Froghammer posted:Vexing Devil is great when you have three of them in your opening hand. Beyond that it's kind of meh. "Dies to Doom Blade except when it dies to the opponent being able to tank the 4 damage either through exploiting your loss of board presence or being able to win fast enough the damage doesn't matter, the decision of which is entirely in said opponent's hand" is a good argument, though.

Imagine if, when you cast Boros Charm, the opponent got to pick which mode was cast. It'd be awful because you'd never get the 4 damage or Double Strike when you wanted it, and I can see your dudes becoming Indestructible really often, which is noted for not helping with Unsummon nor increasing damage output. While this is a bit of an extreme example, I think it does illustrate why punisher mechanics are so rarely good. The two modes have to be close, like with Xenabro or that mythic phoenix, or otherwise the opponent can take whichever inconveniences them the least. At prerelease I let a guy's Nessian Wilds Ravager get to be 12/12 because I had Voyage's End in hand and I liked my board position.

Star Man posted:poo poo, they put a number of Thragtusks into one deck of every event deck series for a year and it still didn't do a loving thing to its price. And thus the argument for Force at uncommon: gently caress single prices! When "land that gets other land" costs over twice as much as "the biggest creature who literally bends time and is immune to being murdered" something's terribly loving wrong. I mean, gently caress, the most exciting thing they could do in M15 isn't printing a giant dragon that breathes fire and also lightning, but reprinting a hill with trees on it they already printed a decade ago. The hell is wrong with this game?

Literally The Worst posted:You know what's great? Having your stock devalued like a motherfucker because that 150 dollar card is now a twenty dollar card. It's literally nothing to do with being smart or not, having expensive things suddenly be worth less than you paid for them is bad. On the other hand, a 150 dollar card suddenly becoming 20 means more people will buy it. Supply & demand, yo.

Bugsy posted:Yes the tokens are of the same rarity as the card that makes them. Voice is a mythic so the voice elemental token is rarer than say a Grove of Guardian elemental. Can we have a Token Masters then so I can get some tokens for weirder poo poo? Throw in some classics like 0/1 black Serf, 1/1 red Survivor and 3/4 red/green Stangg Twin, and call it a set.

The good thing about style guides is that the art is that the bad art is never too bad. Even the failures have a certain minimum. I mean, when we talk about wanting old art styles back I don't think anyone means Freyalise's Charm.

Goblins tends to be named after the tribal theme it has in it. IIRC Ninja-Bear-Delver looked like it had little way to capitalize on an advantageous game state besides swinging with 2/2s and hoping you could use Ninja of the Deep Hours enough times you never ran out of removal to lose your position. Interesting idea, at least.

Stinky Pit posted:I too wonder why a company who operates a massive organized play network as a means to motivate participants into constantly purchasing more of their product, won't allow people to participate with printed out free copies of their intellectual property. I also wonder why the only way to obtain their intellectual property is from second-hand dealers so that they don't get any money from it. Either way, they don't get any money. I also wonder why the most expensive intellectual property is the place your neat-rear end wizard dude sits his poo poo instead of the neat-rear end wizard spells. I am unreasonably angry at land prices.

Stinky Pit posted:Wizards isn't interested in chasing those dollars. They make far more money creating and selling new product to an audience several orders of magnitude larger than the one that participates in the secondary market. Then why do they so heavily support Modern, a format that can only be played if one participates heavily in the secondary market?

Stinky Pit posted:Because they are a good company who smartly creatures products to appeal to many types of customers and creates formats to similarly differentiate the "products" their organized play structure makes available? And yet despite being able to print new cards and get money from the sales, they seem extremely skittish to do this in anything but the safest tests i.e. Modern Masters having a supply of Not Much, as though a lurch downwards in the secondary market would cause the game to collapse, despite the majority of players not needing these? I need a loving Ken Burns documentary on Chronicles because nearly two decades later it's apparently still burning them. There's something really confusing going on and it means Savannahs cost $75 despite only being somewhat better than Temple Garden which is played more and also 1/8th the cost.

LordSaturn posted:I guess I was imagining a no-basic-lands Karametra EDH, which really defeats the purpose of Karametra now that I think about it. The deck in question usually had only its duals and sometimes a gaea's cradle or gavony township for nonbasics and an unpleasantly large pile of forests that Blood Moon doesn't even touch. But really since my deck is Krenko, Mob Boss, I just need to play more goblins and win before the Elesh Norn drops and makes all the goblins die.

Being able to slap down 2 more swamps was a pretty important part of Korlash, because he could ramp you into Angel of Despair or Akroma while also giving himself +2/+2. Squelching Leeches is decent, I guess, but I don't see it getting much of anywhere because it's a dumb body. Fate Unraveller from last set's better.
