So who killed Sidisi? Has that been explained? Are all the Khans going to be undead (or dead) besides Narset?

I'm pretty sure if Tasigur isn't an artifact in Dragons I'm going to cry irl. E: Tasigur the Bling - 4 2T: Turn your graveyard facedown, shuffle it, then put the top card into your hand.

Instead of Megamorph they should have added a third mechanic that allows you to play facedown cards and flip them. Make this block as complicated as possible.

Blanking their turn and their next draw is sometimes better than just blanking their turn. You gain tempo instead of just a straight 1-1 trade.

Rinkles posted:Wall chat got me to realize the Onslaught Wall of Mulch was a hideous photoshop edit of a painting (I thought it was a bad photoshop original). Actually I'd be willing to bet that the M15 version looks better because of Photoshop. For them to have gotten the Onslaught version from the "original painting" they would have literally had to go in and add things that weren't there like the spikes in the mulch and the shadow on the overhanging leaf. I don't know Wizard's art policy but I'm guessing they just tweak maybe color and contrast a little if anything, and don't full on add poo poo that wasn't there. What more likely happened is that an artist got better in the 12 year period between Onslaught and M15 and when they requested the art again (not sure how they store files) the artist digitally repainted it with more skill and modern Photoshop that looks more like real painting. Sorry, Photoshop is one of my trigger words.

Rinkles posted:"I was told to make a wall of forest detritus and man-made odds and ends. Later somebody went around my AD and got some poor dude in Production to mutilate it in Photoshop. Thus the illustration you see here and the card don't quite match. That's serious bullshit that Wizards straight altered it. I would have demanded they remove my credit. I hope their policy is better now.

Spiderdrake posted:I love rk post's artwork to bits but that's not really a good example of them ruining one of his pieces. I'm not really sure why the original seems to be framed around the troll doll on her shoulder, for one. Offcentering your subject is an extremely basic compositional technique. Also it lets the wings look more impressive.

Angry Grimace posted:My thought: If there's a Mardu Midrange Dragons deck, its not gonna be playing this. Its gonna be playing Kolaghan-1, probably as a 1 or 2 of to blow opponents out. Yeah, that's fair. It wouldn't be an awful finisher if Grixis control were to become a thing. It'd be way cooler if it was all spells and not just creatures or walkers, though. Hero's Downfall already in the grave? Fuuuuuck yooooou.

Count Bleck posted:You gotta play around the fact that while it's on board you can't play poo poo that got murdered. Not too hard I guess? I mean common sense should say that it's not going to hurt much to not crack a fetchland by turn 6 so you're just paying 6 mana for a 4/4 flying trampler that can potentially get bigger, which isn't very good at all.

Has anyone commented on how loving awful the Narset art is? It looks like some deviant art comic book fan drawing. Especially after that art they posted and took down that looked planeswalkery and way better. Guess we know what the grand prize will be for getting the most dragon dice points at prerelease. E: I looked up the artist and all of his other cards are great. I don't know why he seems to have lost his sense of perspective/anatomy for Narset. Those arms. mr. mephistopheles fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Mar 4, 2015 |

Angry Grimace posted:Does it though? Seems like in a lot of control games, they'll have wiped your board on turn 5 and then have single target removal waiting on their turn 6, in which case Dromoka has done nothing. Just that card on its own? No. In a Bant superfriends deck that wipes will essentially be pointless against? Yes.

Zendikar was the set that got me back into the game after not playing since Weatherlight and it was a really fun block with some cool mechanics, but I feel like it was pretty lame and generic flavor-wise. I kinda wish they just said the Eldrazi destroyed Zendikar and continued that story on a new plane with more flavor than "generic adventure plane" and especially so after seeing the list of all the themed planes they want to do, all of which sound way cooler than a return to Zendikar. Like it's way more exciting seeing how goblins and merfolk and stuff change appearance based on the theme of the plane they're on than having the regular old versions. Meh, excited to see Landfall and enemy manlands at least. And lol at people who said all ten fetches in the same standard would be too much and they'd never do it.

Xir posted:I am looking forward to the enemy manlands as well. I'm hoping the return to Zendikar shows it as a nightmare world, eldrich horrors pouring from the seams. Then point Zendikar as the Eldrazi home base at New Phyrexia and have a battle royale to determine which force of evil will rule supreme. Okay that sounds pretty awesome. I hope they go balls out on the Lovecraft elements.

Dohaeris posted:I'm working on a Sultai Control deck and so far it's coming along nicely. Still need to hunt down 4 decently priced Temple of Malady, and maybe an extra Garruk or Ugin. Apparently everyone is running Thoughtseize though, which is rather expensive. I've got one, do I really need to drop 60 bucks on three more? Can Despise function as a decent substitute? Planning to try to go to a Standard event sometime next week for the first time. You're complaining about the price of Thoughtseize, a card that is going to be playable forever and will never dip in price while talking about buying four of a crazy overpriced land that is going to be like a tenth of its current price the second it rotates out of standard? Your priorities seem askew. I think Despise is better than it gets credit for and will see some play at rotation, but not being able to grab spells is huge. I play Sultai control and I just use the one Malady I opened myself and sub the rest with the UB and UG temples because those are only like a buck, which is what they should be and I never have mana issues.
