Sampatrick posted:Tezzeret, the Seeker and Ugin probably. Maybe Nahiri? I can't see why Ugin-as-commander would need an EDH ban, he's not uncounterable, doesn't have an on-cast effect, costs 7 and won't even blow up everybody's lands if he resolves and minuses without some other combo piece. You'd probably make it into a really broken deck but that's because any colorless EDH deck has to be full of broken combos so as to not be total garbage Nahiri can't grab emrakul since she's already banned so would probably also be fine Tezz would have to go though

Sampatrick posted:No, it's just absurdly good as a ramp/control tool. You cast it on t4/5 and repeatedly wrath the board. If they deal with it, you just do it again. Repeat this process ad nauseum. Playing against Ugin would be positively miserable for every party involved. I feel like trying to do that on mono-colorless is just going to get you killed against anything with any interaction but then i've played plenty of edh games where everybody involved felt like having interaction in their deck or winning from an empty board was bad so

TheAsterite posted:People are complaining about the high prices of modern, there's no way they're going to get into legacy with authentic cards. Though I don't understand the mentality of wanted to purchase a modern deck all at once and needing to do it now. only reason i have a modern deck at all (tron) is b/c i picked it up exploiting price differences from MM2 it'd cost a helluva lot more to just buy these days

TheAsterite posted:Right, and I put off building a modern deck until fetches got reprinted. I get that they're still expensive, but all modern cards will eventually get reprinted, just gotta be patient and watch the market. well the problem is if you tell people to wait years to play modern when they don't want to waste money on standard decks that'll rotate out and like constructed more than limited then you're basically just saying magic is terrible and you should go play a more modern card game instead which is true but not a good look E: example, I am cautiously optimistic about new l5r

Marketing New Brain posted:The restriction is you have to fill your deck with cards that give you energy, and have said energy, and the marvel. This is slightly different than BBE, where the restriction is fill your deck with cards. Running the full 4 Ulamog, your chances of hitting one off a spin, even if you haven't drawn any, are lower than 50 percent. That also required you drew and activated Marvel. I personally like the deck but it's about as fair as it could possibly be. Nah, it could come into play tapped and that would be as fair as it could possibly be

Tales of Woe posted:Ixalan (the upcoming fall set) will get a small set called Rivals of Ixalan in January as usual, but that will be the last small set ever. after that it'll be 3 standalone large sets and a core set each year, with no fixed rules about how many sets the story spends on each world before moving along. basically they realized that most players prefer large sets and standalone limited formats and took that to its conclusion while giving the story/creative team more flexibility. moving away from fixed rules is a really good move, probably because i started playing regularly with theros i always go back to that block as like the perfect example of a great set that just got worse with each release also im an idiot moron who is going to have to come back to prerelease an unset since i missed the originals and really enjoyed the conspiracy draft format

there's no way to turn programs back into hands  wait so presumably if this gets vaporized nobody gets to touch any of the cards in programs but only cards they draw into their hands that now exist, while the programs sit lonely and forelorn no wonder they made this edh legal its a judge's holy grail atelier morgan fucked around with this message at 03:51 on Jan 17, 2018 |

Tubgoat posted:I forgot about Reflector Mage's clause about a quarter of the time. Banning it in standard was the right thing to do. Ain't defendin' this feller, just that it's a reasonable mistake under most circumstances. When you gently caress up in your favor twice on camera you've also done it dozens and dozens of times off camera. I swear to god if any other competitive scene was run like magic you'd have people constantly apologizing for folks getting caught with aimbots or an entire shelf full of steroids in their locker as 'just a one time mistake'

Also I'd probably suggest you make multiple decks! And let them play with them and tell them about what you made and why so they get interested in the mechanics of deckbuilding and can see how effective that is first hand
