carborexic posted:Is there any particular reason why they cut back on using quotations from Shakespeare, Coleridge, Poe, Keats, Plato, even the New Testament and the Qu'ran, and so forth, as flavor text? It's a real shame. Most of the recent flavor text is either unattributed, or ascribed to a planeswalker or some similarly trite person from the storyline. I know I can't be the only one to still remember the flavor text on cards like Phantom Monster, Giant Strength and Winter Blast. No mixing the real world with the flavor world. They do still pull from real-world stuff in the core sets, M14 Pay No Heed is King Lear, for example. Shrecknet fucked around with this message at 21:22 on Feb 7, 2014 |

bhsman posted:Yeah, Rakdos Aggro can be really, really cheap but you're going to have to invest in the Dreadbore/Mortars/Downfall trio if you find that Doom Blade and Exava aren't enough. Same with MURDERGOATS.dec. I put together Rakdos Humanggro and I just can't understand Exava's role. She's a 4/4 Haster for 4, sure, but is that enough? I keep coming back to Cryptborn Horror as an alternative, because dropping him on 4 and also firing off a Thoughtseize to take their board-wipe or big green dude seems good. What am I missing about her? That she makes future Rakdos Cacklers into Goblin Guides? I thought she was the top of the curve.

knowonecanknow posted:Got a question I'm hoping to get resolved. If I play a Gray Merchant of Asphodel is there any way for my opponent to block the damage done by the card as it enters the battlefield, can you cast an instant against it before it finishes "entering the battlefield"? 1) Cast Grey Merchant 2) Response: Rift Overloaded 3) Grey Merchant resolves, sees a total of BB on the board (himself) 4) Drains for 2 instead of lethal. You can also (if this is outside of standard) use Voidslime or Stifle to counter the ability

CountFosco posted:I guess now isn't the best time to start playing that burn deck I've been planning... True story, couple friends were playing a casual game, one idiot gets off an infinite life combo, I helpfully explain that he does need to pick a number. Guy settles on 69,000,000 (because inside we're all still 13). Opponent shrugs, declines to concede when asked, then untaps, plays Malignus, swings and connects for 34,500,000 damage, then Flings Malignus for the win.

Smashing Link posted:Do you guys have some way of monitoring big value changes automatically or just look at individual cards on tcgplayer? MTGPrice has an automated email program you can sign up for and get updates when a big swing happens. Doesn't let you get in since it's time-delayed, but knowing when something you have lying around just jumped to sell into the rush can help you get in on the feeding frenzy before people realize Disrupting Shoal isn't actually a $16 card.

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.

A big flaming stink posted:Soooo, phonechat aside, one of my friends brought up an interesting idea about new lands to print. Would legendary dual lands (as in, identical to the originals except legendary) be in violation of the spirit of the reserve list or too destabilizing to modern? It seems like a pretty nice inclusion to ease the manabase price of old formats a little bit. That was the early thinking on the Theros duals, but it's a bad idea because it would in fact destabilize the gently caress out of modern (and standard). You'd have to go supplemental and legacy-only to make them helpful, which brings its own bugbears about print runs. The real answer is Snow Land - Island Swamp

ScarletBrother posted:But they're not obligated to print Onslaught and Zendikar fetches at the same time, are they? Someone (at WotC) said they don't want to split up "friendly" and "enemy" colored lands between coreset/expansion (like the checklands in Innistrad and M12-M13), so mana is gonna more like RtR and Theros, with 10 lands split up 4-3-3 going forward. This means core sets will have even less worthwhile cards, as their lands will be "a lovely common fixer (Terramorphic Expanse or Uncharted Shores)", "a lovely uncommon hoser (Encroaching Wastes)" and "a rare of dubious quality (Mutavault this year, but maybe something like Reliquary Tower in the future)

I once saw a playset of identically-miscut Accumulated Knowledge for sale in a dealer's case for $600. Over 20% of the card was Seal of Fire. It was exactly the sort of thing that made me really glad I didn't have $600 to spend on wizard poker.

ScarletBrother posted:What specifically bugs you about it? Generally it's the fact that Pod has about 12 paths to victory open to it at any time, and has to make a lot of decisions before it actually goes off. So a lot of "vs-Pod" matchups end up with you staring at them while they think for a good minute, then either they Chord of Calling for Melira and pod into Finks and go off, or say go, you shrug, untap and kill them with your next swing. It's not so much that it isn't interactive, as it's intensely interactive, but only between the pod player and their deck.
