AATREK CURES KIDS posted:Don't worry, she won't hold a price much higher than that. Certainly not enough for you to profit. Yeah. Even in the Jeskai decks, she is only a one or two-of (assuming she is in the decklist at all). She won't breach $4-5.

mcmagic posted:How much did you pay? They are still ridiculous on ebay... $106 including tax. My LGS gets one box of Russian, one box of Korean, and a couple boxes of Japanese with their normal initial orders, and I was lucky enough to swoop in and reserve the Russian box before anyone else was able to.

Not necessarily what we are looking for, but I would be interested in seeing something like the following: Planar Bound (This card cannot be exiled from the battlefield.)

Carrasco posted:The problem with that is if Rest in Peace is on the battlefield, when a "Planar Bound" creature receives lethal damage or has toughness < 1, the game just hangs up repeatedly trying to execute a state-based effect that can't happen. Yeah, but that can just be "common sense" (I do hate that phrase) embedded into the keyword effect like Bestowed lets the card stay on the field as a creature if the target is destroyed before the Bestow effect resolves.

JerryLee posted:It's interesting how the whole bluff value of morph plummets like a rock in Constructed for pretty much exactly the reason you stated. In Limited it's interesting because one morph could be a 3/1 and the other a 4/4 lifelinker so which one are you gonna burn when they're tapped out? The problem is that constructed level morphs would generally be absolutely busted in limited, so they couldn't make more than a few, and it would only add a bit of guessing in standard if they made several of them the same color. Two random items: how long has it been since a set has had neither dragons nor angels printed in it? And has anyone play tested an Agent of Fates deck yet? It seems with all the cheap removal gone, it gets ridiculously better. Imagine a Sentesen Tactics that annihilates 3 creatures with a single Agent out.

Lets Pickle posted:New rares in multiple decks in the top 8: I like how there are more Sorin being played than Sarkhan. Wingmate Roc is an interesting multiple of, but I think even minor swarm with anything over 3 toughness is going to be a boon for any deck moving forward. Overall, the amount of variety is fantastic. Sure, there is lots of Jeskai, but they're all wildly different than one another, I would be surprised if the deck settles into a standard form before Fate Reforged is released.

En Fuego posted:Faced it yesterday. Was wrecking face til they kept dropping Whip of Erebos. UGH Do you remember how many black sources they were running? 4 of each Caryatid/Llanowar Wastes/Temples and a Tomb of Yawgmoth seem like a decent enough chance to get double black by turn 6 or so. Plus, you can just cheat it out with Genesis Hydra which is baller.

I'm sure if you took that picture and blew it up to its native resolution like Gild, it would look like the most flat, low effort, piece of poo poo robot. Just be glad it isn't in motion or it would look like a bad Alpha Centauri cutscene.

Random Standard Point: Is it just me, or is Flamespeaker Adept looking like a ridiculously good choice for 3 drop now despite no one running it? It has 3 toughness, so it can't be drowned, jetted, or sprayed, and there are a plethora of red scry effects in use now (primarily Titan's Strength and your own jets, but also loving Spite of Mogis and Bolt of Keranos which no one is running for some reason despite the lack of good removal now). Then you get scry lands. The first strike is killer since no one has first strikers right now. Any scry effect lets it safely attack into Brimaz, Courser, Stormbreath Dragon, and Wingmate Roc, and it kills Rhinos with a single Magma Jet. Seriously, I could see a deck that is basically: 4 x Monastery Swiftspear 4 x Seeker of the Way 4 x Sigiled Skink 4 x Flamespeaker Adept 4 x Magma Jet 2 x Bolt of Keranos 4 x Titan's Strength 2 x God's Willing 2 x Spite of Mogis 4 x Chained to the Rocks 4 x Lightning Strike 1 x Fated Conflagration 4 x Temple of Triumph 4 x Mana Confluence 4 x Battlefield Forge 9 x Mountain And you get more good White cards for your sideboard against larger or more controlling decks. Edit: After thinking for a bit, you could probably loving splash Shivan Reefs and Temples of Epiphany for Treasure Cruise (over Dig Through Time), a couple Aqueous Form, and some of the better Jeskai cards.

