Is there a thread for eternal brawl, or is it too niche to have people discussing it?

Beating mono-U on the play is tough. Beating it in the mirror looks almost impossible.

I like it against both monocolor aggro decks, honestly, though it's particularly soul-crushing when it resolves against mono-blue.

The hat combined with the doomstare is an incredible combo.

Not gonna lie, I thought the planeswalkers thing was something made up by a dude on the internet because it was so over-the-top bad.

There's a chance this isn't terrible though, if WotC has genuinely shifted the acceptable design space for planeswalkers. The 3-mana walkers in current standard are pretty neat and not particularly problematic, for example.

Kamigawa's theme got me back into Magic when I thought I was done with the game, thankfully just in time for the excellence that was Ravnica/Time Spiral. While Kamigawa is far from my favorite set, it has a ton of my favorite cards and art in it. Not surprising to me that people want to give it another go with better mechanical design.

I would play exactly the same way, which is to say I would flip the table rather than having to play monopoly.

If one cannonade isn't enough, Expansion on Fiery Cannonade is a better answer than trying to run Gates Ablaze. Being sorcery speed is agony in a Reclamation deck.

I was pessimistic, but everything shown so far looks like a positive direction for both planeswalker design and the game's health. Well, unless Proliferate breaks the game in half.

Single Combat seems way worse than just casting one of the many, many wrath effects in standard.

The existing Wraths don't hit planeswalkers though. That wouldn't be enough to justify the card normally but there's about to be an assload of PWs in standard. I don't think it's a huge upgrade over Nova/Kayas but it could have a place.

That assumes they have multiple planeswalkers out. It could happen in War, but I'd rather just wrath the vast majority of the time.

You know, when people talk about milling someone out as a real win condition in standard, it usually isn't milling yourSELF out. Jace is looking awfully legit though. Not necessarily as a gimmick wincon, but as a card machine that happens to give you an extra out.

Surprised to see zero Saheeli in those 5-0 decks. Might be just too slow to generate value I guess?

The Mastery System seems weird? Aside from there being two tracks I don't see how this is an upgrade from the usual weekly bonus thing.

It's an upgrade to WotC's bank account.

If we are being reductive enough to call boosters "lootboxes", then the problem is MTG, not the Mastery pass. In which case you should lobby constantly to make it a LCG. Good luck with that

Been doing that for twenty years.

I miss the Netrunner LCG at times.

I really like Feather, but Simic flash is a nightmare unless you can get onto the board before the shields go up. You've got a lot of space dedicated to stuff that isn't creatures but relies on creatures, so if they counter your creatures...
