Shrecknet posted:the low opportunity cost (U) is certainly there and having 1 mana interaction for the admittedly narrow "on the draw, vs monogreen curving out with ranger class on 2" is the specific spot where It might win the match on its own that makes it so appealing that I even posted. The opportunity cost isn’t U, it’s “a card”

Part of the reason black is so strong is that the C/U black werewolves are very very good (the 4/3 that shrinks blockers and the 2/3 menace) while the C/U red and green werewolves are kinda derpy (though the green uncommon with Ward is pretty good)

The more I read about the reserved list the more it seems that the problem isn’t legal liability so much as one extremely senior WOTC or Hasbro person who really likes that it exists

Balduvian Shaman looks bizarre but the actual use case is fairly straightforward: switch the color of your circle of protection to the color opponent is playing. You can’t switch any circle more than once. It’s not a good card by any means, but in the context of kitchen table deck building at that time it’s a card that makes sense.

Mike N Eich posted:I read literally the entire Maro article about the color pie and there were two interesting things I noticed: I think the big thing he said they’re not doing anymore in green is putting any type of card directly out there, like with Hypergenesis or Eureka. Tutoring lands into play is still fine and so presumably so is putting them from your hand into play.

Guessing that Odric returns as a vampire and he and Olivia get a card together as they are getting married

Apparently they’ve confirmed that it’s a union of the Markov and Voldaren bloodlines, so maybe it’s not Odric, but the cowards at WOTC will never give us the Olivia/Thalia wedding we deserve.

off top of head things that I can’t remember being removed: -emblems (I don’t think it’s this) -legendary supertype (it might be this) -card name, artist, collector number, expansion symbol, flavor text (these are all silver border only) -certain keyword abilities (there are cards that remove all abilities but I think that’s distinct from cards like the Archetype cycle) (I actually think it’s this) Like it could be “cards in graveyards lose flashback” or “creatures you control lose Decayed”

Devor posted:If you make a copy of a spell cast with cleave, is the copy cleaved? no, copies of objects have the printed characteristics of the object. cleave only removes text if you paid the cleave cost for the spell, which if you copied it, you didn't

Lone Goat posted:I'm about 90% certain this is incorrect. you're right about kicker, so it's possible cleave doesn't work this way. i was thinking about it in terms of layers, where copy effects are upstream of text-changing effects, but that's continuous effects only. so who knows. e: yeah, you're right. "A copy of a spell or ability copies both the characteristics of the spell or ability and all decisions made for it, including modes, targets, the value of X, and additional or alternative costs." i let my l2 lapse years ago, so apparently i've forgotten it all

The theoretical use case for the rare is, in a deck that already generates lots of mana, casting it and wheeling into another one which draws twice as much to keep the chain going. I don’t think that’s a very powerful effect at that cost but I can at least theoretically see the point of it

I actually really love how they’re going all in on the Vampire Wedding thematics this set. Much tighter focus than MID, which was just “nighttime in scarytown.” The bridesmaids kick rear end.

pioneer didn’t die because of specific ban decisions, it died because it was always a bad idea for a format. the combination of set cutoff and banning fetches meant that it explicitly excluded most of the cool things people like to do in eternal formats and it didn’t actually create an affordable format because magic cards keep getting less affordable every day.

people who truly hate fetches (weirdos) go to astonishing lengths to make every pioneer discussion a referendum on fetches. it’s very sad actually; they were emotionally invested in pioneer succeeding as a way to “prove” fun nonrotating formats don’t need fetches. my own personal favorite format is draft, notably fetch free. but when pioneer was launched I said that it would die and pointed to the lack of fetches as one (but only one!) reason why. the fetches are a subset of the larger problem with pioneer, which is that by its timing (and yes, its preban of fetches) it cut itself off from one of the chief draws of eternal formats: playing all-star powerful cards from different eras. the pioneer era is, by and large, the era of generic value. generic midrange value creatures. generic efficient aggro beaters. generic grindy control finishers. more specifically, it’s from the era of magic when threats were so much more powerful than answers that good standard decks just look like a pile of efficient threats and value generators. by cutting off access to cards like delver, vial and snapcaster, which let you play under the big haymakers, or chalice and blood moon, which let you lock them out, pioneer committed to the proactive decks only gameplan. of course, in such a format, the one truly powerful cross-block synergy you can build is a combo deck, and without an efficient way to lock combo out or disrupt it, of course combo ruled.

sit on my Facebook posted:I would say standard has been some degree of bad since khans rotated, and hasn't really been GOOD good since like Ravnica 1 through Innistrad/RTR yeah this is correct. I hated THS standard as it was dominated by two incredibly linear mono color decks and Stan Cifka’s Elixir of Immortality win con deck. Khans made standard very briefly fun until everyone figured out siege rhino was the best thing you could be doing.

To be clear, RTR/THS standard was better than any standard since WAR. It was just much worse than historic, modern, legacy, draft, judge stack etc. is now
