Braids is a free sac outlet which is always something people underrate.

In standard yes. In modern/edh for 3 mana or less there are other options if we say braids once per turn is equivalent to tapping but where Braids does have an advantage is that she is a universal sacker. I would have preferred that she didn't give the opponents a choice but she would probably need to have a more restrictive cost. Probably still not playable in standard.

He might be, but they took him for something.

E: I also don't know how a walker gets captured when they can just planeswalk away. Or how they can be crippled since their immunity to completion is that they control their bodies. What I'm saying is a broken karn should just be able to reassemble himself.

I don't think Planeswalkers can shapeshift at will anymore? Some can do illusions, and some of them like Tibalt can do doppelganger type stuff for a short time if that's their "thing" but part of the reason they're vulnerable to compleation now is that their physical forms are somewhat immutable.

Doesn't explain why Karn couldn't just Planeswalk away at the end there, aside from being distracted by "pain".

Can't speak to EDH but it's WAY below the bar for Modern.

That's some crazy rear end synergy with Osgir.

Also if anyone is looking to get a Set Booster box of Amazon you may want to do it quick, earlier this morning boxes were like 15% off with a delivery window of Sept 13-15th now boxes are hovering around $158 US.

Edit: Now down to $156, Draft boxes going for $127, and Dominaria Jumpstart, y'know that Jumpstart set that's going to have cards printed ONLY for that set crept up to $100 a box. Collector Booster Boxes are sitting currently around $285 if you want to go and get yourself a Zephyr Falcon from Legends. :v:

At first I was super excited about Braids for sacking treasures and just draining opponents for a shitload of life with like a Prosper deck, but it had the qualifier of "an" meaning it's only one. :smith:

You're not wrong, but I tend to only order direct from Amazon and not a third party store and *knock on wood* I've been able to avoid any sort of fuckery with my MTG based orders so far. Hopefully it keeps up.

Eh, I think it's way more interesting if magic use has physical costs and isn't something you can just whip out any old time. If characters can do wild, gigantic magic at every turn, you end up scoffing at every difficulty they encounter because "well why couldn't they just magic it away?"

if the opponent doesnt have a permanent type that you sacced, do you automatically get the draw and life loss?

I assume you could pay 1 to attach it to a creature via equip but to unattach and become a creature again would require the reconfigure cost

You can.
Attach it at least. You'll still have to pay the configure cost if you want to just unattach it.
Theres some rules magic that lets reconfigure creatures know they're trying to be equipped/attached the normal way and they'll sotp being creatures.

They really aren't at all. All this does for prototype is reduce the crew by 1 and you still have to pay 7 to cast colossus. None of that stuff is good enough for constructed.

Okay my imagination is bad. I guess he’s a sac outlet, but isn’t having a 3/3 and a creature basically just better than having a creature like, all the time?
