Re: Otrimi, the Ever-Playful (Let's Brew!)

This seems like a really weird situation to me: Q: What happens if my mutated pile contains a Theros God but I don't have enough devotion to make it a creature? A: It'll stop being a creature. If the God isn't at the top of the pile, you will have a permanent without a type. It seems in the AMA they...

Re: Otrimi, the Ever-Playful (Let's Brew)

You play progenitor mimic and suddenly have two monstrosities, which will turn into 3 on your upkeep. It should be noted that if you mutate a card on top of the token from progenitor it's not longer a token and will replicate itself as well. Obviously also the same thing happens if you clone a prog...

Re: Otrimi, the Ever-Playful (Let's Brew!)

So for whatever reason Otrimi makes me think of Koh from Avatar The last Airbender ( Koh the Face Stealer for any of you that somehow haven't watched one of the greatest animated shows ever made). It's probably the playful/trickster/devious nightmare beast thing that can mutate under a card aspect o...

Re: Killing commanders (permanently)

If someone has a powerful deck, it's because they're a better player, and other players aspire to be them. That sort of mindset. Literally one of the worst qualities/mindsets among the average magic player honestly, especially when it's an assumption they make about themselves instead of others; th...

Re: Zirda, the Dawnwaker (Let's Brew!)

Just to put it out there as Zirda was dismissed out of hand super early in this discussion concerning Cycling decks because of all the cards you couldn't play. That's assuming you require it as companion an are not willing to just have it in the 99. In the 99 it's still a great cycling deck card tha...

Mythos of Illuna is pretty solid. Clone target permanent, but optionally better, and only really sad because it's got that 3-color identity keeping it out of most cloning and token-centric decks.
True, but it is pretty much perfect for my Yasova deck so that's cool.

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Hey, the rug ultimatum is bad too, woo! 2/5 are trash, 1/5 is medium and 2/5 busted. Coulda been worse. Genesis Ultimatum I'm going to have to disagree on 'trash'. A 'free cast any permanents in the top 5 cards of your library and put the rest in your hand' isn't garbage at all. I think the only on...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

So because I heard some rumblings about the Jeskai ultimatum being mistranslated as 5 to any target instead of 5 to a player, creature and walker I thought I'd give the Japanese an actual hard look since that is suppose to be my second language (some cards like that have a few too many inane kanjis ...

Hey it's the set's red wall of text

Well I suppose it's a good thing that discarding from Cycling is part of the cost or this would pair with Library of Leng to just let you cast spells for their cycling cost.

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

The Jeskai ultimatum feels weirdly lacking in comparison to the other ones. Interesting what the design rationale behind that was. Whoa, wtf. The Jeskai one looks awful. And by awful I mean "actually a reasonable payoff for the cost but not WTF IS THIS CRAP good", so it probably won't get...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Emergent Ultimatum piles might include two card combos and Demonic Tutor . Thassa's Oracle , Tainted Pact , Demonic Tutor . Opponent needs to shuffle away Thassa's Oracle back into library, and then you Demonic Tutor for it. Tainted Pact then gets Demonic Consultation . You need to realistically wa...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Friends, I was cool with Song Of Creation's design until I saw Whirlwind of Thought. Now I'm wondering why the RUG got the shortest end of the drawback stick while Jeskai once again floats away on clouds of unfettered value. I admit, I'm salty as hell. IDK I think it fits with their colors well. Th...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

I'm not sure how any of the ultimatums are going to be strong than Eerie Ultimatum and I'm not sure I want them to be. That card is just bonkers strong in EDH; it will just flip the vast majority of graveyards into play for 7 cmc. I somewhat agree that the reason the BUG ultimatum isn't as insane is...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

To be fair this is less easy that the current way you break Magosi which just involves Magosi, amulet of vigor, deserted temple and rings of brighthearth. To clarify, you only need amulet OR deserted temple (or anything else that can untap a land), plus rings to go infinite with magosi. With this c...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Giant fan No but seriously walk me through process of how this creates infinite turns. I believe you require a counter doubler, such as doubling season, as well. The basic loop is that you put 2 counters on Magosi using it's own ability. You move one of the counters off Magosi onto a random permane...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

People are missing that nesting grounds opens up a new way to break Magosi for extra turns. There was no legal card previously that allowed you to move any type of counter from any type of permanent to another.
