sit on my Facebook posted: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 If you only apologize months after the issues crop up and only when you get called out on it while trying to move into a new business, it undermines the idea that you are remotely authentic in your apology. Owen didn't apologize and come clean when he was first called out for being a sex pest. He only 'apologized' and came clean when he realized that people still remembered that he was a sex pest. This is not a real apology.

C-Euro posted:Like ever, or into Standard? One sucks big time and the other is no surprise at all. I mean probably never in standard but we'll see a paper reprint soon enough. If historic has brainstorm tho we're never going to see fetches in standard.

It's better for whirza than it was for the older prison decks because sometimes you just thopter sword them and that's good enough but it's definitely not favorable

It can't be an activated ability because that would be stupid and if it's a split card than the card is beauty or the beast which is clearly a flavor fail

It's not going to be literally a split card because we just had split cards so it's got to be something along the lines of forecast or a one time activated ability or something. It probably can't be forecast because then you could do it multiple times and the one Mana card would be a mythic uncommon that's almost unbeatable.

If witching well was 2u to activate it would be a constructed card. As it stands, it's just too expensive.

That Garruk is very good. It's a six Mana Planeswalker that is almost always going to be a three for one at minimum.

Adventure cards don't have their second type while in any other zone. If you cast the adventure half, you put the card in exile and then can cast the creature half at a later time.

Ate My Balls Redux posted:Uh Adventure is something they haven't done before, and Food is tweaking an already existing mechanic that worked well, which is a tried and true formula for the game. Adventure is literally kicker with a bunch of weird timing and gameplay issues that's going to be really annoying at FNM and probably also annoying at other levels of gameplay. Food is Investigate except you have to build a deck specifically around it for it to do anything which makes it a very parasitic mechanic which is obviously bad. Delve and Manifest are both lazy mechanics. Energy is a bad mechanic because it's parasitic and only interacts with other cards that have Energy. Like, this set is lazy because you have adamant, which is boring and going to be annoying to use online, you have food, which is boring and is extremely bad unless you are building the food deck, and you have adventure, which is kicker, except you need to remember if it's been exiled from a spell or if it's been exiled from adventuring and also you need to remember which card type it is at all times because it changes and etc. There are three mechanics in this set and not one of them is actually interesting. Compare this to like the last four standard sets that all had interesting mechanics with good interplay. We have Food, which is by itself, and Adamant, which is by itself, and Adventure, which is by itself. It's just a bunch of boring mechanics that sit by themselves and don't meaningfully interact with each other. I don't understand how you can look at this set of mechanics and not think that they're boring.

On the plus side, the knights deck looks like it's shaping up to be pretty decent. Also, lots of artifact matters cards but only really the Golden Egg in terms of support so far. Maybe Witching Well will be playable? Not entirely confident about that one.
