He's still got one or two on his side but yeah, it looks like a lot of the Ravnica players did an about face when they realized his plan was to gently caress them over and destroy the guilds they'd just taken control of e: Yeah and Kaya probably got played. Her story makes it seem like she's an Assassin with a heart of gold

Count Bleck posted:Probably less of assassin with heart of gold and more of took over the guild full of undead to remove them. And then her boss walks up with an army of undead. I mean her deal is getting rid of spirits who torment the living. Given how the guild operates, Bolas could have easily sold her on "these ghostly fucks are just hanging around, making people miserable, loving them over" and it's not even a lie e: Dr. Red Ranger posted:Since when does Boros have sky battleships with lasers? Does Golgari have giant cartoon drill tanks with ants painted on the side like a Ninja Turles villain? Because I hope to run 4 of them if possible. P sure they had them in original ravnica to fight off the Simic Assault Zepplids or whatever

ItBreathes posted:Have they answered why anyone would give a gently caress about Ravnica? There are effectively an infinite number of planes, the odds that a Planeswalker has been to any given one is tiny, and they literally aren't impacted at all by what happens on any plane but the one theyre on right now. At least with Dominaria you had the conceit that all roads led there, and I think something about it having better mana, Ravincas just some place with a city. Because Ravnica is an infinite city and those probably aren't common among the planes. It's a place where planeswalkers of every color can likely find something that appeals to them, and probably a place where you can buy or find almost anything. As more planeswalkers end up there, it also probably became a place where they could meet up and get lost in the crowds. You'd give a poo poo about Ravnica for the same reason you'd give a poo poo about New York, Tokyo, or Paris.

Entropic posted:Was turn 1 necro ever even really a thing? Isn’t the normal play pattern to dump out the rest of your hand and then play Necro when you need to refill? depended on the time and what was in your hand. Most of the time T1 Hymn was a better play, but getting early CA from Necro wasn't bad, esp when the plan was to wipe the board with disc anyways

Sickening posted:Is being able to counter creatures better than exiling, not losing life, and being reasonably hard castable? I don't think so, but not being able to use it for protection on your turn if you tap out is a big downside I think it's pretty great overall and much more interesting a card than Force. I'm a big fan of them adding cards on this power level

uggy posted:double post but this set feels very difficult to evaluate. there's a lot coming out at once so seeing what slots in is the first approach but I sorta feel like there are cards that are gonna need a lot of time to realize their power. It's a good set I agree with you. There's a lot of "this will/won't fit into X deck" but I expect a much larger upheaval of the format as a result of this many playable cards entering the format at once. At the very least, predictions with so much of the set remaining to be spoiled will likely miss a lot of other factors. Set looks lit AF

Zonekeeper posted:Also the spell becomes cheaper if you overload it, which I think is a new take on that keyword's design space. yeah I love this aspect of it. Really interesting design and I hope they do more with that One of the things I really like about this set is that while I think the set is great, they've definitely left quite a bit of space to work with and revisit in future set (or two, even). Really hoping this does well and we get a MH2

vegetables posted:That’s a hard question to answer without knowing how much the price would vary; I would guess “by an enormous amount.” But I imagine even the cheapest possible cube Wizards would sell would still cost a hefty sum of money? They usually release 4-5 Commander decks every year, those are about on the level of what I'd expect power-wise, and they run 100 cards exact with basics at $40 apiece. You'd need 550-600 non-basic land cards for a Cube, so probably somewhere around $200. Maybe the market would buy that?

Lone Goat posted:a box of Modern Horizons contains 540 cards and retails for about $200 and it's not a curated set. Commander is a product that already exists that sells 500 curated cards for $200 and that seems like a reasonable benchmark to me. Maybe $250, but I don't think the value they'd put into a legacy cube would be as high as a box of Modern Horizons or Ultimate Masters e: Kalli's right on here with how the card value would be distributed.

ShadeofBlue posted:Aren’t a solid 150 or so of those basic lands though? If you want a 540 sized cube with commander level value, it’s going to be more like $300. Lands cost the same to print as anything else. The cost incurred by Commander sets is in developing new cards, which this wouldn't require. I suspect they'd try to keep prices under 300 for marketability.
