fadam posted:Like, "put a +1/+1 counter on target creature until end of turn" type of thing. Bounty of the Hunt - green card in the Force of Will cycle - used to do that, then they erratad it to just be three +1/+1 til eot like Seeds of Strength, THEN they erratad it back to the first thing (sorta).

this maro article is kind of funny quote:Mark used this group to hit the trope of crime on the street (think The Warriors), but it got shifted a bit to people responsible for building the city infrastructure, artisans and builders, rather than leaning into things like street gangs, as that reinforced some stereotypes we wanted to avoid. quote:This is the green-centered family, so it focuses on larger crime organizations, ones with a sense of history and tradition. Early on, it leaned more into organized crime (think The Godfather) but shifted to be more about the groups that run the nightclubs, the center of the entertainment in the city. As a running theme, we were sensitive to capture crime tropes without playing into unnecessary stereotypes. quote:This was the white-centered family, so it played up the idea of using order to do crime. The faction in its earliest incarnation played up the trope of crooked cops (think LA Confidential), so it represented the police of the city. Looking at the real world and all the associations going on with police, we decided to shift away from police and toward lawyers.

fadam posted:Have we seen effects that put counters on stuff for a specified amount of time before? I'm certain its possible I just can't think of any right now. Not really since the point of the counter is to make it different than a temporary bonus. If the bonus is supposed to end, they usually just say when it ends.

Mat Cauthon posted:I guess "indestructible counter" was too lengthy but concept seems good. An indestructible counter could theoretically work for this kind of effect, but you'd have to jump through a lot of other hoops. For instance, if it was just "when this creature gets damaged, remove an indestructible counter from it", that wouldn't save them from lethal damage, so they'd have to add a clunky separate clause to address that. I wouldn't be surprised if this mechanic started out as removable indestructible counters, before they realised they'd save a lot of words by just making it a new counter type. When you factor in the existence of shield counters, Light Em Up seems pretty good - if there's a shielded 2/2 out, you can get rid of it by hitting it with both copies, for example. Or kill one creature and remove a shield counter from another. I feel like there are a lot of cards here that people are gonna misevaluate for a while in draft, because of how they look in a vacuum.

Unrelated to spoiler season, but is there a good heuristic/quick math you can do to figure out your chances of getting a hit off a spin effect (Kinnan, Winota, etc.)? Like if I have ten big payoffs left in my deck, and my library has ~85 cards, and I spin Kinnan, what are my chances of hitting a big payoff?

Yeah, 37% chance of exactly 1 hit 53% of 0 hits 90% of 1 or 0 hits 10% chance of more then 1 hit 47% chance of at least 1 hit.

To be fair, it also means "no one actually wants to play the police officers breaking people's skulls right now, if we made them that everyone would feel lovely about having to play White in draft". Let's not get unrealistically negative here.

fadam posted:I just really hate when they blow cool names on awful cards and then give boring names to really good cards. We deserve to live in a world where Bake into a Pie and You are Already Dead are eternal staples and Assassin's Trophy and Prismatic Ending are forgotten draft chaff. I'd guess it's because they want the generic names to be reprintable in any set, while the meme names gets silo'd to cards that nobody will miss, especially since we're (again) moving away from core sets.

Today's cards I'm interested in for Standard/Alchemy: Ob Nixilis, the Adversary if you sacrifice a creature to it, it is a lot for 3 mana. It puts out a lot of material making it very hard to answer with a singe removal spell, but if you get discard 2 or drain 4 going every turn that's a ton of pressure. Elspeth Resplendent the permanent counters are pretty cool. First strike is great on defense, lifelink is good for racing or stopping drain, flying is good on offense. The -3 is interesting, will have to see it play out. I'm not sure that this card is good, but it's worth trying. A Little Chat is a very interesting Village Rites/Deadly Dispute variant. You can cycle it without sacrificing anything, and it digs 4. It's also 2 spells for anything that cares about copies. Gala Greeters is a little all over the place and not fantastic at anything, but repeatable value at 2 cmc on a potential beater is something always worth paying attention to. Ledger Shredder doesn't need to trigger much to be value, and notably works on either player casting two spells in a turn. Falco Spara, Pactweaver is interesting because of the shield counter. It's an untap for value creature that is hard to kill, with a pretty good body. Maybe there's a deck that can reliably fuel it that wants the shield counter for surviving wraths. Courier's Briefcase is almost an inverted Prosperous Inkeeper and the redundancy between the two could power a deck that really wants to cast it's 4s on 3 every time. Vivien on the Hunt like I said earlier, this feels expensive but also at 5 it would be busted so maybe it's priced right for a few copies to show up here and there. Jaxis, the Troublemaker basically only for the blitz mode. It's a 2 power haste attack + cycle for 2, or 3 mana discard one draw 2 make a one turn haste clone of something.
