Allow me to change my favorite card to favorite cards: Namely, anything with the creature typing "Weird" Because Weirds are great and are what got me into MtG, along with Angels.

I honestly think Tribute is a good way to make punisher cards, Xenabro is almost never bad to slam on turn 3 just because its always a 4/4 when you drop it, even if for one turn. The Phoenix seems like one of those cards that will be overlooked until rotation in the fall when monored loses some of its really good doublemana and triplemana cards.

Samael posted:I just traded a Elspeth for a mutavault yesterday, dunno if that is a good trade or not. Elspeth averages about 25 in the States, Mutavault 40. I'd say you made out. Fingers McLongDong posted:I usually see elspeth for around $18 and I've seen mutavaults selling regularly for $30-40 so it sounds like someone ran off with a good trade. I hate mutavaults because I dont have any and they're so expensive and theyre good in almost every deck. Cant wait for them to rotate out. I can wait because then Izzet goes back to being mediocre at best after we get all our new toys in April.

Ramos posted:Oh man, if this happened, I would be ecstatic. I've had a standard Izzet deck for a while now that's been casual but still very consistent and strong. If something like that popped up, I would definitely try my hand at making it competitive. Do you happen to have the list on you? I've been trying to make Izzet work and it just does not agree with me in the slightest despite loving the color combination.

Zorak posted:In today's Uncharted Realms we learned some neat plot / setting stuff. Apparently Elspeth killing that Hydra really pissed Nylea off, Kruphix (GU God) is apparently the eldest of the Gods and spoke for the first time in forever making all the gods basically retreat into the heavens and lock up the shop after Xenagos got in, which is why Kiora is able to strut around pretending to be Thassa since apparently even Thassa does not want to go against Kruphix what since he is the old guy. Older than Heliod, the supposed Zeus of this Pantheon? drat

Bread Set Jettison posted:The idea behind Clockwork Librarian is absolute insanity, and I hope they make more cards that interact with the actual process of draft. Drafting that card to exchange it for an extra spicy pack of cards later in the draft is just so cool. You might just use it's effect like you would in a game, except in a draft, it'll announce someone has open and taken Clockwork Librarian. And then put it in the pack and you take two cards.

Honestly if you want to play Commander as little as possible without depriving your friends another body to hit just play Niv Mizzet, you'll be out in 3 turns, guaranteed.

BaronVonVaderham posted:I'm curious to see how people play him during draft. It immediately jumps out at me that acquiring one pack one means SIT ON IT and use him pick 1 on a subsequent pack when you can snag two powerful cards (ideal case is if you crack a rare and a foil rare that are both playable, for example). I feel like Cogwork will be That One Card that always winds up being the remaining one in the pack, next to the land. But for completely different reasons than unplayable card approaches.

Ableist Kinkshamer posted:I guess they could print it as an uncommon, if they want to avoid making money. How do they avoid making money by making a card everyone wants uncommon? I know making Force of Will uncommon is a retarded idea but how does making a really powerful card uncommon and nobody will want to trade them away make it so nobody buys their product? If anything everyone will eat up the packs.

Zoness posted:I don't get this - I played plenty of UW - Esper matches that don't get close to time and do involve extensive Aetherling wars and proper play from both players. I guess I'm either more/less experienced than these guys that pilot the U/W/x lists to time. Every FNM has the inevitable U/W mirror in which three of us commentate like its a featured golf match. "And now Walser is playing his third scryland, he scrys it and does not like it. Mercual responds to Walser's turn ending by Revving for six. Again."

I don't really get people that don't have tokens or token like replacement cards when they know their deck needs them. I have about 40 tokens in my fat pack case I put my decks in. I have at least one of each standard legal token for this reason

My streak is over. Today wasn't Xenagod. It was Ephara v: But real talk how is everybody like BTT draft format? I'd like another opinion because my first draft involved opening Master of Waves and Phenax so my opinion is a little skewed. Count Bleck fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Feb 16, 2014 |

a dozen swans posted:More 'I built this deck for <100' (I basically only need the Pasts in Flames and Petals) in the second-most expensive format. One of my LCS does Legacy Wednesdays so I might build this when I'm good and ready. My other LCS is planning on starting to do Legacy events on Saturdays because they're under new management (which admittedly has helped the place incredibly)
