LifeLynx posted:Yeah I don't know why either, I thought they were for finance and business stuff but it seems they hired a token millenial to write articles you can't even find from the site's front page because they would confuse the boomers who want to work on developing their yacht envy. Forbes lets a bunch of randoms write for their site now. There's still financial and business, but loads of offtopic random stuff that's written by basically anyone.

Fetchless modern would be pretty tough for mana fixing though right? Like there would have to be some viable mana rocks as fetches are pretty drat versatile

Lone Goat posted:Fetches + Shocks let you easily play 4-5 colours. If you have fetches that get Plains in your deck you can, for example, put one each of a WB, WR, and WG shockland in your deck and make any colour of mana you want. Aside from a few life there's no deckbuilding cost and it aggressively homogenises deck construction when you can play All The Good Cards I think we're saying the same thing from different sides. Fetch + shock lets multicolour decks run smoothly. Anything 5c is going to run vials or caverns anyway, why is making jund viable a bad thing? Without the fetch + shock combo wouldn't Tron just dominate everyone?

Food token sac food token, put two +1/+1 counters on target creature. It becomes fed until end of turn. You gain 1 life. When a creature is fed, remove all damage that has been done to it this turn.

Wishful merfolk is good flavour. Does the 5/5 lovestruck guy get to attack if there's an intangible virtue on the field? Seems to me like 1/1 tokens are still 1/1, but get +1/+1 afterward.

That trailer owns, except for garruk eating the gingerbread dude. Would've preferred it be a rando knight set flavour looking great though. Hopefully we get a card that refers to spicing things up with flavour text that refers to flavour

Yeah the card frame is pretty confusing, especially as split cards normally had two arts. I can see adventure cards getting played completely wrong on kitchen tables. Not that it's a bad thing as long as kitchen table magic is for fun.

It's fun. I eat poo poo against Tron, humans and spirits, but with a good hand it's surprisingly resilient against hardened scales and give jund and burn a decent matchup. Control is a really fun matchup. Hidden stockpile as a fun bit of tech can be really useful. I've had people destroy it in place of blossoms or intangible virtues. Meddling mage and mantis riders demolished me last night, but 2 wins a draw and a loss seems to be where I end up quite often.

Is this how it's supposed to happen? I'm bad at the rules: 1) Player A attacks with a 4/4 attacks 2) Player B blocks with 2 2/2s 3) Player A orders the blockers as "I'll hit creature 1, then 2" but doesn't assign damage yet 4) Player B gives +0/+3 to creature 1 5) Player A has to assign lethal damage to creature 1 (4 damage) before they can assign any to creature 2, so both creatures survive? And 1 (declare attackers), 2 (declare blockers) and 5 (damage) are all combat steps which have a round of priority, but 3 (ordering blockers) is a part of the declare blockers step so there's no ability to cast spells between 2 and 3?

fadam posted:It’s not necessarily worse, it’s just different. PE is cool because you can just plop it down whenever and get value from it, this card is more punishing but can be situationally less effective. The guy earlier in the thread who said that some decks will likely want one copy of both instead of two of either is right, I think. Ah that makes sense. Guess I'll have to look for one when the set releases

Still looking at some legacy stuff. Wouldn't be worth trying to convert my token list into legacy? I found this list which I have most of the modern pieces for. Maybe out in some vindicates and humility instead of land tax? Land tax looks like it's thee just to offset the pegasus token buyback. https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/1883300#paper It doesn't seem like it does a lot of weird legacy stuff, which I think might be missing the point of legacy? ilmucche fucked around with this message at 12:32 on Sep 10, 2019 |
