Zorak posted:Zeus got his position not by being the oldest, or even the most powerful, but by being the most wily. Hades is actually stated to be the most powerful of the Olympians, which is why him getting tricked into getting the "worst" dominion is funny. I always thought Zeus got his position by being the one to not get eaten by his daddy.

AATREK CURES KIDS posted:Could Magister of Worth be a one-of in Reanimator? It saves you in situations where you're dead on board otherwise, but I struggle to think of a situation it would be better than Blazing Archon or Griselbrand. If your opponent is merfolk and they've got a couple of lords on board you might want that angel (since Elesh Norn won't cut it at that point).

Korak posted:So what happened with Fanatic of Xenagos? Nearly everyone was thinking it was a good aggressive creature for RG/x Monsters to keep the pressure on and it seems to have been quickly replaced with Courser. Turns out a 3/3 that dies to Bile Blight and Lightning Strike doesn't work out as well as a 2/4 that helps smooth out your non-land draws.

The Wonder Weapon posted:Modern is a very fresh format. I have no doubt that it will develop it's own personality and unique powerful interactions as the pool deepens. Yeah I'm not really seeing how the Pod player is particularly sad about taking bolts to the face when they just drop a Kitchen Finks and turn it into a glorified ping. Or how UWR control is being punished when they just helix a creature and gain it all back. Blood Moon is one (very good) thing but Lightning Bolt doesn't remotely compare to Wasteland as a form of mana base punishment. And seconding modern being boring in comparison to Legacy. The card pool of modern might grow but it will grow slowly, and a lot of those cards will wind up in Legacy too anyways.

Attorney at Funk posted:I'm looking forward to all those incredible Azorius cards rotating out not because I don't like Esper or control decks in general, but because I'd really like to see the main control deck not be base blue-white for a while. How about blue-black, or Grixis? As long as Blue is the best colour at answering cards before they come into play, and White the best at answering cards after, this will not happen.

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:Brimaz, Courser, Ephara, and Spirit of the Labyrinth are all top-tier cards. All four are going to see Modern/Legacy play.  In what deck would Ephara be played? She's certainly too slow for Legacy, and there isn't really a blue white deck in modern she slots into nicely.Brimaz and Courser are more likely to see maindeck play, but Brimaz will generally be a tier 2 card at best and Courser's best use right now is in BG Rock/Jund, both of which lost a lot of steam.

Sloppy move on Reid Duke's part, letting his life total get low enough that he could get Obzedaddy'd out of the game like that. Was he thinking about Grey Merchant maybe?

Boco_T posted:Skred Red is Dissolution's new project to go with the Enchantment Control. It definitely has weaknesses, and against your deck it seems like "not getting one of 4 Clasm 4 Anger post-board" is probably what done him in, but in general I think it's quite weak against aggro. Folds to burn immediately. Couldn't it just run 4 Dragons Claw sideboard (I am dead serious) and shore up the poo poo out of that matchup?

I was actually wondering about sideboarding Vengeful Pharoah vs. Zoo for that exact reason. Gifts package for Loam and Pharoah, kill one attacker, then next turn dredge Loam back for one hell of a rattlesnake.

End of Life Guy posted:The guy running 4-color Delver had a decktech in which he said that Mizzium Skin "blanks Golgari Charm for 2 mana". I don't see how that's the case. Giving all your creatures hexproof won't make a difference with Golgari charm, as only one of its modes says "target", and that's for an enchantment. Mizzium Skin gives +0/+1.

Bugsy posted:Why does it have two static abilities when the BNG 2 color gods only have 1? I imagine this will be the theme of the Nyx gods since they're all enemy colours, having two abilities that are different parts of the god's respective colours as opposed to the single ability that was the sum of both for the last ones.

The Sage seems snapped in half in a Mimeoplasm deck. Just imagine casting Mimeoplasm after binning it and a Lord of Extinction a few turns into a decently sized EDH game.

Spite of Mogis seems pretty good in UWR control in Modern; I don't know if it would see a spot when Flame Slash already doesn't, though.

I'm really hype about the Conspiracy walker, since it not being in Modern or Standard means it's theoretically a chance for them to push the hell out of the card and have another Legacy playable walker. Or it'll be gimmicky crap. v  v

Zorak posted:Well I meant more it'd be cool if you could exile a card in an opponents graveyard and YOU get a snake. But that would probably be overpowered. She costs 1 more than the Ooze, has an extra black mana in the activation cost, doesn't gain you life or give you a body when you cast her, and can't hit anything but creatures. I don't think it would have been too overpowered to do that.

Are god cards creatures as they are in the library, as in can they be searched for with things like birthing pod? Gods are absolutely pod-able if you want to do so.
