no idea when this got spoiled or why it isn't marked as a story card, but I guess that's the answer to that plot riddle

So I went through the rest of the cards I found at my mom’s house and no Cabal Coffers but I did find two Rhystic Studies which is even better lol

Oh god more spoilers I can't take it. Choose a Background, and Initiative? New keywords? Edit: Backgrounds are a type of Legendary Enchantment? Edit 2: Gates in my Baldur's Gate product? It's more likely than you think Strong Sauce fucked around with this message at 02:19 on Apr 16, 2022 |

There's a few rule cards in the mix; Initiative is the same as Monarch but instead of drawing a card at end of turn you delve into The Underdark, this is the only to delve into that dungeon. Backgrounds are like Partner but with an enchantment instead of a creature.

I agree that the flavour is pretty restrictive though, especially if they want to move the mechanic to different colours like they have with treasures

Oh gotcha, wasn't aware there were older equipment with creatures types. As an aside, the CL2 leaks have spiked Maze's End $10 overnight.

Pre-prerelease happening now at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun if you want to see people play with the new cards. Marshal (Limited Resources) and Kenji (Numotthenummy) are there as guests so they have someone good at the game there this time.

Anyone have good recommendations for podcasts? Looking for something for limited and something for constructed, standard mostly though I'd like to get into pioneer and modern too.

Limited: lords of limited, drafting archetypes (feat. Sam Black), and limited level ups. Constructed: arena deck lists for standard, dominaria's judgement for modern. I do not have a recommendation for pioneer.

MDFCs are decent but it’s funny that that the set they were originally intended for, Stryxhaven, had the worst implementation of them. I think they work best when one or both sides are relatively simple or they at least have clear thematic ties. The dean cycle in particular was a terrible execution of the concept.

The spell/bolt lands from ZNR are really cool, and there are a handful of MDFC in Kaldheim I think are neat (Esika, Reidane, Halvar).

Spells on lands has led to way more games of magic being actually played. Not a single one has been overbearing imo. One of the better designs they have tried.

Yeah the ZNR spell lands own. Even some of the ones that you can't bolt into play are cool like Glasspool Mimic and Spikefield Hazard since they're rarely dead cards and at the very least they're additional cards you can pitch to elementals or whatever.

The spell lands enabled Charbelcher to be the sort of only remaining viable combo deck in Modern, so they do in fact rule yeah

Sickening posted:Spells on lands has led to way more games of magic being actually played. Not a single one has been overbearing imo. One of the better designs they have tried. The entire way mtg handles lands and resources is fundamentally flawed just because its extremely NOT fun to be sitting on no lands or all lands in your opening hand. There's been a lot of creative ways to alleviate it like cycling/basic land cycling, double faced lands, spell lands, probably a ton of creative ideas that have helped. but at the end of the day if you were going to build MTG from scratch you wouldn't include "hope you draw enough lands in your opening hand or start the game at a card disadvantage" as a fundamental mechanic. i think it was hearthstone but i forget the other tcg where you can basically play any card face down as a land, which is a really cool idea so you just build entirely around your curve

I think force of will had a different take where you could replace your draw step with a draw from a separate 10 card "land deck"

Wow tcg does the face down cards as resources thing. Duel Masters has any card in your deck can be played as a resource. So wotc already fixed the issue in another game haha.

I agree that the uncertainty of getting to 4+ lands is part of the fun. I’d like to see a mechanic like, “if you control 2 or fewer lands, you may play this as a Basic Wastes” stapled onto a bunch of cards. Something to smooth out the early game.

I don't mind Shaile/Embrose or Valentin/Lisette too much because at least there are obvious connections between the two halves, even if I do tend to forget that Valentin exiles. The others are just  though

How highly should murder be valued for limited in SNC? My initial thought is "not very" considering it's BB cost, but removal seems to be at a premium in this set, and fwiw Draftsim rates it a 3.1 base value. I'm assuming Draftsim's ratings are only based on speculation, hence the question to y'all.

With treasure fixing prevalent and the cycle of triomes and draw lands, I'd weight that kind of premium removal about the same as you would in most sets and not worry overmuch about the BB. Caveat: I think shield tokens might make tapdown/o-ring slightly more attractive than destroy effects this set but I'm not a Magic genius just my speculation.

Something to smooth out the early game. a mulligan rule that lets you tutor for a basic land and put it on top on your first turn. Maybe there would be a way to break the game with that in certain formats but it would be nice in limited

Theres never gonna be a perfect system without a big rules overhaul so tbh id rather they just let it lie for now. Honestly i liked the "mulligan normally then scry" they used to have, i wish they had stopped there tbh
