Re: Modern Belcher... why do people play Recross The Paths if Abundant Harvest does pretty much the same thing (for the deck) but 2 mana cheaper?

In the beltcher deck, recross allows the player to order their entire deck after recross resolves, which usually means stacking the first 8 cards as follows: Turntimbersymbiosis (to win the clash, then bottom it) Reforge the soul Desperate ritual Desperate ritual Ironcrag feat Charbelcher Manamorphose Pact of negation You can also put pact of the titan + infernal plunge depending on what was in your hand prior to Reforge the soul. There's also kill with pyromancer's ascension and looping bala ged revival. The deck seems neat as heck.

One of Germany's largest stores/retailers (think SCG) is doing a weekend event in January and they'll have Modern, Legacy, Pioneer and..."premodern." Yes, they're running some jank Mickey Mouse format over Standard. The whole thing will probably end up getting cancelled due to Corona anyways, but I thought it was funny.

is the pandeburst replenish any good in premodern? that was iirc the only combo deck that was banned from old extended but not from premodern. also i wonder if nobody is playing it because it probably costs like $3,000 to build lol

https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/making-magic/unfinity-and-beyond-2021-11-29 it was gestured at above but some of the cards including some new cards in Unfinity will be eternal-legal which is why they're doing acorn holomark/oval or no holomark to distinguish

Pablo Nergigante posted:...Because they're printed in an un-set? Check the border color. I'm general all black/white bordered cards are legal. But also every card that has a [format legal] printing can play any other copy of card interchangeably. So you can play unset basics in standard, Tempest Goblin Bombardment in modern, and unstable Steamflogger Boss in TSP block constructed E: oops they just changed the rules for unfunity so ignore border color and use card names.

As someone that's played w/ silver border cards in cubes and casual decks for years now, sure why not. Still, kind of a bummer as the silver border looks beautiful. Love love this art, but the border is definitely dropping the ball for that flat retro feel. quote:galaxy foil (the foil looks like stars in space; we aren't showing it off today but will show it off as we get closer to Unfinity's release) lol, is mtg finally going to embrace Pokemon style foils?

I'm sure I'll never need to actually investigate the shape of a holofoil in a tournament, but silver borders were cool and easier to pick out across the table than the shape of a 1cm shiny thing.

I was going to ask if you really think someone is going to sneak an un-card into a tournament, but I remembered that I once judged a standard tournament - either provincials or regionals, so not a causal tourney - where someone was playing an illegal card that nobody noticed until round 6 or so. (It was Stronghold Assassin which was in 7th edition but had rotated out by that point.)

I was being sincere, I don't think people will try to use un-set cards in a Legacy or Vintage tournament as a result of this change. I am also sure that they're going to print something in this set that will become expensive because it is playable in Legacy or Vintage, and people will assume (probably rightly) that it will never be reprinted because it showed up first in an un-set.
