You are never going to see a free sacrifice outlet attached to a bear ever again.

Seriously. Maybe you could wait and let people you like get paid by a company that makes a game that you like give previews for a thing that you're probably going to spend money on instead of giving click revenue to Mythic Spoiler for the umpteenth time

Mmmmmaybe? Tempo very much wants a series of 1/1s as opposed to a 1/1 that keeps getting bigger. Also Amass is super parasitic, so time will tell if the payoff is worth having to jam X many Amass cards into your deck.

Currently my gut says "no, but expect to occasionally get blown up by people trying to force it on ladder".

is amass really that parasitic? outside of the set it'd just be your standard "create a 1/1 token" rider
Granted it's still early in spoiler season, but I've yet to see a single card with Amass that's playable in a non-Amass deck.

Maaaaaybe the R 1/1

EDIT: In Constructed. In Limited, yeah, Amass.dec is totally going to be a thing

Anyone else excited for forcing jank in WAR? I'm shoving Cruel Celebrant into B/W Tempo, want to see where Saheeli will fit in Drakes, and am super pumped to cast Quasiduplicate on Gleaming Overseer over and over again.

I'm not sure if jamming 4x Corpse Knight 4x Cruel Celebrant 4x March of the Multitudes into a magical Christmasland Abzan tokens deck is GOOD, but it sure is fun

Looting needs to go, it's a lynchpin in too many degenerate strategies.

Bridge is just a badly designed Magic card. When a card's power level is unaffected by increasing it's mana cost by, I dunno let's say 10, it's usually a sign that that card is too good.

Veil Of Summer is the one of the biggest and most satisfying gently caress Yous in the history of Magic and I'm lowkey obsessed with it

Is there any particular reason Embodiment of Agonies treats split cards as a single card when determining unique casting costs? I could sworn it would treat them separately, but MTGArena says differently.

This thread (and Magic players in general) can be kinda bad at distinguishing between strategic breakage and structural breakage when it comes to both game design and whether or not a card should be banned. Banning a card because it results in a play pattern that's too far from what the designers intended is perfectly reasonable.

Banning non-interactive decks out of the format is a thing I'm totally fine with.