Jabor posted:Why would I pay three mana for three damage at sorcery speed when I can get the same thing at instant speed for 2? Scrying is good, but not that good. The idea is to play both since 3 is a pretty big threshold right now for creature destruction.

Rules question: There is a round of priority between First Strike damage and normal damage, right? Like if any effects trigger upon damage being dealt (or gaining life off a lifelinked first striker), you can react to it, right?

Zemyla posted:You can't remove first strike from a creature or give them double strike to allow them to hit again at this point, however. But you can ninjutsu a creature with first strike and give the ninja a whack at them too. Yeah. I was asking primarily about Altac Bloodseeker. If a first striker takes out an opponent's guy, she still gets the +2/+0, but it will be dealt as normal damage. Interesting with the above quote, you can give a creature double strike, they will just have missed their chance to get first strike damage in. If they were originally a first striker, they will have been considered having already completed their attack for that battle phase and thus won't trigger normal damage.

Entropic posted:Ooh, I just noticed Hybrid Mana is back. Looks like they're just using it for effects, not mana costs. So, no new devotion shenanigans. As for the new setting, it looks like we'll be seeing the predecessors of each of the 5 khans each being their clan's primary color with a hybrid effect that runs off the clan's ally color. We were all bitching about color pie violations earlier. It's nice to see green get treason on a stick that is better than red's treason on a stick.

qbert posted:I disagree. Jen clearly built his deck taking that card into account. It only takes a single instant to protect all his non-Crusader/token creatures against that card. Sure, you've killed his 1/1 and the tokens it made, but it's a situational board wipe at best. Yeah. I think Cedric was overstating how useful Doomwake Giant was in the G/B match up. They saw him combo out with no board on turn 5 after dropping an ascendancy. The board wipes are just a hindrance since he can go off late game out of no where. I honestly think the sub sligh style decks would be best against it because they hit hard, fast, and can pressure him to chump block early game. It is obvious that durdly Courser decks have a bad match up against this thing due to how little their early walls matter.

Zoness posted:My hands are too small to mash shuffle but horizontal riffles are easy enough, even with double sleeved cards. I generally split my EDH deck into two 50-ish card piles. Riffle shuffle the top halves of both piles together. Repeat for the bottom halves. The two newly shuffled piles become your new 50-ish card piles. Repeat this process 4 - 5 times. If it is an in-game shuffle, I'll probably just do a quick mash and have my opponents do a multi-layered cut.

Hyper Crab Tank posted:On the topic of blue, how many mono-blue heroes are there? I'm trying to think of blue values that gel well with heroism, but I can't think of any. Blue more than any other color seems to be preoccupied with understanding, puzzling out and subtly manipulating than actually going out and performing heroic feats. Blue feels too passive for that. That inward focus seems to be something blue shares with black. I would probably say Sun Quan is a hero. Maybe? Venser has a mono-U card, but he's been shown to really be U/W. Arcum Dagsson?

Sure, I'll hop on the deck train: Standard: B/W good stuffs. Similar to the list Brad Nelson played a couple weeks ago. I cut the lands down by one and diversified the removal suite and walker compliment a little. It is amazingly consistent and has so much life gain that I can damage race pretty much every deck out there. Modern: I technically don't have the deck fully built, but I have all the expensive parts to modern burn. I just need a couple Grim Lavamancers and most of the pre-Innestrad commons. Legacy: gently caress that noise. Give me a free mana base, and I'll think about it. EDH: Jor Kadeen and Muzzio, Visionary Architect. Jor is my"70%" deck for when I don't expect to go against super try-hard decks. Muzzio is my A-tier and for me, is more of a game of how many artifacts can I poo poo out by the time the group hates me out than anything else. It is near impossible to play politics with the deck and still have it do it's thing. Fun poo poo, though.

I would say, in general, control decks require a player to know their opponent's deck more than an aggro deck. Aggro decks requires a player to know their own deck more.
