rickiep00h posted:The most incredible thing about hype/con men is that they all have the same bullshit speech about how revolutionary their *extremely stupid* project with obvious flaws will be. Every single one. dan olsen talks in his video about how most nft/dao projects these days basically leave the "point" of the nft offering "up to the community to decide." usually that means like "let them decide if their apes will be in a comic book or an mmo" (which as we all know, will never happen). but it's extra funny here with mtgdao because there's no actual upfront vision for the format! like why would you even want in the first place to buy into this format when you have no idea what it's even going to be on the most basic and fundamental levels!

The gf and I enjoy cracking packs, and have opened two neon kamigawa set booster boxes so far, slapping decks together as we go. Greasefang hoverbike gang with various mechs is definitely my favorite thing right now. We've got a draft with some friends set up for this weekend, it's gonna be dope.

 Chun seems nuts, right? Cast Time Warp every turn? Gief seems cool and would be an awesome stax commander if he had better colours. It seems like there has to be some way to bust Blanka. The rest aren't particularly good commanders IMO. Honda is a joke and who gives a poo poo about anything Guile is doing. I hope at least some of these guys are Legacy playable. fadam fucked around with this message at 22:01 on Feb 15, 2022 |

HootTheOwl posted:No it does. They were right: Chalice triggers when you cast a spell. Copying that spell won't 'cast' the copy. The copy will just appear on the stack asking politely if it its turn to resolve. Yeah 707.2. When copying an object, the copy acquires the copiable values of the original object’s characteristics and, for an object on the stack, choices made when casting or activating it (mode, targets, the value of X, whether it was kicked, how it will affect multiple targets, and so on). The copiable values are the values derived from the text printed on the object (that text being name, mana cost, color indicator, card type, subtype, supertype, rules text, power, toughness, and/or loyalty), as modified by other copy effects, by its face-down status, and by “as . . . enters the battlefield” and “as . . . is turned face up” abilities that set power and toughness (and may also set additional characteristics). Other effects (including type-changing and text-changing effects), status, and counters are not copied.

Is Pact of Negation a LOT worse in modern than force of negation? I suppose it depends on if you're shutting down someone else's gamewinning combo, allowing you to win on the next turn, vs stopping someone shutting down YOUR gamewinning combo, letting you win on the spot. But for things like Living End, I'm not sure. Lets say in the unlikely situation where you don't have ~$300 to drop on a set of forces, what's a good substitute? What are you normally countering with them and how early? I see most lists run them maindeck, so is it to protect yourself while you go off, or is it just that good against every deck?

I have frequently cast FoN without having enough mana to pay the Pact cost. I think it has its place in Modern but it's a lot worse than FoN. Pact is better in decks that want to protect their own combos obviously. Living End I think you want FoN for sure. If you (rightly) don't want to spend that kind of money I'd look into alternative card sources.

For stuff like Living End or other decks that work off Cascade you can also try to prevent them from being able to cast it with stuff like Void Mirror or Teferi Time Raveler. EDIT: Oh for playing IN Living End. Lol Pablo Nergigante fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Feb 15, 2022 |

I suppose it depends on if you're shutting down someone else's gamewinning combo, allowing you to win on the next turn, vs stopping someone shutting down YOUR gamewinning combo, letting you win on the spot. So here's the issue with Pact in living end: It costs 5 mana. Which means you can't cast outburst on 3 on the opponenet's turn and protect it with pact because you'll untap with 3 lands and be unable to pay. E: Ad Naus and infect probably care less since you're ending the game right then and there. Or belcher where you can untap and kill them before the trigger resolves.

I guess the chances of accidentally printing something busted might be way too high. I just love Street Fighter and it sucks how weak a lot of these guys are. I think a drop of 10 cEDH level commanders would be horrible. There’s a wide gulf between good/interesting and cEDH viable. I’d rather see their effects tuned up so they’re playable but not to the point that they become staples at the highest level of what’s generally a casual format. I’m no cEDH expert but there are what, 25ish viable commanders at that level? Dumping 10 more into that pool every few months seems problematic, especially since these cards will be used outside the command zone. Magic is already too focused on the short term and power creep would get insane after a few years of this. Of course this is all setting aside how much I would personally hate to have to face constant Universes Beyond decks. Also ignoring the economic aspects of locking cEDH power cards in secret lairs (until their eventual non-UB printing). LeafHouse fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Feb 15, 2022 |

Currently you play Thasia's Oracle to win after resolving Ad Naus or Spoils of the Vault. It was happy to get Profane Tutor out of MH2 even if right now modern is dominated by MH2's one drops.

There just aren't a lot of straight up combo decks in modern right now. Sure you've got Hammer or Goblins but these decks have fully functional game plans when they're not combing off. It's not like they have 20 lands, 8 combo pieces and then 32 cantrips with the ability to devote 4 slots to a free combo spell. Living End is probably the last one that can only win via combo and sees signifigant play. It's just not worth it to play a t4 combo deck like Pif/Twiddle Storm when Ragavan and and a Murktide can kill you at the same speed and hold up a counterspell.

cnp from a reddit post E. Honda, Sumo Champion - 4WW Legendary Creature - Human Warrior Sumo Spirit - As long as it's your turn, each creature assigns combat damage equal to its toughness rather than its power. Hundred Hand Slap - Whenever ~ attacks, up to one hundred creatures each get +0/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of cards in your hand. 0/7 Ryu, World Warrior - 2W Legendary Creature - Human Warrior Training Hadoken - 4R, Untap, Discard a card: ~ deals damage equal to his power to any target. If excess damage was dealt to a creature this way, draw a card. 2/4 Ken, Burning Brawler - 1RR Legendary Creature - Human Warrior Prowess R/W: Ken gains first strike until end of turn. Shoryuken - Whenever ~ deals combat damage, you may cast a sorcery spell from your hand with mana value less then or equal to that damage without paying its mana cost. 4/2 Blanka, Ferocious Friend - 3RG Legendary Creature - Human Beast Warrior Haste Rolling Attack - ~ has trample as long as you've cast three or more spells this turn. Electric Thunder - Whenever ~ becomes the target of a spell, he gets +2/+2 until end of turn and deals 2 damage to each opponent. 5/5 Chun-Li, Countless Kicks - 1WU Legendary Creature - Human Warrior Multikicker W/U When ~ enters the battlefield, exile up to X target instant cards from your graveyard, where X is the number of times ~ was kicked. Put a kick counter on each of them. Lightning Kick - Whenever ~ attacks copy each exiled card you own with a kick counter on it. You may cast the copies. 3/3 Dhalsim, Pliable Pacifist - 2GW Legendary Creature - Human Monk Reach Teleport - ~ has hexproof unless he's attacking. Whenever a creature you control with reach attacks, untap it and it can't be blocked by creatures with greater power this combat. Fierce Punch - Whenever one or more creatures you control deal combat damage to a player, draw a card. 1/3 Guile, Sonic Soldier - 1URW Legendary Creature - Human Soldier Whenever ~ enters the battlefield or attacks, put a charge counter on him or remove one from him. When you remove a counter this way, choose one - Sonic Boom - ~ deals ??? damage to any target. insert ability here - ~ gains ?? and indestructible until end of turn. 4/4 Zangief, the Red Cyclone - 2BRG Legendary Creature - Human Warrior ~ must be blocked if able Iron Muscle - As long as it's your turn, ~ has indestructible. Spinning Piledriver - Whenever ~ deals damage to a creature, if that creature was dealt excess damage this turn, that creature's controller sacrifices a noncreature, nonland permanent. 7/?
