I have a prediction for the new walker: Her plus is some kind of incremental advantage, her minus is somen kind of removal, and her ult effectively wins you the game.

My opponent swings in with two Stitchers Suppliers and Lazav (a 1/3 for those of you keeping score at home). Before damage I cast Flame Sweep, dealing 2 to everything. His graveyard now full to bursting he gets excited and shifts Lazav (with two damage marked on him) into a 2/2 Theif of Sanity during his second main. After his Lazav popped, he emoted "oops" and shame conceded.

I know we like high level subtle play but let me just say it was really fun just now to win with my awful Liliana/zombie tribal deck that had two big dumb zombie tyrannosaurs that came down turn 3 and 4 and rolled over Big Green's feeble defenses.

Hellsau posted:Say I have a single creature in play with a Season of Growth, and a Bone Splinters in hand. I am able to cast Bone Splinters, targeting my creature, and sacrificing that same creature. On Arena, I do not draw a card. Bug, or does it somehow not count as casting a spell targeting your creature if the creature isn't in play when the trigger would go on the stack? That's how it should work: there's no creature to target once you've paid the additional cost.

bessantj posted:Played my first ever game of M:tG tonight. I quite enjoyed it, not as complicated as I thought it would be. I played two games in total and managed to win one, I had a couple of lucky draws. Think I'm going to try and build a deck. Glad you had fun dude. If you're interested in playing in organized play I recommend hitting up a draft. They are about as much as a night out on the movies and you can keep the cards to start building towards standard, or flip the money cards to go towards your next draft, and you don't have to worry about spending a ton to have parity with other decks. MTG Arena is (for all our complaining) a reasonably good digital implimentation of standard and will let you jam out at all hours practicing evaluating the game state, choosing lines of play, and other skills that will translate however you end up playing.

LifeLynx posted:Speaking of Gynger, my Cat Draft on September 14th is with Core Set 2020 - if I'd known how fun Throne of Eldraine looked, I would've waited! But Core Sets are better for the casual players who turn out for these. September 14th at 3 PM at Brothers Grim in Selden, NY, and all the proceeds go to the cat adoption center I've been volunteering at for almost a decade. The cats at the Long Island Feline Adoption Center are full-time residents until they get adopted, with their own couches, scratching posts, and even television. I wish I were closer I would totally take my kid to your cat draft. We just adopted another kitty to keep Mewgene Debs company: Field Marshal Georgy Katsantinoscritch Mhewkov.

Inside Job 2WUR, Sorcery Gain control of target vehicle until end of turn. Untap that vehicle. It becomes an artifact creature until the end of the turn and gains haste and "[T], Sacrifice this card: destroy target artifact or land" until end of turn. Whenever an artifact or land with "Tower" in its name was destroyed this way, goad each creature its owner controls.

Am I the only one who occasionally goes to flea markets and garage sales with the fantasy of a "yard sale find" of some old shoebox with some beat up OG duals interspersed among the wood elementals and living walls, or a sealed box of some old set? Probably increasingly vanishingly unlikely as that stuff gets consolidated into big time collections and cultural osmosis has made people aware that Magic Cards can be worth a mint, with a rough valuation only a google search for a given card name away. Still fun to dream.

nrook posted:Did any successful deck ever use Time Vault “honestly”, by banking turns and spending them later? It’s hard to envision. I could see a winter orb/stasis kind of shell getting away with it, but when you've frozen the game out with that sort of thing it seems immaterial whether or not you skip a turn or bank a turn to take two in a row when your opponent's turns don't do anything but draw them another card.

Is there an effect like The Abyss but more crippling, where it's symmetrical but you could dodge it by banking a turn and make it hit your opponent twice in a row, then bouncing it or something...? IDK doesn't seem like a lot of "fair" timevault ideas that don't rely on you having the game on lock without it.

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:i think the red land is a little better than it looks. not better than the black land, but reasonable. red lands that push damage are historically very good (barbarian ring, ramunap ruins). while this one requires unblocked attackers, which is a substantial handicap, it can repeatedly push through a few points of damage, which is often enough. if any form of RDW exists post-rotation, which is often a safe bet, this land just slots right into it. I'm with the dad. This is a nice mana sink once you've dumped your hand of little aggro nerds that will make favorable trades to slow down their board stabilization and push thru a point here or there. It only costs a land slot. And Ive watched control stabalize and get a stranglehold on the game with 1 or 2 life often enough that I know that's not nothing.

Monoblack will be some business too. I think the castle is good, 2-3 of. Not for nothing even if you are out of gas and peel a land, that's not a dead card if you have the swampfall guy out. I've learned to respect the swampfall guy. E: Rakdoz Aggro-risticrats feels on the verge of breaking out in the new standard to me, as well.

Yeah I dipped out about the Urza's block (every time remembering selling off my Power and stuff around '00 stings). My friend and I had a lot of cachet for running a grip of Juzams in our decks. Just an unstoppable efficient powerhouse. Nowadays that's about the power level you'd expect of an actual uncommon meant to be a high-pick beater for limited but nothing fancy. E: Didn't it recently get a near-functonal reprint that was basically that, a draft dross uncommon, complete with an art throwback reference or am I having a stroke?

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:There was a red version printed in Modern Horizons at uncommon. It was fine. Juzam Djinn is pretty far above the curve as far as limited cards go but to see constructed play as an efficient beater a card has to be quite a bit more efficient than that Ravenous Giant! Thanks. Yeah back in the day that woulda been a premium uncommon and in high demand. You would love to curve into that on the way to your nigh unstoppable Shivan Dragon.

fadam posted:for all the boomers out there: what did your LGS carry before MtG struck big? Like what game had people coming out to hang out and play before magic? Just DND? E: I'm barely under the wire for Gen X, a year later and I'd be a millennial, but: My "FLGS" was about a 40 minute drive from my podunk town to Milwaukee. The Virtual Gaming Center. It was a big LAN center that rented time on powerful (ONE HUNDRED MEGAHERTZ PENTIUM) PCs that were hooked up to 30 inch CRTs monitors, and that was its bread and butter before MTG took off as I recall. It was still a going concern with people coming in to rent PC time while others were cating Holy Strength on their Craw Wurms. Mechwarrior 2 was probably the most played when I started gong there. I assume mine was a little unusual though and most of them were proper gaming hobby shops that carried AD&D second edition, Warhammer, and Vampire: The Masquerade as their mainstays. Edit 2: Whenever my friend and I were going to the VGC on the weekends, my dad (rip) would say "Oh, the virgin guys club?" Owlbear Camus fucked around with this message at 20:31 on Sep 17, 2019 |
