Reading the planeswalkers’ guide honestly got me kind of annoyed with Vivien, because she spends a lot of time being judgmental of Ikoria’s humans for not living in harmony with the giant unpredictable monsters that frequently try to kill them.

I *think* that's going to end up worse than the times we've gotten a 1 mana 1/1 that taps to give something haste, but that's definitely an interesting card for limited.

I know Companion is strong and all, but it is an incredibly reassuring feeling to see that your opponent has Umori as their companion. So much you don't have to worry about!

Bust Rodd posted:You keep posting as the end of physical OP is the end of kitchen table magic with friends. Why do you think this? What is supporting this idea? The overwhelming majority of magic products sold today will never see a deck registration sheet, because they are being played unsleeved at a friend's house. Paper OP and Paper Games are not the same institution. Pretty sure Yawg isn't talking about high level tournaments and whatnot so much as about FNM and prereleases. I loved being able to drop by the LGS every Friday and sign up for draft, and hang out with people. About once a year, there'll be a GP or whatever in town, and I'll go check out side events, or sign up for the main event to flame out early, if I'm feeling spicy. Sometimes there's a limited PPTQ that I'll participate in. I'd hate to see all of that tossed out the window. Yeah, stores would probably put together some kind of game night regardless, but there's really something to be said for WotC supporting FNM as in institution. And for drafts specifically (which is pretty much the entirety of the Magic I play), trying to put them together casually is a giant pain in the rear end that only happens rarely, in my experience.

I know we've had big flashy counterspells before, but this definitely seems like the best of them. Next closest would be Draining Whelk, probably? And even that isn't necessarily that much better than similar creature counterspells. I don't think the format necessarily ends up supporting this, but it's a good card.

I think there's probably a healthy middle ground to be found between "Alright Here's Your Anime Plane You Degenerates" and "Oops All Shinto". Like, Kappa are at least broadly recognizable, but their sole presence in Kamigawa is on a lovely artifact that says they're all dead.

I think that the various Tezzerets are all pretty well balanced, with Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas being a particular favorite of mine. 1. He's got a clear deckbuilding requirement (lots of artifacts), and all of his abilities key off of this. 2. He's got a very reasonable amount of starting loyalty--3--and doesn't tick in huge increments-- +1, -1, -4--so his abilities all feel pretty well in reach, but also he's never just unkillable because of a giant wall of loyalty 3. His - really opens up space for having random utility artifacts in your deck, because he can turn them into threats 4. His ult is significant without necessarily straight-up ending the game. If you're fighting the ult, you can also try and get rid of artifacts. I like him a lot.

Eh, Warrior Tribal is a theme they'll come back around to, they've done it before, they'll do it again. And it's a callback to Boldwyr Intimidator which was a Warrior, anyways.

There's a very special kind of frustration that only comes from losing to a bad card that you know nobody should play.

I’m really down on the idea of sets with licensed IPs. Like, the Forgotten Realms thing was already kind of not great in my opinion, but at least it’s a WotC property. LotR as a full-on set? No. Just no. Those are settings that flat-out do not mesh together at all, and whoever had the idea doesn’t care about either one of them.

Paul Zuvella posted:Why do settings meshing together matter at all? Its not like Fake Greece and Mirrodin mesh together. Not in the “same world” way, no, but in a same multiverse way, they do. The different planes are all pretty high-magic, which makes sense when the assumed role for the player is “powerful planeswalking wizard”, and your recurring characters are also planeswalkers. LotR is much more low-magic; any spellcaster you see is in one way or other an actual divine being. It just doesn’t mesh to me as “and then there is the plane of Middle-Earth”. And 40K is even more extreme for this kind of mismatch.

araeris posted:My speculative argument here is that neither side of the old sales relationship was very interested in dealing with modifying the reserve list situation. Presumably big game stores and distributors were/are actively against any modification. Tough to say how much actual appetite there will be to do something different with the new relationships. Nah, the big retailers like SCG have all said that they’d much rather have the reserve list gone, or at least cut down. More money to be made on formats that aren’t dying to price hikes.

Actually, Quidditch isn’t as much of a thing in the US, they play Quodpot instead, which, yes, is more like Magic American Football, first coming into existence because of a bad batch of Quaffles that would explode. I hate that this information is in my brain and I’m able to remember it without looking it up, because it is the most useless thing I could possibly know.

BFZ was the last really bad forma. There’s formats that aren’t great, there’s formats that are boring, but you have to work to reach BFZ/AVR levels. I think one of the big contributing factors was that both sets had a color completely collapse—black in AVR and green in BFZ were both straight-up undraftable unless you were literally the only person drafting them, and you got lucky with what got opened. And I want to stress the “literally” there. That isn’t really hyperbole. I drafted way too much AVR, which had the compounding issue of only really having two other archetypes—WR and UG, and the WR deck was wildly inconsistent. Going UG with flicker and partner was by far the best thing you could be doing. The removal was so bad that you really couldn’t kill a partnered creature. So just flicker Mist Raven instead. BFZ, as far as I can remember, mostly had the issue of being boring. The Eldrazi deck wouldn’t really take off until the next set, and... I don’t really remember the other stuff going on. I remember the white retreat being good, and spells that could kicker animate your lands were kind of neat. Overall it’s a lot harder to recover from a chunk of the set being way too weak than it is to recover from an archetype being too strong—looking at you, RW cycling in Ikoria.

I had an opponent T1 Dark Ritual against me in Strixhaven draft, to power out... a 3/1. Felt really smug about that. I then went on to lose because they had a bunch of cheap removal to back it up, and I felt really dumb.
