GROUND FLOOR Also, standard is a pile of midrange decks with 1 aggro-combo deck and 1 ramp deck and I guess a control deck on the side, heavily influenced by 1 powerful blue card. Standard right now is about hyper-efficient powerful cards all going together without any huge regard for synergy, essentially.

Thinking on it I don't think this is real because I think a new basic land type is something that would be added in the first set of a block, not the second set, if it was added at all.

If these are real I really doubt it's a deliberate leak mcmagic posted:Twitter says it's a new symbol for colorless mana. Not a new mana type just has to be colorless. So it's 10 mana and 2 has to be colorless. unless it's an actual wizards employee twitter is speculating as much as the rest of us

Banning a card under the premise of hurting bloom but not killing it is silly. It's doable, but it's silly. I think you either blow the deck out of the water(by banning literally any key card) or leave it be.

lockdar posted:Amulet Bloom is a combo deck that needs 4 different cards (Titan, Amulet, Bloom, Bounceland) to combo and put a Titan in play on turn 2, it needs a second Amulet to get the kill. There are multiple 1 or 2 mana cards that completely negate anything the deck tries to do. Sure, you need to have those cards in hand but so does the Bloom deck and the Amulet player used 4 cards while you stopped that with 1 card. One discard spell or one Path to Exile negates anything you've been trying to do and sets the deck back multiple turns. It hasn't put up amazing results at a regular base and is still a small part of the metagame. I really don't get all the bitching about the deck. You're not disagreeing with my core argument. Also, amulet only gets set back multiple turns by removal if the amulet player decides to greedy instead of titaning for tolaria west + bounceland(if needed).

bhsman posted:Or draw it naturally, but yeah. Just playing the deck occasionally online I've liked the 1x Spirit Guide. It's hard to describe why exactly, but it just smoothes things out and at least like half the time you draw it it just lets you do something you couldn't have done otherwise.

I believe "successfully cast" was always the equivalent to "put on the stack", countered or no. I played pre-6th but none of us had any idea what the rules were so I'm not sure, though.

Angry Grimace posted:* Bobby breaks out into some horrible prose about his options and he comes up with a solution to "save Zendikar," which seems random since he does the opposite of this the entire time. He finds his "keystone" hedron which he will use to focus power back to himself and starts flying towards Sea Gate. He doesn't seem to care for flight but says its more convenient because, "you don't see a lot of demons on boats, and it turns out there are some very good reasons for that." (ugh) the way the story was written made it sound like obby was originally going to do something else but when he saw the network already set up he felt he had an opportunity also he didn't actually need to break the hedron ring, he chose to because, as you said, he's actually a cartoon supervillain

Uncharted Realms quality is super uneven, it ranges from barely edited badly plotted trash to perfectly adequate genre fiction. I actually felt this was closer to the latter, a few bad passages aside.

Niton posted:If it makes you feel better: Most of the lands widely agreed on to be Magic's most powerful (Fetchlands, Original Duals and Shocks, as well as Battle Lands) do nothing to help you cast any cards with Colorless mana costs, so you will have to change the construction of your mana base to accommodate Colorless cards.    (I know Workshop won't help cast Eldrazi but I have a hard time believing they're introducing a change like this without using it on all cards, when they want it, moving forward) On a lesser level,         Also Tron and others, but I just stuck with cards I can think off the top of my head that see play in eternal formats. To be clear, I don't think there's anything wrong with colorless mana being diamond mana and actually think it's a good idea, but that statement was just not true.

Hopefully they use this as an excuse to reprint certain expensive lands not on the Reserved List(obviously not in Standard necessarily, but more copies of, say, Wasteland in circulation would be nice).

Ramos posted:Wasteland would just be taking the entire table that Modern is delicately set up upon and just flipping it over. Even if they don't develop for Modern, it just isn't going to happen. Like I said, an excuse. Obviously Wasteland is never going to be in a Standard-legal set again, but they could reprint it in a supplementary product with shiny new diamonds where it taps for mana, and then there would be more in circulation.

Yeah I feel like this guy is solidly in standard roleplayer status; that is, good enough to see some play, but only as the last few slots of the deck in question and only if the deck is already decent without it (That deck is probably RG Landfall)

Yawgmoth posted:I think if you can't wrap your head around what 'resolves" and "stack" that maybe Magic just isn't the game for you. I started playing Magic when I was like 7 or 8. I did not play all that much and had no idea how a lot of the game worked, I just knew the untap upkeep draw play most spells during main phase attack play instants/interrupts whenever(I didn't really know the difference between the two, just that interrupts were faster in some way), but I still enjoyed playing. High school was the first time I saw anyone do things with the stack more complicated than "play spells"(I didn't know the stack existed); a friend of mine was doing some sort of shenanigans with Pemmin's Aura and I didn't think they were allowed the first time he did it. but okay I guess magic just wasn't the game for me

Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:Someone, I think it was BJPaskoff, mentioned how Split Second's name is misleading. Well there are at least 3 I can think of offhand (Sudden Death, Sudden Shock, Sudden Spoiling). More than that though, I think their idea was to separate it with the art, all the split second cards have this lightning bolt thing down the center and I think the idea is a before/after thing or something. The flavor is shot though, yeah, especially since triggered abilities still happen and so forth.

Be cool to have a manland that isn't primarily just for swinging in. the problem with forbidding watchtower and spawning pool is that leaving up a pile of mana just to block is pretty lovely because the main job of a manland is "manasink in the late game on an empty-ish board"
