It's not like people don't have a million other formats to play, plus local metas don't have quite as many eldrazi players, so who cares.

I imagine that's quite an anomaly, I've heard that most local metas aren't quite as dominated by eldrazi. My local meta is very competitive, but only 2 players are on eldrazi (and I played it before OGW). People just don't want to buy into a deck that they know will get banned.

Sickening posted:To be able to play your broken deck you do that at the expense of everyone else. I guess if you have a warped point of view of things that might be okay for you. I would just prefer a healthier meta myself and I hope the majority would agree.

I don't mind having two months of a deck being broken every now and then if it means that R&D make powerful and cool new cards that affect modern. I remember about the time BFZ came out everyone was complaining about them not printing cards powerful enough for modern. So decide what you want I guess? Modern does need some good control cards, so that the next time something broken comes out the meta has tools to adapt instead of having to ban stuff again.

They aren't, but I'm saying that you can't complain about wizards not printing impactful modern cards and then expect the format to never get broken. It happens, and I'd much rather they ban the occasional Treasure Cruise rather than plying it too safe when making new cards

Yeah, that's the big problem of modern in my opinion. They need to print some good control cards and other answer cards to give it a good foundation, but they can't really do that because of standard.

patrick is really awesome (cedric too), I'd watch born of the gods limited if those two guys were doing the commentary. the fact that it's modern and that modern is great right now is even better. they should invest in some better lights for the venue though, it's really dark on the stream.

C-Euro posted:There's some dope art in this set. Also where was Worldgorger Dragon revealed so I can laugh at it? Yeah, some of the art in this set is really great, but some of it is also the kind of bad you can usually find only in these reprint sets. Diminishing Returns and Daze are horrible, and Nimble Mongoose is also very plastic looking.

Mythic is a strange beast, because if WotC put expensive cards in at mythic, people will complain because the price will still remain high. On the other hand, if they put cheap cards at mythic, people will also complain. To me it seems better if more expensive cards are at rare instead of mythic, seeing how you have a much smaller chance of opening a mythic.

Most of the cards you want to discard in dredge are creatures though: Vengevine, Bloodghast, Gravecrawler, Amalgam, Grave Troll and Stinkweed Imp. Don't think it will replace it. I've moved away from Lothlet Troll though, I prefer Stitchwing Skaab because it works while it's in the graveyard.

It's only very expensive if you want to compete at a really competitive level. Otherwise, it's just kind of pricey. You can play very casually for dirt cheap, or if you do a draft at FNM every week, it doesn't cost you a fortune either. That being said, they really should reprint tournament cards a little more aggressively.

Get some masking tape and then use a cotton swab to apply acetone to the black border. When tron was big in my LGS, I made myself a playset of white bordered molten rains to combat it.

I could see this seeing play in vintage. Tap a bunch of moxen for mana, bounce them and a snapcaster back, maybe a revoker, draw a bunch of cards, replay them again and have a new hand and a really big storm count.

That card is just very bad, in the sense that it's not even exciting for a casual player. I may be wrong, but even a casual player would think wtf, why would my opponent get to choose first?

Ponder would be a good unban. The argument against it is that it would just enable combo, but the only real combo deck it might put over the top is infect, and that might be managed by banning Become Immense.

It's a draw. Someone losing the game is the outcome of the game checking state-based effects, and those are all checked at the same time.
