awesomebrah posted:So wait people spent all of the last standard season bitching about revelation and now they want Fact or Fiction in standard? F&F for Modern, and having it in Standard would be a consequence. Alas, F&F is backbreaking with as powerful as cards are.

BaronVonVaderham posted:At Modern last week someone had apparently never seen Sundering Titan before. The room got really quiet while he and his opponent had their back and forth going over what the card did. I wish I could remember exactly what was said but it was really comical. Sundering Titan is a dick. I keep one in MUD at all times and it's never let me down. It even shares a type with Lodestone Golem.

Sorin and Siege Rhino aren't going to be multiformat all-stars in the way that Snapcaster and JTMS are, because they cost 4 and aren't blue. They'll probably see some eternal play but something with as specific of a mana cost as Siege Rhino ain't going to find enough homes to spike. Solemn Visitor has to compete with Lord of Innistrad for the 4 drop Sorin occasionally played in Stoneblade decks slot.

Elyv posted:Ugin's Nexus has to do with extra turns, I think that by itself automatically makes it mythic these days. Magosi, the Waterveil, Search the City, and Time Sieve are rares that grant extra turns that were introduced after the mythic rarity. Still, 9 mythic rares do deal with extra turns, and it's never been below rare.

Zorak posted:Siege Rhino doesn't care if you've got removal, even if you remove it you're basically not outracing the deck it's in. I'm not sure what kind of deck could be built to actually combat it at this point. Blue/Black mill obviously. Siege Rhino can't beat down a Wall of Frost.

Xeom posted:Can someone explain to me why a lot of red aggro decks are including 'Eidolon of the Great Revel'? It would seem to hurt the red player more than anything else. Play it at the proper time and a lot of decks can't do one goddamn thing to it without shocking themselves. You're the guy on the offensive so taking 2 damage to drop a rabblemaster isn't nearly as big of a deal as the person getting punched repeatedly.

Symphonie posted:Looks like the black Commander deck has leaked. The Legendary reprint is Drana, and there's a land that shuts off your opponent's hexproof and shroud, which quite frankly for me might be the best card to come out of Commander 2014 because gently caress some of my local decks. Oh good I can interact with Narset in ways besides "have Thrun". This also means Narset can interact with Thrun in ways besides "have Council's Judgement".

Fingers McLongDong posted:Exactly. I see cool cards like Feldon and get all excited before remembering that it's only playable in legacy or commander and realize I will never get to use said cool cards. He might be playable in Imperial Painter, since he can make recruiters and painters and Jayas off of dead ones.

Wadjamaloo posted:It would still be dominant. During the period it was legal things were so crazy that burn was running 4x copies. You ran mental misstep just so you could counter your opponents mental misstep. 7/8 decks of a top eight had four mental missteps. The eighth played no 1-cmc spells.

a dozen swans posted:What do you all play, and why? In Legacy I play MUD and Enchantress, I guess because what I like is to make my opponents look at my cool moves while they can't do anything about it. French Commander is a Surrak Dragonclaw-led Temur Goodstuff list. Uncounterable dragons and Kiki-Jiki combos never felt so good.

 Chintzy as hell but god I love that line. I wish I had the ability to spare $350 on a piece of cardboard like this.   More on point, I could post nearly every Orzhov card from Guildpact in here.    This trio of flavor texts is amazing. I'd also be remiss to not mention The Love Song of Night and Day because I unironically love it.

rabidsquid posted:It's a drat shame that all of the talk about, uh, EDH??? is getting derailed. Scuttling Doom Engine in Scrap Savant: yay or nay? I like the Doom Engine but my brother says I'm overrating it. Cathodion consistently never got to use its effect for anything and was just a 3/3 for 3. I put in Etched Champion over it iirc. Or was it Scarecrone? I dunno, three-drop artifact dude is a pretty vague slot. Is 9 nonbasics too many for a Price of Progress? Considering half the deck is colorless I can load it with utility lands pretty easily.

Madmarker posted:It was a very good part, but would she have even been run in monoblue if she wasnt also a conditional 5/5? Magic discussion has a terrible habit of trying to distill cards into single elements even though a lot of good cards are a sum of their parts i.e. Thassa is not just a scry 1, but a way to get damage in and sometimes a beatstick, and no one of those is as good as all of those. I'm not sure if it's a consequence of trying to imagine if a card is still functional in a worse-case scenario or what.

Applebees posted:I'm leaning towards fake, because it should say "Ugin, the Spirit Dragon deals 3 damage to target creature or player." The second ability also doesn't seem like something Wizards would do.    Planeswalkers seem to always refer to themselves by the card's full name.    It's only legendary creatures the whole no title past the first thing.

It's not like abolishing the reserved list activates ancient leylines that cause several thousand volcanic islands and black lotuses to manifest from the mists of time and immediately into people's hands. It's also not like Polluted Delta and Flooded Strand dropping from $100+ to $15 has caused people to die poison deaths irl. The reserved list is outdated and binds the hands of Wizards even though they loving know how to print things. MMA's small print run did show that they can add to a card pool, which expands the player base, without causing single prices to enter into a death spiral. Like, what reasoning is there behind the reserved list anymore that isn't arbitrary or implausibly catastrophic?

The answer for triggers is clearly not only to remind your opponent, but to remind the people in games you are observing, and give the DCI the means and authority to enforce this lethally. So your opponent misses their Nyx-fleeced Ram trigger and you don't remind them? Sleeping with the fishes! Guy next to you doesn't remember sulfuric vortex? They and you get it! If you, Johnny Streamwatcher, see a missed trigger and don't immediately use every means at your disposal to inform the players? It's curtains for you! Just sitting around while your friends are playing magic and one misses a trigger? You better get three coffins ready!

I'm thankful for efficiently costed creatures who can carry a gamestate after the last three you cast got countered or immediately removed. I have frequent need to have a singular efficient guy keep momentum going and having badasses like Polukranos or Stormbreath Dragon makes this possible.

Now that mana burn is gone, I don't have to be careful with lunatic ramping either. Cast cloud of faeries, untap serra's sanctum and this tropical island with three auras. It's more fun being able to ramp to hell. So, yeah, besides it not mattering in 99% of games, the removal of mana burn makes that remainder more fun instead of less. There's, like, exactly one situation in which it ever mattered, named Spectral Searchlight.

Angry Grimace posted:I don't agree that out-of-game intelligence is not part of the game. Reading the metagame is clearly within that realm. I have a sophisticated set of cameras secretly installed in the game area feeding info on my opponent's hand & library directly into my cybereye. What!? Show me in the comprehensive rules it mentions cybereyes! That's right! Nowhere! Checkmate, clearly one player should have knowledge of what cards the others are playing the others cannot access because they sucked enough dicks in the back room or whatever.
