little munchkin posted:"For reasons completely unrelated to the failure of my rebranding attempt two days ago, I suddenly see the error of my past actions." Yeah. But on the other hand I'm a little more willing to look past it than usual given that it's an actual apology and mea culpa, which is rare enough

I mean how could you not reminisce fondly of Murdergoats? Hell, how could you not reminisce fondly of this thread's love of Murdergoats, for that matter Edit: if you think Adventure is gonna cause memory issues you're just searching for something to complain about. Although I will agree that it's very mildly annoying since the common shorthand for temporary exile is to put that card underneath the card that's temporarily exiling it which you can't do with these, but like... how often is that ever gonna come up, honestly, and is a second pile for Adventure Zone really that cumbersome? sit on my Facebook fucked around with this message at 01:14 on Sep 5, 2019 |

If the accidentally over-pushed card of the set is a removal spell, I'm fine with it. Have you seen the creatures they print these days?!

Just like all mechanics, food is primarily intended to be utilized in limited. There were all of two standard playable cards that used clues and arguably none that used treasure, unless I'm forgetting something

Y'all are crazy if you don't think that's a playable card. It's contextual certainly, there has to be a creature-heavy black midrange deck or something similar, but the power level is obviously there

Just imagine playing the cauldron in a GB beatdown deck with cavalier of thorns. Or a deck with a handful of surveil effects. It's good. Every card is contextual to its format and plenty of good cards never do anything in standard but that's definitely a Good Card

Sickening posted:Lol, I was talking about standard. A deck that had to play powerhouses like Maximize Velocity just to get going. There is a reason it pre-ordered for 2.50 for so long. It's okay man you can just take the L on this one lol I thought it was bad too, it's fine

The black land is so punishing. It's bonkers if you're hellbent but it's a pretty steep cost after that. I think the green one is deceptively good just as an Ancient Tomb for fatties. I mean, in the right deck it's a zero mana ramp spell right?

Sickening posted:Is it really that punishing? You have how many cards in your hand on average when you have enough mana to activate it? Seems like paying 3 or less life to draw a card isn't really that far out of line for decks that can run the land. Yeah it's certainly contextual. It's hard to evaluate because going up a card for no opportunity cost at all can be worth quite a bit, but on the other hand if I'm getting beat down by a million knight tribal and GB stompy decks every round it gets far less appealing

Tom Clancy is Dead posted:Hmm, this is slow. I don't think my GB Adventure Knights is interested in this. I'll try it though, double downfall seems pretty strong. Yeah it's probably not for every deck but imagine going turn two clover, turn three cast Seasonal Ritual adding GG, Heart's Desire creating two 1/1s, cast Lovestruck Beast. Seems pretty brutal. Or even just going turn three double rampant growth with Beanstalk Giant

Lone Goat posted:Riftwing Cloudskate was uncommon and this comparative to that. This card is so, so much better than Cloudskate, it's not even close. This strikes me as possibly the best card spoiled so far for standard and an easy modern playable. As always, contextual, etc etc but this card is obscene
