Processing was Ulamog's deal cause he like to eat . True colorless seems to be Kozilek's schtick as the mind Eldrazi.

There may be a lot of bad flavor text now, but I'm so glad we don't have quotes from or art depicting the Weatherlight crew anymore. Gerrard was a bad Commander Riker ripoff anyway.

mandatory lesbian posted:The whole only having one white eldrazi thing makes no sense to me, like why bother Limited. More specifically, emphasizing mechanics differently for limited vs constructed. You only need one good card for the latter, but a critical mass for the former. Master of Waves from Theros is another example of having a card pushed for constructed for a mechanic that was essentially absent for the color in limited. whydirt fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Jan 10, 2016 |

Babylon Astronaut posted:It was kind of strange to get the enablers for theros block in origins. Not really. They seed stuff that pairs with the mechanics for the block rotating out in the final set in its Standard season to give it a final hurrah. It also ensures that if they go overboard with a theme that it won't be in Standard for too long.

I don't think Magic is in danger of dying anytime soon, but this is the kind of community outreach decision, along with the judge banning thing recently and the new Duels video game being so terrible, that could at least flatten growth into a plateau. Pun very much intended.

Given that it technically is a basic land, I think it's good for them to clarify.

anglachel posted:Hmm, so why is Modern Zombies not a deck? I mean Modern Goblins is a tier 2 deck. Merfolk is basically a tier 1 deck. Zombies has solid lords, black has good cards in it. My guess is that it's because zombies as a tribe are mostly about grinding out a long game with value based recursion, which is just not a strategy that works in a format like Modern.

Nah the cube changes are good and make Legacy cube more balanced and distinct from Vintage cube.

There's LSV's set review articles on CFB. Those are probably the closest thing to a cliff notes version of the LR set review episode.

If abusing Eldrazi lands in Modern becomes the next big thing after OGW, could Expedtion Map get the axe for enabling both it and Tron? How much would losing Map hurt Tron's consistency?

Tron lands aren't bad when you can't consistently hit them on T3/T4. Ancient Stirrings (which can also grab threats) and Expedition Map seem like bigger culprits than the lands themselves.

I traded my Shivan Dragon for a Craw Wurm since they were basically the same size and casting cost and I liked green more than red.

I do think they're going to have to do something more than $8 Modern Masters packs every other year to bolster supply. There are just too many expensive cards for it to do much to move the needle.

A 2/1 flash flyer for 2 mana is good enough to see play in standard if there's a blue tempo shell for it to live in. The activated ability is just a bonus for a long game to potentially dodge removal for free.

I highly doubt Emrakul will be in SoI itself. If anything we might get a reveal hinting at her behind the scenes in the following small set.

I'm pretty sure Inquisition isn't in because all the Eldrazi themed spells have devoid, so it's stick out if it was the only one that wasn't. Of course, that's no excuse for it not to be in a Modern Masters or other supplemental set.

I wish they'd reprint Blackmail in Standard sometime. While less powerful than Inquisition and Thoughtseize, it's a much more interesting spell.

I imagine the mechanics for SoI will end up looking like: -Transform -Madness -New threshold variant -Undying -Comedy Miracles option -1 or 2 other new mechanics I don't see them bringing flashback back again simply because there won't be room if they're already bringing back mechanics that were introduced in the original INN block.

Oh yeah I forgot about morbid! I'd be okay with it coming back for sure. I'd bet though that we'll either see it or undying come back but not both.

One nice thing if madness does return is that I bet they'll match the flavor to the mechanic a lot better. Basking Rootwalla is sweet but has nothing that ties to insanity or being discarded at all.

My guess is that madness itself will be centered in R/U or maybe R/B for limited with only a few cards in other colors at higher rarities. It won't be as crazy as Odyssey because it'll only be the main thing in a slice of the format instead of the entire set. There will still be discard matters in other colors, like the pair of land-based cards in green from that leak, but they won't go as deep. That's my two cents anyway.

Having been on the opposing side of Moat or Wrath with Force backup in the olden days, I can definitely vouch that it's only good in/against unfair decks is ridiculous.

It wouldn't have been as splashy, but phyrexian mana probably should have been tied to generic mana costs instead of the colored component.

I would never rare redraft at a store with randos, but it's a reasonable way to split a box with friends who are roughly equal in skill level.

As someone who watches but doesn't play Modern, I think Eye and one of Simian Spirit Guide or Temple eat bans when SOI drops. I think Spirit Guide might be more likely just because it also keeps Goryo's shenanigan decks slightly more in check as well.
