Dungeon Ecology posted:On a related note, I love hearing about the different names that people/playgroups have adopted for different cards. Young Peezy et al. I used to called Gray Merchant of Asphondel "Gay Merchant of Assbuttland" but it never caught on. Gary is way less fun. Also Innistrad Limited we would call "Galvanic Juggernaut" Big Juggz. E: Also my pet card is Figure of Destiny. I have a soft spot for white weenies that suddenly become enormous.

On the other end of the spectrum, I really really like all of the Eldrazi. I had just restarted playing Magic at the tail end of worldwake, and the first card I saw from RoE was Ulamog and just thought whooooaaa how do I even use this? It was mind blowingly large and expensive, and just really really cool. Also Vent Sentinel. RoE was the best.

Madmarker posted:Heh, its crazy how good creatures have become, I mean, would people even run Wild Mongrel if it were legal in standard now? If madness was a major archetype, and/or standard needed a graveyard enabler probably. It would really depend if there was a BETTER madness/graveyard card, and with modern cards there likely would be. Its all relative.

The idea behind Clockwork Librarian is absolute insanity, and I hope they make more cards that interact with the actual process of draft. Drafting that card to exchange it for an extra spicy pack of cards later in the draft is just so cool. Not sure how thats going to work on MODO though!

OssiansFolly posted:But heres the thing...If you use your Librarian you have to put him BACK in the pack, so the guy next to you can then take it and use it AGAIN. Imagine, since it is common, seeing 2-3 of these in a pod...it would cause so much confusion. Not to mention I can see people screwing up the card counts...because rear end holes exist. Its really not as confusing as you make it sound. You'll always be drafting the same number of cards, and you'll have to put back a vanilla 3/3 for 4 back into the pile. Putting back a vanilla 3/3 for 4 is hardly a downside when you get maybe a bomb uncommon and an important missing piece like removal from your deck. We've all had those packs that make you feel "uggghhh i want everything in this pack!" I think my playgroup, and most playgroups for that matter can handle Clockwork Librarian.

It speeds things up for everyone involved. It isn't a matter of being lazy...it is a matter of convenience. Everyone seems to confuse and combine the two concepts. That is a pretty intense justification for being lazy and ignoring really good advice.

Count Bleck posted:I eagerly await the next Un-Set including a 'Heart of the Cardboard' card that basically says "cheat anything you want into play for no cost" Name a card and reveal the top card of your library. If it is that card, put it into play. If it is not the card you were hoping for, search for your library for that card and put it ontop of your library. Then, reveal the top card of your library and put that card into play. Shuffle your library.

morning wood posted:Rules/card mechanics question: If a Boros Reckoner was to block a 5/5 creature with trample, would Boros Reckoner be able to assign 3 damage or 5 damage to another creature or player? 3 damage is lethal, he would only receive 3 damage so he would only assign 3 damage for his triggered ability. The remaining 2 damage spills over onto the player. If trample wasn't there, BR would be able to assign 5 damage.

E: and also at least 6 life. I think inferno titan + whip would be the grossest because you would gain 12 life. Now I have a dumb idea for a modern deck.
