Seems weird that kozilek doesn't have indestructible or a similar ability.

Edit - eh guess it would be busted with his counter ability

I put together that turbo turns deck from mtggoldfish and have been having more fun with that than any other 'real' deck this standard.

I hope it's just Ob swearing to kill every living being in the multiverse. Have him doing the goofy little hand sign and everything.

It's probably just that goofy black sorcery that's already been spoiled. It has a quote from him and the card art features all the walkers in the cool kids club.

Speaking as someone who doesn't play an awful lot of modern I'm happy to see twin gone purely because I find it boring as gently caress to watch. To be honest though not really that many people played it, or Bloom titan, at my LGS anyway.

Went 1/2/1 in my Prerelease today. Ended up in r/w because they were literally the only colours I had anything remotely decent in. The uncommon 4/3 in red that makes temporary 3/3 elementals from lands with its landfall was probably mvp.

Probably cos Ugin rightly believes them all to be idiots. Also glad Ob Nixilis didn't get killed off he's a good bad guy in a sort of unintended Saturday morning cartoon villain sort of way.

I think it's more likely Avacyn has been vampirized somehow given in the literal only piece of media we've seen the far the Avacyn symbol gets twisted and inverted into something that resembles fangs and there's bloody feathers etc. My bet was the vampires have done something ill-advised while Sorin was on Tarkir with the aim of making them #1 on Innistrad again but it's gonna be more than they bargained for.

I really hope it isn't Emrakul for the sole reason I'll be really burned out on eldrazi by the time SOI comes out and two entire blocks about the same thing in a row seems really dull.

Liliana still had the veil on her in the last Uncharted Realms so I think it's safe to assume she still has it.

Actually I don't think she's capable of getting rid of it, she already tried taking it back to Shandalar but couldn't physically leave it for some reason.

So, team unified modern rules have been changed so that every team now has to run one eldrazi deck, one mono-r burn deck, and one merfolk deck.

Nah they totally have options, they can run affinity instead of eldrazi :v:

Lol so apparently despite having what she said reiterated back to her and confirming it, I'm hearing that the 'only basics in two decks' thing is not actually the case and is going to be re-clarified. Helene is an idiot.

I think the best part is that FoW has fantastic art.

This has me legitimately excited. Doesn't this mean they've said "gently caress the reserved list and gently caress you"?

I mean, isn't Wasteland on the reserved list?

The announcement says none of the cards are on the reserved list. Seeing as I'm never going to play legacy or vintage I'd have much rather they printed another modern masters set instead.

Borrow a deck off a friend, play a few games and see if you like the game in general.

If you do, find one of the recent budget decks off mtg goldfish (watch the videos to see what appeals to you) and buy that.

I've been playing the budget turbo turns deck from there (albeit with two added ugins) and it's definitely competitive against the much more expensive tier 1 decks at fnm.

I get being excited about cool new things, and I guess out of print things, but this is Legacy: The Set, and, because of the existence of the Reserve List, can't reprint anything that will make that format at all more accessible. The only thing I can really think of is maybe EDH, but :shrug:, that is still not my thing. So I don't get this particular set.

I'm inclined to agree. I've nothing against the idea of it but I've never had any particular desire to play legacy or vintage and realistically I doubt it'll make any meaningful difference in opening up either of those formats anyway.

Went undefeated at fnm with Living End. It helped that 1) my first opponent was bogles, 2) no one plays eldrazi, and 3) people at my LGS don't appear to have much prior experience playing against Living End.

Got a kozilek's return in one of my prize packs which was nice. Really felt sorry for the bogles guy, we played several games after for funsies and it was virtually impossible for him to beat my deck.
