With boogeymen like Goldspan and Luminarch Aspirant going away, I am excited for standard.

as we are about 10m from launch, be aware poo poo's gonna crash constantly, so enter as many drafts as you can so you get the cards from the draft then the gems from the reimbursement

40 lbs to freedom posted:constructed wise doesnt seem like a very control friendly set or did i miss anything obvious? blue seems kind of bad in general and creatures are really strong. no real u/w finisher either. control is always weakest just after rotation before they get all their toys.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Holy crap that Jeskai sweeper looks busted It's not. Burn Down the House is straight-up better, there's almost no use case for a 7-mana sweeper that only deals 5 damage even if it keeps your planeswalker around, especially when Farewell exists, does the same job better, and costs 1 less.

Horace Kinch posted:An opponent pre-GG'd me after playing the guy who can turn enchantments into creatures. They animated their Temporary Lockdown like a complete dingus right into an Infernal Grasp. I got 6 creatures back on the board instantly and blocked the rest of his stuff down, they scooped immediately. Pride always comes before the fall.

So it is very enjoyable watching everyone who talked about it in preview season eat absolute poo poo as Sheoldred appears to actually be the nut. Gums up the ground, dodges most removal, makes profitable attacks unprofitable due to deathtouch, stabilizes life against aggro, makes on-time Fable of the Mirror-Breakers and Raffine attacks absolutely miserable and generally just concludes the game pretty effectively. What are this card's weaknesses? It can't just be "lol dies to Doom Blade" because other than Infernal Grasp, most of the Doom Blades in this format are conditional in a way that she dodges. She's even ahead of The Meathook Massacre for at least a few turns. I am very not-high on Cut Down, too. It just hits so very, very little after turn 2 that I'd rather just have a disfigure effect that at least functions as a combat trick later in the game rather than be literally dead.

the reason mono black feels strong right now is that black is the color with absolutely no answers to artifacts, and the next set is gonna be all artifacts.

little munchkin posted:Founding The Third Path is unplayable trash. You rarely have a 1-2 mana spell in your hand for chapter 1 (and if you did you could just be casting it instead of the path), and all chapter three does is let you cast a spell but with the additional setup cost of deploying the saga. None of the chapters give you a card or mana advantage. Do not play it and do not pick it so you don't bait yourself into playing it.

no in all tournaments for every game ever played, you are always matched against like records after each round. do you think Federer should get to play someone who lost in the first round in round 2? The Super Bowl is not played between the team that went 3-0 in rhe playoffs vs the team that went 0-3 (ignore that it is single elim) Shrecknet fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Sep 26, 2022 |

You still controlled it, but it was equipped to a creature and equipment doesn't 'fall off' if its controller changes. Were you not able to click on it and equip it to one of your creatures? that's the only thing that would be a bug. Note that next turn, your opponent would be able to just re-equip to their creature.

I cannot stress enough how much you do not need to acquire draft chaff like 'this sets Wind Drake' from 4 core sets ago... there's no way to cash out so you are straight up paying cash dollars on an entertainment product so only spend what you would normally on stuff that appeals to you. the one thing I will encourage you to buy is the starter pack because for $20 it's a great value to get going

They finally let you select favorite basic lands (and other cards) but I can't select the Opt I want as a default (it's the only Opt I have a cosmetic for); do I need to somehow view the non-cosmetic version then fave it, then use apply styles when deckbuilding? That seems unnecessarily complicated (har har new thread title)

That seems unnecessarily complicated (har har new thread title) you have to go in to "card styles," and select the base (non-alt-art) version of the card, then you can favorite that version, then when making a deck it will pick that version and you just "apply styles" at the end. Obfuscated, but at least it works.

There are several letters in the Patch Notes that are erroneously capitalized in the middle of words. In order, they are "FOLSARLOP" but I don't know what that means. Scrabble tile solver spits out apollos, florals and pallors - of which, pallors is the most likely to mean something. e:nm it's an anagram of APR FOOLS which is an old promo code Or their copyeditor is poo poo

is there one? it doesn't have counters, does it? just "deal 3 damage"? I don't think deathtouch does anything either since it isn't a creature. e: just read the oracle wording, it is defense counters so nm Shrecknet fucked around with this message at 16:00 on Mar 29, 2023 |
