Chakan posted:Takklemaggot is a fun and interesting card where if you explain the flavor first, most every player will understand what’s going on. Similar to Chains, once you get the intent it’s not hard to understand the mechanical concept. But Magic is a game where “dies” and “leaves the battlefield” are not the same thing, and when you’re that granular then players are going to require the oracle text on hand and for you to explain it to them step-by-step. What's the flavor behind Takklemaggot? I've had one since I opened one from a pack of Chronicles and just assumed it was a gnarly Alien/Aliens reference.

Yeah man if there's anything I want from my Cultivate, it's for it to be harder to cast, to be unable to pick what land I get, and for it to not give me a second card sometimes. Also the card you draw will be off curve if you make your next land drop after you untap. Hell yeah baby sign me up.

I mean most of these things are controllable things and a 4-5 drop is better than a land 90% of the time. I think it's better than Cultivate the vast majority of the time but it's not unbelievably better.

How does that work exactly with effects like "whenever you cast a creature spell with power 4 or greater"? when does the 'becoming' happen exactly

resistentialism posted:How does that work exactly with effects like "whenever you cast a creature spell with power 4 or greater"? when does the 'becoming' happen exactly The card says it "becomes" a crow "when you cast" it. So it's still in the stack. And it's a trigger, so order your triggers as you like. Literally the only thing that reads like you said is Sarkhan's Unsealing, so in that 1 edge case, do what you want.

I think it's better than Cultivate the vast majority of the time but it's not unbelievably better. The decks that have played Cultivate in Standard are almost entirely looking for more land drops (Ultimatums, or Valakut a decade ago) so your 90% is way way overstated. I guess you can play it in historic with Omnath but alchemized Omnath costs 5 so you're forced into playing this off curve to get something flowing. Really a better comparison would be to The Celestus, as ramp plus card selection, which I'd much rather have in more cases, especially since it is can be played in any colour deck not just heavy green. Maybe there's some deck that specifically wants this to get a key 4 but then you're just hosed if you don't cast this on the exact correct turn.

Jiro posted:What's the flavor behind Takklemaggot? I've had one since I opened one from a pack of Chronicles and just assumed it was a gnarly Alien/Aliens reference. Yeah, it’s a parasite that eventually kills the host then latches on to a new one. If you explain to people unfamiliar with the card that it will put -0/-1 counters till the host dies then the host’s controller picks a new creature to infect or it hurts them, that works better than reading the card verbatim, where people will get lost in the exact effect and lose the idea of the card.

A big flaming stink posted:Holy poo poo I only now realized that Huntmaster doesn't give you additional copies for each copy you exile from your deck It does two things: 1. Removes cards from deck. Just deck thinning stuff you don't want into exile (or stuff you can cast from exile later like that one weird card?) 2. Removes cards from hand, but turns the removed card into a sideboard card Or a combination thereof. It originally just did 1), but they changed it in development so that it could do 2) too, as a power boost
