Pretty sure he also wrote the response to the "Why the MTG community is unhelpful at best to making female players feel welcome" that was so bad it was taken down quickly and Cedic wrote an apology article to replace it.

I've said this before, but you could keep 95% of Amulet Bloom legal, viable, and still dangerous by just banning Hive Mind. It removes the need for Simian Spirit Guide, forces the Bloom player to win through combat damage with vulnerable creatures, and while the chance of a nut hand is still possible, you basically need a perfect hand.

Rip_Van_Winkle posted:This seems maybe very good? I am bad at detecting important cards in this card game. Seems decent; 2/3 for Vigilance at 2cmc is good value, and late-game is becomes a 4/5, and all with added benefit for any man-lands you run.

I think the idea is that the Eldrazi are able to avoid taking physical damage due to their inherent bullshit, so Jace found a way to lock their physical forms in place and Chandra just took care of the rest.

Top Level Podcast's preview card is pretty cool; it's a 2cmc colorless instant that can counter a sorcery, make a Scion, or exile a 1-power/toughness creature.

Ciprian Maricon posted:Bans haven't really increased variety in the way people are hoping. Either they tone down the power of a deck so that it makes up less of the meta-game like the way DRS bans toned down Jund (which is good), or they make an archetype disappear entirely the way a Nacatl ban killed zoo (which is bad). I can't think of a single time a ban has suddenly led to the flowering of new decks. It's almost always new cards that bring archetypes from Tier 2 to Tier 1 or back from the grave. True, but by that same token new cards can also make decks worse; Necatl was unbanned and Zoo isn't taking over a format with Siege Rhino et al in it.

I agree; Chalice is only so much better because of the lands enabling it. I'm still in the camp of "Don't ban SSG" as it would indirectly be banning out Modern Ad Nauseam, but that's JMO.

As the owner of an FoW playset, seeing it printed at uncommon would've been totally fine, but I understand them printing it at Mythic. Complaining that they didn't is like Smash Melee complaining about them not putting wavedashing, an entirely unintentional mechanic, in Smash 4.

PJOmega posted:Don't think anyone is saying FoW should have been an Uncommon. It could have been a rare. But it is a mythic and magic thread gotta bitch about coulda-shoulda-woulda. Given the option I would just do away with Mythic Rarity altogether, but I can see them looking at not only the power of a card like FoW in limited (which may make more sense as we see the card pool they put out - imagine if Food Chain and Misthollow Griffin both make it in? Even just making Blue good would be enough of a reason), but also it's historical place and it's position as a defining card of Legacy that it 'deserves' a high rarity. I don't agree with it, but I can see the reasoning. The other thing is that this is presumably the first of other EMA sets, so it's not a given it'll always be at Mythic Rarity, though Tarmogoyf's continued placement at that rarity in MMA is not encouraging. Errant Gin Monks posted:Oh yeah I knew it wasn't coming back as uncommon. But mythic isn't going to budge the price, and that sucks since it will mean legacy still won't grow. If you knew then why all the anger? If you're merely frustrated about it, then sure, but your posts are bordering on 'Wizards is being spiteful just to be spiteful' or even conspiratorial.

Errant Gin Monks posted:I was more frustrated with people saying it's cool and good for FoW to be mythic because reasons. it's not cool and good. It's completely foreseeable but it's not good. I think people are mostly happy that FoW is being reprinted, period. I don't think anyone here is genuinely happy about it being at Mythic Rarity level, and this is someone who stands to lose value on my own copies because I'd rather have people to play Legacy with than some sort of perverse pride at seeing a deck I'm working on top $3k on TappedOut.
