I'm actually shocked they capped a constructed gp at 60$. Like I'm going and it's actually just the worst fun + worst value to play the main event.

I played against the guy randomly at a side table, but all I can tell you is that Thalia is really good against cheerios! It was a cool deck. Maindeck meddling mages, sky hussar, thalia, and vryn's wingmare if I recall. e; He was also super nice!

jassi007 posted:Templating was hilariously non-exsistant in early magic. I just picked up an Oubliette for my cube this weekend. My friends and I found the wording really funny. It exiles a creature, but exile wasn't a word so it has like 3 sentences of text to explain what exile means. I mean...  e; And forget about tokens being created in any sane manner    This is one of the weird quirks also with what "bury" used to mean.

Count Bleck posted:On the subject of lingering souls, what are the odds we get a strictly worse version that makes the same amount of tokens but with the mana cost on the actual card and the flashback cost increased? I kind of doubt we'll see flashback around again soon. If I had to guess, with SoI, we'll see DFCs of some sort, but probably not any direct mechanic crossovers.

JerryLee posted:I actually wonder if we might not see madness. It's about its time, it fits with the speculation of tending towards a more lovecraftian sort of Gothic horror, and it's sort of like the inverse of Miracles but less toxic (which is why I thought of it). Madness is never going to be in standard again, it's the only mechanic they literally can't print reminder text for.

UberJew posted:They just printed reminder text for madness in vintage masters, though The reminder text is actually wrong though. quote:(If you discard this card, you may cast it for its madness cost instead of putting it into your graveyard.) vs quote:702.34a Madness is a keyword that represents two abilities. The first is a static ability that functions while the card with madness is in a player’s hand. The second is a triggered ability that functions when the first ability is applied. “Madness [cost]” means “If a player would discard this card, that player discards it, but may exile it instead of putting it into his or her graveyard” and “When this card is exiled this way, its owner may cast it by paying [cost] rather than paying its mana cost. If that player doesn’t, he or she puts this card into his or her graveyard.”

JerryLee posted:You mean if you take the entire comp rules description of an ability, it might be too long to serve as reminder text? The point is that the reminder text doesnt mention that A) the card is exiled B) it's exiled as a replacement effect or C) There's a second triggered effect as well as the replacement. You can stifle a card with madness that's discarded. If you do, the opponent never has the chance to cast it, and it'll remain in exile. This type of interaction isn't common, but it's the type of thing that can quite possibly come up in a game and totally mess with the expected outcomes. Here's one that could actually happen: 1) You cast a spell that has a discard as a cost: Tormenting Voice 2) As part of the cost, you discard Basking Rootwalla, a card with madness. It gets exiled as a replacement effect. 3) In response to the madness trigger, I cast Ulamog's Nullifier, put the Basking Rootwalla into your graveyard, and counter the Tormenting Voice. You'd no longer be able to use the trigger to cast the Rootwalla for its madness cost. You'd also have 0 idea this was possible from the reminder text. e; Also, it's a may on the replacement! So if you thought I might have the nullifier, you could choose to not exile it!

Pussy Snorkel posted:It starts here, for sure... To this I'd add Necropotence Grizzlebrand Jace, the Mind Sculptor and be pretty happy with the entire list. Power 9 aren't necessarily cards that are just "good", it's cards that, when resolved, up your win chance by like 50%. I don't think that demonic tutor does that on its own, and neither does tinker - if that was the case, crop rotation would also be on there.

Seriously I don't know why this was ever a question. When a land produces ♦ it produces "one colorless" (previously a 1 in a circle) If a card has ♦ in its cost, ♦ can only be paid for with colorless mana. The only question is if (3) becomes ♦♦♦ or not.

Olothreutes posted:Probably not. That would be a huge sweeping errata on basically every artifact ever printed. It's just a way to make the eldrazi into "woooooOOOOoooo colorless" things. The numbers in circles have always been any mana so they probably can't suddenly make basalt monolith cost ♦♦♦ because it would become really hard to cast suddenly without weakening your manabase. This could allow them to do neat things with better equipment now, maybe skullclamp isn't quite so busted if you have to run colorless producing lands. Jesus Christ again, no, the question is not if they will make (3) in a cost become ♦♦♦, it's if Basalt Monolith will tap for ♦♦♦ or (3) e; Also my guess on the 20 is 10 filter lands, 5 enemy battle lands, and the 5 future sight lands (horizon canopy "cycle") with the 5th land being replaced by something Skyl3lazer fucked around with this message at 02:59 on Dec 7, 2015 |

whydirt posted:The giant octopus pulls everything beneath the waves (into players' hands) and if you surge the octopus comes out to play. It's not perfect, but mass bounce has been flavored as tidal waves/deep sea creatures before. Yeah but "Surge" in the context of that card is super blue flavored, which is weird since I'd assume its in at least 2 colors (probably 3?) Also I hate this mechanic, but I dont know if it's just because I hated splice so much.

The Shortest Path posted:When the standard format consists of decks that cost over a grand that wipe the floor with all other decks that don't, people tend to not play that format as much. On the flip side, it's actually a really fun standard if you own the cards to play it. I'll never be dissapointed in a standard that doesn't feature a pile of 20 mountains as a deck.

I never played Conspiracy because the "like draft, but with extra poo poo!" hook never interested me, especially when all the extras look as ridiculous as the EDH specific poo poo. I agree with all of this except for Conspiracy because it was actually really fun (provided you were drinking (why werent you drinking if you were playing conspiracy?))

ThePeavstenator posted:What do you need to do to become a judge? I've been a referee for *real sports* before and I'd like to try doing some magic judging because I enjoy officiating despite the problems that come with the job. For L1 the process is fairly simple - you'll need to find an L2+ to mentor you. Basically all that means is that they'll do some review of rules, get to know you, then when you both think you're ready, actually administer the L1 test. You can go here to do practice tests. The 'easy practice' is probably what you want to do if you can't make L1 practice tests, but easy practice is actually generally harder than the L1 test. The whole rules advisor part you can do without a mentor, but it isn't required at all to become a judge. As a reminder, you can't talk about specific questions from the practice or real judge tests.

RAs can't really do anything beyond judge FNMs though (and you don't actually even need to be an RA to do that) Like it's nearly 100% a shiny badge that just says 'you learned some stuff' without any actual functionality. I guess it lets you make L1 practice tests on your own?

Zoness posted:So if Judges don't have previous access to the cards, then wizards isn't targetting judges and is just targetting people who are involved in a method to leak cards? Yeah the question is if the shorter bans on the judges weren't so much warranted due to leaking as much as "next time, say something if you know something!". In the latter case they were banned because they were judges that knew something, and wouldn't have been banned if they were joe schmos who knew something.
