Chorocojo posted:EDIT2: Huh. That's certainly bridging the gap between the wedge set and and something, but I don't know what the other thing is. Actually, based on the modal spell: Since the first set is all non-dragons, the third set is 100% dragons. It's like poetry. It rhymes.

Check this sweet combo: Sigarda, Host of Herons. City in a Bottle. Donate City in a Bottle. Play Desert. The game ends in a draw.

Anecdotally, the best sleeves you can get now are Dragon Shield Purples. I have never known one to split, and have seen them last 10 years. Not any of those other colors though, those are trash.

Kabanaw posted:You misunderstand what a mana ability is. A mana ability: An ability doesn't necessarily have to generate mana to be a mana ability. For example, Selvala's ability could generate no mana at all, but it's still a mana ability as long as it could potentially generate mana. There's also the additional restriction that triggered mana abilities must trigger off of a a mana ability. So, if you had a Wild Growth attached to a Witch Engine somehow, you could stifle the wild growth.

Mordieth posted:I love how he thinks you swords your own guys to gain life and that you randomly have 10 cmc spells in your deck (even without bob!) In hearthstone, curves are way higher, A control deck is like half 5cmc+. And, all the good bombs are ~10 mana. It's just a consequence of the difference between the mana system in magic and in hearthstone.

Fuzzy Mammal posted:It's not due to lazy programmers, it's because players complained about clicking yes a billion times. It made soul's attendant materially more annoying to play with than soul warden, for example. Now they're conscientious about triggers and prompts when designing new cards. I don't play modo, but forge has a thing where you can choose to "always accept" to a specific optional ability. Does that not exist in modo?

Well, what are you supposed to do when your opponent scoops up his cards without flipping a morph? Is it your fault for expecting him to know the rules and not reminding him ahead of time?

I don't think Goblin Tinkerer is all that good in legacy. It would probably be better in vintage, where mox monkey has a place.

Effectively, yeah. Most cases where you untap your lands can be justified with a combination of the comp rules rewind and the MTR out-of-order sequencing rule. Even if you tapped your lands before showing your opponent the card, it's generally assumed that you did it as part of casting the spell. So, when you take the spell back, you rewind to before you tapped your lands.

Chill la Chill posted:Layers system is a relic of old, bad game design and I'm glad when new systems don't have anything like it. It works well for what it does since this game is a working prototype but it really belongs in the forgotten grognards basement of clunky detailed rules design. Planes walker design fits in there too but unlike the wise decision of FFG to reboot the game with streamlined rules WOTC just keeps trudging on I can't really think of a better way to do layers. Layers are designed to make things seem intuitive. "Just do everything in timestamp order" is a much easier rule to remember, but it leads to strange things. Lots of games have something similar, but they aren't spelled out in the rules, and instead spread across disparate rulings for specific interactions. The other solution is to get rid of all of the continuous effects that can lead to confusing interaction, and just leave us with p/t modifiers and ability adding. But, that's getting rid of a large quantity of effects that exist in magic.

Concerning rebooting magic: The rules have changed dramatically a couple times. Old cards, and the interactions that go along with them are continuously rotating away. Magic is being constantly reinvented. It doesn't really need a messy hard reboot.Cernunnos posted:If you read magic threads enough you'll find that people will ragequit over just about anything. Magic was a great game before Mark Rosewater came along and killed it 18 years ago.

Keiya posted:Yeah, honestly the way gaining and losing evasion mid-combat works is FAR worse than layers. I lost a game to flipping up that guy with morph and unblockable thinking it'd let him through and it didn't... grr. That's actually a really simple rule. If they've already blocked him, then that's it, he's blocked. You can unmorph him before they block so they can't block it, but once he's blocked, that's it.

It works within the rules, but if they make that card, I'd imagine word of command would have to get an update to make it a lot shorter.

With something like that, as long as one mode has no legal targets, you can pick that mode, then you do a comp rules rewind to before they cast that spell, effectively making them unable to cast their charm.
