EDIT: 1 copy of blood dragon!? what the gently caress is that

well i googled it and found this http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/dredging-blood-dragon/ but that's a legacy deck, so maybe it's some kind of knock-off of it?

Not true!



Stream of Life is, from my memory, the only non-creature card to have the same Oracle text from Alpha to present day. And I think the creatures only count because some just have "Trample" or another keyword.

none of the creatures count cause they all say summon on them, instead of creature

i'm really glad Dark Petition is seeing play in legacy and vintage while not really seeming to do anything in standard (don't know about modern but I assume it's not really being played there either)

I don't know, I just find it cool when a card sees play in those formats but isn't really broken

When I first saw Magic cards (a heck of a long time ago, maybe not quite 1996) mana was this strange new mystical term that conveyed a sense of wonder. I imagined my wizard actually reaching out to the Basalt Monolith and drawing forth its great flows of stored energy.

What I'm saying is that Wizards has, slowly and by degrees, pissed on any meaning that the nature of mana had for me so now I'm pretty much down with whatever makes it a little bit more mechanically elegant.

playing a game as a kid is different then as an adult, that's normal you know

Maro actually posted on his tumblr that they could reprint split second - they'd just rejig the reminder text.

I never said there was?

he's being a pedantic idiot and saying that typed dual lands would be impossible, since wastes isn't a type

i mean they can easily just make a non basic land - forest with additional text saying tap for diamond mana, which is basically the same thing

It's at least something new. BFZ had poo poo for new mechanics. Awaken is the most exciting thing in that set, and just barely. I'd rather they try and fail spectacularly than print a sub core set level of interesting stuff.

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.

i agree with this but this card isn't being played in a deck with such a heavy reliance on fragile creatures

I'm a fan of SaffronOlive and think he's the best content producer out there right now but holy loving balls his new article about how "♦ is the SIXTH COLOR GUYS" is loving dumb. The fact that it operates as a casting restriction, of which there have been many in the history of MTG, solely in the Eldrazi set, doesn't make it a sixth color because literally nothing else in the game requires colorless and every single other colorless non-devoid card can be cast with Generic Mana. You might as well argue basically any casting restriction is in fact, a new color.

i thought it was pretty dumb too but i think all the people who can't seem to wrap there heads around the change are also dumb to be quite frank

like i instantly understood what was going on when i saw the change i don't understand how you couldn't tbh

Showing what was at the end of the flashback draft article

NOTE: Due to bugs currently impacting Darksteel rares Gemini Engine and Thought Dissector, Darksteel boosters opened during between the January 6 and January 20 downtimes will not contain these cards, whether in these events or through the collection. (Each pack will still contain a rare.) These cards can be opened again in Darksteel boosters after the January 20 downtime.

Great job dev team!

yeah that made me lol but luckily neither of those cards looked particuarly awesome so i'm fine with them being dead

its also not confusing at all

i am really amazed at how people are trying their damnedest to not understand an incredibly simple concept, that they are now visually indicating that colorless mana and generic mana are not the same so they can do colorless as a cost

We suffered through Thoughtseize Standard too recently to be hype about another, arguably stronger, 1 cmc discard spell.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeh IoK is really good but thoughtseize is probably more powerful on the whole

i mean if it did get reprinted it would be played in every black deck just like thoughtseize so it doesn't really matter

Could they print something which "ignores" hexproof? Cards that straight up ignore keywords seems like a weird enough thing for eldrazi to do.

Like a 3 mana naturalize that could target the untargetable?

They could also just make it say "choose an artifact in play. Each player sacrifices each artifact they control that shares a name with that artifact" if they didn't want break a rule for the sake of breaking it.

The funny part is if you say to someone "oh neat now my Kozilek EDH deck has basic lands" they understand it with no problem. There are 5 colors + colorless. But try to say its a 6th whatever, hooo boy.

you know that's a funny thing too, Barry's Land has finally (sorta kinda) been printed but it's just like whatever, changing a symbol is what's causing the freakout

How the hell did people get the idea wizards thinks 1R 3 damage is too good? They just like to have formats that leave out a classic option from one or more colors to see how things play out. I guarantee that Lightning Strike or whatever will be back and it won't be because Wizards realized they made a mistake; they never intended for it to be gone forever in the first place.

i don't think they think it's too good i think they just decided to see what would happen if it didn't exist as an option for a while, which is fine i guess

what i don't like is that they also decided to experiment with not having a one mana elf, which is just dumb but then i think oh turn 3 rhino and i guess i see why they didn't do it
