Yeah, I think it would take a bit of a push to play the Trap here. Or like, a pretty specific meta. Personally, I think if you're after a very definitive counterspell that answers most things, you're probably best with something like Flusterstorm or Summary Dismissal . The latter is expensive to cas...

Based on only my surface level understanding of Borderlands isn't this whole set just that? Basically, yes. The only thing that's missing is the sirens. Malcolm, the Eyes :rofl: Ha, touche! But yeah, no, the story is basically borderlands but without the dick jokes, psycho hillbillies and gore. Got...

@toctheyounger Yeah, there are a lot of filmmaking elements that (to my uncultured eye) seemed to be very well done, but without a connection to the story or the characters, meh. As far as the plot, I really don't find myself engaged by movies that don't have a core conflict. Sure, you want her to ...

New Geralf is a combo enabler with plenty of aggro upside at 3cmc. It has value without the presence of a combo. If necroduality were 3cmc would you consider it? That's kind of how I see this new tool. Its def not a zombie though. Doesnt trigger Varina. Awkward, but powerul card. I might try it out...

I actually think it could get pretty gross. I don't like that it's not on tribe, but it's gonna make our guys enormous, and it's pretty easy to use it to vomit out an army with. Will it make it to the list? I don't know. Does it combo? Not outside of some convoluted altar of dementia reanimation lo...

I think I might have inadvertently discovered our next "film buffs vs philistines" argument: anyone else seen "Poor Things"? I wouldn't say I HATED it - it was better than "The Lobster", though that bar is so low it's in hell - but I didn't enjoy it and I definitely wo...

Get your tinfoil hats! Oh I'm pretty sure I know. Of course unless John Carpenter actually states it outright with evidence we will never know for sure, but I'm pretty happy with where I landed. Amazing film regardless. Oh, I was talking about my silly conspiracy that WOTC underpowers sets they kno...

Final Showdown is beautiful. Not sure every mode is helpful every time, but an instant speed wipe is never to sniff at.

Rakdos, the Muscle is GROSS. Tymna the Weaver / Dargo, the Shipwrecker has a new win con, card is gonna go off in at least a couple great ways.

Generally, I agree with pokken here. There's very few mana positive rocks we want to hit, to the point where even Sol Ring is less helpful to us. I think if you're wanting the best rocks you can include, you want Chrome Mox , Mox Diamond , maybe Lotus Petal and that's honestly about it. We don't nee...

Yeah, nothing from Fallout really hit me right. There was one zombie that we could loop for rad counters, I forget the name, but honestly it's no different to our aristocrat loops, just with extra steps and extra time. As far as Shipwreck Marsh goes, it's not a card I'd really search out. I'd be jus...

Yeah, that's fair. It's only ever going to give you value from play. I think it's easy enough to include and just not play when it's not advantageous, that's where I'm landing at least. I'm not too worried about it's place in the curve, I've gone as low as I can reasonably justify currently. I do ha...

They're definitely not going to be a land you want to see in your starting hand I think this is incorrect. They're great as a virtual 1-drop in almost every opening hand sequence. Some of our decks are thinking about playing Diregraf Ghoul for another 1 drop, playing one surveil land splits the dif...

I think they're ok. Surveil is clearly great for us, but entering tapped isn't. They're definitely not going to be a land you want to see in your starting hand, which makes them a value play for Coffers or Field, and a Land Tax drop. I don't know if that's worth it personally. I certainly wouldn't r...

Airplane! meanwhile, leans much more heavily on wordplay and puns. Neither option is better but adds to my opinion that these movies aren't really comparable outside of both being relatively old comedies. Yeah someone said they were both Mel Brooks films a little while back in the thread, and they'...

for example I have yet to figure out why people enjoy The Big Bang Theory, Friends, or The Office) The latter I can speak to, at least the british version. I haven't seen the American, and while I appreciate the writers and what they went on to, the british version is it for me. Anyway, it's meant ...

I think a factor in this was covid as well. Been talking with a friend on tv shows and its kinda jarring when you hit the covid seasons and seeing how the production of the show had to change around, stuff like how actors wouldn't get as close to each other in scenes or the lack of extras in what w...

Okay so does anyone remember how, four months ago when the Doctor Who commander set came out (it was only 4 months? Geez it feels like forever), I was pretty negative about the show? Well, I've now watched series 1-12 of the new show, every episode, plus a couple episodes of the old show, just so I...

For what it's worth I'm still not quite on the ban hammer for this. It's very, very strong, but I just haven't seen it at a casual level, and I think I would be throwing eyebrows at anyone who argued it was in the right place in that scene. I think if we're comparing it to Paradox Engine , which ta...

I'll get the showcase stuff I think is pretty and comparable in price. I don't regret my foil showcase Birgi, God of Storytelling // Harnfel, Horn of Bounty by any stretch. It's a delight to look at.

More than anything im impressed sun titan sees cedh play It doesn't that I'm aware of, but it probably only really needs the right commander to be printed. Something staxy that likes to beat in or what have you. Sevinne's Reclamation is all over the place though, big player in Mardu and Jeskai brea...

I think he could be a very sweet card in the right place, it's just that's a very specific place.

I read your GBU for the set and know you're not fond of this commander, but Ellivere of the Wild Court says hi.
