Khanstant posted:Oh first I'm hearing of this SL deck. I don't know enough of Angels to get a read on this decklists. Angels were a back burner commander theme to me to try "eventually." How does this deck compare to a typical good angel commander deck? It's a generally weak list that still has a good number of generally strong cards in it. It invests into a lifegain payoff package with very few ways to actually gain life, has a reanimator package without any mill, needs to swing to win but can't protect it's board, and doesn't do much overall until turn 5+. Even more damning, it's low on interaction and draw. That said, the average card quality is pretty high for a precon so it should steal games eventually just from being goodstuff value. I wouldn't recommend playing it out of the box for very long but to it's credit there are about three different ways to push the deck and they'd all work well without needing to break the bank. Outside of how it plays, there's enough pricey big hitters inside that if you're looking to build an angel or angel-adjacent deck it's worth picking up just for the reprint value. There really aren't many misses for generically playable cards other than Invoke the Divine (which is thematic and all but a laughably terrible card). I think the secondary market price to purchase as singles would be $250-300.

snyprmag posted:But a creature can still only activate loyalty abilities once per turn, right? I have a deck that combo fuses multiple planeswalkers onto one creature but you can still only use one even if you have multiple walkers "fused" because it's tied to the permanent in a way no other card type in magic works

I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about but loyalty abilities are once per permanent no matter what type that permanent is; it has nothing to do with whatever shenanigans you're doing to grant said permanent loyalty abilities from different sources.

Scalding viper is kind of neat. Intangible virtue reprint makes me want them to print a new token producer. Sadly I think anything that's good as a token producer in be tokens is better off in other decks

Things are 'cards' when they're when they're not on the battlefield or the stack, that's all. Also hot drat, that phyrexian unlife.

 I know there's a long lead time in set development and stuff, but it's pretty funny to see a straight upgrade to the currently dominant deck in modern. I guess technically you can remove the enchantment from the returned creature to make it smaller so there's a small risk, but it's hilarious that it pings you for 1 damage if you do

It exiles the saga, it comes back in, copy the non-token cat repeat until you have X 1/4 cats. It'd be a t5 combo though unless you had a treasure token or something on t3 for the cat.

For the first time in many years I bought some cards yesterday, a fat pack of LOTR. I didn't pull anything good but I found Reduce/Reuse from Amonkhet in a pack. Is that normal? Seems out of place. Do cards from random sets just show up in boosters now?

The List got added when they made the split between Draft and Set Boosters back in Zendikar Rising. Each pack has a 25% chance of having a random reprint from the List instead of the marketing card, which can include reflavored reprints of Universe Beyond cards but is usually just an old card they wanted to print more of.
