Lottery of Babylon posted:Controversial take: they could have printed planeswalkers who are not Bolas, but are also not Standard's third copy of each member of the Jacetice League. Yes we all want more of such memorable characters and Arlinn Kord and Dovin Baan and Saheeli Rai. But seriously though, Sorin Nahiri and ObNix are ok.

Set's fun. Built some control decks because, "no one plays agro in sealed," and got rolled by glorybringers etc etc. Don't just sit there cycling is all I can say. RUGw with sweltering suns, heaven to earth, good red removal, 2 trials and 3 cartouches, spring to mind, bounty of the luxa, and big green fatties was dope as hell to play though.

There was a wotc person spellslinging at the lgs who had a sealed deck that was 1 drake haven, 1 faith of the devoted, 1 archfiend of ifnir, land, and the rest cyclers. It was so stupid and good.

How many tokens do you need to get in a game to make it worth it? 3-4? That's not asking very much at all. Same for rummages. We'll see how they do in draft but in sealed they're certainly playable.

Whole lotta bad opinions it today. Top ban was years overdue, and the handwringing in here about standard is just precious.  In other news they've tried fixing the go to combat shortcut: https://blogs.magicjudges.org/telliott/2017/04/24/policy-changes-for-amonkhet/

ThePeavstenator posted:How is complaining about standard still being bad handwringing? Does disliking something disqualify you from wanting it to get better? Who says I wouldn't want it to get better? But all this "standard is hosed" overblown whining is exemplary. It didn't get much better with the last bannings as I recall and to write off an entire new set as irrelevant is, unless you've been testing yourself, also classic for this type of player. Just a reminder, when they last made standard bans they said "we don't usually do this so just because we did recently don't expect more soon." I could totally see them go another five years without one no matter how much people tiresomely chatter about it.

I also know at least a dozen legacy only players. They fly out to eternal weekend and poo poo every year too. You have to live in the right part of the country to see them imo.

ZeroCount posted:kinda weird that they felt legacy was a less healthy format than the current standard That's looking at it backwards. The question they asked was which format would the improvement from a change outweigh the disadvantages. That was clearly true for legacy and less so for standard.

Sickening posted:Definitely. Whoever decided that cards needed to be "pushed" at all hosed up the balance of the format. It is kinda odd that they go on and on about making a format deep enough that they can't solve it themselves then seed cards that are head and shoulders above the rest. Like, do you want the rest of them to be eclipsed or what?

I mean their logic doesn't make sense (of course new decks are going to be experimental and unoptimized and will lose) but w/e I'm proud they actually did it.

mandatory lesbian posted:i think I'm gonna draft tonight, I missed the pre-release so tell me, in the all of a week this set has been draftable, anything standing out as good. This question is so ridiculously open ended, draft is self correcting, and it will all depend on your seat and the pack particulars of that one event, so, yes. A good draft deck will be good. Generally I think all the archetypes can get there. RB and RW beats & tricks. UW UG Tempo, UB cycling, BG Counters. Haven't seen much BW.

What's your purpose here? Even if you could get people to agree I'm not sure what you can learn that you couldn't just by pondering to yourself for a minute or two. Spoiler alert: Most decks will be 42-50% against the majority of other decks.

After a series of unfortunate encounters with Glorybringer I was playing in the 0-X end of the LGS at the prerelease and the amount of poo poo that people were getting wrong was really bad. Way too much for me to point it out and help while still finishing my own match on time, unfortunately. People getting bullied out of using fan bearers because they don't understand priority and the judge clearly not realizing it, etc etc.

Actually Huang was cool with it but it was a feature match and the judge there overheard it and paused the game and forced the dude to abide by the letter of the rules.

Dehtraen posted:"I chose to have a judge enforce the choice he made rather than proceeding with the game without calling a judge and assuming Borborygmos Enraged had been named. The judge enforced the rules without making an exception, and my opponent was not allowed to name the card he wanted. I don’t feel great about winning that way, but I don’t feel that bad either." Huh looks like he changed his tune, my bad. Anyways, remember when magic was cool and not lame superhero league knockoffs with boring one dimensional characters? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwIPwi_FSVc
