Dehtraen posted:Aether Revolt masterpieces are up http://magic.wizards.com/en/AERMasterpieces Well, I want like two of those anyway. And that's just because they haven't made those 2 Swords into judge promos. These are much less cool than the first group. The rest of these I just want to keep the original art for my cube. The new art is pretty meh. Maybe the Wurmcoil; I'd have to see it. Dehtraen posted:The list is great actually, every single card other than maybe duplicant, staff of domination, black vise, and meekstone I've seen played in legacy or modern recently. Staff is in MUD which has been displaced by Eldrazi, Meekstone is a moderately common sideboard card, and Duplicant is in vintage MUD. Black Vise is the only real dud, and they probably put that in right after they unbanned it. suicidesteve fucked around with this message at 19:38 on Dec 24, 2016 |

They aren't as cool but so many of those are actually played in legacy / modern... I'd rather see worthwhile reprints than garbage standard only rares80s James Hetfield posted:Zzzzzzzzzzzz Hey, what formats do you play and what decks?

Ornithopter as a foil Mythic is utterly hilarious.

The schematics underneath Pithing Needle show how to insert the plug into Eva Unit 01. An Easter egg for the anime set we have been longing for?

Lol at Ornithopter. I would say it's the booby prize but it's way more playable and tradeable than Champion's Helm. I'm sad there's no Mindslaver but the list looks real good. Of note is that 3 of them are missing, presumably because they are cards from Aether Revolt.

 I can't believe WotC is making me open these random $40 cards instead of a random worthless common. IDIOTS! No wonder they're going bankrupt!

I'm guessing they're not doing another mythic artifact cycle for this one, then, since otherwise they'd save 5 slots. Seems like a pretty good lineup at any rate, nothing really jumps out at me as "who would play this ever in any format".

It hits their philosophy of providing rare reprints no one asked for, a la Dragonmaster Outcast and Felidar Sovereign.

Weren't some of these supposed to be cards from Aether Revolt? Or was that only the Gearhulks from Kaladesh? Also, Ornithoper has nice art now shut up. Edit: Also Sundering Titan looks like an Evangelion. Count Bleck fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Dec 24, 2016 |

The Expedition/Masterpiece non-sense is cool and I'm glad they are doing that but gently caress, could the at least try not to make the cards look butt loving ugly. What a downer it must be to open a cool, playable, special rare and have it be in that ugly rear end card frame.

Just going to put it out there that these masterpieces in small way might confirm that none of the expensive masterpiece cards are ever seeing reprints in masters sets. I assume ensnaring bridge is just going to go up.

Voyager I posted:It's one of the most iconic artifacts in the history of the game and also sees heavy play in a popular deck. It's totally worthy of a Masterpiece. Agreed. Ornithopter is awesome. I'd much rather they do a heavily-played common than some forgotten $2 mythic. Almost all of these cards see play in some format; I think they've done a good job.
