Bugsy posted:Or open it back up so today's spoilers can get pasted in? That's something I asked about when the Elder Dragon line got called by someone last week. Doesn't it really only take 1,200 years for a Dragon to morph (*hur*hur*) into an Elder Dragon? Weak sauce, Wizards. Weak sauce. Also, the thread title should be "Magic: The Gathering Megathread - Elder Dragons Everywhere but Not a Single Playable" Calling it now. Past Silumgar is going to be the only one seen in tier 1 decks.

BJPaskoff posted:Is there a reason this doesn't say "creatures you control with flying have haste"? It's going to be annoying explaining to people that when they turn their manifested dragon face up, it doesn't gain haste. Well. If something is manifested or morphed, 9 times out of 10, it is going to be a turn or two before you flip it, anyway. It is only wierd corner cases where you Soul Summons a dragon face down with 6 more mana available and this already on the field.

Bread Set Jettison posted:Scrylands make it not a 50/50 chance? Really, though. Scrylands are only going to be in standard for another 6 months. I like her. She is going to soak up a lot of damage from aggro decks. She really is a noncreature-leaning version of Ashiok; a card I love anyway. So, I'm definitely going to try an Esper Walker brew after she comes out. I can see a slightly more mid-rangy Jeskai deck come out of the works with her, too, since she can dig for Ascendancy, and works well with a curve of Soulfire -> Hordeling Outburst -> Narset + convoke Stoke.

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. Edit: Think of this. Turn 1: Scryland Turn 2: Caryatid Turn 3: Narset (good luck killing her short of Downfall) Turn 4: End Hostilities Turn 5: (Rebound End Hostilities) Ajani/Nissa/Value Town Turn 6: Break face AlternateNu fucked around with this message at 00:37 on Mar 5, 2015 |

That into turn 3 Thunderbreak into turn 4 Stormbreath seems sweet as hell, although probably not reliable enough to really work. Four Dragonlord's Servant, four Generator Servant, and four Dragon Tempest. The rest of the deck is just beefy Dagrons and removal.

Angry Grimace posted:Megamorphling and Master of Waves themselves are a good enough combo to at least investigate, I think, although I'm pretty skeptical. There's always the option of just having a lot of annoying psuedo removal like Pin to the Earth/Encrust, etc. A lot of the power in the Mono-U deck really landed on Cloudfin Raptor. Being able to incrementally make an early flier huge was pretty big with regards to maintaining tempo. Mono-U was one of those decks where if you ever fell behind, you were going to lose. There were rarely any major tempo swings with that deck. And the creature base in this standard being so beefy, there isn't much of a chance the old deck comes back. Now, I can see a U/x deck coming around that has the Thassa/MoW/Megamorphling core, but it would likely be more midrangy. (Like everything in this standard.) Maybe Ephara can make a come back? She did see some play and interacts with Megamorphling's blink ability.

With everything being "Dagrons! Dagrons everywhere!!!!!!!  ", can we see some use for Fearsome Awakening? Jund Drago-Dredge with Neo-Kolaghan? Lots of self-mill, and suddently, a hasty flying 8/7 on turn 4. Plus, it allows you to bone mid-range decks that like running 4-ofs.

I don't know why they're using the past participle forms for their verbs instead of the simple past. Most German writing doesn't use the "haben + past-participle" form when talking about past events specifically because it takes up more space. That having been said, Dragon Blaze.  Great in limited. Useless in constructed with the possible exception of red agro that tops out at Thunderbreak Regent + Stormbreath. I would probably still rather run Roast, though. =\

mcmagic posted:I don't think Ultimate Price will see much play in maindecks and you're going to have to choose between it and self-inflicted wound for SB slots so I don't think these cards will be played all that much. It's not like WU is a T1 deck that everyone has to SB for now... People will maindeck Ultimate Price. Every deck has relevant threats that it can kill. Even the most multi-colored deck in the format, Abzan, has Tasigur, Courser, Wingmate Roc. And you can just side it out for that match. I'd say 2 mainboard, 2 sideboard for most black decks. It may even replace Bile Blight entirely unless token decks resurge for some reason.

Myriad Truths posted:I believe Hunt the Hunter sometimes shows up in Infect sideboards. I'm really surprised more Abzan decks aren't running Dark Betrayal in the side for the mirror. The trade off for only being able to hit Rakshasa Deathdealer, Anafenza, Tasigur, and Rhino is worth it for a 1-mana removal spell, in my opinion.

I think it's pretty much a given that tribal decks don't really work outside EDH when the tribe in question is made up of nothing but 4cmc+ creatures by design. That being said, I threw up a quick sketch for a mono-R Dagrons! deck in the Brewhaus thread if anyone is interested. There is so much incidental burn flying around (really, Dragon Roar is kind of nuts), I think it could work.

It seems like you could often just run them over by putting a ridiculous amount of hasty power on the board. Heelcutter, Strike Leader, OG Kolaghan, Warbringer, Mardu Scout, and Flamerush Rider are the premium dashers. If only you could copy Kolaghan with Flamerush. Even though, it is still value.
