I actually dig the Mirrorpool and Kozilek cards, thd Kozilek is cool as gently caress and like hell yes I want a land that does an imitation of Riku.

That's a surprisingly interesting solution to the perceived issue of fetches+fetchable duals ruining standard

No, no, keep going on about how New And Totally Rad Kozilek is totally fake or whatever.

Seriously if it really does mean "must be paid with colorless mana" and all colorless sources are errata'd to produce diamond mana (so that the (1) now means "can be paid with any color of mana" and is distinguished from "colorless") it's a good and smart change, since it's unchanged in terms of mana production and will probably be used sparingly at best for costs (for fear of making it a de facto 6th color).

It's functionally identical to a 6th color also, but the freedom from any flavor restrictions opens up a hell of a balancing tool, and it'll hopefully not be overused

This is all assuming it's real, and I'd be more annoyed with Kozilek (sure, let's just give the big guy menace. And a conditional counterspell ability that requires you to have him in play already.) than with the change to colorless mana.

I guess he might theoretically see play in the now-fringe UW or Mono U tron decks? Maybe a sideboard card against a particularly hand disruption heavy jund player?

I think I could play any control deck using Kozilek as a wincon. He's just rad as hell and so is his art.

Enchanted Land loses all abilities and is a Waste.
?Draw a card? (this is too strong in the current environment)

Wouldn't it actually just say what Spreading Seas does, then?

"Enchanted land is a Waste.
Draw a card."

See not only does it match Spreading Seas' text, it also sounds cooler.

More like it's strong evidence that it's his art, which in fact means that's probably what the new Kozilek card is going to have for art?

Before the full spoilers I called my LGS to preorder the full set of five, but they weren't sure how much stock they were getting, so I had to wait.
Then I saw the full spoiler and I couldn't summon any interest at all in buying even a single one of those decks.

I feel like I saved $150. Is this what it's like when you don't buy cards? It feels good. Does anyone read this thread who spends no money on Magic? How good does it feel?

You could buy the Actual Good Cards from the Commander 2015 set and still save about half a Commander 2015 deck.

The commanders themselves are cheap as gently caress, and the only cards worth noting are honestly the (blue and black, maybe white) Confluences, Command Beacon, and Blade of Selves.

They've been saying it would come out in October for months and that's come and gone, so we'll see how long it takes them. I can't wait for them finish it, I just want to trade my online draft bulk for physical EDH cards.

It would honestly make me more inclined to draft on MTGO because then I can take my sick rips and make them into actual cards.

Or you know, use my puca points to get into Modern on MTGO since central Jersey doesn't have a store that runs large events unless I want to drive an hour and a half to get bodied.

After watching my umpteenth pro cube draft video, I've come to realize that the cube gimmick I really want is a cube without blue in it.

Or at least one where the blue theme somehow avoids card draw and/or counterspells completely.

Or a dumb infinite combo.

I had noticed that its a lot of the younger players that weren't showing up, along with the more casual older players.

Maybe its the rising cost of being competitive in standard that's dissuading people recently? Betweeb fetches and walkers people can't afford $300 standard decks.

That's mostly it, this standard is expensive as gently caress.

"pile shuffle in the shape of a heart in order to appease the Value Gods."

I put their top seven on the bottom if they do this. Because they want a "real" cut, but according to the rules the least amount of cards you need to move to validate as an official cut is seven cards moved.

Had a judge tell me that in order for it to be considered a 'real' cut of the deck you have to move at least 7 cards.

In terms of black friday deals through friday and the weekend, I haven't been impressed at all at any of the UK sites, some not even doing deals at all.

Then I went into my LGS and found out they were selling EVERYTHING they had at 25% off including singles (Which they price at 50% SCG $ -> £, which is pretty competitive anyway)

Needless to say, I bought a lot of singles that day. Plus, Inkedplaymats are doing a sale all weekend of 25% off most of their stuff if you use the code THEWEEKEND.



(Undertale is such a good game.)

I wish I had your store's level of competitiveness, everyone here uses SCG prices. :sigh:
