super impressed by the goons that like various types of beers (all of them bad rear end types to drink), but also impressed by the goons that don't drink for various reasons

don't believe that anyone has mentioned liking to drink hard liquor but i imagine i'd find that very interesting to read about as well

The Goldspan Dragon deck reliably combos off turn 5 or 6 with the inclusion of Big Score.

Calling it now, that's the problem deck of the format.

Izzet Tempo list. Main shell is Dragon's Fire, Fading Hope, Unexpected Windfall / Big Score, Goldspan Dragon, Galvatic Iteration, Alchemist's Gamble.

I've seen it go from an empty board turn 4 to EoT Unexpected Windfall into Goldspan into taking me tapped out from 20 to death without a response.

Based on my assumption that you get knocked down and then back up again, so you run some sort of gimmicky lifegain deck?

I’m glad release day is here and I can buy me a couple of SNC packs to open. I’m not addicted, unlike you alcoholics in this thread!

IPAs are okay once in a while, but give me lagers, porters, stouts, or maltier ales. Also scotch.

Right near the Logan Square stop on the blue line. I'm not wise in the ways of Chicago neighborhoods yet, but so far I like it.

I like IPAs but I'd rather have a choice of more different styles of beer than a selection of 15 IPAs when I go to a beergarden.

If the New Wave Cafe is still there, that was my jam when I lived there. Good coffee, good food, comfy seats, board games and an N64 on a big TV in the evenings. Open late.

I've walked past New Wave a few times but haven't tried it yet--it looks great. Thanks for the suggestion :cheers:

ho-lee poo poo I'm opening some collector packs because I'm a sucker and I had heard of the "gold foil" style cards you can get in new capenna packs, and these are loving SLICK looking in person.

the showcase gold border is almost textured, slightly raised off the card even, is chrome gold and looks extremely nice. there's slight regular foiling to the artwork itself but not the rest of the card it seems, which again, looks much nicer than regular foils that are just foiling glommed over the entire surface of the card.

verrrrrry nice, this is the sort of "premium foil" I want to see more of, this and the commander legends etched foil style. I don't think these will pringle, either, since it's not the whole drat card that's foiled, just select spots. love it.

Those do sound very nice, but it's giving me big "Tasteful thickness... my god it's even embossed" vibes, in the best way

Honestly I think my favorite card treatment they've done period is the old bordered cards from MH2. I just love the old borders so much :shobon:

I wouldn't disagree, but it seriously does look super nice and isn't overbearing

you can get a common gilded foil for like 50 cents on tcgplayer, grab one and check it out

There are cards like Silent Gravestone that make cards in graveyards untargetable, or stuff like Leyline of Sanctity that gives you hexproof can protect against player-targeting stuff that would hit your graveyard.

For those planning on cracking packs, I think New Capenna Set Boosters are the best set boosters they've done so far. remember them touting "the list" and then it turned out 99% of it was absolute bottom of the barrel trash garbage commons like Urborg Panther, and maybe one or two cards in the entire list was worth a drat? well it seems the new list is much more tightly focused, and it appears that it's ALL RARES/MYTHICS. I have opened two set boxes and not gotten a single common or uncommon in the list slot.

in addition, the list absolutely vomits the replacement Stranger Things cards at you, in a single box I got these list cards and not-stranger things cards:


and the frequency of mythics is pretty decent too for the regular capenna cards. in one box I got 2 foil mythics and a foil showcase giada in addition to the regular mythics. not bad at all, though the foiling on the three of them is...muted, at best


triome frequency seems to be between 2-4 per box, based on opening two boxes, but I'll be cracking the rest of the case and will report back.

did not see a single Gilded Foil card in either set box, it was mentioned someone here got one in theirs, but I'm not sure if they got a regular foil showcase frame and thought that's what that was?

I saw it once, it just sort of played as a lovely control deck, took an extra turn, dropped a dragon and then died to some goblins + burn. What's the actual combo, just big treasure mana and extra copied turns?
