qbert posted:No. Clash packs have nothing to do with card legality in Standard. There were some cards that weren't in the last core set that are currently legal, where did they come from? Like I know Serra Angel and Sengir Vampire are legal right now but not in M15 or Theros or Khans.

Santheb posted:I don't have either of those cards on hand unfortunately and my phone auto corrected me into posting that we can have two duplicate rares. What I meant was two non duplicate rates :/ Ad Nauseam and Tendrils of Agony are both singletons. Deck would be a little more sketchy without the tutors in Pauper but it runs a good amount of cantrips.

UW control needs a 2 CMC creature so that one of the modes isn't dead. Unfortunately yet again Wizards chooses to callously leave Wall of Omens out of Standard. edit: vv Mana Leak isn't unconditional, and there are actually a ton of blue spells in the same vein as it. rabidsquid fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Mar 3, 2015 |

Also it isn't even the coolest green wall!! edit: Wall chat what is every best wall for every color.

Black doesn't have a lot of choices and they're really predicated on creature type, which makes it a neck and neck race between the Snake Wall and the Skeleton Wall. Red has no walls that are interesting in any way, so I guess Wall of Stone gets the nod for being old and somewhat iconic for walls.

Rinkles posted:My pet black wall would be a 1/1 flying deathtouch defender for B. A fetid rat corpse strapped to a balloon as art. That would be a good wall, there aren't enough rats with flying in MTG, or enough balloons, and that would really tick off a lot of boxes.

Serperoth posted:Well yeah, Bat is a separate creature type... A rat flying via unnatural means doesn't just become a bat. They are mundane but separate rodents. Edit: We can check off even more boxes if we make a Rat Flinger creature who creates tokens of flying rats that die EOT.

Spiderdrake posted:Eh, Remand rates ahead when you draft storm since the tempo is the important part of the counter, and the lost card can be pretty huge. 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.

mcmagic posted:Yeah but it's going to be less focused around the FRF rares just because it's the 3rd pack. There are going to be some number of times when you open a Citidel Siege or a Dramoka and not be able to play it. The most fun part of limited is a really irresponsible splash for a one of you probably shouldn't have drafted.

Nehru the Damaja posted:I once double splashed for Olivia Voldaren into a UW deck. It was the right move. She won all sorts of games better mana or another spirit wouldn't have. Also I guess it let me flashback Forbidden Alchemy. 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. Angry Grimace posted:I doubt its all that irresponsible with guaranteed fixing in every FRF pack and the first two packs not being tri-color stuff. If you have proper fixing that's not really a splash, that's just your deck.

Cernunnos posted:Jace Memory Adept is nuts in Limited yeah. Similarly Sword of Body and Mind. I actually forgot about Sword which comes down much sooner, but has to get a hit in. Tough call. Anything with a repeatable mill 10 in a 30 card deck format is ridiculous though. Imagine a 5 mana PW with 0: Target player gains 4 poison counters. Because it's basically that in 4 pack. I think it edges out Drana and Olivia Voldaren as the most unbeatable limited bombs I have ever played with. At least in 4 pack.

That means for the lucky few who saw this coming, they saved $60 over the ones who for whatever reason really needed a full playset and bought in at the high price. edit: Also I don't know anyone who gets full dealer value on like in print cards, but everyone talks like they do so I guess that must be a thing somewhere. rabidsquid fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Mar 4, 2015 |

Angry Grimace posted:I preordered Sorin, Solemn Visitor for $10.50, because everyone tried to argue he sucks for not being as good as Sorin, Lord of Innistrad (a totally irrelevant card to the conversation). I sold those off for 30 bucks value (I actually traded them for Elspeth's + cards at that value) and then acquired more when they were 10 bucks again. By the time he was done trading, he bought a huge house and two vintage decks, all from a $42 investment!

Snacksmaniac posted:I hope it shows up on buylists. I have like 12. If it is rampant speculation, which seems most likely, it will be impossible to move at the inflated price but will hold price memory and never see any movement at the goofy temporary inflation. Remember when River of Tears and Secluded Glen were "$25"?

AlternateNu posted:Really. I could see WUG Walkers that is just a reversion to the earlier Walker decks pre-Khans. Caryatid/Courser core with Ajani (Mentor), Narset, Elspeth, and Nissa. That sounds pretty loving scary, honestly. Outside of block constructed I don't think we've seen a superfriends deck since 5 mana Gideon was using his Royal Assassin powers on Birds of Paradise. I don't think we are ever going to again.

That's just kind of a staple of Zombie cards and probably just a nod to flavor.Spiderdrake posted:I don't know how to evaluate that card. His abilities feel at cross-purposes. I really wish he wasn't a lord and had some form of evasion instead, but maybe he'll be sweet. The lord ability and the cast from the graveyard ability seem to be at slight odds with one another, but it sort of feels like one half is aimed at constructed and the other limited, which is interesting.

Angry Grimace posted:I forced a guy to play out his Temur Ascendancy combo on MTGO. It took him literally 10 minutes to execute it (I already won game 1). He never even managed to even get his kill - he ran out of time as he was lining up a huge Nylea strike. For anyone not familiar with MTGO it doesn't matter who won game 1 here, if you run out of clock you lose.
