fadam posted:lol I was so wrong about W7. This card rocks. It's still mostly honeymoon so maybe standard will suck eventually, but right now I'm loving it. It's no nice not playing against memory lapse smile Esika's Chariot turn 4 (or 3) into W7 make a token copy the token feels so unbelievably good. Esika's Chariot in general seems pretty great in this Standard, lots of 3/x werewolves running around that it just walls.

Yeah I got turbofucked by this deck playing R/G aggro, they just had a counter every turn and then all of a sudden they just won.

It annoys me so much that Cedric's job is literally to do audio content and he has the most dogshit mic with no balancing at all. If I was paying him for content I would either have given him a new mic or told him to get one at this point.

Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:It's kind of odd looking at Emergent Ultimatum lists, they were attempted from IKO's launch. KLD gave it not just Alrund's Epiphany, but also Valki and Vorinclex for big spells to land to go with Kiora Bests the Sea God and Sea Gate Restoration. Since they were all Yorion lists too, it's easy to include a few extra big targets. Epiphany is the perfect piece to force awful awful choices with 13-14 mana advantage and immense board position.

https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/october-13-2021-banned-and-restricted-announcement Historic: Tibalt's Trickery is banned in Historic. Memory Lapse is suspended in Historic. Brainstorm is banned in Historic (from suspended). Five digital-only cards are being rebalanced: Davriel's Withering and Davriel, Soul Broker's third ability now only affect "target creature an opponent controls." Faceless Agent is now 2/2 (from 2/1). Sarkhan, Wanderer to Shiv's second ability is now +1 (from +0). Subversive Acolyte now costs 1B (from BB), is 2/3 (from 2/2), and had the toughness increases from becoming Human or Phyrexian reduced by 1. edit- I guess this is probably better for the Arena thread since it's only Historic stuff but eh.

Devor posted:It seems like you could make an argument for it being different. With Kicker, each card has an ability that says "If ~ was kicked". If you cast it with cleave, the text box becomes whatever the text box is without the brackets. Those brackets aren't "still there" because they're printed on the card; you act like they don't exist. So you are copying the spell with the brackets removed, because that is what is on the stack. edit- I assume, of course, there's no official rules out yet I don't think.

Perry Mason Jar posted:Why? From the card text I don't get that and also it seems like any Cemetery Prowler (playing a second or third one) exile would count. If a card mentions itself it means [this card], as in [this physical card, right now]. If you flicker something it "forgets" any information it had as that previous card, because it's now a "new" card. Perry Mason Jar posted:But the card is still in exile and it was put there by Cemetery Prowler. No, it was put there by *A* Cemetery Prowler, not the Cemetery Prowler that is currently on the field after blinking.

Have to imagine the original text had life payment instead and it got changed after they'd cemented the card name.

Correct, activated abilities are "[cost] : (effect)," the colon being the important part. Triggered abilities start with "When, whenever," or "At."

Perry Mason Jar posted:This is meaningless to Arena players. Every rare costs one Rare wildcard, the cost of the card is immaterial. Perry Mason Jar posted:Sitting on them until I can make a viable deck from them but the time never comes. And then ultimately, if you're really as pressed as you're making it sound for being able to build a deck, just spend the $50 on the 50 packs of the new set when those bundles are in the store. I know people don't like spending money on the game, but with $50 (a small part of what you'd spend making a deck IRL) you get 50 guaranteed rares/mythics and/or wildcards, and eight guaranteed rare/mythic wildcards. You also fill up your uncommons/commons (and U/C wildcards) which allows you to get more gems and vault progress while drafting. Also another tip that will help with your overall gold gain: try to keep one 500 gold quest in your quests every day without completing it so that when you use your free reroll of the day, you have a chance to turn a 500g quest into 750g one.

I didn't say anywhere in my post I was talking about posters in this thread. The general sentiment on social media for the past crossover secret lairs have been tons of doom and gloom about the future of Magic, and that's what I was talking about. I looked at the Twitter responses to the announcement in a few different places and mostly just saw people excited about it. I don't know why you tried to turn me making a general statement about finding that funny into me obsessively tracking the posting history of people in the MTG thread, but uh, you do you.

New Secret Lair megadrop https://secretlair.wizards.com/us They're doing an experiment and selling a full Commander deck, with double-sided alt-art versions of some of the cards in them, half of the deck is also foil and half is not for some reason? Half of the drops are lands but there are some really pretty cards in some of these.

Mat Cauthon posted:Those pixel lands are phenomenal. Hope there's some way to get them on Arena eventually without springing for the Secret Lair. No secret lair has ever come with a code for card styles of the cards in Secret Lairs, just sleeves. The only Secret Lair cards that are on Arena themselves (I believe) are the Godzilla lands, which were a reward for buying into the first Arena Open Day 1 qualifier tournament.

Eej posted:Can't believe people were saying I was crazy that maybe going to a convention in Vegas might be a bad idea Numbers from large concerts and whatnot have been showing that the rates are very low in events like this that require proof of vax or negative test (the negative test part is dogshit and I wish it wasn't there, but it is), fortunately. There were "only" 203 confirmed cases, with 0 hospitalizations out of 385,000~ people who attended Lollapalooza a couple of months ago. The "only" is the part that comes down to personal decision though. It's a low risk, but the risk is still there. It would be even less if it was only vaxxed.
