it is curious we talked so much about this thread and not the set that literally released this week and I think I know why, because it's not exciting the two sets before that were an exception and we are back to "normal" Kaldheim/Strixhaven levels aka modern functional iterative

Was that in a random pack or prerelease that we got that legendary in, I can't recall. It was will before spoiler season restarted though.

In Modern, I've been using an Eldrazi tron deck recently but I am wondering what other Eldrazi combinations I could try. There is the mono-green version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avGAv7ogmR4 But are there are other variants that I should know about? Eldrazi Obligator seems underrated?

I honeslty hadn't looked much at the set so going through it now a lot of the stuff is new to me. Here's my first reactions of stuff I'm interested in. Adeline (good in winota?) Fateful Absence Consider (just a strictly better opt, right?) Delver Malevolent Hermit Patrician Giest (Another spirit lord with some weird synergies that might make the deck more interesting) Bloodline culling Infernal Grasp Jadar (interesting brawl guy, not a huge kill target but synergies all over) Meathook Massacre (brawl finisher) Burn Down the House Curse of Shaken Faith (historic mono red sideboard stuff?) Light up the Night Moonveil Regent Play with Fire (strictly better shock) Reckless Stormseeker (more control punishers, please) Smoldering Egg (dragon in the ice) Auger of Autumn (would be busted with “play an extra land” obviously but still might be good) Consuming Blob Saryth (potentially nasty with Fynn) Can’t Stay Away Hallowed Respite Old Stickfingers (this is weird enough it might do something cool) Rem Karolus (the flavor of raw power I appreciate) Sigarda Siphon Insight Pithing Needle

Hearing Patrick on the Resleevables talk about placing “point” in terms of power across a set makes me think it’s like a finite resource for a given release, or has defined parameters going into design. It’d be fun to breakdown sets about where we think they put it.

Mono Red Eldrazi seems fine(mcmagic shared that one), aspiringspike streamed some Mono Green Eldrazi a few weeks ago that he did pretty alright with as well iirc. Probably start with those. Re: the thread stuff, I'm pretty much solely a lurker, with only a handful of posts, but I'm fine with the current system of threads tbh.

To chime in my two cents, I'm not a frequent poster in this thread but I do keep up with reading it, and I appreciate having the drama and sex pest notifications and stuff like that being discussed. Mostly because going to a TG Industry thread doesn't appeal to me since I don't play or care about most other games, and the only other real place to get that kind of news is either the hellhole that is Reddit or trying to make sense of vagueposting on Twitter. And, despite how aggro some people can get around here, SA does have a usually more nuanced level of discussion than most other places I've seen it happen. If it was split off into a dedicated MTG drama thread I'd probably follow that, but my suspicion is that it would aggregate all back into this thread's iteration within a year anyway.

The Klowner posted:Is this in the most recent episode? he uses that term in general whenever he's talking about set design. my understanding is that it's not like a literal formal process of like divvying up a spreadsheet or something, but in the sense of which cards they specifically push to be powerful or commonly played in a given set. so for example, in the recent lorwyn one he laments that the "power points are in the wrong places" because lorwyn is supposed to be a creature-centric tribal set, but the best cards in it were stuff like cryptic command, thoughtseize, ponder, etc.

My only problem with too much text is when its a super convoluted way to describe an effect that ends up being very....not powerful. There was a good bit of that in Kaldheim and it hit a crescendo in Strixhaven with the professors, all of whom I believe weren't any good outside of Limited. I don't find the text too overwhelming for Innistrad so far, but I haven't played with the cards yet, I mostly grok whats going on with the cards though

Do any cards trigger off of night>day, or day>night alone, or are all of the time triggers either way? I don't remember seeing any.

If you want to be really picky, Brutal Cathar only exiles more creatures when it flips to the human side, but otherwise all the non werewolves trigger in both directions.

If scryfall is to be believed there's only like 10 cards that even trigger on the day/night flip without a transformation being involved.

Nah, that triggers off transform. The awkward wording (day becomes night or night becomes day) on the non-transform triggers is probably to reduce vocabulary / room for confusion, but either part would stand on its own as a trigger condition.

Dias posted:I think WotC is probably more harmful to the environment than crypto if we're really gonna raise concerns over emissions. I’m certain the scales have tipped the other way several years ago. I’m really surprised how well legacy has been able to absorb the ragavan/murktide/DRC decks. The format isn’t unrecognizable from a few years ago, but removal is so efficient that it’s really wild to see. I was worried they may have to ban rag, but it looks like it’ll be ok? I should note I hate how much rag has as a 1-drop, but that ship sailed a long time ago.

Savanah lions used to be a chase 5 dollar rare. And question about the Trophy race, is there any rewards at the end of a season based on those?
