the only way "no trading" ends up as a positive is if they design the game with that in mind and make stuff attainable and cheap. there's a very real possibility that "no trading" exists because they don't want people making multiple accounts to farm stuff with no actual compensation for the inability to get cards other ways

anglachel posted:Modern Elves doesnt seem like a deck that would want this card. The only 3 mana and higher plays that elves plays is Ezuri, ArchDruid, CoCo, and Chord, and all of those have a bigger impact and do more the turn they are played than this card. The fact that it doesnt come online till your end step is a big deal. Earliest you can get it down in Elves is turn 2, and it still wont flip that turn. I know this is Christmas hand but on the draw you can flip it turn 2 and Coco opponents eot.

I'd have to assume there is some type of crafting in the game. Otherwise, people won't buy packs after they've opened a certain number because the duplicates will be useless. I doubt you'll be able to pick the card you craft into, but there has to be some way to make sure you don't end up with useless cards.

Also that Carnage Tyrant card sucks and is going to be terrible to play against for the next two years (or however long).

Mezzanon posted:And the reason the legacy version plays Craterhoof is because they have access to Gaea's Cradle. You mean Natural Order and GSZ. Also Cradle is a reliable turn 2 play in a deck that wants to win on turn 3. This is an extremely unreliable turn 3 play in a deck that wants to win on turn 3.

As someone who could care less about constructed or maintaining a parallel collection to paper or dealing with bots I am looking hell of forward to cheap easy endless drafts. They might even have elo so you play against good opponents!

It's definitely nice in commander though.

If they make this a decent drafting program, I'll probably pick it up. (And my wet-dream scenario is they program just enough legacy cards to make some decent cubing. That would seal it for me.)

I try to go against the grain during spoiler season with "this could have potential" instead of "HOT TRASH NOT LIGHTBUNG BOLT" I hope there's a constructed deck that favorable winds is good in. Also I think that 1 mana siren that counters is great! Thank you for reading my bad opinions. Edit: chart a course is a good card that will see play probably Mezzanon fucked around with this message at 00:52 on Sep 8, 2017 |

Why is that card any better than someone like Sphinx of the Final Word that was never played in standard?

Sphinx was in that bad cycling combo deck as a way to win through a counter. But otherwise I agree that in decks that can cast both, you want the sphinx.

don't know what Carnage Tyrant will do in constructed but it's going to be a cube superstar for sure.

Commune with Dinosaurs is a funny as gently caress name. Chart a Course seems good in a UR or UW tempo deck.

Commune and the Huntmaster are okay. Chart a Course looks actually good. Even Draw two then Discard is better than Tormenting Voice.
