So this could be the reason they're giving packs of full art basics in each prerelease box, right?

Hellsau posted:I'd definitely play that Kozilek in Standard ramp, since searching that out with Sanctum after casting Ulamog, and drawing 4-6 cards, sounds sweet. I would play that Kozilek in Modern Tron, assuming those diamonds really do act as colourless symbols, and probably over Ulamog, too. That card shuts down Burn really well if it resolves, is helpful against Infect, and in general you're playing it as at least a draw 4.

C-Euro posted:Yeah I was wondering about that, but I wonder if Mentor has a case for being included in Burn. Seems like generating pseudo-Swiftspears would be a nice curve-topper, though Bolt-Bolt-Bolt is probably a better turn 3 play. It'll eat a removal spell and buy them a full turn.

I've played Atarka Red for 8 months at this point just because it's cheap (and wins a lot still). Make people not want to play standard in huge numbers anymore

BizarroAzrael posted:I played standard on Thursday, about 8-10 plays and seriously at least 4 were playing flavours of Aristocrats. It's tier 1.5 at best now but come rotation and people might not be maindecking something that wrecks it maybe it will be a stronger deck. Innistrad is a setting that could conceivably provide sac outlets, with Falkenrath Aristocrat reprint being the best case scenario. Can you do this but for Figure of Destiny and also various pictures of Goku

If they actually lower the mana cost on cards to something sane again they can do whatever the gently caress they want with the story, as far as I'm concerned.

SaffronOlive posted:Obviously we cannot control what cards Wizards puts at Mythic. When it comes down to it, the choice is theirs and theirs alone. If they wanted, they could look at the Future Future League results, try to pick the 15 most playable Standard cards, and stick them all at Mythic Rare. We couldn't do a drat thing about it. You could not play standard

UberJew posted:the power of sfm + plating would be dropping it into play and also equipping it at instant speed and also beating negate/only being open to being countered once rather than twice That would cost 1WBB and if Affinity's got that kind of coloured mana available then they either got lucky with colours or already lost. Beating Negate is definitely a thing but it's not really a thing worth taking a turn off for as Affinity

Angry Grimace posted:There's two particular reasons why SFM isn't getting unbanned 1) SFM pretty much obliterates the entire design space for equipment being good ever again, 2) You have to simultaneously ban a non-problematic card. Stoneforge is banned now and they already obliterated that space. At least that way I could play a sword in modern sometimes.

Angry Grimace posted:Except you still have to ban Batterskull, which isn't actually a problematic card that sees some level of play. I guess you could ask the question of how broken Batterskull and SFM are at the same time. Part of me wants to say "not that broken" because modern's pretty biased in favor of "unfair combo poo poo." Batterskull sees near 0 play now that the deck you bring it in for has an incredibly good main deck destruction tool for it

Admiral posted:Sorry, I know the card is a reprint, I was referring to the change from representing one colourless mana as (1) to <>, and the implications of this change. You mean the difference meaning gently caress all for any card printed before 2016? The only cards this actually impacts are new cards, this just changes how some old cards interact with those new cards. Why don't you pick something better to be mad over, like BfZ being incredibly mediocre? TheKingofSprings fucked around with this message at 03:46 on Dec 7, 2015 |

Angry Grimace posted:The only even vaguely legitimate complaint about the colorless symbol is that it's weird as gently caress to implement it in the middle of a block. Kozilek's Channeler can produce mana to cast Kozilek within the same limited environment except you can't actually tell by the card. "just the manlands"

Niton posted:I don't think they give a poo poo, do they? Legacy isn't a consideration, and they'll just ban if they go overboard. If they cared about non-Standard formats at all, Delve would never have gotten the nod to return. Delve was supercool and a great model for injecting cards into eternal. If they take what they learned from KTK/FRF and apply it to more delve cards it will be an easy way to add cool cards to shake up those formats.

That is a really bad idea because it makes basics I.E the simplest cards in existence twice as complicated if not moreso and it'll make the game a shitload harder for a new player.
