I like zero mana interaction. I just wish it wasn’t tied to creatures. Spells have better balance. The fact that they are all playable is great.

Yeah I don't know that I love that choice specifically either but I do think the format is better for them existing, even if it'd be better another way maybe

sit on my Facebook posted:Those cards would still get printed. The lack of existence of Horizons sets did not and would not prevent them from printing cards that redefine the status-quo power level What makes you believe that pitch elementals ever would have made it through standard? As you already said: They all share the same expansion which means we know they didn't come from standard and there's no reason to believe they ever would have. And no, they're not good for the format. Labeling them as just "interaction" misses their bodies. Force of WIll doesn't attack me. You can't Ephemerate a Daze.

And I also really dig the small bit of tribal stuff in general. It’s popular for a reason, and even with what feels like absurd upgrades at times is really only maneuvering bad decks to be less bad. Feels more like legacy at times where you feel you can brew as long as you keep slots for fow/brainstorm.

sit on my Facebook posted:Scorching hot take alert; the Horizons sets have actually been a net benefit to both modern and rotating formats by allowing modern-powered cards into the format for curation without the need to balance for lower power, or consequently ruin those formats. Under a different rubric, all the same cards would still exist but they would have hosed up standard and pioneer, the only difference this way is that they all happen to have the same expansion symbol. That's cool and all but Ragavan and DRC and Murktide and W6 aren't interaction.

when did they describe what was going to be in dominaria remastered? I hope it's actually printed properly and not horribly underprinted like time spiral remastered.quote:36 Dominaria Remastered MTG Draft Boosters—the best boosters for drafting Dominaria Remastered cards pulled from 27 sets, apparently specifically dominaria-related, huh? interesting. edit: judging by the art on the collector box, seems Flametongue Kavu's back https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Gather...0B8453TN1&psc=1

They didn't, that's just WotC cutting out middlemen. Its going to go the same as Double Masters 2, if they're already pulling this poo poo. They didn't really underprint, they're just selling it direct 6 weeks before WPN stores can solicit orders. People jump on the early sales and WotC starts short stocking distributors To fulfill the orders made at full retail.

I remember when Modern was introduced, and it was "Whatever the best standard decks were, with slightly better cantrips." Then it became "Which turn 3 kill combo is more consistent". Blighted Shoal, Eggs, and Amulet Titan were extremely cool decks, although they tended to create boring games. Now it's "Block Constructed: Modern Horizons".

Tempest block is a weird one because Rath wasn’t a part of Dominaria, but then it merged or something, right? So does it count now, or no because it was a separate plane when it was printed?

Counterfeits are fine if you either mark them or they have non-standard backs. If you pass counterfeits off to anybody who doesn't know, you're an rear end in a top hat. There you go, next topic.

Basically no one disagrees with this (at least not in this thread) but the real telling thing is that whenever someone posts something along the lines of ilmucche posted:Not this counterfeit poo poo again someone has to come around knee jerking poo poo like TheKingofSprings posted:Monkey shouldn’t cost 80 dollars a pop and if you think otherwise you are welcome to gently caress off as if it’s some glorious revelation that the secondary market is absolute poo poo. (Yes, I am calling you out on this, King.) You’re an rear end in a top hat if you try to pass off fakes as the real thing. You’re also an rear end in a top hat if you try to act like counterfeiting is some defensible moral high ground. And the worst part of this thread is people going around masturbatory circles about this loving topic. If I were the IC, I’d probate anyone who brings it up at all because it never results in reasonable discussions. /rant

I’m perfectly fine with being an rear end in a top hat if it lets me play in Modern tournaments while I care to play in them. Once I’m done those monkeys will end up in a paper shredder but if they’re the gatekeeper to having an actual, functioning deck that’s just how it’ll be. I’m done with the current paradigm of formats being upended repeatedly biannually but still want to play the game I enjoy competitively. I think the recent rise in Pioneer is partly from how insane prices in Modern have gotten. If your deck is going to be invalidated it’s at least cheaper to buy in there for now.
