Sampatrick posted:You really can't afford to have a card that does nothing except for scry 2. Would you really pay 1UG: Scry 2, Fog? If the same card said 6UG: smack someone in the face for 10, or 3UG: Scry 2, rip that Verdurous Gearhulk for free next turn, all at the same time? Probably.

The only card that's a format staple is Flooded Strand, IMO.

Sampatrick posted:Guys, I just want you to know that if Nissa ends up seeing no play at the PT I'm going to link to all of you saying the card is amazing and draw a really bad MS Paint Told Ya So sign. I just want all of you to consider that before making any claims about this card being amazing, because I am not afraid to use my bad MS Paint skills to embarrass you. There are other things than the immediate next Standard tournament you farting baby.

"You were wrong about a weird-AF two-color Planeswalker!" he screams from the rooftops as his diaper fills with yet more poop. "Your card evaluation was not flawless! This card did not immediately perform!" he yells to the thriving idiot masses as birds poop on him in turn.

The best possible outcome for Hour of Devastation, plotwise, based on my limited knowledge of the plot (bolas is there, gatwatch is summoned, plane spoke to Nissa) is this:

That was 90% of what we did with Phantasmal Image in SOM/INN anyway, kill Geist and Thrun. The other 10% was cloning titans and Rune-Scarred Demons.

You can use Gideon's Intervention to make your own Pyroclasm not hurt your own team. Cute!

ShaneB posted:ANOTHER beginning of combat question: AP has Surrak, the Hunt Caller on the board. AP says "combat?" If NAP does not want Surrak's ability to trigger, would NAP have to specify "Not yet. At the end of your main phase before beginning of combat step I cast [instant speed removal spell] on Surrak"? Or by NOT AGREEING to the request for "combat?" what is the NAP saying? What is the most correct way for NAP to remove Surrak without giving the AP priority back in the main phase to cast sorcery speed spells? Agree so that it goes to declare attackers.

mcmagic posted:The game is complicated. I don't see the harm in it. I'm an elitist asshat and I hate that I can't use bullshit rules to my advantage. My primary thought when I'm cumming is my opponent bolting my 2/3 goyf. I'm actually really bad at the game but I can memorize rules and try to use those to go 1-3 at the prerelease.

Looking at cards that were explicitly designed to work with Madness yet keep track of the information of the card like Wolf of Devil's Breach, I don't think it's that much different from how some effects use the last known information of a creature that died, even though that exact game object no longer exists.

mandatory lesbian posted:so why doesn't this work the same way for Auras? they fall off, despite having resolved Because abilities only care about the legality of the target at the time of resolution.  This card wouldn't work otherwise, as it gives the land the quality that restricts its targeting. It already barely does anything as is!

Ahtmonkey does have Dissenter's Deliverance, Manglehorn, and Forsake the Worldly, but doubt that's enough for Heart of Kiran.

80s James Hetfield posted:In a way yes and no. Of course playerbase and location have a big impact on that. Here in PA we still get 20+ for standard a week and as I said it's all kinds of decks. A few of the big 2-3, lots of 2nd tier things like Pummler, Reservoir and lastly brews. It makes standard here interesting because you see new things every week. I'm glad you live in loving Arcadia, and judging by you, it's a place unspoiled by good players.

Copycat is primed and ready to use Essence Scatter, Reduce to Rubble, and Gideon's Intervention to protect the combo further, so it's not like it doesn't get anything out of the new set. Nissa Seward is good for it on paper, but I'm not sure it has the slots for it. Real problem is still a lack of good removal, since even the best pieces in the set are still sorcery-speed.

I love Injury far more than Insult, and I've been wondering if anything worth a hoot could put up with Insult to get Injury.
