BFZ might be weaker (and that's ignoring how strong mana bases are atm which is stupid but whatever) but it actually has pretty reasonable interplay with origins and khans?

I hosed up with this spell on prerelease despite knowing the rules. (suicided the targeted creature with a fight spell, but forgot it would also negate the fog effect e:I was on the receiving end of Channel Harm, for clarity)



I think it's fairly unintuitive, especially with how multi target spells work.

The new fix lands look pretty sweet though. They can only produce colorless on their own, but they come into play untapped, can provide two colors of mana off of one color (which will probably lead to some goofy-as-hell mana chaining setups), and don't cost life to use.

Those are expedition only reprints of Shadowmoor lands

Its efficient, splashy, and makes your big splashy spells splashier.

It wouldn't be useful for it's second mode, but if you have some swiftspear a and abbots out, an atarkas command and this on your turn during the combat phase can wipe their small creatures off the board and allow yours with their prowess triggers to survive and crash in as an alpha strike. It's an instant speed pyroclasm. That's not bad.

This seems incredibly best case scenario/winmore thinking.

It's the only red sweeper available that's not converge. Why would it be win more? Pyroclasm is a good card that is used all over. Printing a new one for 3 seems pretty relevant in standard. It's dumb that it's mythic, but it could do some work. Radiant flames isn't anywhere near as good.

In the context you were describing. It's an obviously powerful card.

I liked the bullet point about leaks being bad because it keeps information from "less-enfranchised players" even though grand wizards have access to this info as long as they keep their mouth shut and only circulate it between a privilege few. :3:

Allstone posted:

I think they've said on multiple occasions that a majority of their players will never look at or post on a forum or reddit thread, so in that context it makes a fair amount of sense that less-enfranchised players are pretty often not going to see leaks until a fair amount later than the most enfranchised players.

Aren't those people also unlikely to view the eventual pre-prerelease full spoiler, which wizards themselves provide? How many of people that won't hear about the leak, will care about it? Of those that won't know about the leak, how many would have cared in the first place?

I'm not from Florida (or the SE Region for that matter), but there's been a big scramble to find judges for events that can just no longer function due to these bans - some TOs are bending over backwards in compensation (both monetary and otherwise) to try and get judges in to cover events in time. There's a reason so many judges (and other folks) have been calling this for the huge poo poo show it's been.

Just how many people were banned?
