moush posted:The double cost is baffling, but I like that they're going the route of adding cards to historic from older sets. As long as they choose well (unlikely) adding some fan favorites into historic could be very interesting, and I wonder if they could even add in reserved list cards. Modern is a wasteland so declaring remaking it as a non-goal and starting over has me optimistic. Not that I really play arena much anyway.

Hellsau posted:Yeah playing a bunch of Omniscience drafts reminded me just how much I hate bot drafts. The cards you want in Omniscience drafts are mostly garbage, so it's fine, but you get to see how absurd the individual card rankings are. Like, Unsummon is some sort of insanely high pick for the bots. Agreed. I wouldn't even mind it if they weren't so half assed in their implementation. Their rationale for not implementing realtime drafts is beyond lame too.

Tireless Forager Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, cook up a food token. Whenever you eat, put a +1/+1 counter on Tireless Forager.

We've gotten mana and cards with treasure and clues so I'm sure it's life. Can't wait for creature type chef. Wicked Witch of the Woods 2B [pic of crone with gingerbread house in bg] Human Wizard, 2/2 3BB, T: Destroy target human. Create food tokens equal to its toughness.

It's flashback-as-a-creature. You can cast her directly or send her off on an adventure (sorcery/instant effect) and cast her later. e: In her case she 'wrangles' some bears rather than killing them I guess

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:that makes me think you can't use both sides because that card would be fairly nuts if you could. "G: make a 1/1" is a fairly gross repeatable effect to tack onto a 3 mana 5/5 (even one that can't attack most of the time but can still block). i think they're probably sorcery/creature split cards; the sorcery half resolves and goes to the yard like a normal sorcery, the creature once resolved effectively doesn't have the adventure text box. Agreed G for a 1/1 is too good to be repeatable but it's so clearly set up to use the adventure side I'm convinced you'll be able to go adventure then cast from exile.

You guys aren't paying attention to the adventure keyword. That clearly indicates to me you're sending it off somewhere for an intermediate effect that coincides with whatever else it has going on once it's put back on the battlefield later. e: This also lets them do what they like to do and add a trigger for whenever you cast an adventure spell, cost reductions for adventure spells etc.

e: ^^^^ If it's a split card why give it a subtype and all that. Also the two halves in the examples dovetail too nicely to be one or the other on their own.Skyl3lazer posted:I mean, the counter is the token these are creating. Doesn't really work when you have multiples of the source card. Y'all are overthinking it.

A big flaming stink posted:where, exactly, are you going to put your adventure exile cards so that they aren't in your graveyard or your regular exile cards? limited is one thing, but constructed is chock full of ways to exile stuff, and having to remember if this card was exiled as an adventure or due to another reason is just begging for a rules clusterfuck This is a total nonnissue and your handwriting about it is strange.

Magic Underwear posted:Still struggling to envision what a good food deck looks like. I didn't play during energy but as a redesigned energy it seems both more expensive than energy and with pretty mediocre payoffs. Oko is by far the strongest synergy but that's not even food specific. Energy was a busted, parasitic, unfun, resource translation mechanic so this is a good thing imo.

moush posted:It wouldn't just be 5-10 minutes, the whole point of pod drafting is you play the entire swiss with those same players. No one is going to want to put down 4-5 hours to play a draft swiss. Yeah people complained for all of two seconds when they changed to in-pod draft out-of-pod matches. Nobody wants to go back to that they just want to draft in a real metagame and not against shoddy, predictable, abusable bots.
