The modern Eldrazi deck (that was the reason for the Eye and Temple spikes, I think?) is on right now.

Errant Gin Monks posted:You made me look this up. Yup. Online its a reasonable 5 tix, which is still a 500% increase. Besides a few cards (IoK, Damnations in the side, Ulamog) the deck is one of the cheapest available online it seems.

Balon posted:Is there any reason the Modern BW Eldrazi deck runs Damnation as opposed to Wrath of God? From what i can tell the deck runs just as much black-producing lands as white-producing lands. It runs Urborg. It could probably run Wrath or Day without a ton of punishment, but Damnation is basically always turned on while the white wraths could possibly be blank edit: the budget option would probably be to run Mutilate or Languish, both of which don't hit Tasigur, Goyf etc on turn 4 Terrible Horse fucked around with this message at 02:35 on Jan 3, 2016 |

TheKingofSprings posted:It is when it's on your opponent's turn, which is generally where you want to be for a counterspell. It seems like a protective counterspell. This is like the third "control mirror" card we've seen, did WOTC think control would somehow be dominating?

Sickening posted:The fact that a website like http://mtgstocks.com/ exists is just embarrassing. I especially like the part where they have a ticker at the top, you know, to give you that stock trader "feel". Just saw this come along: Attrition▲$14.86(+200.2%) Attrition▼$8.99(-18.3%) First is the Urza's Destiny printing, second is Commander. Is this due to that stupid original art only format?

Hellsau posted:There's definitely no excuse for not doing a redraw if it's just two cards and not a full four. It's because WOTC is a Scrooge McDuck company who nickel and dime at every turn, and sales keep going up even when they resort to webcomic-levels of laziness.

Kilo147 posted:No, no, no. Emrakul doesn't even need to notice Jace exists. While Chandra is doing her Flame On! poo poo, Nissa is doing her leyline thing, and Gideon is whipping it, Jace does his aspegers math, and realizes that in order for it to work, 2+3 must equal 0 and suffers an aneurysm, killing him. Then everyone else runs, gets Ugin and he flips the remaining Oathkeepers off and jumps to Dominaria. Since they are probably going the Lovecraft/horror/Cthulu version of Emrakul, Jace could just be driven mad by glimpsing him and we get the school-shooter version of Sarkhan the Mad

Mtgo looks and feels cheap and is clunky to use sometimes, all of which is forgiven because it lets you draft whenever without interacting with the more abhorrent players. What feels really bad is that they charge the same for modo product as they do for paper. Which I know is our fault because we keep buying them, but charging 4 bucks for a pack of "cards" that cost 0 to produce is gross. Not sure about Mtgo user numbers going up or down, but for me personally, I easily did 100 drafts of Innistrad alone, and I do like 3 a year now

AlternateNu posted:Yeah, that's why I'm asking. The biggest threat it doesn't hit is Batterskull. Not sure if that limitation is worth not giving your opponent 1/5 their starting life back. A general rule is that life is a less valuable resource than cards and board presence. Taking out their Batterskull or other threat is almost always going to be worth the life.

stinkles1112 posted:Shock with an upside is currently in standard. Overall lower power levels would be fine, but creatures continue to get better and spells keep getting nerfed. Rhino and Mantis Rider would be fine if we still had Bolt/Doom Blade/Mana Leak/Day of Judgement, but instead we have lovely spells that cant handle things efficiently which makes everybody just play their own pushed creatures and smash em into each other.

Hellsau posted:This deck is fine, but it's slow and from what I've seen it's just worse than Kuldotha Jeskai. It seems like the only matchup it's actually better at is Familiar, and then it's only if they kept a hand that's weak to Acid on a bounceland. The deck is just so drat slow to start. I play pauper and I haven't built and played Acid Trip yet, but I've played against it and its a real, but grindy, deck

Konstantin posted:I don't know why Wizards doesn't push paper pauper. Seriously, sell the top decks as $10 Pauper event decks, and have a Pauper FNM. You can do one for each color, plus artifacts, and get most of the strong archtypes. It's a wonderful way to get into tournament Magic, and people who rightly refuse to pay hundreds for a Standard deck can play something competitive for cheap. Maybe even have a Pauper GP at some point. because that would not make them outrageous amounts of money?

Who makes a good commentator seems to be very hard to predict. Kenji and PV, both great players, got their shot and were underwhelming and don't seem to be invited back anytime soon. Huey surprisingly resulted in a ton of dead air when I was watching, despite LSV and Marshall's best efforts. Randy is terrible but keeps reappearing. Who knows.

Chill la Chill posted:I didn't read anything about a man calling himself trick getting fired. Are we sure this is the right announcement? Pretty sweet that a "Global Community Manager" can communicate so badly that his community ignites in near-unanimous disapproval, to the point where his boss needs to step in and do damage control, and he still gets to come to the office the next day. Maybe WOTC isn't such a bad place to work.

Gridlocked posted:Have we ever discussed opinions on the Limited Resources podcast? I've only recently added it to my commute podcast rotation, but its enjoyable if you like those guys. It has some problems (Marshall's 'durr what would you do here lsv?' thing that works great in coverage is not quite what you wanna hear in a podcast, and most of the time one of them is like 'I like this card, because it provides value' and the other is like 'same') but they are two people I like to listen to, so.
