Khanstant posted:The creatures that turn into a land that can transform back into that creature are neat, but there's so much exile removal in standard. Maybe in draft though they'll be scarier. Most of the ones I can think of specify non-land permanents or are auras so they'd fall off when it stops being a creature, right?

It's funny how close the bat God gets to being Baneslayer Angel, while also very clearly being not at an acceptable power level for standard playability. Frankly it's probably much better than BSA. On paper it doesn't die to Doom Blade and also actually generates card advantage.

I suppose you could kill it first in response to a prison card and dodge it. Come to think of it, does that work with any transforming card even if the transform wasn't a land?

Some transformations are "Exile and return transformed" though.

Doom Blade was last printed in a standard-legal set in M14, which, as indicated by the 14, was printed in 2013.

uggy posted:there are other 2 mana black kill spells that aren't doom blade "doesn't die to doom blade" is a boomer colloquialism for "gives you something on ETB." the implication is that it doesn't have to untap to generate value for you, like baneslayer angel would have to, so the opponent spending a card to kill it means you're up in the exchange in terms of card advantage bat god actually not dying to doom blade was just an unintentional funny coincidence

Yeah it just means "is resistant to removal." The god giving a land that can turn back into the god on death makes it a lot more resilient than BSA. Though frankly the last time something like this really saw much play in standard at 5 cmc is Blood Baron, which was mostly just a sideboard card and only brought in when your opponent had no good removal for pro black pro white. Bat god is still slowed down a ton by removal spells and vulnerable to exile, so it probably wouldn't be useful even in that era when Blood Baron was played. We've also power crept a lot since then.

i don't know if it's the size, or an issue with the symbol for the set but everytime a new card pops up i have to look to see if its an common, uncommon, or rare. Rare is kinda more visible but uncommon/common are basically just the same black smudges to me.

Some are, hence one of the vampires being *something* of the Schism. Vito is one of the Aclazotz worshippers, who are probably led by Arguel since Arguel's Blood Fast transforms into Temple of Aclazotz

The images are really hard to tell my the symbol color alone. They all share too much of the same shades.

I've been slowly going through attic boxes from way back. When my team dissolved I inherited all the cards, added to the collection, and eventually sold off most of the primo stuff. At the time I thought I was done with Magic. Would be cool to have playsets of Grim Monolith, Gaea's Cradle, Mox Diamond, among many other cards but the past is the past. I've been mostly going through piles for fun and the nostalgia hit, but I would be lying if I wasn't secretly hoping for a surprise money card that either slipped through our money binder or just wasn't worth poo poo back when I sold out. For some reason I can't find a single loving Rhystic Study which boggles my mind. Anyway... Tonight I was sat on the couch casually going through piles (literally, this one is a cardboard box full of loose cards) when I hit this one:  A few minutes later found a Top, Sylvan Library, and a Strip Mine.  Also these deckbox booklets:  Didn't happen tonight but I dug out a beta Unsummon a few weeks ago when I first started sorting:  I have a mini heart attack every time I see the Legends set icon on a card. So far nothing crazy. TONS of random Ice Age stuff and Compared to top end Magic collectables it's not much, but the alt art Ertai is $$$ and not seen often and the booklets are a fun nostalgia trip, so I figured I would share.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:that MOM backup baneslayer angel didn't see play did it This does kind of hurt, I got into magic during the era of baneslayers and cawblades so the swords and BSA have a special place in my heart. I keep trying to make the new swords work but the 5 mana investment+existing creature before they generate any value is just far too slow for modern standard.

I wish I'd gotten into singleton formats before trading away some of the better one-off cards I had. Playset of City of Traitors that was just taking up space in a binder for 15 years ended up getting me a whole bunch of newer cards though.

We found a foil 7th edition Shivan Dragon in an old high school era binder. Miraculously in flawless condition even though it was in a 3-ring binder and spent 15+ years in an uninsulated backyard shed. It paid for plane tickets.
