Tovolar's Huntmaster gains 2GG: another wolf or werewolf you control fights target creature you don't control when it turns night which not only has great synergy by giving you a mana sink so you can maintain Nighttime but also is amazing in Limited because it turns all your lovely wolf tokens into chump seeking missiles.

There's a dude that lets you pay U and sacrifice to counter unless they pay 3 which can be recurred onto the battlefield as a flying 2/2 that makes all your non creature spells uncounterable so expect a ton of that for the next two years. Kinda funny no one seems to care about that but they go crazy over Allosaurus Shepherd.

You can handle Goldspan cleanly by putting up a 5/5 Treefolk token with Reach.

Chamale posted:I think the move away from blocks has resulted in a Standard where synergistic decks are much weaker, so the best decks tend to involve cramming all the best cards together. This problem has existed before, as with four-color Siege Rhino decks. It seems that the gap between the best Standard decks and a casual tribal deck is much wider than it used to be. I don't know how Izzet Dragons decks aren't synergistic? Whether it's Goldspan + Galazeth Prizmari treasure synergy or Smouldering Egg + a shitload of spells and Goldspan to ramp into Alrund. Seems pretty synergistic to me.

thetoughestbean posted:So, what's the logic for making a spell have two mana pips rather than one? Is a monster that's 1gg more often more powerful than a monster that's 2g? Or is there something else that determines extra pips in a mana cost? Compare: Old-Growth Troll is a 4/4 with Trample that ramps you when it dies and can give you a 4/4 with Trample later Kazandu Mammoth is a conditional 5/5 that is also a tapland Briarbridge Tracker is a condition 4/3 with Vigilance Eej fucked around with this message at 10:31 on Oct 3, 2021 |

Jund Food is a miserable experience to play against in Historic too and the only saving grace is watching the entire deck grind to a halt when you have Yasharn and the backside of Reidane out.

Pablo Nergigante posted:What's the combo, perpetually wither Vesperlark so it can keep dying and summoning itself back into play? I guess that would trigger meathook infinitely Also triggers Blood Artist infinitely. The real lovely move though is if you're on the ropes and you can do the combo without interaction on an empty board you Draw the game.

I don't understand your commentary then because Memory Lapse is a card in a different format for a different audience in a different meta but it is somehow linked with Epiphany not getting a ban?

Perry Mason Jar posted:What's with the crokeyz hate in this thread? I know him from when he was a Gwent pro and he migrated to MTG around the same time I did. I'm not, like, a fan, but he's fine? He's the ur-Magic streamer bro, a toxic twitch memer who grinds the gently caress out of MTGA until he's in high Mythic but isn't a tournament player so doesn't really make an impact professionally. But it doesn't matter because Just Streaming is more lucrative and has more audience impact than writing a couple of paywalled articles on CFB and deigning to appear in a tournament every few months. He is in a lot of ways emblematic of the inexorable death of traditional competitive Magic so he gets a lot of hate from the old guard. But also he's a streamer bro so he gets a lot of hate from literally everyone else too.

Perry Mason Jar posted:Alright this is actually kind of bizarre to say. WoTC has done everything they can think of to kill competitive Magic, I don't think a Twitch Streamer is emblematic of anything except that anyone can get to the top of a ladder if they play for 10 hrs a day. And, er, some people have personalities that you don't personally like? I don't like or dislike the guy but if I did dislike him I wouldn't be up in arms that someone is daring to exist with a personality I personally find distasteful. Yes that is more or less what I'm saying. WOTC is killing competitive Magic. The best way to be a visible Magic player now is to be a guy (gender neutral) who just streams Arena all day and get propelled to the top of the ladder by weight of numbers. That he is one of the most watched Magic players and considered Good by people watching despite having Not Great tournament placements ruffles some old guard feathers. He makes more money than like 99% of competitive Magic players too. So yes, he is emblematic (adj. serving as a symbol of a particular quality or concept; symbolic.) of the direction that WOTC has taken with regards to competitive Magic because he is the example of a post-Arena successful player. And lots of people hate that direction.

Lone Goat posted:Common misconception, its got the word Seven in its name, but it's actually a 5 drop. I'm saying that if you play it on 5 then on turn 6 it fills your hand with lands that turn into real cards on 7 Doubt it will be a build around but it'll certainly be pretty good if your games make it that far since it pumps tokens too. If only it was 6 CMC!

If you make dies a keyword, and tack exile effect on everything, you should also give dies some privledges. Like how discard can discard into exile.

HootTheOwl posted:It's antiflavor that Rest In Peace doesn't keep corpses in the ground what are you talking about? They're not resting, they're ceasing to exist They're resting in that they are no longer interactable with the game. Groundseal, Yixlid Jailer and Grafdigger doesn't stop things like Delirium or Into The Story which are still using dead creatures to power your magic. Additionally anything that dies while RIP is in play is gone for good while you can remove Groundseal etc and the dead can be used again.

HootTheOwl posted:Delerium is you going insane because everyting around you has died. People, things, concepts, the land itself is dying and it's driving you mad. The dead things, however, don't care and sleep anyways. Rest In Peace makes the souls move on, not stay in the ground. The corpses might as well just be dirt! But also since Rest In Peace gets rid of all the dead things piling up around you it makes sense it counteracts Delirium tbh

Throwing someone into Arena is probably the best way to get someone new to the game to intuitively understand phases and the stack, tbh I used to say it for MTGO but Arena is even more streamlined!
