Re: [MCD] Wishes

This discussion has been both entertaining and informative. As a result, I bought some wishes today, just in case. Well done, all.

Re: Guild Decks

This seems like a fun project, but I think it'll be hard to balance them against each other only using Ravnica sets. Some guilds are just stronger than others, due to raw power and mechanical synergy. Izoni with dredgers and Varolz, the Scar-Striped seems particular beastly, but that could just be m...

2. Does anyone have problems with the conquistador flavour of Legion's Landing // Adanto, the First Fort ? It's dodgy to me.

Gandalf is pretty Azorius (in the books). In the films he absorbed Radagast and therefore had a lot more green.
I want to reread everything, but no time.
Gandalf absorbed Radagast? I must have been more stoned than I thought when I watched those movies because I do not remember this.

Baru, Fist of Krosa. Redundant grandeur mechanic aside this guy pumps your team for any forest entering play, not just yours. Gets pretty gross with Collective Voyage.

Thrun is one helluva mutate target. Regeneration and Hexproof definitely helps keep your creature stack around.

Surely Golos is the obvious pick with how many unique lands are needed. Plus you get the best tutors for book.

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

For protection, wouldn't Tyrite Sanctum be better here because the indestructible property comes from the land instead? It also keeps the whole thing in the lands, which is more on theme. This plan is convoluted enough that I might build around it or add it to a bad deck. Angus Mackenzie ? Everybod...

Re: Hidden Gems, What's yours?

Pretty sure I've mentioned it before, but Dark Privilege is an absolute house in my Grismold, the Dreadsower deck. Regeneration is an underappreciated ability and the built-in sac outlet is nothing to sneeze at. Plus the art is great.

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

To be clear, I'm not bothered by dungeons, they just seem like an inelegant version of contraptions. If they print something fun for Grismold, I might give them a look, but other than that, add 'em to the laundry list of mechanics and abilities that I'll have to squint at and ask to RTFC if I run ac...

Re: Top 5 Current Commander Concerns or have another freak out over Sheldon's thoughts

How often do you run into Blood Moon and company, though? You said yourself people hardly run them. The small chance that you're going to run into them is far outweighed by the efficiency of running non-basics. And Wave of Vitriol costs 7 for crying out loud. I get it: ramp ramp ramp, surf's up non-...

Re: Top 5 Current Commander Concerns or have another freak out over Sheldon's thoughts

@pokken would single-target ruination really be all that bad? I feel like the lower power decks wouldn't want it and the 75% and above would use it to punish those decks that skimped on basics. A check on the Golos player wouldn't be all that terrible, would it? And knowing you have the chance to g...

Old frames, all the way. The nostalgia bomb is just too strong for me. My friends and I have joked about rubberbanding a stack of the old frame cards and tossing them in a backpack for a week for maximum old school feel.

I'm probably in the minority here, but man I want DREDGE. Ideally in BG, but UB might be cool too. I just want more dredgers, dammit. But since MaRo hates it with the passion of a thousand stubborn sons, I shall have to be content with Life from the Loam & co.
