There really might be a pioneer merfolk deck that comes out at the end of this after all. At current its gimick is just weaker than all the other tribal stuff. If this explore stuff lines up it might be interesting.

I'm just skipping this season of RCQs because there didn't seem to be a deck i was confident on that wouldn't require me to either buy rings or a thousand dollars worth of modern horizons cards, but amulet titan seems like a decent choice if your brain is wired the right way for it. Not the best scam matchup but demolishes a lot of things people are doing to beat it

big scary monsters posted:Anyone have a favourite Standard player to watch? Ideally not too annoying in voice or personality, good understanding of the meta and plays well, and I'd prefer made-for-YouTube to someone constantly talking to Twitch chat. MTGO or MTGA are both fine. I realise I am asking a lot, but a lot of Magic content creators are incredibly grating. covertgoblue

I'm so sad Dowsing Device is force flipped into the cave instead of being optional. The manaless version of the ability is going to be better a decent amount of the time. It's a pretty fun combo with Threefold Thunderhulk. Play, +1/+0 and haste, make 4 tokens, get +4/+0, attack, make 8 tokens, flip, activate, 21 damage. Unfortunately you can only have a max of 1 other artifact.

AnEdgelord posted:so when I "explore" a land does this ability trigger before or after it is put into my hand? The ability essentially triggers exactly whenever you do the thing that triggers it, but it doesn't go on the stack, let alone resolve, until after the spell or ability that's currently in the middle of resolving is finished. (it might be weirder with stuff like finale of promise)

The intent is obviously to let you drop the land Explore gets you so even if that's not how it would work, they will make it that it does. Edit: But the rules already account for it: quote:701.40. Explore The card only "explored" once the effect is finished.

It would be really hard for them to write that ability in a way that made you put the land into play before you got a chance to put the newly-found land into your hand. Even if they wanted to do that, I think they'd need a really ugly replacement effect to make it work that way. Something hideous like "If you would put a land card into your hand as part of an explore action, instead put up to one land card from your hand onto the battlefield tapped, then put that land card into your hand."

 More 2 mana ramp.  Garbage 2 mana 8/8 but it is a 2 mana enabler for Fight Rigging, and we're getting another 3 mana enabler this set too.  Elf that only does Dinos seems probably a little too limited to be good, but it is a reason to play a full on dino tribal deck.  I don't think the tier 1 decks play much this hits.  Probably too much life lost, and it doesn't really dig as well as I thought it might on first glance. I'm not sure a 4 mana 4/4 etb draw would see play, and I think this is probably worse than that.

Tom Clancy is Dead posted:
It gives Scam a good answer to some poor matchups (Scales and Hammer), but Terminate is occupying that slot and it being instant is obviously a big deal. I think people will definitely try this out in Modern. It's less relevant in Pioneer, a little harder to turn on and the second mode doesn't hit much. Witch's Oven, Portable Hole and Chained to the Rocks? Some people run Dreadbore in RB mid but instant speed interaction is important in a format with Greasefang. idk about Standard, would be cool to see RB Anvil become relevant again given enough juice in this set since it does the Descend thing well.

molten collapse is a big deal for explorer since dreadbore and terminate are not legal in that format. or I guess I should say, it will make the biggest splash in that format since every other format has better or more relevant answers

So are you always Descending when you self mill or anything goes to the graveyard? Obviously it only matters if cards that care about that keyword are in play, just wondering if it's an invisible thing you're technically always doing or if the inclusion of a descend card creates it as a thing that can be tracked, like when you play a day/night card.

I think technically, but I can't remember if there's been any cards that cared about how many cards you descended this turn. Just if you have or not at EoT. Kind of like City's Blessing. Edit: though I think, with tokens going to the graveyard. Tokens dying will count as if you Descended but not for Descend. Macdeo Lurjtux fucked around with this message at 20:07 on Oct 30, 2023 |
