I'm now imagining a police officer rolling into a game store to conduct interviews and gather evidence for a police report on fraudulent Mishra's Baubles circulating in the community and witnessing one of these beyond pathetic tirades and just turning right back out the door.

mandatory lesbian posted:i dont know why you quoted me when it seems you agree with what i said? unrelated to mtg but a thing i've always found cool is how people default to thinking "someone quoted me" = "they wanna fight!", and then you just get someone enthusiastically agreeing with you and it short-circuits your brain. i do it, too, it's just funny. edit: and speaking of cost-reduction mechanics, i actually loving love Improvise. it plays so well in limited with how they supported it with cheap artifacts that give just-little enough value on their own that they really need to combine with Improvise to be playable. you occasionally get big blowout turns with it, especially something like curving that 3UR guy that spits out 2 thopters into a 2nd improvise spell with the thopters in the same turn, but on the whole it just feels so nicely balanced.

I'm fine with them leaving the format be (though banning a format-warping infinite combo in Standard would be completely justified obviously); what's weirder is squaring away this B&R with the last one where they erred on the much more liberal side of "banning cards just for being good".

Just keeping everything straight since the thread moves fast: if you don't have a car you're not allowed to play magic, and if you teach children you're not allowed to get hammered, thanks./

MM17 is a great draft format, and I've only just done my first one. Thinking person's format with access to great mana fixing, a fairly flat power-level across cards, powerful and synergistic commons, and no discernible hint of a real menacing aggro foil. My kind of limited format for sure.

I actually wish Drake Haven were an uncommon that they could power down by making it 3U and/or pump out 1/1 flying thopters, just so there's a higher chance to see one in limited. Build-around enchantments are what make limited so fun.

The Trial/Cartouche cycle are loving amazing for limited and exactly the sort of enchantment matters theme that would have been awesome to have in Theros, the enchantment matters set, lol.

I guess that's why it got bumped up to rare. and people say WOTC doesn't print powerful instants or sorceries anymore

Whether embalm puts it over the top will in some part depend on how prevalent all of white's enchantment-based exile removal is, I'd think. Or a 4-mana clone with flashback might still just be bad even if all removal just destroys, who knows.

DangerDongs posted:Why would there be a split. Glimmer scries and turns on Aether Hub. The new card allows you cycle early if you are in a oh poo poo moment and already losing; you might as well pay 1 more mana for anticipate and dig. Cycling has value outside of "oh poo poo I'm about to lose" moments and is precisely the sort of ability that can help a control deck smooth out games where it would otherwise have no early game action. 1 mana is also a lot different than 2, particularly in a control deck where you're trying to make as much room for interaction as possible in the early game. This gives you something to do on turn 1, and with enough other 1 and 2 mana interaction cards (like, say, Harnessed Lightning), the ability to cycle this + cast Harnessed Lightning on turn 3, or this + Fatal Push on turn 2 is meaningfully better than having to pick between it and another 2-mana card on turn 3. Flexible cards always look A control deck also presumably wouldn't care that much about powering up an Aether Hub on turn 4+.

Memoricide for Artifacts: Name an artifact card. Search target player's graveyard, hand, and library for any number of cards with that name and exile them. Then that player shuffles his or her library.
