Blightning, because I built a poor man's Jund deck to play against my coworker back when we got into Magic again, just using cards from packs we bought at the Target near our office, and nothing made him rage harder than Blightning. Also I loved Terminate from Alara block, partly for the rules text and partly cuz that guy was freaking exploding.

Madmarker posted:Heh, its crazy how good creatures have become, I mean, would people even run Wild Mongrel if it were legal in standard now? Wasn't the whole deal with Wild Mongrel that it was an enabler for madness or threshold or whatever was in Standard at the time? I don't think it was a ridiculous card on its own.

Zero_Grade posted:Really they should just make one for all the walkers*. Toss in some oldwalkers/big names too (Jhoira, Jaya Ballard, Thalia, etc) and you'd have people snapping that poo poo up like hotcakes. Everyone knows nerds love their little collectible things - and these are even already based on a collectible game. Tibalt's visual design is kind of fun, he's just bad at being a card.

toadee posted:Couldn't they just print a bunch of stuff, and not make broken cards, thereby having a bunch of availability, but not a huge ban list? It's not like making dumb broken cards has to go hand in hand with printing a bunch. Not if their goal is to make everyone buy the new cards all the time because they are brokenly powerful and their previously broken cards are now banned.

Tharizdun posted:Technically, Mistform Ultimus is a vanilla 3/3, and just has all 1200 creature types on its type line. For a practical application, Humility would make a creature with Changeling into a shapeshifter with no other types, while it wouldn't affect Mistform Ultimus other than giving it -2/-2. Is it like the difference between the old "is indestructible" and the new "indestructible" ability? Like, one is just stating something true about the object while the other is an in-game ability.

Count Bleck posted:Still doesn't beat when my friend running GW Aggro kept a hand with 3 lands and 4 loxodon smiters because "I know he's playing monoblack." I know it's a powerful play, but I still love when Modern Jund decks Lava Axe themselves to Thoughtseize an opponent on turn 1. I guess the only way it gets better is if it also puts a 4/4 into play for your opponent.

TheLoser posted:Quick question on rotation: When M15 comes out in July, will M14 rotate out with its release? Or is that postponed until Ravnica rotates out next fall? M14 rotates out with the whole Ravnica block in the fall. The summer months are sometimes referred to as "super standard" because both core sets overlap.

Symphonie posted:In fairness I think Mark Rosewater has mentioned on his tumblr he thinks it was a mistake that M14 Garruk was pure green, as that lead to the impression that he was cured of the Veil nonsense. The unwritten implication there is that at some point Garruk will receive a new card that reflects where he's supposed to be at in the lore. Was his flip card in Innistrad meant to represent, like, the exact moment the curse took hold?

Zoness posted:Also keep in mind you can't play those spells until after combat, so burn spells and haste / pseudo-haste creatures lose a lot of utility here. You lose utility but you gain card advantage so it probably balances out. Seems like he's decent wrath insurance, too. If they clear your board and you drop him after they have one turn to deal or you're getting in there for new dudes or just more burn to the face.

vOv posted:So if I take this green intro deck, which is awesome, and the black intro deck, which is awesome, and I combine them... that makes a deck that's EVEN MORE AWESOME. We also did the free mulligans and play all your lands back in middle school. I think my favorite deck was a UW with Serra Avatar, Capsize and Angelic Chorus to have all the life. I mostly only ever played against one other guy and I distinctly remember the time he played Recycle with no other cards in hand and I had to tell him why that was a bad idea.

I like how the templating is "Whenever equipped creature dies". I know the equipped creature is going to die quite a lot, but it makes it sound like the card anticipates the same creature dying over and over.

Olothreutes posted:Elspeth seems to be able to create life at will through her soldiers and whatnot but I guess that isn't quite such a big deal? It sounds more like they are a little stronger than the average person and can walk, but that's about the end of the differences. Elspeth does that in the same way you (the player) summon creatures, which I guess is like using magic to create a copy of something that already exists.

Devor posted:Does activating the Chain Veil before any Planeswalker loyalty abilities have been used work? It seems like it should, since the phrasing seems to create a 'special' activation that remains active on them, that would still let you use a normal one. "For each planeswalker you control, you may activate one of its loyalty abilities once this turn as though none of its loyalty abilities had been activated this turn." I think for each planeswalker it's creating a special activation you get to use once, at any point during the turn. So I think you have to use your "regular" activation before you use the special one, but you can use both after activating the Veil; you don't have to have used one before you use its ability.
