Standard legal impulse is nice. I think this adds it to Modern for the first time too? I'm torn on Ertai. He's very similar to Venser Shaper Savant which was pretty good in standard 15 years ago, but the differences change a lot and the game is radically different too. Also Holy gently caress I'm old

That's cool they made a barely legally distinct Mobile Oppression Palace.  Also hilarious lore wise that the Mana Rig is one of the main culprits that caused Powerstone Radiation poisoning/Phthisis and they're still using it. Jiro fucked around with this message at 23:33 on Aug 25, 2022 |

the most important thing this set of cards tells us is that the average badger can beat the average bear in a fight

I think Urza Assembles is better than it looks - the floor is 'search the top four cards of your library for a Planeswalker' and the average result and ceiling are a lot higher than that. Read ahead gives it a lot of flexibility.

Elyv posted:Standard Legal: Okay, so, the thing about Urza assembling the "Nine Titans" to invade Phyrexia is that he was deliberately counting on one of them betraying and murdering some of the others. Because of some absolutely demented utilitarian logic, that was so Urza could morally justify executing a planeswalker (with a "kill rubric" he planted in everyone's giant mechs, which they all used despite being immortal godlike shapeshifters) and using his spark to fuel a bomb that would destroy Phyrexia. Except when he actually got to the core of Phyrexia, he decided it was so beautiful that he immediately switched sides and started murdering everyone else. With said "kill rubrics". So I'm not sure that "activate their loyalty abilities twice this turn" really captures what happened here, is what I'm saying.

These ones... not so much. fake edit: then again did anyone actually survive to tell anyone what happened there? This may be the bad historian version of events because all they saw was 9 planeswalkers charge into phyrexia and then the place stop existing or w/e

Urzas head came back to dominaria right? Maybe he spent a billion years saying he was just stoned on phyrexian oil and it was just a phase

Actually it would kind of be interesting if the people who made it back specifically hid that urza turned evil and talked him up as a hero.

Elyv posted:Standard Legal: Those Green legends are kinda cool, disappointing that they won't be in the main set. Mana Rig is weird but fits the overly complicated artifact that no one understands how to use properly theme of Thran stuff. The Shortest Path posted:lmao IIRC 3 or 4 of the 9 survive - Windgrace, Freyalise, the blue/red one and I think also the old guy? Don't know that any of them would have incentive to shelter Urza's rep but they probably also wouldn't care to malign it. Also I think Gerrard had to explain to Sisay and Tarngarth why he was carrying around Urza's detached head, so definitely a handful of people knew that he'd gone off the rails.

A saga is just a story. And on Dominaria they teach Urza's lost cause, and how at the time the nine titans was the only option and Tesh Svat's noble sacrifice...

Well, picked up my two cards for preorder from the set: the elf lord and the white enchantment boardwipe Pretty excited as I think the elf will be super good for modern elves (the deck is probably still not very good tho), and the enchantment boardwipe just slots right into enchantress
