Samael posted:It's an boring, uninspired deck with the same base cards which without RtR is completely useless? When rotation happens it's completely dead. Of course this is just my opinion and a esper control guy destroyed my hopes of R/W burn winning two SCG opens in a row. And when it rotates, everyone will find a new scapegoat to hate upon because it doesn't fit with their personal views.

rabidsquid posted:Oh yeah totally I get that. Unfortunately Wizards design lately seems to be based on having huge swingy effects like that, so you see a lot of homogenous decks. I can't remember the last time there were multiple viable control decks. I feel the same way about generic red aggro decks because I find them very boring to play against. UW seems to be a common theme because they have never stopped printing Wrath and O-Ring effects. I remember UB being good for a little while in Scars block, but for the most part, it's been U/W for a while.

For stores on Long Island, I feel like Empire Gaming is definitely one of the better stores on the Island. Brothers Grim is solid but they never really have IQs or much beyond the usual FNM-esque tournaments and prereleases.

rabidsquid posted:You think so? Scorned Villager didn't really see any play, I think it's because when you have mana dorks playing a two drop mana dork sort of negates playing the t1 mana dork, although I am not entirely sure that's why. Also, there's a pretty solid two-drop mana dork that's already been printed in this block. edit: two of them!

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:So my pick for sleeper rare of the set is Hypnotic Siren. MonoB is losing its draw engine, aggressive creature, undercosted fatty, and half of its removal. Azorius/esper control is losing its board wipe, its best removal spell, its draw engine and its win condition. GR monsters is faring better but is still losing Domri Rade which is a big deal, along with any bloodrush dudes they were running (basically just Rampager). MonoU is losing two two-drops that were decidedly mediocre but played only for their double-U mana costs, as well as Judge's Familiar/Cloudfin Raptor, which can be replaced directly by Siren. The fact that it's a fine turn 1-2 play and a backbreaker in the late-game means I think it's going to be a four-of in a lot of aggressive decks once the rotation hits. There's still M15 and the new block to give various decks things and create new ones. Before Theros came out, no one would have predicted mono-black or mono-blue decks being a pretty big thing. Likewise, there were certain decks that looked really good on paper but performed like crap (G/W, I'm looking at you). What I'm curious about is what kind of cards have been seeded in Theros block to hint at the future. Some of the ones in RtR block stuck out like a sore thumb (Ethereal Armor and Sphere of Safety), but there's nothing offhand in Theros block that strikes me as an obvious plant.

Pyrolocutus posted:Huey block will be a plane filled entirely with libertarians and the mechanics will include the Gold mechanic, first seeded into the Theros block. During the course of the block's storyline, Elspeth will discover that there is a terrible, dark entity within the plane's heart that if left unchecked, will destroy it utterly. She decides to get some popcorn, kick back, and watch. So wait, are you saying that Wizards will be adopting....a gold Standard? Google Ron Tibalt.

Jabor posted:E: actually, I think a lot of two-colour decks are going to enjoy being able to run painlands instead of Confluence, and hence avoid pain when they don't need the colours. And mono-black splashing green or white gets the ability to play both Urborg and Caves of Koilos/Llanowar Wastes. Nice.

qbert posted:Sneak & Show player in the semis made two bad decisions that cost him the game. First he Show & Tell'd a Sneak Attack into play, sacs his last fetchland for red mana, opponent sacs HIS fetchland in response and Golgari Charms the Sneak Attack. If he had just sequenced correctly and cracked that fetch before the Show & Tell, he would've won. Isn't this the same guy that lost in the Standard finals? Keep not casting that Voice of Resurgence, it's only like one of the better cards against Mono-Black Devotion...
