Bugsy posted:Weren't some of legends for Dragons Maze leaked super early? I was sure it was fake because if they were going to make something completely game changing like new mana symbols, they would have put it in the large fall set, not just the small spring set. But the thing Skitterskin is standing on does look like the weird Bismuth thing that the Wastes is portraying, so I don't even know what's going on. Bismuth is sweet though.

If Stoneforge was a demonic tutor for batterskull that also made your opponent discard a removal spell, it would still be really really good.

The way Kozilek is described is super cool, it really sells his presence as incomprehensible and other-worldly.quote:The world seemed to bend around him, as though he were its center. Those perfect black shards above his head seemed to draw in light itself. She couldn't understand the shape of them, or whether they were even solid. Where they overlapped, they seemed to merge together. They weren't objects, or even shapes—they were holes in space

I think there's 10 lands in the deck that aren't fetch lands, so yeah, that probably won't happen. If you really wanted something to be unblockable though, Rogue's Passage is cheaper than Coralhelm Guide.

You just have to realize that everything on Grixis sounds like power metal bands or albums, and it becomes way more forgivable. Thraximundar would be a fantastic 80's power metal name. Who wouldn't listen to "Killer of Kings" by the band Unscythe? "Cruel Ultimatum" by Prince of Thralls?

Entropic posted:I liked Origins for being the most straight-forward draft set in recent memory. It got a lot of people at my LGS into drafting because they were able to feel like they were actually figuring out the format and learning how to properly make picks that mattered. And then they got dropped in the deep end with BFZ... I would think that Origins would be a pretty bad beginning set just because it's full of traps and is very punishing if don't draft it correctly. They had all of these neat themes like B/G Elves, R/U Artifacts, etc and all of them are terrible. You want to build a cool U/B self mill graveyard zombie reanimation deck? You will lose to white and red two drops. It's sort of like Gatecrash in that it's a format ruled by 2 drops. You must play something on turn two, and if you don't, you fall so far behind. I thought it was the worst format since Avacyn. Learning from Origins and then going straight to something like Zendikar would be pretty confusing, where aggro is fairly weak and you absolutely must have a synergistic deck to win. I think Theros was the best beginners set in recent history because even though it introduced new mechanics, they were all straight forward and all of the synergies and ideas were clear and decently powerful. Yawgmoth posted:Nothing will ever top going p1p1 Thoughtseize, p1p2 Cryptic Command for me. In Theros, I had P1P1 Thoughtseize, P1P2 Hero's Downfall, P1P3 and P4 Grey Merchants. That was a silly draft.

Angry Grimace posted:Matt Sperling started an ethics column on CFB which appears to have no reason to exist other than as a soapbox to excuse Bob Huang's Borboygmos bullshit. It only gets more comical when Bob Huang himself shows up in the comments to say "meh, that was a lovely thing to do I shouldn't have done it." I love that Bob seems genuinely regretful, and Matt replies that he's only protecting his reputation, like "Aw Gotcha, Bob  we all knock you're a piece of poo poo".

Him and LSV are probably my favorite magic personalities, so this is the first top 8 I actually am sort of interested in. Plus it's the dude's first ever pro tour, he's not part of any team, and did minimal testing. Also 6/8 decks being Eldrazi means something in that deck is eating a ban before the year is over.

Tail Slash and Fall of the Hammer were both pretty high picks, and green having generally beefier creatures than red means this is probably pretty good in limited.

sarmhan posted:Prey upon was very good in Innistrad yes. This is probably even better. Fall of the Hammer and Tail slash were first-pick quality in their formats, and again this is in the better color that otherwise gets no removal. This is easily the best green common so far, and likely the best period. I don't think we've seen any common removal spells so far that are this good, except maybe fiery temper. This will be a high pick in draft.

Man, Goldknight Castigator is one of the biggest trap cards in a while, especially in a limited format with white and blue enchantment removal, and a common that gives double strike.
