GrandpaPants posted:Doesn't Emry have Affinity for Artifacts but they don't call it Affinity for Artifacts? Yes, along with the recent tezzeret and tireless tracker for landfall before it, plus others I’m forgetting I’m sure. They’re understandably hesitant to use a keyword for a single card or two in a set.

Retromancer posted:being stupid and unfun has never stopped rulings before. Most cards that have turned out broken have been because of weird edge cases that snap the intent of the card over their knee. Besides them loving around with the errata for time vault, I’m struggling to think of when this has been the case. Most broken cards have been broken because they wreck the game’s resource balance—fast mana, cost reduction, storm, dredge—not because of weird corner cases of the rules. The only thing the o-ring rules trickery broke was modo.

Jabor posted:The ironworks combo shenanigans definitely counts, imo. (You can sacrifice multiple artifacts in the middle of casting a spell or activating an ability, and then get to put all the triggered abilities from them dying on the stack at once. But only if you do it while casting a spell or activating an ability that costs mana.) Yeah, think I blanked kci from my mind. Point still stands tho

Hellsau posted:it played nine green onedrops and four first turn green sources, and inexplicably an Oran-Rief, a tapped green source Thank you for the exact numbers, but ya, they got lucky or they cheated. Deck was nonsense, though you kinda gotta respect Flores for coasting on his one good* article from overish twenty years ago—which I’d still recommend to newer or lapsed players: http://www.starcitygames.com/magic/fundamentals/3692_Whos_The_Beatdown.html *ya ya philosophy of fire was important at the time but isn’t as enlightening these days as who’s the beatdown

suicidesteve posted:Jfc of course it's $50. I knew it would be even before I looked at it. Why would the three card product for children not be. (The answer is it's not actually for children. I know.) But it would have been nice for it to be halfway reasonably costed. I'd have liked to get one for my daughter. It’s for charity if you’d like a justification to get something for your “daughter”

long-rear end nips Diane posted:Y’all are right about it not being a good trade, I was just thinking that I’d rather have a thought erasure veiled than a noxious grasp or a counter. Your gently caress up (it’s okay, we all do it, but, uh, card and mana advantage are pretty important to magic strategy so maybe read some articles on that, idk) is actually a good illustration of why veil is so silly: yes, it’s narrowish but there’s not really a way to ever profitably trade against it when it’s applicable. Which is a problem for a one mana card.

Perhaps I’m inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt since he’s one of the best magic writers; one of my favorite parts of magic was how much written content was made for a game and I’m saddened by the move away from that. But I’m in my 20s and get enraged by news videos instead of articles so I probably just need to learn to love the video (and delivering longer writing broken up in thirty different 140 [or whatever it is now] character chunks, for some reason)??

Packs are generally wasteful but throwing one or two in is fun for a little gambling treat, like cheap scratchers at xmas. Depending on your budget, a nice deck box with a pack and a tcgplayer giftcard inside would please most every magic player (tho clearly some are just impossible)

I tried rabblemasters back when the deck had its moment, first in the sb and then the mb, since I found you’d often stabilize but your clock was so pitiful they’d just rip a karn or prime time and you’d lose. It helped, but not as much as resleeving death’s shadows and blue.
