It also hates Devoid! Don't forget that the colorless mechanic and the colorless mechanic don't work well together. Which by extension gets Processors as all ingesters are devoid cards and nothing in true colorless below 7 mana exiles. {c}-cards are gonna have to do a lot of work to get over being bad with colorless cards. Converge is just part of it; Kozilek's Chaneller and Hedron Archive and Pilgrim's Eye are the only spells in BFZ that cost less than 6 mama and don't oppose colorless-only, because the rest are colored or punish colorless.

This is going to be dumb.

Has anything been said about C only paying for C costs and not being usable for generic costs? Because if not, you're overreacting.

So colourless is not "mana of any colour", right? Like BoP can't tap for it, I'm guessing?
Right, colorless is mana that's not one of the five colors. It can't be used to pay for colored costs, but it can be used to pay for generic costs (the numbers in mana costs)

Oath of the Gatewatch is the story of four planeswalkers - one green, one red, one blue, and one white making an Oath to fight the Eldrazi or some poo poo. There's no black planeswalker in the Oath.

The Oath Cycle from Exodus has 5 oaths, one green, one red, one blue, and one white and one black. The only one on the Reserved List is the black one.

Conclusion: Oath of Druids is in OGW. The foreshadowing is obvious guys.

They put Oath of Ghouls on the Reserve List?! WHY?!

It only triggers if the second colorless creature enters under your control.

(Why's the translation back to English so broken? Neither the Spanish text nor the usual English templating says "enter in battlefield".)

I can't even read Spanish and I was still able to find "enters the battlefield" in that textbox.

Lottery of Babylon posted:

I know the clause is there, I just want to know why the English translation words it so badly. The spanish text of that clause is "entre al campo de batalla" -- literally "enters to the battlefield", obviously best translated as "enters the battlefield". Then why does the given English translation say "enter in battlefield"? It's not like the spanish text says "entre en".

Oh, fair enough. I'd say it's probably due to good old fashioned incompetence, the same reason it says "P&T from that creature."

There is a cloud deck, but I thought the issue was that the combo takes an insane amount of time to play out online. Could be a good one in paper.

I think it's less than it takes time and more that it's monotonous. You have to click through every iteration of Ghostly Flicker/Cloud of Faeries/Mnemonic Wall.

The real answer is to ban Cloud of Faeries because that card is obnoxious as crap and allows that stupid Familiar deck, as well as Delver having 4 power worthof flyers and still leave up Spellstutter Sprite on turn 2.

Also a reminder that we're doing a MTGO Pauper Goon League! I have at least one entire spare deck and am like $8 short from having a 2nd, and other people have cards/decks to borrow too. So if you have an account but no deck we've got your covered.

I'm interested, but is MTGO still a steaming pile?

And do accounts still cost $10?

It turns out when you have a product that literally prints money, you don't have to invest money into improving it.

For all the problems MTGO has had and may or may not still have, it still lets people draft whenever they want and people will pay for that.
