The double cost is baffling, but I like that they're going the route of adding cards to historic from older sets. As long as they choose well (unlikely) adding some fan favorites into historic could be very interesting, and I wonder if they could even add in reserved list cards. Also I read a theory that WotC purposefully introduced the lovely 2 for 1 system so when they back down to a normal 1 to 1 rate people will be happier, when in reality historic cards should have been cheaper. moush fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Aug 29, 2019 |

flatluigi posted:how exactly are you calculating that Well I think his argument is that he actually makes money off MTGO so if he were to try playing arena he would have to buy cards. If he's as good as he says, he could likely go infinite in Arena after an initial buy-in. Even for me, someone who's pretty bad and buys packs every expansion, I haven't reached nearly as high as $1000.

Hellsau posted:Because they'd have to ban a huge number of cards to avoid those blocks overshadowing the rest of the Historic format. As it stands, only small Teferi is likely to need to get banned eventually. Some WotC community guy in the reddit thread said they are willing to either add the entire set in the future or just specific cards they don't see as problematic.

Seeing as how Historic will never have fetches and WotC is going to push it as the next big format, I'm not sure what the argument for fetches is.

uggy posted:I’m sorry did you not read the thread recently where mtg was going to kill historic live on screen, in front of its parents, modern and extended Much like how Arena died when they made multiple incredibly anti-consumer decisions? I think they'll run back the lovely 2 for 1 idea and it will become at least moderately successful. The second they print brainstorm into it, I'm sure a lot of people will forget the hate and jam.

Think WotC made a mistake waiting this long between the initial trailer and spoiler season. Their video got a ton of buzz and now people are just sitting around waiting.

Might have to actually get back into paper standard if mono black becomes good enough, especially with Theros around the corner.

evilweasel posted:odd that it gets cheaper as it gets better Probably because the more you activate it, the worse it gets. It's just another curve topper for black but I'm not sure it's better than command/citadel. It does work well with self-mill and discard though.

Ate My Balls Redux posted:Someone with more time than me should make a website for goons that lets them rate cards from 1-10 that locks before prerelease weekend because I bet every set would be 1-2 cards with 9 ratings and every other card a 1-3 rating They use a google sheet in the hearthstone thread, it's pretty interesting.

BO3 honestly isn't much different. You're either aggro or control because the only viable midrange deck is scapeshift.

It wouldn't just be 5-10 minutes, the whole point of pod drafting is you play the entire swiss with those same players. No one is going to want to put down 4-5 hours to play a draft swiss.

David Williams deserves all the blame for the late submission, but having to restart games is terrible. This must be why WotC is showing the games on a delay to make sure they don't show any crashes on stream.
