Man that's a disappointing thread title after the last one. I hope most of the Mythic Dragons end up at $2 like the Mythic Khans so I can pick them up for nothing. Same for the Not-Khans.

mr. mephistopheles posted:Even the unplayable multi color gods are like $10. I think they're popular casual cards. Karametra and Ephara are like $1, and Kruphix is like $2.50. The rest are like $5 except Keranos who see's actual play and is $10-12. Athreos is just a weird outlier. I wish my Karametra and Kruphix were worth $10.

If we get a bunch more dragons with "Whenever a dragon creature you control..." I'll really want to see some kind of Dragon-Ramp strategy. Probably Temur with Ascendancy and Dragon Tempest as sources of Haste for your dragons and Rattleclaw Mystics for color fixing ramp. I know it'd be awful but I'd still love to see it.

Pre-release boxes are going to two color I'd guess so good chance for that to be one of the RG promo's. Nope. That's Kolaghan's watermark. The breathing Lightning was also a clue Maybe the BR box will have it though.

I almost don't want to see what they put on Silumgar's Command. Ojutai's is good but not breaking the bank like Cryptic was. I get the feeling Silumgar's might come close.

rabidsquid posted:Remanding your own spell in a counter war is kind of fun, especially if its being countered by something with value like Cryptic or a Flusterstorm you could never beat. At the Open this past weekend we saw a stack of: Goyf > Opposing Remand targeting Goyf > Remand targeting Goyf > Opposing Remand targeting first Opposing Remand. That was a little bizarre to watch and also kinda impressive.

rabidsquid posted:I once splashed an INDEX and a Jace Memory Adept in R/B off of literal two islands, but this was 4 pack sealed where Memory Adept may be the most powerful limited card in any format, and where I was more likely to be rewarded for my extreme greed. I was. Jace Memory Adept is nuts in Limited yeah. Similarly Sword of Body and Mind. Anything that says Mill 10 and can be easily repeated is stupid good. We had a guy passed Jace pack 3 in a Chaos Draft (everyone picks any 3 packs) at our store and we all just  at the guy who passed it to him.

Foils do weigh more than regular cards but we're talking fractions of grams here. Unnoticeable to a human scaling by hand. Maybe you have a gift?

Starving Autist posted:Random thought: In Tempest Remastered, I hope they print Portcullis as a mythic. That card was an insane limited bomb, though not unbeatable since it requires that you be ahead on board when you play it, and it's hard but not impossible to get around it (for example with creature removal). They seem to be pretty good at balancing Limited only environments (mostly, putting Battle Screech at Common in VMA, down from Uncommon in Judgement, is probably their biggest miss from what I've heard) so if it's in the set it'll probably be at an appropriate rarity.

Angry Grimace posted:The order of cards by color and type always stays the same and is listed in alphabetical order. Basic lands are numbered separately from nonbasic lands and put at the very end (there are always 3 of each basic in large sets). Therefore, if Evolving Wilds is 249/264, there aren't any non-basics after it. That doesn't exclude nonbasics alphabetically before Evolving Wilds. Though it does exclude the Enemy Fetches.

When we get the Arcana article that tells us how many Basics are in the set (or any article showing a non-basic in a slot we expected a Basic, like #252 or something) we'll know (roughly) how many non-basics are in the set but until then it's all wild speculation.

Irony Be My Shield posted:It's in red though, which doesn't usually get that kind of mana ramp. That into turn 3 Thunderbreak into turn 4 Stormbreath seems sweet as hell, although probably not reliable enough to really work. You either end up playing that guy T2 and curve out or play Dragon Tempest T2 and give your T4 Thunderbreak Haste and get some extra damage in.

I would run 4-of Zurgo over my Firedancers honestly. I'm gonna miss Crowd's Favor more than Foundry Street Denizen when M15 rotates personally. Also Satyr Hoplite, Titan's Strength, Dragon Mantle, Hammerhand, and Coordinated Assault. Man my whole Sligh deck dies to rotation. I'll have to build a deck with a curve and poo poo.

Starving Autist posted:I don't understand spanish beyond a couple words, but google translates the flavor text as "was tortured by honoring their ancestors; now walks among them" which maybe means she was just experiencing internal conflict over the ancestor worship stuff that Dromoka isn't cool with? I think it may be in reference to the old Anafenza maybe? So far she's the only previous Khan to have Flavor Text so it's difficult to say what they were going for. Also Narset is ruining my plans to collect all the Khans and Dragonlords on the cheap.

Entropic posted:I'm watching the replay, and is it just me, or is the commentary way better this GP? Do you mean "SCG's commentary is better than Wizards' commentary" or do you mean "the commentary on this SCG hosted GP is better than their previous GP" (Orlando I think?)? The former is because Wizards' commentators are (mostly) just bad, and the latter may have to do with the format they're commentating on. Standard is kinda Cedric and Patrick's deal at this point so they know its in and outs pretty well but Orlando was a Limited GP.
