HootTheOwl posted:I am not. Explorer came about because they passed on it. It was mentioned in 2020. Explorer is not pioneer, a product to get arena up to pioneer complete has literally nothing to do with printing cards directly into pioneer, or modern horizons 2, and explorer as a format was released nearly a full calendar year after MH2 came out. So yes, you are extremely just making things up

I still play from time to time with the Heezy Street and Ghost Dad gold bordered decks I got from PT Honolulu. They work well as a pair, and even better if you find someone willing to play with the old damage on the stack rules.

Is Knight Captain of Eos seeing play in something? A guy wants to trade for mine and like... the prices are all over the place. It looks like it was dirt cheap on TCG as recently as yesterday but can't be had for less than 10 bucks in foil today, and Cardkingdom is sold out entirely.

I remember getting Ben Rubin's WC deck and being confused as to why Ball Lightning was good when it only had one toughness. Ah, simpler days.

One of these days I'm gonna correctly put the format in my posts.Nehru the Damaja posted:Funny storry, *I* meant Knight Errant of Eos. That's the one I have. Yeah, literally over the weekend there was a Pioneer Challenge that had a breakout performance of a RW Convoke deck. You play a bunch of shitters that are either artifacts or make artifacts, turn them into dudes with the new Kuldrotha Rebirth and then Convoke out Knight-Errants or Loxodons. It matches up really well against a lot of the best decks (I haven't played it or against it, but apparently it absolutely stomps MonoG), but I suspect once people start packing good sweepers in their boards it won't be a major problem. fadam fucked around with this message at 18:32 on May 25, 2023 |

What happens if you abstain from a vote, like Galadriel's thing. Do you lose the game or do they just tally the votes that do get made?

It's part of the resolution of an ability, so the players can't really decline to do it. Just like you couldn't decline to choose which creature to sacrifice if I edict you. 701.32. Vote 701.32a Some spells and abilities instruct players to vote for one choice from a list of options to determine some aspect of the effect of that spell or ability. To vote, each player, starting with a specified player and proceeding in turn order, chooses one of those choices. 701.32b The listed choices may be objects, words with no rules meaning that are each connected to a different effect, or other variables relevant to the resolution of the spell or ability. 701.32c If the text of a spell or ability refers to “voting,” it refers only to an actual vote, not to any spell or ability that involves the players making choices or decisions without using the word “vote.” 701.32d If an effect gives a player multiple votes, those votes all happen at the same time the player would otherwise have voted.

"Votes" is a weird way to phrase the mechanic as well. It's not like we tally them up and figure out which one wins. Each "voter" is getting the result they asked for regardless of the majority opinion.

It's not that weird, there are already lots of cards that function that exact same way where players "Vote" for a stacking outcome. Look at Tivit from a recent set for example.

I saw that it had also taken a surprising jump in price the last few days and wasn't sure why It's probably the biggest reason for Gobakhan's jump, but I've seen quite a few various White decks pick up a copy or two as well in general.

I’ve noticed that about half the time I disagree with what my opponents take from my hand with hand disruption. Of course, what’s in their hand can inform their choice, but often it just seems wrong regardless of that. What I’m getting at is that optimal discard decisions are hard.

I played a three person game this weekend with my Elenda deck and the opponent with Sen Triplets kept targeting the third person, a Grist player, with his commander's effect even after I had managed to stick a Cathars Crusade into getting seven 8/8 lifelink vampires twice in a row and rocketing my life total into the triple digits so frankly I think threat assessment in general is something more people need to work on

goddamn, the prof has a trend of crazy successful kickstarter projects. the shuffle up and play season 2 KS is already far beyond its final stretch goal, which was "no ads in the video whatsoever". I wonder what they'll do with the extra funding, maybe try and record more episodes? I hope so, SUAP is fantastic.

There's a guy in my local magic scene with a Vintage-ish artifact cube. He doesn't have power directly in the cube, but he printed a copy of Arena only card Oracle of the Alpha and a couple sets of the P9 for that. I think it's neat.

Captain Invictus posted:that rules, I would love a paper copy of oracle of the alpha, it's one of my favorite mtg card designs ever. I don't think it'd be impossible to implement in paper, the only problem is, well, what the conjured cards are. It’s probably fine in a cube but I think WotC won’t ever print stuff that shuffles real cards into your library. I like the design space they did with that five colour guy in MH2 who can make Black Lotus tokens, but it’s a bummer they didn’t make tokens for all those cards. Also he should have had haste so he’s playable with Food Chain.
