Re: [STX] Strixhaven Pioneer Discussion

Orzhov is going to be really strong when this set drops. Get what ever staples you need now. Thoughtseize, Gideon of the Trials, Orzhov etc.

I've already got a deck outlined in my mind that I am excited about.

Great beater here. In fact this is the most under costed 2 drop beater I can think of. Green ramp / beatdown strategies will love this. This set is PUSSSSSHHHED!

http://mythicspoiler.com/stx/cards/bateye.jpg New staple for mono black aggro here. Even control shells can look at this because: 1. It's a flyer so it cannot be ignored for it's damage value 2. Learn is especially powerful in black, in my opinion. Black lacks filtering and Learn is the best kind o...

Merchant Scroll for Pioneer. This seems fairly costed since it has no color restriction, and is on par with the other tutors.

Re: Magic: Legends

I am an ARPG fan Grim Dawn is my go to game on PC because it's the only one that fully supports gamepads. That said, Magic: Legends is a dumpster fire of a game even if the monetizations were gone. You build your "deck" of abilities which all get spammed non stop during battle. Your abilit...

Plagarism in Strixhaven

https://www.pcgamer.com/a-new-magic-the ... rized-art/

The evidence is pretty damning. There's a video where they overlay the new card on the old art and it's a perfect match. Oddly, this could have likely been avoided with a simple email to the original fan artist.

Re: [STX] Strixhaven Pioneer Discussion

Strict Proctor Is an important card to Pioneer because we do not have Torpor Orb effects.

Go Blank seems playable. Lorehold Excavation seems possibly playable in some kind of control shell.

I think Pop Quiz is another playable. 3cc instant that draws you 2 cards, one of them being from the wish board. Yeah.

Re: [STX] Strixhaven Pioneer Discussion

learn is definitely gonna be good. Are the enemy colour show me lands/this half of the shadows lands gonna be okay or they just too bad? Enemy show lands dont really ping my radar. Nice to have but no impact. When this set drops we will see all formats finding ways to use Learn to best effect. Some...

This is playable.

Straight away any card with Learn needs to be looked at. There are enough useful lessons spoiled at this point that Learn is a solid 2 for 1 mechanic.

Re: [STX] Strixhaven Pioneer Discussion

You can always opt out of the effect alltogether so you never have to worry about helping the other guy too much. Every time you let the effect happen you set it up so it favors you.

https://mythicspoiler.com/stx/cards/shadrixsilverquill.html Seems reasonable for Pioneer. You get to choose whether or not the effect happens and getting a2/1 flying buddy right away seems quite nice. I'm interested. Play Shadrix, create token, opponents get the counter.

Re: Best targetted burn spells in Pioneer

Dino deck feedback: Your mana curve is too high, you only have one 1cc spell, commune with Dinos. I want to suggest Bonecrusher Giant which is normally all around a solid card but you are already too bloated at that range. Use the Shock and Wild Slashes to lower the curve. You could go the gas route...

I'd like to chime in on the Planeswalker good or bad topic. Personally I love them and I think that walkers are possibly the most enjoyable part of the game for me. I have always had an aversion to creatures and creature decks, but I also enjoy having permanents on the board to play with. Planeswalk...

Re: Best targetted burn spells in Pioneer

Post the list. Are you using the burn as removal? If you are hoping it will be the last few points of damage to seal the win for the above types of decks I instead suggest you look into gas for those decks.

Re: Best targetted burn spells in Pioneer

You don't really see Lightning Strike being played due to how low power red burn is in Pioneer. Instead you see red Prowess using spells like Wild Slash and Shock. Shock is the best 1cc Pioneer gets and Wild Slash is about the same. Also if you are in fact running prowess, then you should have enoug...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 07/13/2020)

See I would think Standard should be allowed to have more powerful cards (and bans) than a dedicated Modern set. Cards that destroy eternal formats sometimes are perfectly fine in the standard card pool. IE they have avoided printing new playable counterspells for this very reason. MH2 should in a p...
