Got the seeing visions drop because I genuinely like those arts as a collection piece and the card stock feels actually good. Not warped at all for any of the people that were concerned. Also got a fancy ashiok that I'm gonna swap into my Jund sb for sure

Two weeks ago I was at a 1k where traditional affinity got to the top 4, I had never expected to see that deck again a long time ago and now I'm glad he did well cause that sucks for an already fringed out deck. Conversely, he was also running Oko in the board so burn it all to the ground and salt the land after. Good riddance to a dumbass card.

uggy posted:I miss mcmagic at least we talked about cards more when he was around That's the thing, there would be times when he had actually good takes and there would be significant discussion about the greater viability of cards. But whether it was a good or bad take he'd present it in such a lovely, douchebaggy way and would double down on that lovely attitude when called out.

My biggest hope is that Astrolabe gets banned so everyone can go back to dope basics instead of all snow basics all the time. Like my MPS llorwyn swamps and my Portal second age islands are some of my favorite individual bits of my "collection." Pimping out basics with *your* favorite ones is definitely one of the more interesting, varied and expressive parts of the greater game to me Typhus733 fucked around with this message at 23:10 on Jul 10, 2020 |

What I find really baffling is, doesn't Oath slot best into either 5c Niv orrrrrrrr.....another combo deck i.e. Kethis combo? What is being achieved in the meta by just unbanning Oath?

TheKingofSprings posted:The second Theros set lays a pretty strong claim to the title, despite being 20 years later when they should’ve had ample time to sort all of this out I dunno, Born of the Gods had some actual cards in it: brimaz, courser, drown in sorrow, bile blight, satyr wayfinder, Xenogod, etc. It definitely wasn't a banger but I would say it had way less frustrating things in it than BFZ

I'm not gonna lie, I was a bit sad when clover ate a ban alongside Omnath, though it was definitely necessary, because pre-omnath Adventures was an absolute blast. I didn't think Temur Adventures would be viable at this point but I've been playing the Obosh/Genesis Ultimatum/Terror of the Peaks build and holy poo poo is it fun. While it doesn't have the wishboard anymore, it can reach a similar point where you have this critical mass of mana and drop this I win button that people just scoop to. It's just good fun using Petty Thefts, stomps, and big old butts to just tempo along until you can reach that critical threshold and resolve an Ultimatum or terror into obosh.

Bust Rodd posted:https://twitter.com/mastodonmusic/status/1338930239045423104?s=21 I unironically enjoy and picked up the non-foil removal secret lair because the rear end Trophy looks heavily styled after their posters and album art. Definitely a bummer they got the generic and known about lands but I also felt it was kind of cheesy-funny seeing them talk about "modal dfcs" and lands.

Its obviously very early but Pioneer genuinely feels really fun and open. I played 3 leagues with 3 different decks (rb arcanist, uw spirits, and gb elves) and all three felt powerful and playable while encountering a wide variety of other decks. The arcanist deck is definitely gonna be the new hotness for a bit, its really powerful and disruptive in the face of a lot of different strategies and I'd expect it, Niv/btl piles and tribal/aggro decks to be the top of the meta while things shake out.

Jabor posted:The aggro matchup in modern tends to be pretty good, you just don't go out of your way to gratuitously hurt yourself because your opponent is doing that work for you. The issue with that and the main thing that's probably gonna keep DS from being too big in historic at first is that TBR is a major part of that plan. The burn player is super bad if they're both just all out doming you and choosing not to keep their dorks on the ground back to prevent lethal swing backs. That and there's no fetches and only enemy pain lands which makes it a lot trickier for the shadow player to be fully measured in how much damage they're dealing to themselves.

VictualSquid posted:Manacurves and card draw are very archetype dependent. Yeah, this. There are a lot of great resources covering things like mana curves, color distribution, and the balance of card draw versus land count versus amount of action/bombs and such but in the end all of those are gonna be colored by the environment you're in. A control deck in legacy is gonna have a very different land count and cantripping than a control deck in a low powered standard format and both will be drastically different from what a tempo or aggro deck might use in those same formats. Don't be afraid to use established decks explicitly because doing so gives you a chance to internalize the "why" behind the decisions that went into building that deck through actual experience and context.

So I in no way expect this to do anything in a constructed format but I do think it's an interesting detail that this can rip lands out of hand. I feel like it's a very rare (in the literal, frequency sense) effect to be able to look at a hand and rip lands as well as spells out.

Elyv posted:
DS is definitely an obvious use case for this, but I'm curious exactly how this would interact with Heliod or any Theros gods. Am I right thinking that if heliod comes down and isn't active then it works like normal but the moment it becomes a creature it loses all abilities including the ability to become just an enchantment again? Either way, seems like a great hoser to those kind of creature combo decks and potentially a synergy piece for others

fadam posted:Urza's Saga is insanely powerful in Titan Amulet lol. Your land drop basically taps for two mana and makes a scaling beater. Definitely seems like the highest impact card from MH2 so far. The Domain stuff seems to be overperforming expectations as well. Haven't seen anyone play Reanimator and have it not look like a meme so far. I haven't gotten to play at all so I'm just speaking off the anecdotal evidence of all the various streamers I've watched so far but man does Shardless in the living end shell seem pretty bullshit.

Yeah, Mad Mage has a pretty high potential if it's easy to venture a bunch. Also when compared to Marvel, you're seeing less cards overall but you get a scry three before it and the look is actually a draw three as well.

Cactrot posted:Apparently Magic: Diablo edition is being shut down, it never actually made it out of beta. Not at all surprising. The gameplay was really unengaging and outside of the zones being based in established Magic planes the theme was barely there.

I 100% would believe that WotC/Hasbro didn't see the immediate return on investment they wanted and tossed it aside without a second thought or any effort put into improvement. They have gone out of their way lately to squander any good-will they build and milk the player base as much as they can. At this point I would genuinely be amazed if there was any deeper motivation behind their upper level decision making beyond "how can we accumulate the most profit in the shortest time"
