This is terrible in Commander because it's going to get blown up at the most inopportune time, or be a casualty in a mass removal spell and give your opponent back all their artifacts. I'd rather play Return to Dust and permanently exile one or two of their most important artifacts than exile all their little mana rocks and give them a chance to get everything back along with all the ETB triggers.

It would be useful if it was target player since you could exile your own stuff in preparation for a nuke. But that's about it.

MiddleEastBeast posted:What's the translation error? "Adversaire" is singular, so grammatically indicates that it's referring to a single opponent. But there's no wording in there about choosing or targeting the opponent to affect. The most likely scenario is that it should be "adversaires" (and affects all your opponents). Alternatively, there could be some words missing entirely.

The trouble with Dark Ritual is that fast mana of that kind was long ago shifted into Red (and then nerfed beyond the point of usefulness). With both the current color pie and power level against it, there's no way Dark Ritual ever shows up in Standard or Modern legal sets.

Entropic posted:We all know the quintessential black one-drop is Thoughtseize, and everyone complained about it the whole time it was back in Standard. I honestly wonder if this is because thoughtseize is too strong for standard (I don't think this is true) or the more likely explanation that there were only two major reprints (mutavault) and both ended up in mono-b, the most dominant deck for a while. Even giving every color a thoughtseize level card probably wouldn't have worked, because having one of the cards ACTUALLY be thoughtseize means that you just grab their card  I think the big problem is that you either need a steady stream of reprints, which mandates a higher power level, or none at all, which cannot be a realistic pitch to investors or players

Jabor posted:"Adversaire" is singular, so grammatically indicates that it's referring to a single opponent. But there's no wording in there about choosing or targeting the opponent to affect. I thought maybe it could be "each opponent", but apparently that's "chaque adversaire", and "target opponent" is "adversaire ciblé". So it doesn't fit either, nor does it fit "vos adversaires" for "your opponents". I found five cards that use the "your opponent" wording, two of which are silver-bordered and the other three have very unique wording referring to an already-chosen opponent. So it really does seem like it's a legit error.

You can crew at the "beginning of combat" step and still attack, just as long as you do it before you move to the "declare attackers" step.

So Vintage Cube is up, except it's not cube at all. The packs come in randomly, so you can get any number of copies of cards ... and then of course you can face whatever cuz it's league. Kind of up-ends all of what you know when drafting Cube, so whatever.

Cube story! I drafted a good blue shell with good card draw and mana fixing, then swerved hard into mono-red after wheeling all the red cards I saw and even getting last pick Fireblast. Ended up with a sweet deck with double Eidolon and double Fireblast. During my first game, I won the die roll and went 1 drop, Eidolon, pass on turn 3 with Searing Spear up. My opponent's plays were Swamp, Swamp, Scroll Rack (take 2), turn 3 main phase use Scroll Rack and restart the game somehow. My opponent then won the die roll. MTGO! I still won that match and went 2-1, losing to mono-red in the finals. Good times.
