meanolmrcloud posted:Can anyone tell me a good reason for seth to attack with two creatures there? cast out? lmao what a punt It was horrendous, because that line loses to double Cast Down + other removal spell on the following turn. Attacking with two creatures or three creatures both lose to Vraska's Contempt, so it was just a mistake.

WotC does not do a good job hyping their team series, at all, and I think that might be intentional. I suspect they saw a bunch of teams on other esports broadcasts, were told to come up with an official team system, and then they got told "hold up, you're giving free advertisment to these teams' sponsors, stop covering them as much."

I would have thought it was because they didn't want to be hyping up teams the whole tournament, and then in a crucial Round 16 match win-and-in for some player, his opponent scoops to let his teammate into the Top 8, cheating the non-team guy out of the Top 8 opportunity. It'll eventually happen.

The Shortest Path posted:Red getting two aggro guilds in the next set to go with Chainwhirler and friends is mildly terrifying, to be honest. I remember the likes of Heezy street, but was Rakdos ever good? I know R/B has periodically been strong (including recently), but I'm struggling to remember a strong RB deck during a standard with Ravnica cards.

Jund also leaned plenty hard on rakdos cards. Dreadbore, Rakdos's return and the occasional ill-advised Slaughter games in the board. I also know sire of insanity saw limited play as well.

Dragon's Maze Jund was filled with insane haymakers at every mana cost. Here are 8-2 mana removal spells for everything, ramp for perfect mana, 2 stupid X-kill your poo poo spells, and oh yeah, everyone has to play off the top of their deck once you get to 6 mana.

The team series doesn't really make sense for MTG. It's like they looked at League, OW, CS, and Dota and thought they should just copy the team aspect.

The reason you're not seeing a team series push is the season just reset. There are no front runners or storylines yet to pay attention to.

To expand a bit more, unless it's changed in some way, the rule of thumb is that a copy effect gives you the base card (or token I suppose), disregarding any changes that have been applied to it. The classic example is that copying an animated manland with a Clone, or a Vesuva for that matter, gives you a non-creature version of the land (which you can of course then activate to animate it as usual). So it's not just that it doesn't copy the flood counter, although it's true that it doesn't, but more that it doesn't copy the Island that Glimmerpost currently is, it just copies Glimmerpost.

Just to make sure - I have a tauren mauler in play with a bunch of +1/+1 counters on it. My opponent plays phyrexian metamorph (or clone or w/e) and copies it. It's just a 2/2? (or what ever the base stats are?)

Drewjitsu posted:Just to make sure - I have a tauren mauler in play with a bunch of +1/+1 counters on it. Yup. And to provide another example, if your Taurean Mauler had a Deep Freeze on it, the clone effect would still give your opponent a 2/2 in accordance with the base card, rather than saying "oh, this particular Taurean Mauler is an 0/4 right now, I'mma come into play as an 0/4." edit: WoW race is not actually an MTG card JerryLee fucked around with this message at 08:20 on Nov 10, 2018 |

Clones only copy what is written on the card they're copying. Any changes made to that card after the fact, like enchantments, counters, modifications to power, toughness, and/or abilities, and Riding the Dilu Horse are not copied. I'll be honest and admit I'm not entirely sure what happens if you Clone something like a Lazav that has become a copy of another creature. I THINK it copies the creature Lazav copied but keeps the Lazav name but I'm not 100% on that. This can lead to situations that don't always work out how you want. For example, cloning a Walking Ballista or Hangarback Walker will give you a 0/0 because you didn't pay the X cost, even though you did pay some amount of mana for your clone. One I've actually had come up in vintage is if you Duplicant a Hangarback Walker with X counters, the Duplicant becomes a 0/0 and dies for the same reason. Also kinda related and definitely silly: if you Duplicant a Darksteel Juggernaut, your Duplicant will get bigger and smaller as the Juggernaut's controller plays or loses artifacts.

Any Aussies got any good insight as to what I can expect to sell a collection for, as a % of TCG mid value? Also, good buyers I should get in touch with?

I think they must have changed the draft algorithms because I haven't been able to force draft Dimir or Boros. Can I also say Selesnya mirror matches are the worst? Especially when all 5 of your removals are in the bottom 10 cards of the deck?

Don't know if people in this thread care, but Valve just released some info about Artifact's economy and it's set up exactly like MTGO with event tickets, tournaments, and a lack of ladder. At least they are going to allow users to run their own tournaments.

Remember FFG's deck building game where instead of building decks you just got one procedural RNGed that you are never, ever allowed to modify even slightly? They're pre-preemptively taking away even the fun of lucking into a procedurally generated deck name (printed on the card backs) that's a little racy, by pre-emptively banning them when they make it to print and making you return them: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2018/11/9/archon-names/ lol Owlbear Camus fucked around with this message at 16:09 on Nov 10, 2018 |

Hahaha just tuned in for 5 minutes to the feature match and saw a ridiculously dumb angle shoot by the guy mentioned earlier, Dezani. e: he loaded up his only creature, parthelion patrol with gird for battle and candlelight vigil and then when his opponent cast statue on it tried to remove the enchantment instead of bin it.
