Played my first competative pioneer since 2020, joined a league on MTGO with Orzhov vampires and got a 2-0 win over I think Naya Winota? I didn't see her until game 2 and it didn't seem to get many hits from non-humans attacking, maybe just Brutal Cathars. Did go to my last minute of time without a game 3 though, so that's a worry. I needed to cast Champion of Dusk to draw into a Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord so I could then attack wide enough to get a point in, then cast him to Bitening Helix for the win. Don't really know where the time all goes.

Oh hey, went 2-1 against Grixis in the second match. Maybe I'm just the greatest Magic player who ever lived? General "maindeck Thoughtseize" benefits and T3 Blood Baron they don't seem to be able to deal with (I'm sure they'd start running Soul Shatter if Vampires start taking a big spot in the meta, or maybe I was just lucky and they didn't get to draw Extinction Event) Much better on time this go around, so feeling good about the whole thing.

so are we getting enchantment creatures and/or enchantment lands or are we just gonna have to draft a poo poo ton of garbage auras to gain value out of the "enchantments matter" cards?

Why wouldn't they just give them flying for the activated ability? It wouldn't have been the first time they represented Frog Jump Real Good as flying.

e: Eh, I guess it keeps them from blocking. Something something my verisimiliude.

It also prevents them from benefitting off of any "creatures you control with flying" effects.

Taxonomically, all toads are frogs (order Anura) so it is technically correct to put toads into a "frog" creature type.

Cardshoplive IS Channel Fireball's card store. They stopped selling singles for MTG but they still sell sealed MTG and singles for other games. It's one of those "technically we're doing what we said, even if in practice we aren't" situations.

someone leaked the 2 kamigawa commander decks on ebay









quote:

Chishiro, the Shattered Blade - 2RG
Legendary Creature - Snake Samurai
Whenever an Aura or Equipment enters the battlefield under your control, create a 2/2 red Spirit creature token with menace.

At the beginning of your end step, put a +1/+1 counter on each modified creature you control. (Equipment, Auras you control, and counters are modifications.)
4/4

quote:

Kaima, the Fractured Calm - 2RG
Legendary Creature - Spirit
At the beginning of your end step, goad each creature your opponents control that's enchanted by an Aura you control. Put a +1/+1 counter on Kaima, the Fractured Calm for each creature goaded this way.
3/3
Edit: was remember the backside commander

i can make out all of the cards except dosei, I think his text reads "If dosei is enchanted, equipped, and has a counter on it, then it gains 'whenever cardname does damage to a player, draw that many cards and deal that much damage to each other creature [that player controls]

Now that I think about Jin-Gitaxias becoming a Hakama wearing Ronin weebbot I realise that Vorinclex also picked up the local culture as shown by his choice of clothing. That is he's wearing a bear-skin cloak and is otherwise naked because he picked up the berserker culture.

if they ever print river's rebuke on a creature it probably won't be a 6/6 for 6 with good keywords

Gitaxias wore a robe in his original art too. He just changed it for one with a local design.
