I run Avalanche Riders in a Naya Flicker deck I put together. T3 Avalanche Riders, T4 Restoration Angel while the echo is on the stack does not make for happy opponents, especially if you are on the play.

It's possible a lot of the early artists just peaced out when they changed to straight payment instead of royalties. I don't think they ever clearly say why an artist is or isn't making art anymore for them.

Even without translating a few things are clear. June 6 release, MSRP of 3.99, so it's boosters not a fixed set. Alaan fucked around with this message at 06:09 on Feb 13, 2014 |

It's also not unreasonable that there are a few pockets of Phyrexians scattered around the multiverse any way. Dominaria was definitely Yawgmoth's primary target, but they had a presence on a poo poo ton of worlds. Urza and Xancha spent a lot of time basically randomly plane hopping trying to find Phyrexians and Phyrexian sleeper agents.

There is nothing inherently impossible about a Phyrexian becoming a planeswalker(Xancha's heartstone lead to Karn being able to 'walk), but there never has been one. So they've had to use planar portals. Whether that tech has been passed on through the oil is an open question.

jassi007 posted:Yeah. My point is basically karn was a robot built with the same heart/soul piece that phyrexians are made with, then he got a spark. He was more or less a sleeper phyrexian agent from day 1, and he got a spark. His glistening oil leaked out here and there, the Mirrari was an infected space probe basically, then he built that into memnarch who did all sorts of lovely things on Argentum/Mirrodin, he boiled him down to the Mirrari again, then post Time Spiral Karn realized he was corrupt, start planeswalking away but stupidly went back to Mirrodin which basically spelled its doom. The Phyrexian population is also wildly divergent from the originals. Instead of just churning programmed fantasy androids out of goo vats, a lot of their population is corrupted Mirrans.

It might be more clear depending on where they jump with Tezzeret. Apparently he is pretty high up on the chain of command right now in New Phyrexia on Bolas' orders. However that is mainly from the book which doesn't even have the Praetors so ???

Pretty sweet two days for me. Won FNM draft last night with some...black red voltron thing. I'm really going with "Holy poo poo was I lucky." on that one. I played well, but it was a pretty mediocre deck. All three opponents mulled at least once, two of those were down to 5. Then I found out we had Modern Masters draft today. Ended up with a pretty ridiculous U/G splash red deck. Two Mulldrifters, two Aethersnipe, two Errant Ephemeron, Imperiousaur, Tromp the Domains. My G1 in the finals was the silliest thing ever though. I was flooding super hard. I literally had 15/17 lands on board by the time it was over, and I think another 1 in hand. My opponent had been mana screwed so we were kind of just staring at each other taking occasional pokes until I finally hit gas and Tromped. It's hilarious hard casting Ephemeron plus another 5 casting cost guy in the same turn. G2 flooded out again, but not so bad, and ended up getting beat down by Cloudgoat Ranger and blinding beam. G3 he had an opening hand of 3 blinding beams. I pretty much would have needed all 3 of my burn spells to punch through that cause he had the T5 Ranger, then Marsh Flitter once that died. Cracked two Coursers and a Kiora in my prize packs over the two days. Which is good cause none of my decks had any value in them. Imperiosaur was my P1P1.

It probably won't move down much while it is in standard unless somehow W/x control is completely unviable post Ducks block rotation(which hasn't been true for years). It will drop a lot when it rotates out of standard. I'd still be inclined to ditch it for a non-foil plus some other poo poo if you can find the trade. Foils are sometimes hard to move.

No. Whenever a player would get priority state based stuff is checked, and one person controlling two of the same Legend forces them to knock one in the yard before they can do anything else.

Don't be that relieved. They aren't anywhere near as major players. I don't think Rev sees play in any major legacy deck and it's certainly not a modern staple. It's usable, but it's significantly worse than in standard because modern is a much faster format.

morning wood posted:Question about Supreme Verdict: The text of the card says it can't be countered. Does this mean you just can't play a card that says "counter target spell or is it killing your permanents period dot? Can you play a Boros Charm and make your permanents indestructible in response to this? Effects that say "Counter target spell" can't do anything vs it. Boros Charm will stop it just fine because indestructible creatures can't be destroyed.

Most event decks have been fairly costed or slightly undercosted on the whole. So we should expect it to be in the right range of value, and possibly a great deal depending on how friendly they are feeling. Either bitterblossom or a fetch(I'm kind of hesitant because only one of five legal fetches getting extra push is kind of weird) would easily put it over. It mentions black disruption so a pair of thoughtseizes or so would kick it to about right as well.

jassi007 posted:Do you like janky decks that fold easily? I've got a list for you. Our judge plays a pretty similar variant to this deck streaming that is probably a little sturdier. Has cryptics and some four mana bounce all creatures at instant speed spell. Also Lab Maniac instead of Emrakul as the alternate win con. It's still basically one turn too slow though to to be a fully real deck though.

I'd imagine people would much rather be running fastlands or buddy lands depending on deck than something guaranteed to come in tapped if they needed more than fetches/shocks.

So as much as I like my Zendikar full arts, I really don't look at my lands in play that often and I also like sweet, sweet cash. Any suggestions on how best to sell them off? Sets of 1 of each land seem to be doing decent on eBay.

There will probably be somewhere between 3-5x as many Mutavaults as there were before and about the same demand as before M14. No way is that not going down. If you aren't using them in standard and you have them, you'll want out in the next three months.

It's too good of a card in Modern and Legacy to totally brick. Probably won't dip below 10? Totally pulling that out of my rear end though. Long term they should head back up but not as fast as Lorwyn's will.

Mine are very roughly alphabetized. All the White A's are together etc. The key is if you are basically just starting keep SOME organization on it because it takes for loving ever to sort them out later when it is 1000 random white cards with no rhyme or reason.

I'm imagining Garruk probably not going to get touched in the story soon. He's the face of M15 so that almost guarantees a new card, which will put him at five cards. That's more than anyone else so I'd be shocked if there was also a Ducks block Garruk.

Something that says target creature can target any creature unless it says "creature card." A token is not a card so would not be a valid target. That is pretty rare for things that are on board though.

I'd imagine it is a lot like the invitational cards were done. The guest designers have an idea they want to do then design/development either makes it into a printable card(which may end up being fairly different because of rules/balance) or go "whoa, let's try something else".

When an object changes zones is generally considered to be a new object for terms of abilities/targeting. So guy with persist dies. It's controller stacks the triggers so persist resolves first and returns that creature to the battlefield. Athreos' trigger goes to resolve and the persist creature is no longer in the yard so can't be moved from the yard to it's controller's hand.

Korak posted:
Still costs W because it only reduces colorless mana. But the strive IS figured into the mana cost when casting it. So you declare targets. Strive adds 1 to the cost for each target, Thaumaturge removes 1 from the cost for each target, you pay calculated cost of W.
