Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread
Hey, ya'll hear that the WOTC President tendered her resignation? Crazy. Turns out overprinting cards, designing terrible cards, lowering the quality of cards, and overseeing the absolute debacle of Magic 30th anniversary isn't good for long-term career longevity. I wish I had faith that -- somehow...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Xander's Pact
Damn this is expensive. You can outright steal things for less mana and no life with a swath of cards. If you replaced Casualty with Retrace and cut the CMC in half, maybe this would have some legs, but the era of random 6 mana "value" plays is long gone.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Karametra's Acolyte
The Acolyte is solid. It's a touch slower than Skyshroud Claim but the explosive mana generation it provides make it a solid role-player in green-centric ramp decks. It also feeds itself in a way, giving you the mana to build a board to make even more mana. I dig it.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Ezrim, Agency Chief
I like Ezrim. He's nothing special, but he has access to some nice options and fuels himself upfront. I think he's probably a deceptively good voltron control commander simply because he hits all the important boxes without being busted enough to attract undue attention. Just let your bog-standard a...

Re: Avacyn, Angel of Hope - Mono-White 'Control'
Games against land-based strategies like Windgrace or Simic.thedeck really make me want to run Armageddon and Ravages of War .

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Wreck Hunter
This is a card that looks awesome until you realize how niche its window for use is. You need things to die, which delays the ramp it provides (though I think if you can get 2 stones it's worth it) and the floor is a 2/2 flash with a relatively strict mana cost. Flashing it out post-wipe for max val...

I actually love the flavor of this set. I'm a big Western fan and after what felt like 10 years on bland-ass Ravnica I'm hankering for some novel settings.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Celestial Dawn
Thank god they changed the color identity rules to make this thing actually fair. I remember this being hot zedruu tech in the early 2010s because you could straight up lock an opponent out of colored mana if they weren't already in white. Now, finally, years later, this card just does what it says ...

Re: [SCD] Pip-Boy 3000
I bought the Scrappy Survivors precon to ugrade and the Pip Boy has been good in testing. It essentially equips for zero at the cost of doing net nothing on first swing, and after that it filters cards, stacks some stat buffs (that conveniently stick on the creature even after moving the pip boy), o...

The "one or more" clause limits the utility of mass grave hate.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - The War Doctor
I think the major thing I dislike about this is the time required to reset after removal. If it worked with experience counters or energy I think it would be much stronger.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Grave-Shell Scarab
I liked this in Henzie "Toolbox" Torre. It beats, it retreats, and keeps your hand fueled. It wasn't a standout roleplayer or anything, but it fulfilled its niche well enough.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Odric, Blood-Cursed
If we skipped the whole keyword collecting nonsense, how much blood would a 3 drop need to make to be worth it? 3? 4? 5+? I'm not sure what the rate should be, blood is harder to measure than clues or treasure.

Despite having a landbase with nearly all the trimmings (save OG duals), I've never been able to build a 5c deck with any degree of satisfaction.

This card is solid for sweeping up little goons, but trying to pick apart a decently sized boardstate with this thing will hurt pretty bad.
