It's a worse somberwald sage but with better stats and a second ability that only denies flavor text. Oh well.

I'm so glad that the command that Narset can play is the one that is their choice of a worse Reviving Dose, a worse Absorb, or a worse Bone to Ash. The deck's hosed up enough as it is. It doesn't need more cool poo poo to flip for free.

Chamale posted:Why? If you counter a bomb, it's in the graveyard. If you Memory Lapse a bomb, they cast it again soon. I had my Phyrexian Arena lapse'd last night and let me tell you it ruined my tempo forever as the thing I cast to draw cards ended up being drawn twice, and my turn 3 vanished into the abyss. I wept and wailed but it was no use; it was turn 4 and I was in exactly the same shape, except my opponent now had the mana to dissolve my next play or electrolyze my elf. Memory Lapse is a turbo-fucker of tempo plays. it's, like, 4th place in terms of 2cmc counterspells, and that's only because the competition is a disgusting slideshow of reasons they never do that anymore.

Cernunnos posted:MegaMorph still makes a facedown 2/2. They just get a +1/+1 counter when they flip. Also a face-down card is a 2/2 regardless of how it's turned face-down, why it's face-down, or anything. To make Megamorphs be 3/3 would be to fundamentally change how face-down cards work.

Spiderdrake posted:I don't see how tribal is difficult to understand. What was the issue? I suppose it's that Tribal cards require other Tribal cards in order to be worth it. Both in the "we're bringing back this kind of obscure supertype" sense and in the sense that there have to be multiple ways to care about a creature type besides caring about creatures, which is really weird to do. It also doesn't make flavor sense sometimes: Diplomacy of the Wastes causes 2 damage if Obsidian Battle-Axe is on the battlefield, even though there's no one to wield it, as though the mere association of the axe with the profession is enough to chop someone. Diviner's Wand can be tapped to Azami or Patron Wizard. Clickslither can eat the abstract concept of Boggarts engaging in shenanigans. If they do, it's not something they can slap on two or three cards without it not making a whole lot of sense.

Big Ol Marsh Pussy posted:the problem with the dragonlords is the best use for those spots is to be big dumb edh cards but they aren't even really interesting to be your commander. like with silumgar, i like sower of temptation, but i've never said "gee, i wish sower could be my commander" If you don't see the value in a giant uncounterable Grand Abolisher with two keywords I think you just lack imagination.

Big Ol Marsh Pussy posted:He's a fine EDH card but a bad commander, like what's the point of him as your commander unless you specifically are trying to dick over the guy who brings Talrand every week, he's not an interesting buildaround. I mean Idk it's not like every legend has to be a cool commander but I feel like the dragonlords specifically should be cool commanders? Maybe I'm just weird I'm talking about French duel commander which is an actual cool format and which is very, very, very blue. At least half of a top 8 is instantly assured to be some combination of Tasigurs, Nins, Jenaras, Narsets, and Wydwens.

Zero_Grade posted:Interesting that that only adds 3 blocks onto MM1 (Alara, Zendikar, Scars). There's a fair amount of reprint-worthy stuff in there though, plus maybe core sets if they want to add Titans. Eldrazi, praetors, fetches, Goblin Guide, Batterskull, Swords, Phyrexian mana stuff, whatever was in Alara... Wonder what the draft archetypes will be. Just two, actually. Alara was in MM1. It had Maelstrom Pulse and Knight of the Reliquary, among other things.

mcmagic posted:Neither did Domri and it was still great and this in better colors and impossible to kill. Domri sees some Modern play, actually. Though getting back to the ostensible subject at hand, no I don't think Narset will cause decks with 30+ instants and sorceries to see play in Modern, and since that's her favorite kind of deck I don't think she'll get used so much Hero's Downfall becomes enough of an eternal format staple to break its current price.

mcmagic posted:There will be decks with 26 non creature spells, 4 snapcaster's and 4 narset's in modern. There is a reason she's selling for 50 bucks. A lot of people think she's good in multiple formats. You're a lot more optimistic about this card's usage than I, and that's... kind of weird. I still don't think this one archetype will cause Hero's Downfall's current price to be the lowest it'll ever be, though.

Angry Grimace posted:Its a semantic discussion borne of feigning ignorance over something that's easy to understand with more than 5 seconds of thought. He's also saying "Card is $50, therefore it is good," apparently seriously. That's being bad at card games and not understanding historical trends w/r/t planeswalker prices (Nissa WW is extremely unusual for pw prices hth). Then there's rules illiteracy.

What's the usual distribution of rarities in a set? I know mythic rares are 15 for a large set and 10 for small, but do the rest follow a pattern like that? How many commons to uncommons, that stuff.
