sit on my Facebook posted:I guess I'm not understanding what's so bad about alchemy. I get that the rebalanced cards are in historic but... why is that bad? Historic was already getting the digital format treatment. There were already a bunch of hearthstone-esque cards. Is it just the bigger influx of them that people are frustrated with? Or what Broadly, speaking it sounds like "Historic is the high power format so when you rebalance a card too strong for standard the result is often a card too weak for historic" "historic was actually in a good place re: balance and this ruins that" and "historic is the only Eternal Format on arena and now it isn't in fact eternal."

Dungeons were/are okay if you focused on the "if you've completed a dungeon" cards instead of planning your primary value being from the dungeon itself.

Mat Cauthon posted:The new ninja PW guy (who is connected to the Emperor and has been searching for her across planes) and Tamiyo get involved, start trying to figure things out what's happening. The Wanderer comes back, tries to use the Reality Chip to stabilize her spark but that also allows Tezzeret to hurt her. Tamiyo and the new guy almost get captured by the Phyrexians but the Wanderer breaks them out. Tamiyo uses the Reality Chip to control a mech, there's a big fight where the empire fights off the rebels at the expense of the Wanderer's spark destabilizing again. The good guys capture Tezzeret but surprise he uses the Reality Chip to turn the tables and kidnap Tamiyo - she's really who they wanted all along, everything else was just a ploy to draw her back to Kamigawa. Pretty sure it's just the case that what they want is Any Planeswalker At All and Tamiyo is just the one who happened to be interfaced with the reality chip at that point.

orangelex44 posted:The whole "attack alone" thing is pretty horrible outside of Limited, right? I can't really envision a Standard deck built around that working out, much less the evergreen formats. Depends on how many payoffs there are, probably. If you pack every single "when x attacks alone" into the same deck, maybe it's good, maybe it's not.

I've got no opinions on this exact ban or lack of ban but their reasoning basically being "the rules committee's target audience is people who don't need a rules committee in the first place" is kinda dumb.

Went 2-1 in prerelease in what was actually my person in person play ever. In theory it was a mediocre blue-red artifacts deck and that honestly worked well enough to stall for more draws but all my wins were more from functionally acting like a red modified deck with thundering raiju and or functionally being a blue flyers/vehicles/flying vehicles deck, depending on the exact draws.

Seems like the archtype is SUPPOSED to be "iunno graveyard recursion" but from the only good GB draft deck i've played against you're better off with "Green ramp into the black side of one of the other black archtypes."

Sega 32X posted:Just lol if they print another commander set without dockside Supposedly the commander rules committee has a list of cards they've asked WotC not to reprint as a "soft-ban" because they don't want to actually ban things but also have cards they don't want people to play, so they just ask WotC to keep them extremely expensive instead as a worst of both world.

Toph Bei Fong posted:I know it's a troll post, and I know it's not the point, but how would one even do arbitrage in MTG these days? Everyone with a smartphone has access to countless stores across the country/world and up to the minute pricing on whatever card they want. Unless interstate commerce laws get really strict all of a sudden, there's no way to keep collectables in one area and not another... The answer is "it's mostly not worth the effort to do if you're not dedicated to it (and it's also mostly not worth it to do if you ARE dedicated to it either)" so if a good opportunity for one person personally DOES arise there can be some money other people were leaving on the table. Basically the big thing is "buy commander cards in europe and sell them in the US if you've already got a business trip or something going on." Not really worth it if shipping costs get brought in, but ARE worth it if you're piggybacking off a flight you already would've been taking anyway. That would basically never apply within the US though.

Personally I actually think Kamigawa didn't NEED a second set the way Capenna did. Maybe it would've been a "nice to have" but importantly it was a case where basically the were able to present "thesis/antithesis" in a single set already in the form of "green enchantments/spirituality/tradition" vs "red artifacts/technology/modernity" and also the story was like, 90% personal and the status quo was ultimately maintained. Kamigawa after Neon Dynasty is Kamigawa BEFORE Neon Dynasty except the government is a little bit more stable and the seriously pro technology people are licking their wounds. New Capenna on the other hand absolutely needed a set of "holy poo poo the angels are back."

A Moose posted:It seems kinda niche, like, the biggest creature it can kill is a 3/2 or 4/1, but how many of those are there that push doesn't kill? I feel like Strangle does most of the same job There are plenty of higher costed creatures with nice abilities at the cost of having a smaller body. This hits those.

ChaosReaper posted:Well got talked into going to a 2HG prerelease tonight. I haven't looked at this set or played any magic outside of commander in like two years. I'm sure it'll go well. Anyone have any like super simple tips or easy deck ideas to look out for. The domain deck (all five basic land types, there are a bunch of tapped dual lands with both so it's doable) is nice because there's a bunch of off color kicker costs in this set as well and going for domain means whoops you can basically always cast those kicker costs no matter what your base colors are. Assuming it's sealed.

Peteyfoot posted:Would picking up the four 2022 Challenger Decks be a good starting point for casual fun kitchen table Magic with a friend? I've only played Hearthstone and they have never touched a TCG before but love games with lots of rules, for context. Honestly I think the REALLY good thing for casual kitchen table fun would be getting a box of jumpstart. Basically the same price as all four challenger decks since that's what you're talking about, way more variety and with trivial effort you can stick the individual components into envelops or something afterward to be able to randomly pick them again. Basically jumpstart is this whole thing where you basically grab two halves of themed decks and smash them together and end up with stuff like, Goblin Angels vs Dog Vampires. A whole box gets you like 24 of the individual packs, that's a whole lot of variety.

Roadie posted:I was actually pretty underwhelmed by it in a draft, but I suspect that's because the overriding focus on stickers and Attractions interested me way less than the grab-bag random goofy things from previous Un-sets. It felt like stuff like Urza's Contact Lenses, Rules Lawyer, Duh, Ambiguity, or "Ach! Hans, Run!" was really lacking. kalel posted:yeah same. I wonder if there was an eternal legal mandate from the beginning that constrained the design team. but also, there's only so many non-annoying munchkin card ideas they could use before it starts to get repetitive I'm pretty sure they basically said a lot of the past unset grab bag goofy things had a problem where they were funny once which was terrible for replayability.

Jace specifically looks to have Luxior that he's pulling out of his chest which is really specific imagery for if it's something that doesn't happen, and the sword from the March of the Machine symbol specifically has elements from Godsend, so I'm calling that that's an actual specific story moment and Jace really is one of the ones getting compleated, (but we won't be rid of him because they're uncompleating at least some of them after MotM)

I think it would've owned if all the loving angels cards in the "wow the angels are gone from this plane what's up with that" had been in an aftermath set instead of mixed into the set combined with a story that did a really bad job of explain "angels are back now", actually, so I think "X: aftermath" is a great move.
