Got my first 7 win draft on arena and 3-0’d my first paper draft. Play like your starting life total is 10 and every color has access to lava spike. Draft two drops heavily, HEAVILY That 5 mana 4/3 flyer that loots on etb would be good in almost any other limited format but is a trap in this one. 3-drop rare creatures are better than almost any planeswalker (also that 3 mana artifact that makes a ball lightning every turn is incredible)

Weird Pumpkin posted:That sounds absolutely nuts in limited It takes a few turns to ramp up, it makes a 1/1, then a 2/1, then a 3/1 etc. But yeah it's gross. I don't think killing someone on turn 4 is a realistic goal in limited. You can only get so many of those 3/1 toxic 2 guys Iike, it's definitely possible and I have done it, but I don't think you can do it on purpose even the majority of the time

Artifact destruction in general seems way better than you’d expect. Also, the spells that do 1 damage to all opponents creatures are nuts because there are a shitload of 1 toughness creatures and mites floating around

Is that the one that also makes it so they can’t block? Because that also just ends the game on the spot almost 100% of the time

You know who I feel bad for? Ezuri, goes from douchey rebel leader, gets merc'd offscreen and transformed into the predator and now he's back but instead of being fearsome he's just some surfer dude inviting you to just chill.

 IT IS PAGE 666 IT IS TIME TO WORSHIP DEMON  2022 was a good year for worshiping demons, as the Warhammer 40k Chaos Undivided precon introduced 17 new demons, three of which are legendary!  SNC was also great for those who want to shout at the devil, with a cycle of mythic rare shard demons! Including the odd sight of a Bant demon!  We also had a demon that had its nipples removed because even if we sacrifice humans to demons for power, the children will be scarred if they see demon titty!  And a demon equipment?! Sure!  And we have digital-only demons, proving that Satan is on the internet!  All in all, evil has won and God is conquered!

Prerelease tonight. Went 3-1 with GW toxic weenies and got second place. My deck was a glass cannon, and I almost never had blockers on board but pumped out enough mites to get poison wins. Turn 1 Skrelv happened more times than is probable. Norn’s Wellspring is great even though I only saw it in one game. I almost didn’t run Infested Fleshcutter but it ended up being way better than I thought it would be. Sealed seems like a pretty fun format. Just got to be sure to go with whatever colours can get either threats or blockers down early.

I haven't made a demon commander, seems like a ton of fun options. Pactweaver is fun flavour, making a deal for a reality chip effect.

I played my first session with the club that just started up, had a lot of fun. We played casual traditional (for lack of a better word) format, no limitations on sets or anything, no commanders. My cards didn't get here in time so I played with one of the decks of the guy that started the group. He has been playing since 4th edition, quit for a while, started playing with his wife and decided to try to get a group going. I'm definitely going back. E: Rules question because I'm not sure how to search it, about the phantom cards from Judgement way back when. They're 0 toughness but come into play with +1/+1 counters on them. When they take damage, you prevent that damage, and remove a +1/+1 counter from them. What happens if they have an enchantment on them that gives them extra toughness without a token, and they're at 0 tokens and take damage? You can't remove a token, but it doesn't say "if they have a token, prevent damage," it just says "prevent that damage." Gatherer example for context. https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=35073 22 Eargesplitten fucked around with this message at 06:15 on Feb 10, 2023 |

You would not be able to kill it from damage, no. Compare it to something like https://scryfall.com/card/eld/98/oathsworn-knight where a counter has to be removed to prevent the damage.

Top 3 demons I would sacrifice to: A chonky boy. An Absolute unit. Hits like a Truck, can fly. --  Emotional demon that destroys any creature (or land), but they had to add Protection from black, so he can't kill himself. Get better emo-demon. --  Now the opponent can sacrifice too. This is a generous Demon.

TheLawinator posted:The damage just gets prevented. It was a fun combo I would do in pauper years ago. Okay, that's how my cousin and I played it a couple decades ago, I was wondering if that's how it is actually supposed to be because it gets really funny if the opponent doesn't have trample or kill spells. If I start consistently going I'm thinking about making a Green/White Phantom deck like he had, seems like most of the relevant cards have been reissued so they are like 20-40 cents rather than the 10-15 dollars that the original versions of things like Mirari's Wake and Armadillo Cloak are now.
