Why drive a car with a car when you could drive THIS with a car?



also here's not-tragic arrogance stapled to a 4/5



Cataclysmic Gearhulk 3WW
Artifact Creature - Construct
Vigilance
"When Cataclysmic Gearhulk enters the battlefield, each player chooses an artifact, a creature, an enchantment, and a planeswalker among nonland permanents he or she controls. Then, sacrifice the rest."
4/5

Note it's each player chooses, not you choose. Still seems cool.

I can appreciate they're mixing it up, but I don't think anything should be called a Stomper without Trample

I don't want to get into another debate about the reserved list really but just wanted to share my thoughts currently.

First legacy deck I want to make and it's death and taxes (very similar to one of my modern decks that's why it appealed. Don't judge me!) everything is basically fine, although aether vials strike me as insane as it was an uncommon (which I gave away back in DST >_<), unfortunately the list relies on rishadan port. So drat expensive, I am a magic player with a long history, large collection and many decks and even I find it insane that I have to pay over 200 pounds just for one set of lands which are not even that great and not in many/(any?) other decks. Simply because it's reserved and the deck has gained some light recently.

TL;DR: if long time magic players can't even get into legacy what hope is there for anyone else?

Are we supposed to make fun of him because Rishadan Ports aren't Volcanics or Cradles? Because the cardboard yachtsmen club is a bit further down the sub forum

The Rhino doesn't have trample or drain life so its obvious garbage from a design standpoint.

Speaking of Rhinos, at Modern night, the judge on Abzan threw three Siege Rhinos in a row at me, and I only won because he Nature's Claimed two of my Spreading Seas. gently caress you Siege Rhino!

(despite a 3-1 record I came in fourth, gently caress Elves so much. I would suck a dick to see a Heritage Druid ban)

The life gain is marginal for most matchups, but the tap effect one turn earlier than, say, Blind Obedience, can be huge.

This is something that is still bugging me after I saw the full set. It is supposed to take place in a plane similar to ancient Greece so someone would expect the artwork to be relevant. Well, it is but only to some extent. Browsing through the cards I noticed a lot of the images depicting Africans, NOT Greeks. Since when my country is in Africa?

The first people to settle Greece came up from Africa, and for centuries afterwards there was trade across the Mediterranean which brought black (the Greek catch-all for them was "Ethiopian") traders, expatriates, and even slaves, after the defeat of Xerxes. Art from the time following Alexander suggests blacks were a significant minority in Greece, often taking up occupations as athletes or performers. So Arena Athlete is actually almost accurate

I like to picture Ajani as a member of The New Day.

Ajani is obviously Big E

But with the Eldrazi wrapped up for now, aren't Ugin and Bolas due for a rematch? Ajani already won round one, and his appearance does seem forced.

I thought in one of the Magic video games he had a hedron crammed in his face which suppressed his ability to planeswalk (where said hedron was taken from Ob Nixilis, allowing him to get his groove back)

Nah, it just prevented him from turning into a demon like Nixilis and destroying Shandalar. He's still hunting and killing any Planeswalker he runs into.

Went 8-0-0 at Modern today with UW Merfolk, Path to Exile is so much more satisfying than Vapor Snag.

I also got my comeuppance against the Elves I lost to last week, first time when he got greedy swinging in for lethal with Ezuri, when I had 6 power of blockers to trade with that rear end in a top hat who thankfully can't regenerate himself. From there I slowly climbed back when all he was hitting was dorks.

Next game, when we were both down to 6 with fat boards, I swing in for 32 islandwalk.

His last card in hand? Fog.

My last card in hand? Swan Song :getin:

Protection is still in the game and you have to deal with it in the random circumstance that an Emrakul would die to a Kozilek's Return trigger
