I wonder how much other hideous Onslaught block art was due to overuse of digital manipulation?

Mercury Crusader posted:In Return to Tarkir, Renouned Weaponsmith becomes a planeswalker. He time-travels back to the days of the kingdom of Alaborn in the plane of Dominaria during Fate Reloaded. Then he spreads the use of firearms throughout Tarkir for the setting of Guns of Tarkir. In the second set of that block, Sarkhan and Ugin's children must team up to save the world from the NRA. That'll be the backdrop for Sons of Tarkir.

That feels so much more mythic than the random zombie lord. Protects itself, gains life, and shuts down blockers. Probably would be good in Block if that still existed.

It probably had Flying instead of Deathtouch but the artist heard "Raptor" and thought dinosaur instead of bird and they had to change the card to match the art.

Those are some terrible 'chops you got there, G-Man. Also that looks like such an awkward 3D render. e: it's the goofy lens flare.

Angry Grimace posted:
For seven mana, having a beefier Bogardan Hellkite that can't dome the opponent seems incredibly underwhelming. They could have just made it cost eight and deal five to each creature and planeswalker the opponent controls. Making creatures just have a large power and toughness doesn't make them feel mythic.

Starving Autist posted:While it can't dome the opponent, the bigger body plus trample somewhat makes up for that. Note that it can roast multiple planeswalkers, which is not something you often get to do with one card. I like that it turns on formidable all by itself, too. If you're paying seven mana, your five damage probably isn't going to roast multiple planeswalkers. They've either gone ultimate or have a ton of loyalty. Hell it doesn't even kill a Hornet Queen and tokens! The card would be decent and feel cool but not playable if it did eight damage. It can't target players. Five DA!age doesn't even kill several five mana creatures in standard which is just silly. It can't kill Surrak, new Sidisi, or Doomwake. The old Atarka felt more mythic.

So, the new Legacy Cube. Did they intentionally lower the power level? There are a LOT of completely nonsense cards in the new MTGO cube, that are basically just unplayable, but then there's also the Splinter Twin which seems waaaaay better than playing Vampire Interloper or Overrun. Good limited cards versus the best Modern combo seems like a poor matchup.

So they banned Cruise and left Cloud of Faeries? I mean I guess Familiar and Delver weren't good enough already, thanks for killing U/B Delve and weakening Kiln Fiend while leaving the strongest combo and strongest tempo decks around.

TheKingofSprings posted:Would Cabal Therapy be fair game as a card that could see a reprint, functional or otherwise, at some point in the future in Standard? I think Cabal Therapy is probably too good for Modern, but might be fine for Standard or if they want Modern to be 100% Abzan Hellscape forever. Therapy seems good in a format where Lingering Souls is playable.

Alaan posted:At this point you could fill a commander deck with nothing but repeat legends and still have some selection on which ones you use. Karona would have to be your commander since she is made up of two other legends plus some other schmuck, one of which has two versions as well! Both Phage and Akroma have two versions - Jeska/Phage, Akromas Angel of Wrath/Fury. Throw in Akroma's Memorial too. Add in Sword of Vengeance, equip it onto Akroma, Angel of Wrath.

I lived the dream: My opponent mulliganed to 5, kept a 1 lander, missed his second land drop three times and third another time, and I activated Vraska knowing they had Day of Judgment in hand from an early Gitaxian Probe. I could not resist. Angry Grimace posted:The client on MODO actually works fine, it just sucks if you don't have like 8 GB of RAM, e.g. my workstation before I upgraded it. I have 16GB and an i7-4790, it still is way slower and more unstable than it should reasonably be expected to be.

jassi007 posted:Yeah there are plenty of ways to break that card. It depends on what your goal is with a storm-like mechanic. You could make a more constructed playable version of sphinx-bone wand/shrine of burning rage maybe. Shrine of Burning Rage is already insane. Probably the third best cube card for red aggro decks, and if it were common I'd be running four in Pauper burn. It was even good in Standard, just not quite good enough against Delver/Caw Blade. Reprint Shrine please Wizards.

 Variance is a loving rear end in a top hat. Also I won this game - my opponent chumped my 4/4 with 3 creatures for no apparent reason in three turns while they were at 14, 14, and 10, and then drew green but I finally drew a spell. Thanks for throwing the game against an opponent on 4 spells 12 lands MTGO dude!

The Lord of Hats posted:Yeah, I went into that one with a pretty good idea that the takeaway would be "Hypergenesis is loving stupid", and my expectations were blown away. If they could only have one card in Modern banned, Hypergenesis would probably be it. Skullclamp by a mile, but Hypergenesis probably beats out the cantrips and the rest.

BattleCake posted:He also has probably the best attitude I've ever seen among any kind of gamer (TCG, Video game, and otherwise). I've seen a lot of people rage at MtG and other games so it's refreshing to see someone like LSV who takes losses and whatnot in stride with a positive attitude. I've even seen him be pretty happy when he loses to sweet plays, he just has a love of the game. The only times I've seen LSV unhappy were when the Ponder bug on MTGO turned a match win with a very sweet storm cube deck into a loss, and when one of the high-profile cheaters were doing something very terrible.
