Attorney at Funk posted:Cancel's not in M15? What will the common counterspell be, then, I wonder. From a Standard viewpoint there's not much point in having Cancel back in immediately after taking out. Especially when Dissolve is a strictly better Cancel. We'll probably get Negate or Mana Leak instead. Or maybe something new. Kinda doubt that though. Functional Reprint of Mana Leak to go with an all new Non-Jace Blue Planeswalker? I can only dream.

goferchan posted:I started playing recently so never got to play with them last time around but if fetches were in a Standard environment where the dual lands in rotation didn't have basic land types & there also weren't any landfall effects, would they even be a must-include? I think I understand their role in a Modern manabase (since with shock lands or whatever they can basically fetch any combination of colors) but without that, they don't seem all that helpful. If they reprint fetches they'll be in a set with a mechanic that can make use of them even without Duals with Basic Land Types. Landfall or Threshold or maybe something new. And I will also never understand hate for shuffling. Can someone post/link one of these decks that supposedly does constant shuffling so I can see it for myself?

dragon enthusiast posted:http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles The Gatherer works as a mobile site and a desktop site by design. This new design for the main site clearly didn't see enough planning/testing. Trying to filter the Article Archive for instance break it and returns zero results. Filter options show a million things that probably shouldn't be showing up. Reseting the filter completely breaks the page and returns an "Illegal action" message with a note to contact the web admin.

It's not so much the design itself that's the problem. It's the fact that this site is a buggy pile as is. If it was working people would be a bit turned around for a while but it'd be fine.

Rinkles posted:As a teen I loved the Building on A Budget column on wizards.com, mostly for experimentation with ideas and and detailed deck evolution in the post-Heiss incarnations. It was about building a solid foundation around quirky ideas and giving underused cards a chance to shine. I enjoy reading From the Lab but that's more like a Johnnys Paradise of "take a card and build a stupid and/or powerful combo around it." I kinda want him to do another article like Spinning the Wheel though.

Hopping Ghost posted:It's a solid deck. In Legacy there are two main versions, one that runs LEDs and lands (including Cephalid Coliseum as sort of a "No Bazaar, huh? What else ya got?") and one that runs zero or almost-zero lands that goes off with an end-of-turn discard. There are a few variations within each of those, but those are the main two. Even without Bazaar it's still one of the most potentially explosive decks in the format, but it is weak to hate. The plus side is that unlike Vintage where everyone is ready to deal with Dredge, in Legacy metagames it tends to wax and wane so if you bring it while nobody's expecting much of it, it can do very well. This is kinda the principle for all gimmick decks in all formats really. As we recently saw with RDW/Sligh at the SCG Invitational last weekend.

Current Legend Rule is that no 2 Legendary Permanents with the same name can exist on the same side of the Battlefield. So if you have say a Nykthos and your opponent plays one nothing happens but if you play a second one (and there are actually reasons you would want to do so) you have to chose one of those permanents to keep and sacrifice the other. Planeswalkers work the same way with a small difference. They work off Subtype instead. So you can't have 2 Chandras going at the same time regardless of their actual name.

Swanland and Rush are cool guys, though, I spent a while talking to them between rounds. The line for Steve Argyle was atrociously long. Well that's kinda lame since he's got some pretty cool card art. What'd you have him sign?

I'm loving that new Nissa. Both pluses are pretty good on their own and Ult dumping a decks worth of Basic Lands onto the field that are also 4/4s for the rest of the game seems pretty crazy. e: quote:[-7]: You get an emblem with "If a source would deal damage to you or a planeswalker you control, prevent all but one damage." Free automatic Forcefield.

Rogue 7 posted:I think the problem with this Ajani is the same as others- without support, he does nothing. Mentor of Heroes would dig for gas if you played him on an empty board, and boost his loyalty while doing so. I like his "put a loyalty counter on each other planeswalker you control", though, I think that's a really cool area of design they haven't explored yet. It's just more fuel for the Superfriends Fire. I want to see a Standard Superfriends deck by the time Khans cycles in.

So now we've seen all the Souls I'll say that I could see most of them seeing play. - New Phyrexia will see the most play for being colorless with Trample and an OK ability. - Zendikar and Shandalar will probably see the next most play for their abilities being actually decent. - Theros could either see more or less play than Zendikar/Shandalar I'm still not sure where it falls on this scale but it's ability is pretty solid and can back up token armies quite well. On it's own it's an 8/8 Vigilant, Lifelinking, First Striker every turn. - Innistrad will see minimal play because Wizards doesn't seem to like giving out even conditional Reanimator effects all that much and for this cost he should be able to just reanimate something (maybe CMC 3 or less). And then we have Ravnica. Most expensive ability of the bunch. Rewards you for playing more colors but hampers that a bit with UU cost. Drawing 5 for 7 mana isn't too bad but drawing anything less for that is just terrible.

The color pie is best used as a set of general guidelines rather than a strict set of rules. I like it when we get cards that fall way off the color pie because they're usually flavorful, like Hornet Sting or Harmonize.

They should do an entire Block where the entire color pie is off on the Plane. White is Red, Red is Blue, Blue is White, Green is Black, and Black is Green. Would really get people mad but also be fun/interesting and twist up the Eternal Formats. It'd certainly be a flavorful Block/Plane anyway.
