Serperoth posted:Vexing Devil also works, as Nehru said. Apropos of nothing, but this makes me wish that Vexing Devil was legal with Athreos. Pontius Pilate posted:They never put haste on tokens since it's only relevant for one turn. Which I don't quite get, because haste is only relevant on regular creatures for one turn as well. If there's room on the token for Reach, then there's room on the token for Haste. Sure, they can make the picture bigger, but who cares.

My FLGS did a repeat Journey prerelease tonight, and I took the blue box (white and black were gone by the time I showed up) but ended up running RB with some minotaurs, a bunch of tricks, a little burn, and Agent of the Fates. 4-0, only lost 2 games. First time I've ever 4-0'd anything. I am pleased. (edit: nothing amazing in the prize packs, but 2 Deicides, which is cool.)

Angry Grimace posted:I think the effect of seeing a Swamp in the opening play is similar to the sensation old school players get when they see two untapped blue mana sources. Ha ha, so true. I also still ask my Standard opponents to this day who are playing if my spell resolves, even when they have no untapped mana, just from ancient Force of Will-related PTSD.

From that Forsythe article, this:quote:For extra story-filled goodness, we've also included a certain legendary mythic rare artifact that has had a role in making Garruk the man he is today. Sort of hints at a reprint, but I don't remember storywise if any of the legendary mythic rare artifacts (and there aren't many) were involved. One is a double-sided card, so that's not happening.

Have we discussed the return of Convoke in concert with the relatively uninspired previous options for the Inspired mechanic yet? Because it seems like there might be some synergy there. Obelisk of Urd, I'm looking at you in particular.

weekly font posted:I don't know if it cracks the top Golgari cards but 7 mana is hard to get a real read on without testing. It might end up one of those fun Nicol Bolas style cards as opposed to a staple. I wonder if it'll be similar to Vraska - people initially put off by the cost, but eventually realizing that it might be useful even just as potentially-useful flexible removal. vvvv I agree completely, although for superstandard at least, Vraska also kills Elspeth for less mana, so he might get somewhat overlooked for that period of time.

BXCX posted:Not that everything Ultra Pro makes is total garbage, I've been switching over to these Satin Tower deck boxes from my previous fat packs filled with cheap deck boxes system and they are nice as hell. Going back a bit here, but the old UltraPro "Metalized" sleeves that they used to make are still the best sleeves I've ever used - I still have a couple of packs that I've had for like ten years, and they still shuffle smoothly and look great (not one has ever split, either). I happened to find some for sale recently on Amazon from a single seller while scouring the net for them the other day, and bought them out (only 5 packs). I certainly agree that their base picture sleeves these days are not high quality, but those Metalized sleeves hold a special place in my heart.

Sleep of Bronze posted:I'm fairly sure he found Dunce Foolio in one of the comics that not even I'm a big enough flavour fanatic to read. And Sorin was unamused by THE GREATEST THIEF IN THE MULTIVERSE. And Tibalt from the Duel Decks too. This brought a question to my mind: is there a story provided for the Duel Decks? I.E., is there lore as to what happened when Sorin met Tibalt? Because considering the participants, in my mind it pretty much goes like when Indiana Jones met that guy with a fancy sword - Tibalt boasts and makes some colorful sparkles, Sorin just glances in disgust at him, and then Tibalt collapses into a pile of ash. Confirm/deny?

BizarroAzrael posted:^^ Is there something to be said for that? I mean, I know it's not statistically useful to most decks, but if a mono Red deck wants to stop drawing land at a certain point, having some that take another out of the deck is good isn't it? Or is it not worth the point of life? I'm sure studies have been conducted. Even though it's a very minor benefit, that's still a benefit, so why not.

The lack of more really good 1 drops kind of hurts, but I guess you could max out on the Elves and Soldiers. Maybe throw an Athreos or two in there.
