Is Kaya originally from Eldraine? She could be related to the queen

It's funny how even in a fantasy universe white people assume that all mulatto people are related

it also means control decks can't opt and counter something, or draw into a board clear and cast it. Just kind of cramps their style while you just jam creature after creature.

OKay cool. The first pack I got before seeing the "ROTATION IN 14 DAYS" thing had a Planes walker so I'm just glad I get to keep the neat card even if it might be bad

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Yeah, I can't fault them too much for wanting to prioritize and incentivize the play pattern most likely to keep them in a job.

So 2:1 is a slim bummer, but it is a problem a wallet can solve if I want it to badly enough, so it'll all work out one way or another.

Guaranteed 6/1, which is really lovely return on value. Needing to buy 90 packs to get a single Historic MR isn't exactly viable.

you can buy a rare wildcard for 1200 gems, and a mythic for 6000 gems, and you get the byproduct of 6/30 boosters worth of cards on top of that, including possibly more wildcards

Well, if you only got the value from the wheel, yeah, but I usually pull a couple more than that from packs in a 45. Plus you know, all the cards you get

I don't think this as what you mean, but I went back and forth on the title (it's a reference to a TV show).

On like page 2 someone posted "Teferi godmother" and I immediately wished I had thought of it, instead, but I think only mods can change titles.

Some mod, feel free.

CapnAndy posted:

And yeah, I meant "If I want to buy into Historic badly enough, there's at least a price tag and not a hard wall."

I seriously doubt I'm going to be willing to do it, of course. I figure so long as I'm still playing, I'm going to collect the kinds of cards I enjoy playing. If a Historic deck pops up that runs a bunch of cards I don't have, there's a reasonable chance I'm not going to enjoy it.

This screws anyone joining the game new, and that's also a huge bummer. I hope they have a plan in place so it isn't just a FYGM format.

IMO, Feather's not going to be a deck anymore once it loses Reckless Rage. At least, not the Boros version. Thrash//Threat doesn't really replace it because it's not friendly to Dreadhorde Arcanist bouncing and has damage issues in the early game.

What's the specific title you want? "Adventures with your Teferi Godmother" or something? I bet PMing Beet Wagon would work, dude is pretty chill and I think he's a games mod now that SCAM is being removed.

Doesn't seem as good as the other two three black three drops, but it's legit in a knights deck I guess

I approve of the thread title because Charlie is an idiot and WotC are acting like idiots by loving up wildcards in Historic so it fits perfectly.

This really doesn't work anywhere near as well because most of feather's creatures won't actually win that fight but will easily take 2 to deal 4. Maybe if it runs that red equipment knight instead of adanto?

Even though Charlie can't read the cards he still intuitively determines what the cards do based on the illustrations. He goes on to make a fortune on the pro MTG circuit, only to blow all the winnings on an ebay auction for "Real Dragon Meat".

"The Gang Goes to Vegas GP" would be a hell of an episode. Frank loses $500,000 gambling on Alpha packs; Dee gets repeated compliments on her bird cosplay; and Mac and Dennis get scammed by Timmy's Emporium and left for dead on the outskirts of town.

That is so much worse than Reckless Rage. It costs 2, is only Sorcery speed, and none of the creatures in Feather are Knights so it will usually not deal 4 to the opposing creature. You'd also have to make sure your own creature survives the fight.
