Sampatrick posted:Why is it necessary for historic cards to be more expensive than other cards Because they think the only reason players touch standard instead of Modern is because Modern decks cost twice as much, so they're trying to replicate it here, I guess.

So do I go sink wildcards today into the checklands I don't have, or do I commit myself to not playing the format? This sure is a decision point that gets me excited about Historic!

My guess is +1/+1 end of turn at instant speed, 1 generic to use.

That card is very ugly. The artwork is great, the frame is really nice. That version of split is horrendous.

It's definitely a flashback mechanic, though a much more interesting one than the Retrace/Jump Start. It's not kicker, since you don't have to do both at the same time.

I need them to show me the extremely good red 1- and/or 2-drop they feel safe printing since the entire red deck is about to rotate. I want to craft them and continue to play broken-rear end red aggro nonsense in Historic. I can't play truly love a deck unless it gives me a chance of outright winning on T4.

Mat Cauthon posted:This is phenomenal. If blue is "Counter target spell" can you make it 1UU? It's free cost is narrow for Standard and we've seen strictly better Cancel be playable a hundred times. It probably has to be a 1UU negate, though. Catching aggro's one-drop from the draw for no mana is probably too good even for Standard.

Lone Goat posted:I know that Maro likes to be build himself up as the hero who gave us what we wanted, but who are these goofs who kept shooting down Fairy Tale Plane but thought Arthurian legend was actually loving interesting, and when are they all going to be fired? I always assumed MaRo gets whatever he wants eventually. Who in the pitch room was going to like, off-handedly slide HIS entire premise into the trash can based on a 2-3 minute presentation. "What if we just knock off a bunch of Disney movies but with names like, Alsa, the Frigid Queen or whatever," is pretty much all any sensible room should have needed to hear.

I wonder what shenanigans bottoming it is there to prevent. I guess just casually regrowing a strong 2-for-1 is reason enough.

fadam posted:What’s the deal with the templating on Joust, I can’t double check right now but it’s different than normal fight cards, right? Savage Smash does basically the same thing with different wording. Savage Smash {1}{R}{G} Sorcery Target creature you control gets +2/+2 until end of turn. It fights target creature you don’t control. (Each deals damage equal to its power to the other.)

Vaah posted:So based off the wording of Wicked Wolf, you can't activate that ability if you've tapped to attack, correct? Having "Tap it." on a separate line of its own has me confused. The opposite. Everything to the left of the : is cost, everything to the right is effect. So tapping him is not a cost of the ability, but a result. You can attack with him, then eat to put on counters. During combat (or after). It's already tapped, so the "Tap it." doesn't do anything. You can respond to his EtB effect with his pump, as well, which will tap him.

I think it's just not very pushed. Very much a card where you can see the levers and each one is in the "this is not meant to be actually good" position.

Tibalt posted:Yeah but having an acceptable creature that can be a narrow counter spell (and later a creature) might be better than the sum of its parts. Could be. I keep evaluating them in terms of casting both sides sequentially or over back-to-back turns, but until we see them in play and the rest of how Standard turns out, there's no way of knowing how valuable it will be. Like anything, it wouldn't be hard to make a busted card out of the mechanic, but right now they've all looked like, "unplayable spell into unplayable creature," and honestly maybe slapping a built-in 2-for-1 makes that good enough (or making either side of the card remotely OK turns out to be absurd).

It just feels like they're being really careful, because of all the ones we've seen there's been only one side of the split that would be a constructed playable on its own, and even that wouldn't be a guaranteed windmill 4-of. Maybe careful is exactly right, or maybe they've got something up their sleeves.

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:not to pick on you but this is exactly the opposite of the right way to evaluate split cards. If one half is constructed playable then the card is strictly better than a constructed playable card, which usually means it’s bonkers. Choice is super valuable. Nobody would play just Fire or just Ice (welllllll maybe on that latter as a one-of) but Fire//Ice is an all-timer. This goes double for Adventures because you get BOTH halves. Yeah, what I need to stop doing is evaluating them like split cards. These are all really bad split cards. But these aren't Thrash/Threat. They're Thrash that draws you a Threat.
