goferchan posted:Did Wizards ban devs from competing games from playing MTG competitively or something? Not sure what this guy or LSV is alluding to He's been a dev for at least two separate games for a while now (Eternal and FAB), so I can't imagine it would be that. More than likely the juice isn't worth the squeeze as far as competitive MTG play when taking into account return on investment for time spent, travel, etc. Once WOTC unfucks high level competitive play I'm sure he (and a lot of other pros) will be back.

I feel like how well sales did during the pandemic undermined marketing's argument that the protour was a vital piece of advertising.

The pro tour was never a very good promotional exercise, it only appealed to players who were already engaged so much with the product that they knew the game well enough to know how to interpret paper magic on camera, which is a huge barrier to understanding or enjoying the coverage. It was a nice bit of media for something I already enjoyed, but it wasn't gonna get the "buy the three booster blister pack at Walmart" set to show up to a GP or even FNM.

does making the copy into a frog negate legendary status for the copy, or does it have to explicitly state that it doesn't count as a legendary?

Legendary, like basic and snow, is a super type. Frog is a subtype, it's below the type (which is creature) and two steps below super types. So your new copy is going to keep its super types and types but lose its subtypes and have all subtypes be overwritten with "Frog"

That card's gonna be nice with a few fat reanimation targets, a bunch of pest generators and Culling Ritual

Trying to tell how good Rebirth really is. 4 mana is the default rate for reanimate effects and generally doesn't get there in constructed unless the archetype is really pushed in that Standard or maybe if it's effects number 5-8 backing up a more efficient card. Coming in at a base 5 mana, this card is going to need some creatures dying to get there, and it's going to be non-trivial to do that without spending mana in the first place, especially if you're trying to take advantage of the cost reduction to go off quickly so you only have like two turns to set it up. We've seen some sac outlets and some cheap graveyard enabling creatures already, so it's entirely possible that deck will be there, but I think this card is a roleplayer rather than a reason to play an archetype. Flashback is interesting and has been good enough to see Unburial Rites get played even in formats where its mana cost is tremendous, but this costs even more than Unburial Rites and it remains to be seen how effectively its first line of text can be leveraged to alleviate that.

Are there any good manadorks in standard? Can you power out an early culling ritual into rebirth and flash it back?

Yeah I think we need to see more of the set to really have an idea of whether the card will be playable. It's got enough upside to probably see play with the right suite of enablers and payoffs, but it's not pushed enough to create the archetype on its own and on like 2 1/2 days of spoilers we've got nowhere near enough information to say how it will shake out.

I don't think the card makes any sense in a traditional reanimator deck. The shell where I can imagine it being exciting is more like Aristocrats - sac some guys, reanimate a multi-bodied creature for GB, sac them, reanimate it again for GB.

When ramp is strong and all the powerful creatures either have non-cheat clauses or cost 7ish, it's really hard ever justifying doing reanimation instead. Pretty cool for a cheap pay to sac outlet creature.
