Oh hey, the mythic Jeskai knight lets you equip anything on knights for 0. So that's what the giant fuckoff hammer is for.

Do not allow Wizards to try and divert attention or change the issue with ELD previews, Brawl events, or any of the other distracting tactics they will use. Historic MUST remain the primary issue on the community table. 2:1 wildcard conversion remains an indefensible cash grab that jeopardizes long term Arena health and Historic viability. Other Historic changes are also cash grabs masked as positive changes for players. Do not let them change the narrative and make Wizards know this is unacceptable to the community. Make sure Historic problems are at the top of this subreddit and do not spend $$ on products until Wizards fixes this.

Played a few games with the knight deck, I like it! Certainly a good demo of brawl even if the deck could use work for consistency. Cool to have a working equipment theme.

Zyla posted:does anyone else super not care about historic? I'm glad it exists but I'm definitely getting tired of seeing the same decks and cards that we've seen for basically the full length of Arena and I wasn't really going to touch it until I got bored of post-rotation Standard (and/or if it gets shaken up at all by new cards)

One's a lot more affordable than the other if you've been grinding out cards for the last year, since you don't have to buy (make) that many new cards.

Zyla posted:does anyone else super not care about historic? I would've liked them to use it to basically make a new form of Modern and as a gateway to eventually putting every card in Arena but I'm not throwing myself on the floor screaming in agony like all of reddit seems to be because of the 2:1. I'm honestly more peeved/annoyed at only being able to buy sets in 45 packs with gems. I have no issues spending $$$ on this game because I can definitely afford it and it's way cheaper than trying to do paper.

Zyla posted:does anyone else super not care about historic? Historic will be fine at 2:1, I've decided. But it'll be most fine for people who started playing before they announced its creation. Modern lists are mostly made up of former Standard cards, it's not like there are a ton of cards that were no good at all in standard that suddenly became format staples in Modern. If you enjoy playing aggressive base-red decks, chances are you'll have most of the cards on rotation. Same for Kaya's Wrath or whatever. I don't enjoy counter-control in Standard, so I'm pretty sure I won't love the Historic version enough to feel like I missed out. It will suck for the kinds of people who really get off on playing off-meta nonsense, because the Arena issue of bad cards costing the same as good ones gets twice as bad. So if some streamer breaks the format using one of the dumb red EDH enchantments or something, we're all screwed. I did go through and craft a dozen or so 1-ofs, just in case Historic Brawl becomes a thing and I want to be able to play a Mox Amber or whatever.

Huxley posted:Historic will be fine at 2:1, I've decided. But it'll be most fine for people who started playing before they announced its creation. I dunno, there's a decent number of cards that are good but have absolutely no standard support meaning they fit in no decks and therefore see no play. The most obvious example atm is probably Mystic Forge which just got restricted in Vintage of all places yet by all accounts any attempts to make a (poo poo) standard artifacts deck actually cuts copies of it because standard artifacts cannot support shopping at all and the """"best"""" artifact decks basically have to be faster and rely on tempo/board to win games fast. Now granted, in Vintage Mystic Forge has the advantage of lots of deck-shuffling effects to up its power-level, so it's plausible that in formats without fetchlands and the like it will never become good enough to see play outside jank. But I'm sure there'll be a good number of cards in similar situations of 'good but has no place' that eventually burst into the Historic meta. Hell, it even happens in Standard all the time - the Kethis combo lists have some Dominaria cards - especially in the sideboard - that would justifiably be called real garbage and probably nobody expected to ever see play (since they're not good enough for Modern or other evergreen formats) but still found a way. Like has anyone in history ever put Teshar in a deck and expected a >40% winrate before M20 dropped? The thing about these cards is yeah, MOST cards that are good in historic will have been good in standard too. But I'd say of the group of cards that weren't good in standard but successfully make the transition to historic meta, the rarity is gonna be super skewed towards rare cards rather than common/uncommon. Probably more so than mythics too but that isn't so relevant. That quickly gets expensive even if you only have to craft 4 - 6 cards in a deck.

Maybe eventually they introduce special "Historic-only Wild Cards" and start giving them out as rewards for the weekly event things. Four commons, two uncommons, one rare for your six wins.

Honestly I'm more annoyed about them shoving Bob and Brainstorm straight into historic. Would have been nice for it to be it's own format instead of just dumping in must-buys from legacy and modern. I also don't spend money on the game and don't plan to, so Zyla posted:you should be pissed at wizards tho Same

The faerie brawl deck seems overpowered compared to the rest. Being able to generate poo poo-tons of decent token flyers and frogify your opponent's commander seems busted. I felt bad doing the latter since I've been on the receiving end of a frogify when I played some of the other decks and it sucks having your commander be just completely shut down. But I wanted to that Order of Midnight play set.

Variance is obviously a thing, but I lost a fair amount with the first two decks and never lost with the last two, with some of the games from the latter pair being pretty clear blowouts.

If your opponent kills Alela and aggros early a lot of the time you just end up flailing with a lot of useless artifacts in hand I've found.
