MikeCrotch posted:Yeah I thought TSP Remastered was coming to Arena, mb there are already 274 cards you can play in historic that aren't pioneer legal like other posters said, the goal has always for historic to eventually be a superset of pioneer, containing all the cards in pioneer (and at that point having pioneer being a format you can play on arena outright). think of it like arena legacy.

Aranan posted:Generally just call both of them "blink" or "flicker" and if specificity is needed I'll say one is fast or slow. I usually go with this too. They're interchangeable to me, I just specify "until end of turn" or whatever and it's fine.

I bet the Historic plan is for it to be Pioneer-ish right up to the point Pioneer is here, then start trying to power it into something closer to "fair modern" through Anthologies. If we really do get Pioneer going in earnest this summer, it wouldn't surprise me if stuff like Bolt, Vial, Path and Cryptic start showing up for Historic this fall or this time next year. But we'll probably never see stuff like Manamorphose, the dredgers, Chalice. I could see getting Stoneforge but never getting the swords. Noble but never Dryad Arbor. The Horizon Canopies but never the fetches. That kind of thing. Huxley fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Feb 24, 2021 |

Imo blink should be until end of turn because the spell Blink in WoW blinks you forward.

I would call both effects "blinking" because Momentary Blink was such a huge card when it was legal. If pressed, I would probably call the "until end of turn" effect "flicker"

Jabor posted:One of them is on Momentary Blink and the other one is on Flickerwisp, so it's more about historical convention than it is about what "seems" faster. There's a card called Flicker that's older than both, guess which one it does

I call the fast one flicker or blink I propose that we call the slow one Journey, after Otherworldly Journey, not to be confused with Journey to Nowhere which is a different kind of exile Bonus points for the ability to taunt your opponent with lyrics from Don't Stop Believin, e.g., "In response to your Terminate, I think I will send my Tarmogoyf on the midnight train goin' anywhere"

What if we call the EoT effect flicker (because of Flickerwisp) and we call the instant effect Ephemerate, and then we can use Blink for something else.

Like a lot of terminology in Magic, it's dependent on when you got into the game. I call the slow one "Flicker" because the first card I saw with that kind of ability was Flickerform. Randomly, I just discovered that they printed another 2

Everyone knows to "blink" something is to return it to it's owner's hand. Don't tell me you never played Blinking Spirit.

Return something to hand is "bouncing". We even have "bounce lands"... not "blink lands".

MikeCrotch posted:Yeah I thought TSP Remastered was coming to Arena, mb WotC's stated intention for Historic is for it to be a unique, curated constructed format, including select cards from across mtg history (through Anthologies and Jumpstart) and cards from sets that have been standard legal (through Standard releases since Dominaria and through Remastered sets before DOM). I personally don't see any reason for WotC to stop once they Remaster RTR (and presumably add the missing Pioneer-legal cards that have been left out from Remasters). There's nothing stopping them from going until Historic becomes a superset of Modern, and beyond until it eventually becomes 1:1 with Vintage.

Yeah, and apparently the old bordered cards will be ones that were never in the old frame and are not in the original Time Spiral block.
