TheLawinator posted:Cloud of Faeries also helps it surge. It's okay as a spire golem wannabe if you're not playing all islands I guess. Maybe in like UWx or UBx In a world where you're just playing islands and bolt exists in the format I don't think it's better than Spire Golem though.

Yeah Inflitrator is just weird, but hey 2 mana for 2 power, that's cool Devoid Dissipate is meh but Dissipate was played back in Innistrad so who knows it may be played again, tho I think Scatter has better value usually

That's super weird. I guess you can flash it in, block, and try to return it to your hand before combat damage.

Dimensional Infiltrator does some work as a Processor enabler, and can be a way to get a cheap spell in your hand for Surge if necessary. Plus two flash flying power for two. It's not the worst rare.

Yeah I misread it as a cast trigger. Seems OK, flash fliers are decent and it has some chance to protect itself. Kinda hope there's a surge deck in standard

Processing was Ulamog's deal cause he like to eat . True colorless seems to be Kozilek's schtick as the mind Eldrazi.

It's not the worst rare. Vaporkin with Flash would be a reasonably high pick in most draft sets and it's significantly better than that.

Yeah I'm definitely going to be trying out the new bushwacker. I think cards with dash should help you to keep spells later than you normally would in an aggro deck.

While Pauper has a few wonky things in it, there's way less ways to combo stuff to abuse with it. Gush has legitimate downsides to it, sort of. Meanwhile Gush in Legacy would probably involve in a ton of different unstoppable winning combos.

There's probably a goblin deck in the making now. Bushwacker Wannabe, Piledriver, and now this. There's also two goblin token spells in right now as well. And Zada if you're feeling gimmicky. And Atarka's Command for going wide.

MTGO Modern Flashbacks, Week 1 - Eighth Edition This was a total garbage format that plays a lot like you'd imagine pretty much any early coreset format to play. Most of the creatures are vanilla and bad and a lot of them have random bullshit like Landwalk making creature combat both non-interactive yet painfully slow since everything is a grizzly bear. Even the rares you'd open were terrible horseshit which would rarely do much to win the game. The games I did play were, as I said, Bear on Bear combat. The only real saving grace for the format as a whole was the fact that you could pull Blood Moon or Ensnaring Bridge. Ninth Edition in a few weeks is another core set that wasn't designed for limited play, yet it doesn't even have Ensnaring Bridge or Choke (which is a good 3 tix on MTGO) This week, Jan. 6 - Jan. 13: Mirrodin-Mirrodin-Mirrodin Valuable cards: Oblivion Stone (35 tix), Chalice of the Void (10 tix) and Glimmervoid (10 tix) are all worth a decent amount. There's actually a few commons worth a decent amount

Lots of people were waiting to see how Oath would complete the mechanic so knowing BFZ was all it got makes it feel super incomplete.
