Meld seems interesting, as long as one piece of every Meld is common. It's also possible that not every Meld will reference a specific card, you might just need a human or an artifact or something. Hanweir, the Writhing Township is presumably a Meld card. Maybe the front side is like "at the beginning of combat, if you have this + 3 Humans, exile them and Meld them into Hanweir, the Writhing Township." Hopefully only one of the cards required to Meld is actually a double-faced card. As cool as it would be to have a two-part card it sounds really annoying for draft. You just will never get the 2nd piece of what you need because someone else will see that you need it and take it. I could see them doing interesting things with Meld. Maybe one or both parts need to be in your graveyard. Maybe You need to pay mana to Meld. Though maybe it is more straightforward and is just "if you control these 2 things, meld them" and both are DFCs. Lets Pickle fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Jun 26, 2016 |

Meld is absurd and I love it, even tho I have no clue what it's doing. Like if you have both Halves they flip into the same creature?

Yeah, presumably they each have half of the resulting card on the back like we saw with the misprinted Endbringer. Seems odd from a gameplay perspective but it's really cool so I think I'll give it a pass.

Could be both. Could be some melds require two cards and flip into a two-part card, others require "this creature plus three clues" and the melded form fits on one card. We'll find out tomorrow.

If they actually pull this off, I'm going to be loving impressed. Though I have to wonder if Bruna and Gisela won't be on one card, and fuse with something else, because otherwise that will literally never happen in Limited.

Sickening posted:Grats on having some cards that went up in value. I am sure you had more of those than the ones that went down in value. What cards have actually dropped in value? The only notable cards are stuff that got banned (and even the cards that have been banned in Modern held way more value that I'd have expected because lol price memory), or stuff that was actually reprinted in a reasonable amount like Misdirection or Stifle since Conspiracy was one of the few times WotC felt like reducing prices on eternal cards. Magic card prices are currently in a bubble - it's to be expected that most cards are going to be increasing in price until the bubble pops. I've been playing since Nemesis, and random bullshit rares and uncommons are vastly more expensive than anyone could have imagined when I first started playing. Chrome Mox being $20, Arcbound Ravager $10 and Skullclamp being a $5 uncommon were absurd, and they were that expensive for a reason - they weren't optional if you wanted to play standard. Sure, standard cards drop in price after rotation if they're useless for modern, but that's to be expected. Meanwhile you get poo poo like Ghostly Prison being a $10 uncommon, or bulk rares like Mana Echoes or Wheel and Deal being worth something when they were the poo poo rare you hated to open back in the day. I went through my old boxes of rares and pulled enough value from them to build eight modern decks trading into my local store. If you've been playing forever, you're going to have a bunch of cards that are worth money even if they were worthless a few years ago. Pretty sure SuicideSteve isn't bragging about winning #mtgfinance, he's just a #MTGlifer. anyway AgentSythe posted:shut the gently caress up

Ciprian Maricon posted:There's going to have to be something really interesting going on for me to be interested in casting a half dozen variations on Big Furry Monster The real trap is if the meld cards are unplayable/bad without both halves. I can't imagine a deck that can use the mechanic consistently, but then again, Tron is a thing. Seems like it would kind of work poorly with drafting, though.

Why would you take out Displacer to put in Thalia? Thalia and Eldrazi Displacer is a combo, if you blink the opponent's creatures with Displacer while you have Thalia in play, they come back into play tapped.

Say what you want about Commander, but I found a neat site that lets you see what other people are playing in their decks. It's called EDHREC, and it analyzes large numbers of decklists and tells you what the most commonly played cards in. I was thinking about building Gitrog Monster because it looks fun, but I was worried I'd be missing important staples and not realize it because I haven't touched the format in over a year.Chill la Chill posted:Post the most creative MTGO potential rules bug with meld.
