I feel curmudgeony just looking at those cards and don't want them to be real.

Maybe it's time to take a break if I'm getting cranky about cardboard.

I think that's just the new, no-ambiguities way to say "{1}" now, just because that seems less insane than any alternative.

Well no, it specifically means "1 colourless". It can't mean "{1}" because that is colour agnostic in a cost.

Instant

Destroy Exile target Creature or Planeswalker.

Everyone got their CC statements after buying too much BFZ sealed product hoping for expeditions.

Personally, I haven't been to FNM in about a month, but that's more to do with my kids' bed times.

Yes, it does. A green creature taps for G, and a colourless creature taps for ◇, and you can use either of those to pay the 1 in a cost. You can only use G to pay G, and you can only use ◇ to pay ◇.

Heh, I guess I'm eating my words about this being simple, because... no, right?

quote:

For each colored mana in this spell’s total cost, you may tap an untapped creature of that color you control rather than pay that mana. For each generic mana in this spell’s total cost, you may tap an untapped creature you control rather than pay that mana.

As written you just can't pay ◇ with convoke, right? And that's fine and seems pretty apparent to me, but whatever.

(they'll probably change it?)

They've already kind of had this opportunity for a while when they made artifacts that required coloured mana. I guess this is probably even more freeing though.

Look, I bounced your target so your spell fizzles. Why is that so hard to understand!?

quote:

Coloured artifacts bring in an extra frame, and they don't use them all the time (I think it was because they want to keep artifacts more different from enchantments?).

Also, If you're running an artifact that costs WW, then you can run Path in modern and you don't have to worry about your manabase. If you're running one that costs two colourless then...

Though I guess they don't really design with modern in mind, it's interesting.

So when do we start speculating on Boreal Druid? Or did I miss it?

odiv
Jan 12, 2003

So colourless is not "mana of any colour", right? Like BoP can't tap for it, I'm guessing?

I wonder what kind of interactions or consequences you wouldn't expect because of that.

I'm thinking of stuff like: New Kozilek couldn't be cast as uncounterable with Cavern of Souls if it's one of your only two sources of colourless mana, but could be if it isn't.

Expeditions are a huge miss for me, the absurd rarity ensures that if I open any shiny rare land I'll most likely convert it into multiple non-shiny ones rather than holding onto it.

Yeah, I draft way too little to ever hope to open one of these. And then if you happen to open one online while spending the same amount of cash then woohoo, I guess.

The Canadian dollar is almost down to 70 cents American. Using all of my money to buy singles was apparently a good investment.

Seriously considering picking up the foil Lili down at the LGS now. The price sticker hasn't changed in months while our dollar has been falling.

Then again, I can just hold on to everything forever and then sell them for my retirement. Bubbles never burst, right?

A standard deck which starts with:

4x Gideon, Ally of Zendikar
4x Retreat to Emeria
4x Oath of Gideon
4x Oath of Nissa

Seems like it can't be too bad.

Too affordable. The Retreat is uncommon.

Have we seen anything with a casting/activation cost with C and another colour? We've seen them split like W in the casting cost of Displacer and C in the activation cost. But I don't think we've seen anything like WC yet?

People always say this but then all of these definitely not speculated on cards never show up being played by people. Especially not in the numbers that are suggested by the price increase
You mean in big events or at all? I've definitely bought a bunch of cards online just for poo poo like Game Day and FNM.

:can: So I can't cast Ghostfire with Corrupted Crossroads for red yet, right? Hopefully they errata that soon.

(oh wait, looks like they won't: http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/130173159803/why-not-simply-reprint-ghostfire-with-devoid)
