flatluigi posted:nah, those players are invested in the game (in more ways than one!) and completely ignoring them isn't the right answer either You'd think (and by that I think) that they'd be invested no matter what. Come rain storm or weird cards they are in to buy

Pablo Nergigante posted:Also Ledger Shredder kicks rear end and is a great addition to Murktide. I bought a playset from my LGS for $1 each and the next day it went up to like $9. Now they're $20 in paper which is a bit excessive imo I'm so mad. I preordered 4 promos at 2.50 each from two different stores on TCG player and all four have disappeared in the mail.

disaster pastor posted:Here's my favorite example. This is the creature base in UR Delver, the most popular Legacy deck, in the last event before MH2: Man shows how little attention I've been paying to Legacy I guess, I didn't even realize he got banned out of the format. Now if we can just do the same in Modern... honestly for both W6 and Ragavan. When a lot of the 4C moneypile mega greedy decks are starting to run ragavans as well for some reason it just seems like a problem. Though I'll admit, playing the most expensive card in your moneypile deck is on brand. I know deep in my heart what's going to happen is I'm going to buy W6 with the reprint when the price gets lower, then a few months later they'll ban it Weird Pumpkin fucked around with this message at 17:02 on May 27, 2022 |

I think Ragavan should be banned in all formats, they made the card too good on purpose and now the joke of the 1 drop that ramps and draws has grown old. I have grown tired of it.Lone Goat posted:What should have won it instead? This is a pointless question to ask, because the answer is obviously "anything else" and you should start from that point.

Framboise posted:Whoever wrote the card needs to be flicked in the forehead for the weird wording, but I get it: Pick a creature you control, everyone else picks a creature they control with equal or lesser power, exile any remaining creatures on battlefield that were not chosen. I don't know why they had to write it the way they did. I've said it before, recently, but I hate this style of card: a designer wants to make a card that does a unique thing. There's no clean way to word the card under current templating rules, but drat it, they're going ahead with it anyway even if the text box is awkward.

Maybe it used to be that way? When I head judged my friend's first Vintage event, I asked if I should set the clocks for the minimum allowed time of 40 minutes. That's all they need when games are over in two turns, right? He laughed and I found out that because most decks are capable of winning turn one, every deck is packed with enough disruption to make sure that doesn't happen. Vintage decks started looking more like every other constructed format by the time I quit judging because of power creep in modern sets. Lots of Vintage players don't like that, but there's nothing they can do about it.

The funniest thing I learned about vintage is that most people, if given the choice of any card in their deck when demonic tutor or similar resolves, will choose to grab ancestral recall. Three random cards from deck are just that much better than any single card. It has looped back around to the format where people regularly animate 4-cost artifacts to beat down their opponent over a few turns because the dust settled and one guy has a karn in play and his opponent has 3 moxen and nothing else.

I have grown tired of it.  It's way beyond what the appropriate power level is and I'd like it gone from Modern as well.

Tibalt posted:Wouldn't "As an additional cost to cast this spell, choose a creature you control" achieve the same effect anyway? I guess choosing doesn't count as a cost but... No, that wouldn't allow for removing the caster's only creature in response, since nothing is faster than paying a cost.

 I could be insane but I think this card is going to make a splash somewhere. Yeah, BTE at home but this one can get you to 5 mana on T3 like regularly as a common.

We had this with colorless instead of red and it didn't make waves - it had additional upside with sometimes giving haste too  Servant also asks you to tap it, but if your goal is to ramp then that's not that big a deal

no i think the differences are pretty significant. colorless is much worse than red for one.

I feel like if you want a ritual you don't want to put it on a body and vice versa. BTE lets you have both which is why it gets to be played. I mean this is eternal, you need to be doing a lot to see play.

I feel like this is bragging about a powerful new Elvish Spirit Guide that is now a 3/2 It's not that important when the floor is a bit better if the ceiling is the same Edit: If there's a pauper storm deck that wants bad Manamorphose, it has a home
