I'm awful at Magic, started the day out 2-0 then proceeded to punt my next three matches and end up 2-3. Feel bad for the two players I won against because I did not deserve those wins at all and one of them just barely failed to make the cut to top 16. Got some cool rares in my pool for my cube I guess

Nibble posted:While this is true, I hope this new storytelling initiative doesn't lead to every single set being "the Gatewatch heads to <plane> where they encounter <threat to the multiverse> and fend them off" ad infinitum. Considering how hard wizards has been leaning into the "planeswalkers are superheroes" concept lately you probably want to keep your hopes in check

I'm bad at magic, can somebody explain to me why Prowess is such a powerful mechanic asides from the obvious text that's written on the card? For example, at pre-release my opponents seemed to be deathly afraid of Stormchaser Mage and would always attempt to burn removal on it as early as possible. In the instances when he lived, though, he never seemed to do much.

Ramos posted:It's crap in a vacuum but does exceptionally well in limited metas with a lot of instants and sorceries or in constructed tempo decks. The reason why is that it rewards you for what you're were going to do anyway and are often on creatures with stats that with a slight boost can win out on combat situations and push for more damage they wouldn't have gotten otherwise. I see, guess I should look at some Top 8 decks from the past year that feature it heavily.

I remember when he got to write a mothership article for the first time and it was just a bunch of internet memes. The second article was much more toned down, but since then I haven't seen articles from him very frequently, and probably for good reason.

117.9c. An alternative cost doesn't change a spell's mana cost, only what its controller has to pay to cast it. Spells and abilities that ask for that spell's mana cost still see the original value. 107.3g All instances of X on an object have the same value at any given time. The two relevant rules

Onean posted:For those of you that stream live MTG or enjoy learning some behind the scenes stuff, Paul from Loading Ready Run did a stream explaining the system he put together that automatically recognizes cards and plugs them in to XSplit to help viewers follow plays. I've been thinking about making a browser plugin that lets you mouse over cards in a stream and pops up an autocard, except I don't have any actual programming skills so this is just a "man that'd be dope" kind of thing

Chamale posted:That's an interesting idea. It probably would have been balanced, and consequently we wouldn't be seeing it all the time in Eternal like we do with Phyrexian mana now. Can't they technically perform power level errata on phybrid because the mechanic only exists as rules/reminder text. They've done it before on lifelink, albeit not on purpose.

Ciprian Maricon posted:This has the potential to be a very cool product and its so typical of mtg players to immediately dismiss it because WOTC didn't do exactly what they wanted how they wanted. Every pack could include a real life LOTV who's horny and dying to give you a beezy and people would still complain I wonder what kind of draft chaff they'll be including to lower the EV though.

Dumb as gently caress thought experiment: WotC announces a "stock split" and reduces the number of cards in a booster pack while also lowering the price of a booster. Drafts become 4 packs and sealed becomes 8 packs. What should the new rarity distribution be? For example, if you cut 2 commons and 1 uncommon, and tweak the mythic rate to be 1/10, your sealed pool gains 4 commons, loses 2 uncommons, and gains ~2 rares while keeping the mythic rate approximately the same. idk why they'd even do something like this, I was just imagining what would happen if draft went up to 4 packs and what would have to happen as a result

I mean, there aren't many other simple rarity configurations you could do under the assumption of a 4-booster draft and still maintain the same distribution of card rarity within a Limited pool. Wizards did try half boosters back during the Alara block, and I'm guessing it failed since I don't see those for sale anymore. Do you think WotC might eventually be forced to cut the size of a booster when the price of a 15-card booster becomes so expensive casual supermarket buyers stop making those kinds of purchases? Or do you suppose that market demographic isn't large enough where they'd ever have to care?

mandatory lesbian posted:it would probably be two large sets and you draft them separate, thats what they've done in the past They only did that because the assumption was that you'd draft all three in DGM. Kinda have a hard time believing they'd make what is essentially two single-set blocks that have no cross-pollination between the two asides from flavor
