TheKingofSprings posted:There's basically no way to hate on wedges that won't cause the dreaded " Hasn't wedge already been hated on because all the rogue squadron books/games are no longer canon  Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:At least that was a learning experience for hate cards for last fall's mechanic, since Stony Silence, Ash Zealot, Rest in Peace, Soldier of the Parthenon, and End Hostilities were all good. haha parthenon to be honest self-inflicted wound, rending volley, and surge of righteousness all seem like indirectly hose wedges by being more likely to hit multicolored spells. it just so happens that a lot of that cycle isn't great at hitting rhinos. also i don't think wotc is keen on hitting gold cards as a thing b/c gold is considered a drawback in "design" but like then they make mana bases really good so v v but it's probably not a design problem.

I think the card has potential but it's not because it's a 4/4 for 4. If anything that rate is a huge drawback considering that abzan gets a 4/4 for 3 and a 4/5 for 4.

Nagle hates dredge which makes me dread him returning to set leads. I hope he gets therapy for his grave trolling. He really shouldn't burn his bridges with graveyard creatures, I hope he comes to some kind of breakthrough with that angle of design. Um that said what the gently caress wizards the problem with your coverage was definitely that there was too much of it? http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/magic-tournament-video-coverage-2016-2015-12-08 oh maybe it's not all awful news: quote:Finally, we look forward to adding some new faces to Magic coverage in 2016.

Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:I guess what they were trying to do with Split Second is "this happens so suddenly no one can do anything about it." You're looking at it the wrong way. Split second means time is literally split. As in, in another timeline, this happened, and now you're using magic to manifest that reality. That's why the art shows two versions of the same thing. For creatures, it means they've been there all along, and you just didn't notice.

Niton posted:For what it's worth, i'm pretty sure O-Ring getting dumpstered is entirely the work of Luis Scott-Vargas. Weird as it was, there wasn't really a reason to get rid of it until LSV managed to hard-lock MODO with it. If a banishing light effect could target your own permanents you could still do that lock. That's not the reason for the re-template.

PORTER Faith, sir, we were carousing till the second round: and magic, sir, is a great provoker of three things. MACDUFF What three things does magic especially provoke? PORTER Marry, sir, pile-shuffling, judge calls, and rare redrafting. Speculation, sir, it provokes and unprovokes: it provokes the desire, but it takes away the performance. Therefore much magic may be said to be an equivocator with speculating: it makes him, and it mars him; it sets him on and it takes him off; it persuades him and disheartens him; makes him stand to and not stand to; in conclusion, equivocates him in a sleep, and giving him the lie, leaves him.

Gensuki posted:Is Thoughtpicker witch a good card? Its abiity seems like Jace, the Jacejace's +2. it was marginally playable in limited but maybe as like a 24th or 25th card (RGD was a 15-16 land format )it paled in comparison to some other sac outlets like elvish skycutter or golgari rotwurm but it had its niche although, the price wasn't as high back then since damage used the stack. you could trade a 2/2, stack damage, then activate thoughtpicker, which is why it was marginally useful.

Um look Kozilek's Return can feel pretty mythic if you think about it the right way. Imagine Kalitas is standing around, he pulls out is watch and says, BIG K, it's SHOW TIME. Then Kozilek emerges from the ground, punches you with piston-tendrils, with a display that says CAST IN THE NAME OF [BLURRED OUT]. That seems pretty mythic to me.

GeneX posted:World breaker costs green, which is somehow probably more of a downside than costing 7 mana, given the decks that would use it R/G Tron almost always has access to green, considering that the root of its consistency is Ancient Stirrings and Sylvan Scrying and that it plays 4 grove,4 sphere, 4 star, and 4 map. World Breaker's casting cost isn't going to be what keeps it out of modern. That said, World Breaker has a very hard time competing with any of the current Eye of Ugin targets in Tron, but its ability to handle two onboard inkmoths in one turn might let it see some play. It is essentially way more likely to see standard play than modern play since it's at a casting cost where it could hit the board in standard, isn't competing with more powerful effects at different costs, and standard is a format where its recursion ability is likely to be somewhat relevant.

I feel like Nissa's being kind of underrated here. Her -2 is a pseudo anthem which could be really sweet along with Gideon anthems in a token based strategy, like maybe Atarka red vv.
