how many cards have we even seen that just make creature tokens in and of themselves in this set like not some triggered ability, not a disturb, just a thing you can play t1 or t2 to curve into this kaya? e: i looked at mythicspoiler and came up with 0, so there better be a lingering souls reprint or something in those last 70 cards to make this remotely playable even in limited Arivia fucked around with this message at 02:45 on Nov 5, 2021 |

it doubles all tokens, not just creature tokens, so it works with all those blood tokens going around

I think the set has improved a lot as spoilers have continued. I don't think it'll be the meta shakeup everyone wants as I doubt any of the pillars of the format are going away without a ban, but I think it's pretty likely there will be a good bit of movement in what's competitive or T1.

i know i've said this about kaya and 3 mana walkers a bunch of times and been proven hella wrong each time but that card seems bad if they change her minus to straightup doubling season that's completely and utterly busted, right?

Pablo Nergigante posted:There she is I dig it, +1 seems good if you're going wide, forcing the opponent to let attacks through or give up blockers to deathtouch is a rough time. -2 means I think this is a build around like Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord. Ultimate isn't an insta-win but can be good if she stays on board to +1 again. Also not the -2 isn't only for creature tokens. Applies to Blood, treasure and the rest. Also Awaken the Blood Avatars token is not legendary. BizarroAzrael fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Nov 5, 2021 |

The MTG stories for Crimson Vow state that Emrakul getting shoved into the moon was the catalyst for this particular occurrence, but the day/night balance getting weird every couple millennia is just one of those things that happens on Innistrad because that's just how spooky town works apparently.

We haven't had anything strong come in and shake things up, we just have strong cards rotating out, making room for all the weaker cards, which then rotate out and make room for even weaker cards. Like, yeah we get that they feel REAL bad about everything in eldraine but drat, its like core set power level but triple the words

I thought the whole deal with Midnight Hunt and the big metal sun thing the ritual was performed at was specifically that it's not supposed to get weird and someone messed it up and now it's being un-messed.

Sinteres posted:Why would the metal thing even exist in the first place if it hadn't been needed before though? I was under the assumption the metal thing was how it got goofed in the first place and they were reversing that ritual with a new one. Partially because we always heard the nights on Innistrad were extra long and the harvest tide/pagan stuff was feeling like lost knowledge rediscovered only as things started getting even worse than usual for humans.

A Moose posted:kaldheim wasn't a huge meta shakeup I think Kaldheim was the biggest shakeup we've had outside of a rotation since the pre-nerf companions debacle. After clover/omnath were gone, the meta had settled to Rogues, Green Food, Gruul Cleave/Henge, and Yorion Doom Foretold. The advent of Kaldheim and the tools it gave to Sultai Ultimatum pretty much pushed doom foretold out, but faceless haven + other cards let food to turn into snow stompy, gruul to mono-red, mono-white to be viable, and we also saw flavors of temur adventures and goldspan/unleash fury decks. The only pre-kaldheim deck that didn't change radically or get pushed out of the meta was rogues.

I feel like this standard meta is really quite varied, maybe as varied as standard can be, but it still feels boring to play because the smaller pool necessarily correlates to seeing the same decks/kinds of decks more frequently than in, say, modern or historic

I’d love to see the population statistics of Innistrad, a plane that has gone through three apocalyptic events over 15 years on top of the already insane mortality rate of three intelligent species constantly hunting each other with a dash of zombies and psycho cannibal axe murderers added in.

Yeah, I mean, this is comparatively tame compared to Emrakul trying to assimilate everything, but there was a very short reprieve before things got apeshit again.
