I mean speculation about what it means is part of the whole thing of revealing cards like this here's another one: https://twitter.com/MTG_Arena/status/1169022264182038531 I'm hoping it's something like a once-per-turn activated ability and not just a creature//spell split card

Zyla posted:dunno why but from teh card it looks like you can only cast the spell if the card is on the battlefield, also its most likely repeatably cast. think of it like a sorcery card held by the creature its printed on, once it dies it goes this felt more of the case when the sorcery wasn't 'pay G for a 1/1 token' edit: five more cards from LRR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJuYXkuW8Q4

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)

MikeCrotch posted:Ugh not a fan of Brawl so far, seems to be like limited but all the cards are nonsense. Doesn't feel like a very satisfying game experience so far. you will be able to build your own brawl decks, dude, this is just promotional with the preconstructed decks also if you kill their commander they have to pay increasingly more to replay it and this can really choke people out of the game early if you can clear it right away

ZenMasterBullshit posted:I've got a lot of Wild cards built up from the last time I played. Should I hold out for the rotation to figure out a deck to try and craft or would it be better to grab something kind of meta-y now? you'll be able to use your wildcards at 1:1 through november for historic cards iirc so if you really want to craft anything that's rotating it can still wait for post-rotation (and after you've put together whatever you want for standard)

yeah I think the fact that they're holding events that give away playsets of all the new-to-historic cards has gone seriously overlooked, whether intentionally or not. if you're an established player already there's nothing specifically targeted at loving you over of course it's going to be annoying for new players that want to get into historic instead of standard, but the doubled wildcards are meant specifically as a deterrent for exactly those players so I can't say it's not working

like realistically someone at wizards went 'we need to find some way to disincentivize players eventually sitting on their established historic collection and only playing historic and not caring about the 99% of new cards that won't fit into the decks they've already built' after a long history of seeing established paper players behave the same way I really don't think it's not a problem they'd eventually want to fix, even if it'd realistically not be a problem until next year's rotation at least, imo. making the decision early probably has some benefits, though? like, I could see them thinking it'd lead to less uproar then having a year with 'regular' wildcard prices and changing it that long into historic's lifespan honestly my money was on them going with historic-only wildcards and combined every-historic-set packs or something like that so being able to use regular wildcards was already more than I expected edit: Sinteres posted:Thinking a f2p game is treating the player base badly to squeeze extra money out of them isn't really a conspiracy, it's just the way the world works. If people are as pissed as they say they are, they should probably quit the game, because even if Wizards climbs down a step on this issue, there's plenty of reason to think there's always going to be a next thing to get pissed about. I mean some of the people saying Wizards was anchoring to get people to accept a slightly less bad version of this down the road were saying it as a defense of this, but so far we have no indication that it's going to change, so the thing Wizards defenders thought was too bad to actually be real might stick. you're really softening the sort of rhetoric people are having about the wildcard issue, which has included 'they timed eldraine spoiler season as a distraction!' alongside the sort of stuff salt shakeup is saying

Got pretty frustrated today at ladder -- what's a good deck to mess with that has a good matchup against the fast elemental builds without completely falling over at scapeshift? I brought out Grixis Control for a while but all the decks were going fast enough to go under soot/cry & all my legion's ends weren't working on the risen reefs despite them always landing on turn 2

historic is still going to get new cards -- and it should because there's gonna be decks that overtake the format to a large degree and there's not really a better way to fix that than by releasing cards that help curb those decks printing them in regular sets is a no-go for a few reasons, primarily that regular sets have several years of leadup in development time + there are just going to be cards too strong for standard that fit better in an extended format

axeil posted:15-20 random cards was a really bad way to do it. I hope they implement the backwards fill where they add old sets not in Arena starting with the most recent. That's a much more reasonable way to add cards. they're still adding new cards, and also adding entire sets to historic at a time would gently caress up historic a hell of a lot more than a small curated list every few months quote:NEW HISTORIC CARDS

flatluigi posted:oh hey expansion does work on irencrag huh so, who's a judge?   cast irencrag feat. in response, cast expansion copying irencrag feat. a copy of irencrag feat goes on the stack. can you cast another spell that turn? the way my friends and I think it works is that at first it seems like you can, since copies aren't cast. then, it seems like you can't, since the copy says 'you can only cast one more spell' and it'll count the original irencrag as that spell. however, given that you've already cast both irencrags and are just resolving them, neither of them count as a spell you've cast after either irencrag resolved it's some fun thinking though

qbert posted:I'm not a judge but I think you can copy and still cast another spell afterwards. Like you said the restriction doesn't go into effect until after the copy resolves. The original on the stack has already been cast, it's just resolving now so you haven't used up your additional cast for the turn. Bust Rodd posted:That’s not how it works. The copy won’t see you cast the original, the original is cast, you copy it when it’s on the stack, then they both resolve and you get 14 red mana. I’m like 95% on that. I probably worded it badly (phone typing!) but that is basically what we ended up agreeing on

yeah, for now you should look at paper statistics for what's actually Good. I have high hopes for untapped.gg when they get established enough to spin up their data collection for Arena (they're the people behind HSReplay for hearthstone), but just about everything out there you see for arena specifically is going to be pretty flawed from a combination of lack of data and lack of analysis
