Antillie posted:Recently I went down to my local games shop to see about getting back into the game and as far as I can tell everyone just plays commander these days, a format I have no real interest in due to the no duplicates rule. yep, commander freaks running amok nowadays. sad story but very common. Antillie posted:Also there seems to be a real focus on not making decks too strong. I honestly have no idea how u sure thats not another commander thing? they have to do that social contract stuff bc the format is a mess that can range from jankville to legacy tier poo poo. afaik thats not rly a thing if ur playing a normal format. Antillie posted:I really just want to have some casual fun, not seal club other people who have newer or less coherent decks. In general I would greatly prefer to play with no power 9, no proxies, and no more than 4 duplicates. Are these reasonable expectations or am I just being dumb? no more than 4 duplicates is a thing in every format ever. finding a player group thats gonna let u play the old cards but not be either legacy/vintage (which are insanely powerful formats that will kick ur rear end) or commander nonsense will be the challenge.

Antillie posted:So I played magic a ton like 20 years ago. Back then the only way I ever played was 60 cards to a deck, no more than 4 of each card except basic lands, and each player started with 20 life. Games were either 1 on 1, 2 on 2, or 3 or 4 player free for alls. Recently I went down to my local games shop to see about getting back into the game and as far as I can tell everyone just plays commander these days, a format I have no real interest in due to the no duplicates rule. Of course it was "commander night" (I didn't know what that meant until I got there) so maybe other days are not so commander focused. Your decks are going to suck rear end. A handful of old cards are crazy powerful, most of them have been completely left in the dust by newer cards. I don't know where to find 60 card casual these days, but you're going to have to build new decks even for kitchen table play unless playing against decks of similar age.

I don't mind playing legacy/vintage as all my stuff is in that age class. I used to play against balance-zorb decks, tolarian academy decks, and the like all the time. The academy decks were the only ones I could never really beat. Loosing doesn't bother me. I guess what I am trying to say is that the power level of legacy was baseline back when I played. And my decks were all built and tuned in that environment. Hence my worry that they will be OP against the decks of today. Antillie fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Feb 2, 2022 |

Its just going to take some playing with it to figure out. Its a very interesting design space. Its basically a dash only creature with a useful channel. I am curious, is the channel "discard this card and draw a card" or discard another card? Because if its just cycling, this card is dope as gently caress.

A 3/1 artifact creature with menace is not good enough on its own. The ability to upgrade another creature later is interesting, but is the effect powerful enough for the investment?

The mono-b deck in Pioneer was hurting for good 2 drops after Copter got banned, this seems like it could be a potential upgrade for the Scrapheap Scroungers. Evasive beater early game that lets your other stuff swing in for 5+ with menace for reach in the late game isn’t exciting but feels strong to me.

This one seems like it’s pretty strong and could see play in aggro decks in the right meta.

I think Reinforced Ronin will actually fit in pretty well in Obosh midrange builds. Pitchable to Fury, helps enable delirium since it's two types and can be grabbed with Chandra Dressed to Kill
