It's possible that specific deck becomes crap, but all the rares are powerful and versatile enough that I would be surprised if they didn't see play for the entire lifetime of this Standard. That said, I think the answer on which to do depends on if you'd rather draft or sealed or whatever with some friends or assemble a Standard deck.

All of those races were on Dominaria at some point, although I don't think we've seen efreeti since Mirage block and Jamuraa is phased out. I don't think we ever saw naga, though.

redstormpopcorn posted:If you don't separate your lands at least by basic/non-basic, you need to be put down like the rabid mongrel you are. I don't, I separate my lands by what type of mana they tap for. So like, I might have a pile of mountains, a pile of forests, and a pile of stomping grounds/copperline gorges.

HMS Boromir posted:I'm not sure what a tempo deck is, though, unless it actually is just "aggro, but you play bounce spells" A tempo deck is basically another name for aggro-control I think; basically, you want to play efficient creatures and spells and try to control the game until you manage to kill them.

ShaneB posted:I'm a player getting back into the game after 19 years, and I wasn't at all serious back when I was a teen playing 4E/Ice Age. I have a few questions about card storage: 1) Some R/M cards are worth a lot, but most aren't. I sleeve all my decks(including in Limited) because I prefer shuffling sleeved decks, but it's not important. 2) Yes, you may want to keep R/M separate, either to trade or to sell back to the store. 3) C/U foils are next to worthless except for a few rare cases, which generally consist of those which are Legacy(Type 1.5) playable.

MiddleEastBeast posted:I know it's not their primary focus, but I wonder how much Wizards tested Treasure Cruise in eternal formats prior to setting the final mana cost and how much they wish they could bump it up to 9U or 10U now - and I can't even tell if that would make much of a difference. I think the way Wizards sees it is that Eternal formats can handle new, influential cards, and if they can't, well, that's what the B&R lists are for.

Asphyxious posted:Villainous Wealth seems really, really good, am I missing something here? Like is it you only have a mana pool of X to cast spells from or could you literally cast every card if X is high enough? And creatures cast this way are under your control? http://www.starcitygames.com/php/news/print.php?Article=8988 This is a good article for the problem with a card like overrun(or, possibly, villainous wealth; I haven't played with or against it enough to cast judgement). Basically it doesn't do anything early on and what it does when you cast it is super inconsistent. Yes, you hit all those good cards, but you could have also hit like 3 lands, a mana elf, and some other marginal spell or something. I wouldn't be surprised to see Wealth see Constructed play, but I'd expect it to be more of a Genesis Wave style of deck, where the goal is to cast it for comically large numbers.

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:True, but I think if ever a card deserved an emergency ban, that was it. What an absolutely absurd card. What were they thinking? urzasblock.txt Seriously though, the reason Jar needed an emergency ban isn't because it was so much more powerful than, say, Tolarian Academy, but it was because people were leaving the game after Urza's Saga and they wanted to nip that in the bud. Maro has said multiple times that the CEO of wotc called R&D into his office to yell at them during Urza's and that's the only time it's happened.

Does Skullclamp become unequipped next time you check state-based effects, or does it happen before that?

Start with Sealed, not draft. Draft is more fun for most players once you're experienced, but without an understanding of what your deck needs it can be frustrating.

muon posted:Something I've been wondering: pre-NWO, how rare heavy were competitive standard decks? It definitely seems like there's very few constructed playable cards in the C/UC slot, and I'm curious if that's always been the case or if it's due to designing for limited. Very deck dependent. Like, UG Madness had basically no rares at all except for duals, but something like Kamigawa/Ravnica era control was stuffed with rares.
