If they were going to errata colorless mana to produce this ♦, why would they print a card like Kozilek's Channeler in the set preceding OGW? Anyway, I doubt this leak is real, most probably someone just got a hold of the art and slapped together some cards. New players would absolutely not get this new mana symbol (it's a color like the other ones but colorless? what?), and it would introduce a lot of new complexity for very little gains.

haha dude at gp has a teferi out and casts a keranos at his main phase instead of flashing it in at his opponents end step, opening him up to path to exile and celestial purge and whatnot. i know everyone makes especially after a long day, but it's interesting to see that this kind of stuff happens at the top tables

I think this will be very hard to explain to certain casual players, that's my biggest concern with the mechanic. It will probably be easier to explain to someone who has never played magic before, but to people who play very occasionally it might be tough.

Could be. Either way this is no big deal. Another thing that irks me about this is that it came out with in a small set, so when you draft, you'll have stuff like Kozilek's Channeler, who adds (2) to your mana pool and then some other thing from OGW that adds {C}{C}. This just seems very inelegant.

That's why they use "If it doesn't have suspend, it gains suspend" in some cards to avoid that.

Holy poo poo Reality Smasher looks busted. I've been testing that mono black modern eldrazi deck and the deck owns owns owns, it just eats every fair deck up and has a lot of game against a lot of combo decks too. Anyway it looks like it'll be great in that deck. A turn 3 5/5 haste that protects itself, what's not to like

Entropic posted:Is that a list for that up somewhere? What's it useing for mana acceleration? I based my list off of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a20KP-ozNTc I cut the slaughter pacts for a night's whisper and a go for the throat, and added some darkblasts and ruin processors to the sideboard (the ruin processors could very well be wrong). This deck eats up any kind of midrange deck and laughs at tasigurs, goyfs and snapcasters. The discard gives it game against combo decks, the fetchable ghost quarters give you game against tron. Burn/zoo is tough and so is affinity and merfolk, but they don't feel like unwinnable matchups. You can sometimes draw the wrong half of your deck, but that only matters against decks with a fast clock. You can splash white or red, but I think the consistency of having 4 urborgs and 4 eye of ugin in the mono black version is the way to go. Also yeah, Reality Smasher is going to give it extra game against a lot of decks.

Not to mention that they have access to decklists, so you can always say "The Griselbrand that's in his deck" just in case there was a new version of Griselbrand printed that you missed out on or something. Honestly this is pretty funny, I don't know why people are getting so worked up about it.

I was testing an eldrazi aggro build and I just had the most funny nut draw ever: Turn 1: Eye of Ugin, 2x Eldrazi Mimic Turn 2: Eldrazi Temple, Thought-Knot Seer, take a card from opponent's hand and attack for 8 Turn 3: Ghost Quarter, Reality Smasher, attack for 19

Sure. This is a very rough draft and it probably needs a lot of work, but the idea is to have curve-outs like those as often as possible. Not sure about Oblivion Sowers since they don't really ramp you into anything much, but I like it that they're 5/8s and you can often cast a sower, get some lands and then cast another eldrazi in the same turn. 4 Matter Reshaper 4 Reality Smasher 4 Thought-Knot Seer 4 Eldrazi Mimic 4 Inquisition of Kozilek 4 Relic of Progenitus 1 Expedition Map 2 Oblivion Sower 4 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth 2 Dismember 3 Eye of Ugin 2 Cavern of Souls 4 Ghost Quarter 4 Eldrazi Temple 3 Swamp 2 Warping Wail 2 Mind Stone 4 Blight Herder 3 Caves of Koilos SB: 2 Flaying Tendrils SB: 2 Ratchet Bomb SB: 2 Darkblast SB: 4 Vampiric Link SB: 1 Pithing Needle SB: 2 Tectonic Edge SB: 1 Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger SB: 1 Duress

TheKingofSprings posted:I can't figure out how to incorporate Thought Knot Seer into the Eldrazi deck. I think it goes in Mono-B best but I'm not sure? This is my build, I think it's working pretty great so far. You just can't lose against any type of non-aggro, non-combo deck. You can get some clunky draws, but that was possible before too. 4 Oblivion Sower 4 Blight Herder 1 Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger 4 Wasteland Strangler 4 Inquisition of Kozilek 4 Relic of Progenitus 2 Scrabbling Claws 2 Dismember 2 Go for the Throat 2 Mind Stone 3 Expedition Map 4 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth 3 Eye of Ugin 4 Eldrazi Temple 4 Ghost Quarter 1 Bojuka Bog 7 Swamp 4 Thought-Knot Seer 1 Kozilek, the Great Distortion SB: 2 Ruin Processor SB: 2 Pithing Needle SB: 1 Ratchet Bomb SB: 2 Thoughtseize SB: 1 All Is Dust SB: 2 Flaying Tendrils SB: 2 Night of Souls' Betrayal SB: 2 Vampiric Link SB: 1 Tomb of the Spirit Dragon

It's something to do on turn 2 and it can cycle later if you are flooded. You have a lot of 5 drops and 6 drops, and sometimes you don't draw the best combination of lands (because you can't run 8 eldrazi temple), so it can just give you that 5th or 6th mana one turn earlier. You can also play scrabbling claws and relic of progenitus off of it the turn you play it.

Yeah there's drafts.in, etc. I'm interested why someone who opens up a lot of mtgo packs doesn't just record what's in them, that way I think it would be possible to get a good approximation of the collation of the packs (i.e. the print runs).

Yeah like anyone is surprised. It's been obvious for a long time that while their stated stance is that they don't care about the secondary market, they actually do. They reprint chase cards sparingly so that they can sell more packs down the road.

They could maybe do a rule like "if an ability from the day side of a DFC would cause it to transform to its day side, nothing happens instead". The game tracks permanents as sources of abilities, so something like this could work, I think?

Even then they didn't just come out and say "Memory Jar is now banned", but they announced that it would be banned in a month or something. The B&R dates makes it so players know they'll get to play with their cards for at least some time, instead of having their decks banned just as they're going to take them to FNM or a larger event.
