Sampatrick posted:I will build an EDH deck when they unban Recurring Nightmare. I'm still mad that somehow that card is banned. Like, c'mon, you can cast Reanimate in a format with 40 life but you can't cast Recurring Nightmare? It makes me so mad. There are losts of dumb things (mainly in blue) that are not banned just because Sheldon and co. like them.

My promo was the black god. I lost my first two rounds (match 1 was close, match 2 my opponent got the Pervert out both times turn 4 with no way for me to kill it, basically.) I switch over to UR because my black was the weaker color. Won my next two matches with 2 Reduce to Rubble and the non-Spellheart Chimera. Red seems really good in this set.

TheKingofSprings posted:1) That's not everyone who plays those formats Standard is actually the cheapest it has been since as long as I have been playing (Innistrad.) I'm actually really enjoying standard right now around me because no one is playing Mardu or Gideon. The entire "value" of standard is tied up in 3 cards: Gideon, Balistia, Liliana. It is also funny that the only format that was able to fix itself somewhat without banning was Modern.

Hellsau posted:I don't understand how not banning things somehow gets more people to be confident in buying into Standard. I bought into Marvel deck for a few local tournaments, and it was pretty okay but the lottery aspect was real stupid. Then they basically banned it out of the format. Yeah Emrakul was pretty unfun and dumb and ubiquitous, so I'm fine with that banning, if hey're going to ban other cards in standard that are dumb and unfun and ubiquitous. The only deck I would be willing to play in Standard is Cat Combo. The combo is are much of the metagame as Emrakul decks were in the previous season, with significantly less variety among the decks, and a dumb turn 4 combo that just strangles a large number of potential archetypes is pretty much the same effect Emrakul had where you couldn't have a long game that was better than casting Emrakul, but in addition the combo also stops stuff like the Colossus or Aetherflux Reservoir or ramp decks from existing. The combo has all the same effects that Emrakul had on the format, yet WotC is just...leaving it around? If I bought into that deck and it got banned, I'd feel like a real idiot because obviously it was going to get banned, but if it doesn't get banned then it stopped me from buying into the format while also enabling the least interesting Pro Tour. I think this is funny because most of the Copycat decks are also playing Marvel. You have one with Ulamog and one without.

cheetah7071 posted:Was wizards ever good at making sets or was the perceived goodness just a combination of the pre-internet world and dumb luck? They really felt they could do no wrong (in terms of growing the base) from 09-14. Every change they have made has been made under the caveat of "game is still growing, attendance is up, this is working!" But what comes up must come down. Through a combination of changes, like removing alot of instant speed answers, overpowering marquee planeswalkers/story cards, and changing things that used to be staples of the game and saying they were "too powerful," have all come to bite them on the rear end. Take for example the axing of Birds of Paradise as a one-drop. When you used to have 2-3 mana accelerator one-drops in standard, now we have none. Why? The reason stated is they were too powerful. They were not too powerful, the 2-3-4-5 drops are. Hitting your land drops and stop-this-or-die fatties on curve (or in case of Marvel, a broken curve) has never been more important for standard since I began playing. They have continued to remove the only ways a slower deck can come back from doing nothing on their turn. Turn 1-2 has never been more important to the game. You screw up one turn, you're losing. All in the cause of removing complexity, or feelbads, or whatever, from the game.

Anyone complaining about standard prices now is wrong. Everything that costs money is playable in other formats. This is nothing compared to BFZ monstrosity standard, where standard decks cost as much ad modern decks. 200-300 is the top right now, and several of those could be made for cheaper. 150-250 standard is probably where is probably where it should go, and before the next set it will be there.

Modern Jund seems like a better place for Harzoret. They are usually playing helbent anyway after a Lili. It is a different style of 4-drop for Jund though. The other ones Jund would play (Kalitas, Olivia, Huntmaster) are much more about stabilizing while this one is aggro.

Angry Grimace posted:Yes there is. Lost Legacy would cause you to draw a card and if you assume it's 100% dead in his hand (having looked at his hand and knowing what is in it), perhaps you'd rather not give him anything. Even if Fabiano only had 4-5 lands I don't see a time where you would leave it in the hand.

suicidesteve posted:It sounds like they're like the FFL but for design instead of development. i.e. They would look at cards and say mechanics and say "hey maybe printing these extremely powerful, colorless artifacts that attack and are immune to sorcery speed removal is bad and we should do something else." or "let's not print another cost reducing mechanic because we've had about 200 broken cards with a cost reduction mechanic and exactly 4 that aren't broken." It seems like they made a group whose goal is to actually make the "best deck" in the format every time instead of the FFL who spend alot of time playing with niche cards to see if people could make a deck out of them.

Hellsau posted:The Wits deck is reasonably consistent and it just wins some matchups. Slide in particular can't beat Battle of Wits. I lost 0-2 to slide. Burning Wish is a powerful card. I actually had the Wits with Counterspell backup but they had already Wished for the first enchantment wrath. I counter that, but they Wish for the other. I don't know why the Wits deck doesn't have a Wrath in it besides Void. Gauntlet was fun, I had never played these decks before since I started playing 10 years after this. Things like this and draft flashbacks are what makes MTGO fun. I think Standard is pretty good right now, but I still see people are complaining about "THEY TALKED ABOUT TEMUR TOWER ONCE IN A BAN UPDATE THEY ARE PUSHING THAT poo poo TO THE MOON IT loving SUCKS" narrative. Tower was a cool deck.
