EatinCake posted:Seems like a waste of an opportunity for a sixth mana type if it's strictly Eldrazi based. From a design perspective you wouldn't be able to do much with it for non-eldrazi sets, and overall the pool would just be too small for it to do much elsewhere- just like snow mana. But with every other set being a "return", there'll be plenty of more design exploration in eldrazi land

Interestingly: "Wastes" is mostly plural. All other basic lands are singular. (Though, I suppose "the wastes" is arguable) Also, it's a basic land.. but it has no basic land type? Strange

New tron that focuses less on consistently assembling the lands early and more on control? Or maybe just some Kozilek's Return in tron

Telex posted:Now I'm at least 40-50% winrate, it's not intimidating and most of the time when I lose it's just because I don't execute properly, not because I drafted a stack of poo poo and I don't know what I'm doing. In an ideal world someone would create a nice pneumonic device with Synergy as a top two or three concept (bombs seem to me to still be the most important in the moment decision and synergy ideas come after once you've at least seen the first round of packs to know either what your opponents are likely trying for or you can try for) but I know for sure it helped me as-is significantly. This is a good point. BREAD has been around since we had doom blades and terminates. In the era of 4B sorcery "target creature gets -5/-5 until end of turn", perhaps it's time to reevaluate the relative value of "removal".

Angry Grimace posted:Rest in Peace was actually in RTR, as was Dryad Militant, another obvious gently caress OFF SNAPCASTER card. Also this [masterpiece/travesty] of flavor text: They're all about adjusting the previous block's themes in the latest sets. So if new Innistrad is as graveyard-y as old innistrad, we can look forward to good hate in the set after that one.

Any other hard-to-cast monsters under 3CMC that I haven't thought of? Hmmm... ? Though, not cheating too hard if you're casting a 4 mana spell for it. I guess the WW is easier?

Rip_Van_Winkle posted:As far as I know it goes in priority order, one chance to respond per player, no changing your mind if the person after you decides to not respond. priority order is technically how these interactions are handled. In actual practice, however- the players who stand to lose from the effect/spell being cast all confer with one another going "oh no, can't you afford to take the life loss? Please? I'll do you a solid for the next few turns" while the player controlling the effect/spell goes "hey! no canoodling, in priority order, player to my left, will you pay?" ps: All hail Rob, the red bob!

BizarroAzrael posted:I thought Echos were the Expedition equivalent for the set but I've heard nothing verified, just rumors from a dealer and such. Pretty much fancy reprints from the original Innistrad, presumably to reprint Snapcaster, Liliana, maybe stuff like Geist, Griselbrand and the legendary Angels, and maybe just popular/widely used cards like Lingering Souls and Delver for deck pimping. Again, not confirmed and since we've heard nothing so far it may just not happen. hmm... They just reprinted Geist. Most of those legendary angels were in the FTV/commander. Griselbrand promo was the last GP one, right? Also weren't snap & lili recent promos for something similar? Seems unlikely we'd get multiple alternate printings for those in such a short window. Maybe we'll go back to... timespiral block sometime soon and get something like echos. That way they wouldnt' be pinned in to one plane.

mandatory lesbian posted:All the ads i've ever seen from WOTC, including ones from the real old days, suggest they have never actually had a budget for marketing magic is unique in its player retention. They have a disproportionate amount of their profits coming from players who already play their game (compared with other games). I suppose it makes sense that they spend a disproportionately smaller amount on marketing. That sort of begs the question as to whether they could be X much bigger if only they did bump their marketing. I sometimes wonder whether they've reached their saturation point though. In NYC at least, there are game stores hosting regular magic events in basically every neighborhood. I'm sure they aren't at their absolute cap, but here at least it seems sometimes as though most of the potential magic players are already magic players.

Also goblin piledriver was kicking around standard when it first came out. Definitely made some results before control decks started figuring out the format. Innistrad/RTR had both zombies and aristocrats, the latter of which maybe was slightly less linear than your average tribal deck... but his lordship Vorthos would have approved.

Irony Be My Shield posted:Isn't the green vessel just better than the blue vessel, barring extremely unlucky misses and the rare case of targeting your opponent? With the green vessel you get a better than average card and 3 cards in the grave that you get a small amount of selection over. With the blue one you get a random card and 3 random cards in the grave. The green one even seems to have a cost that curves better. Secret blue mill deck in limited.

Entropic posted:If lots of limited decks are trying to self-mill themselves to turn on Delirium, a mill deck that says "you want cards in your graveyard? OK have ALL the cards in your graveyard" could actually be good if there's the cards for it. It needs a few creatures that mill though, sitting there casting enchantments while they're hitting you with creatures is a race you're unlikely to win.  An uncommon creature, a common enchantment, a bomb rare. Plenty of the set left to be spoiled. I'm jacing a serious clue about mill being a limited theme here.

Pending unknown environment, all of these seem reasonably constructed playable to me. There are others, mostly aggro. However, these blue cards seem like solid candidates to live in a jace deck.
