Cry of the carnarium is another black sweeper option for historic with bonus exile.

Is that really true though? the most egregious banworthy fuckups of the last ~3 years have mostly come from standard sets. One ring/fury/bowmasters/ragavan/Murktide are all obviously extremely strong cards in the formats they're legal in....but oko, lurrus, yorion, sheoldred, up the beanstalk, uro, field of the dead, once upon a time, and veil of summer were all printed in standard sets.

fadam posted:Yeah, that's been an absolute haymaker for me. You said Arena zoomers don't know how to Brainstorm, well they definitely don't know how to play around a Blood Moon lol. Listen, some of us at least learned because we were the jeskai control assholes in historic right after they dumped mystical archives on us and decided brainstorm was an okay card to not ban. Even with fabled passage alone what the gently caress were they thinking.

Eej posted:I think it's cool and good that they get to play loose with the power level in the digital Anything Goes formats. Well, Timeless is more this because Historic has never been the same since they started using digital rebalancing. I would have bought that a lot more if they hadn't decided that brainstorm was fine but lightning bolt was not. At the time bolt was almost certainly too good anyway but brainstorm was just on another level.

drainpipe posted:Ritual was probably perfectly ok in alpha. I mean, not really (at least according to people playing at the time). it's still better than growth or healing salve for sure. Bolt is the more questionable comparison but that's mostly because fast mana in alpha is mostly just powering out a shivan dragon that is going to get plowed.

Rinkles posted:is there any indication wotc might make bo3 limited ranked? They've said the exact opposite. People who do bo3 want a place where being good at drafting gets them more rewards instead of being matched with better players until they can't go infinite.

flatluigi posted:have they had mixed pack drafts on arena because I genuinely can't remember I don't think so but RIX was also when we were in the bot draft only times so I think the expectation was already that it would be significantly different than paper I guess.

It might as well be an 8/4 with unblockable most of the time. the activation cost is very high for what kind of deck wants something like that so it's mostly trinket text and realistically you aren't ever going to block it . It's not exactly hazoret as far as aggro curve toppers go but if there's a good GR aggro deck i wouldn't be surprised to see a copy or 2.

Eej posted:It doesn't have trample so any deck that goes wide can chump block it no problem If you chump it it just untaps and gets to swing again, unless you can kill or trade with it blocking it is pointless and even killing it might be a bad idea depending on what the rest of the board looks like.

distortion park posted:I swear a few years ago at least rdw used to be pretty rare-light. Eh, it's rare lighter on the mana bases but looking back to eldraine ish 4 years ago you were looking at embercleave, anax hardened in the forge, castle embereth, that first strike knight that buffed other knights etc. Experimental frenzy era was probably a little cheaper because you were running some viashino pyromancers and ghitu lava runners but you still had frenzy/steamkin/chain whirler etc.

Time posted:Just attack it. Turn a creature sideways. Ez I mean, even putting aside that it makes all the counter magic a control shell can run uncounterable and can bounce a threat and cantrip on ETB to protect itself. If they have a decent blocker on board (like say birth of meletis around that era of standard) it's extremely hard to push through even for creature decks since you can't use any combat tricks unless you try and hard cast them main phase and hope they resolve. It's by no means the most powerful magic card they've ever printed, or even most powerful 3 mana Planeswalker (hi narset) but is it really a fun play pattern to have "your opponent now has to play hearthstone" as a static ability? I just think it's not a very fun card to have around even when the power level is fine.
