that.

The Pathway flip lands are confusing me so I made a list of how many pathways can be played in each shard and wedge. Bant (WUG): 1 Esper (WUB): 2 Grixis (UBR): 2 Jund (BRG): 1 Naya (RGW): 3 Abzan/Junk (WBG): 2 Jeskai/America (WUR): 2 Sultai (BUG): 1 Mardu/Kaalia (WBR): 2 Temur (RUG): 2 So if there's an aggressive three-colour deck, it might have a small advantage being Naya.

Marketing New Brain posted:Arsonist doesn't have the upside. There's clearly a RW or RW/x equipment deck being seeded in this set. It doesn't take much to push a one drop from unplayable to very good. I'm not saying it will be the next Thraben Inspector, but one drops are among the hardest to predict for constructed. none of the thus-spoiled equipment looks especially playable and this is fighting for space with Javier and Red Steppe Lynx at 1 in red, it'd take a LOT of work for this to be playable, and it's def not an analogue for Mogg Fanatic as originally stated

BizarroAzrael posted:I'd say Dusk Legion Zealot if you still have them, then Id experiment replacing Gifted Atherborn, see if it's better than being defensive. Late game getting a Champion of Dusk back seems great. Aetherborn is too much value to drop, even if casting it is a pain in the Orzhov vamps deck. Seems like you'd keep Aetherborn and run this guy as a 4 of in addition. Sickening posted:The black mythic land also is making my pants go crazy. It does seem like the one most like to get broken in half.

Yeah seriously, this thing is a cross-format whirlwind slam. Exactly what generic black aggressive decks AND vampire tribal have been waiting for for years. I will put many Demonic Embraces on many Nullpriests for the next year

How many of each class would be needed to fill a party by turn 3? What about a decklist like this? One mana: 2 Fireblade Charger (Warrior) 4 Wildwood Tracker (Warrior) 4 Archpriest of Iona (Cleric) 2 Kitesail Cleric (Cleric) 4 Tajuru Blightblade (Rogue) 2 Sneaking Guide (Rogue) Two mana: 4 Tajuru Blightblade (Multiclass) 2 Fissure Wizard (Wizard) Payoffs: 4 Tazri 4 Winota, Joiner of Forces 4 Veteran Adventurer 4 RG pathway 4 RW pathway 4 GW pathway 4 WB pathway 2 RU pathway 6 G forest

(the post you replied to was spicy, not your reply) lol I think TKoS is a crybaby and half the time they post in this thread it's complaining about the game or the players or the posters in this thread, but I don't think anything they've posted deserves moderation, and none of their posts really match what Leperflesh was talking about. I'll fully admit that this thread is pretty raucous a lot of the time and people are unnecessarily bitchy toward each other, but idk I feel like for the past few weeks the thread has been substantially better than it has been and I don't really know where these complaints about "aggro" posts are coming from.

There's no point in ignoring anyone because all the big angry dummies in this thread will inevitably get quoted with angry retorts and thus making the flow of the thread either unreadable or almost completely unchanged. Also, new 2 drop vamp is cool.

I'd love to hear about the decks you guys are planning to build in the new Standard. Is anyone else working on a Party deck and have some insights for me? With Rakdos Sac rotating out, will big creature decks become more viable? Will mono-red be just as strong without Runaway Steamkin?

Two relevant creature types and all those abilities. I wonder at what point they had a 2/1 Lifelink zombify on a stick and they thought it needed Menace to make sure it was constructed playable. fadam posted:Party is a cool mechanic but I think it's probably too fiddly to be a meaningful constructed mechanic.

Marketing New Brain posted:I don't know, have you seen some of the creatures they are printing at relevant types? Yeah, there's a lot of cool new and old guys who happen to be party types, I'm just not convinced the best place to run them is going to be in a shell that uses the party mechanic. Too be clear I've done zero testing and I'm just speculating, but it feels like Mutate to me where there's a handful of cool cards that use the mechanic but they're almost never going to be in lists that focus on it. I'd love to be wrong because I think the mechanic is rad. It feels hard enough to keep four random cards alive for an extended period of time, but having four distinct, specific creatures alive simultaneously is a tough sell in a format with very playable removal.

Marketing New Brain posted:
The central mechanic of your deck is having four creatures in play and then casting another spell to get value off of it. that’s about two more hoops that any of the other decks are going to need to jump through. I foresee situations in which Wynota accidentally generates a full party and really nothing outside of that corner case

Like by turn 6 a good deck is going to be casting Ugin.

Them printing Ugin back into Standard is easily one of the dumbest things they have done recently. Nothing screams a slower format where you can play some more interesting cards like I reset the game, while my game winning card stays on board.

spawn of mayhem and his friends are rotating, but i wonder if there will be enough cards for a good mono black or RB aggro deck in standard. you can play this vampire, the new bloodghast, rankle, the new vampire nighthawk, agonizing remorse and cling to dust do deal with uro, stuff like that.
