Re: MtG Netflix Series Speculation.

My prediction: this series will be a decent one. Nothing stellar, nothing horrible, just decent. Which will result in casual fans who barely know MtG to be like "meh, it was nice I guess", and in hardcore long-time MtG fans to be like "OMG IT'S THE WORST THING SINCE THE HOLOCAUST IT R...

Re: Thirteen Temples of Theros: of gods, men, and road trips

- the denounce on Write on Earthenware doesn't work, since the spell doesn't target anything - the ETB trigger targets, but by then costs have been paid and the spell has resolved. - A card called Sleep Paralysis already exists! See Sleep Paralysis . Your version is significantly stronger, but IMO ...

Re: Thirteen Temples of Theros: of gods, men, and road trips

Still reading these but I think you have some neat ideas, definitely an improvement on the original Theros's constellation idea! Distorted Memory is a really cool card and would definitely sprout its own Pauper deck, that's my fave design :3 Fearless Charge is outclassed by at least two other commo...

Re: Thirteen Temples of Theros: of gods, men, and road trips

I have created a cycle of legendary sorceries, each meant to convey a power or aspect of the corresponding god. They're legendary sorceries and they get a discount if you control an enchantment creature, so of course the idea is, since any given card of this cycle is meant to represent the power of ...

Re: Thirteen Temples of Theros: of gods, men, and road trips

I'm not really saying Erebos it's broken, but it is a very powerful drawing engine, and that's lovely I think 4 toughness makes it too resilient to damage based removal and pressure. What I mean is that with those stats it makes it easy to drop early and wait for the devotion cap. Reasonable, lower...

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread

Hey guys, help me out with a matter of flavor in a D&D game I'm playing. See, my character is a brooding, jaded, snarky private detective, who is prone to monologues that are meant as a parody of the film noir genre. Now, if such a guy had to be portrayed in terms of Mtg mana, what color would h...

Re: This is a Wug

A part of me wants this card to say "a creature card that shares a name with this creature" instead for the wombo combos . To me - a literary historian - a wug is something else entirely but I like a good linguistics joke as much as anyone. I support this, mainly because Wug is now my fav...

Re: The Seven Deadly Sins

I'm appalled that this s not a cycle of seven legendary demons, a la Demon Lords in the Digimon franchise.

As [mention]SecretInfiltrator[/mention] pointed out, Greed paired with any sac outlet would essentially become a Planar Cleansing that gives you value first... FOR THREE MANA. Hell no.

Re: Is it time to cut signets entirely?

I haven't actually played a signet in commander........ I think ever. So, I guess my answer is I don't see why this is changing anything but I also don't think signets are particularly good. If you have a good landbase its unlikely that the fixing of a signet is that good and from a ramp perspectiv...

Re: Daretti, Scrap Savant - Degenerate Artifacts

It's a matter of personal preference I guess. I personally don't find 5 mana to be especially bad for a wheel, so I never actually miracle Reforge. And I don't necessarily fear the idea of overlapping combos because many of the pieces are cards a deck like this would want to run anyway, and the rest...

Re: Daretti, Scrap Savant - Degenerate Artifacts

I respect the fact that you wrote the word "degenerate" right there in the title. Does Chandra Flamecaller really contribute to your plan? When I look at this list, she looks like the odd name out. Something I would like to point out is that Ironworks, as well as its equivalent Ashnod's Al...

Re: Thirteen Temples of Theros: of gods, men, and road trips

Really solid commons, I have to say. The white one can be used to retrigger your own ETB effects, which goes nicely with the Gods. I really like the on-cast trigger of the embodiments. Goes pretty well with the Devotion theme. The black God is degenerate, so it might be good if it was a bit frailer...

Re: Is it time to cut signets entirely?

Why not just use them all? In the latest tricolor deck I'm building, I'm gonna lump together sol ring, mana vault, mind stone, the three signets, the three talismans, and this new signet. 10 mana acceleration for 2 or less mana sounds great.

Re: [ELD] Chulane, Teller of Tales & Arcane Signet

Tried putting together a list for Chulane ! It's essentially a "flash hatebears" strategy, which focuses on interfering with opponents and slowly seizing control of the field, until we're ready to get one of our combos going. It's still a VERY rough draft, but I feel the potential is ther...

Re: [Assorted][Daily] SecretInfiltrator's SecretBase

Interesting question. Have we ever seen Liliana interacting with Vampires? She's mostly associated with Zombies - also Specter's during her difficult phase before WotC decided to make their characters more focused. A result of that focus is that Sorin gets dibs on Vampires now, too. But Innistrad t...

Re: Thirteen Temples of Theros: of gods, men, and road trips

I would argue Felling the Giants is a bad choice for a mythic too, since Fall of the Titans is rare! Chosen of Ashiok is Augur of Bolas ++ - that is absolutely not worthy of being a mythic in my opinion. Rare would even be pushing it. Arena Rector is mythic because it calls back to Academy Rector -...

Re: Thirteen Temples of Theros: of gods, men, and road trips

Academy Theologian sounds extremely non-Theran for a cardname. It and Chosen of Ashiok are also incredibly bad choices for mythics. Denounce conceptually is weird. Theros is an enchantment set, so you want players to play enchantments. This mechanic is themed as something that will cause enchantmen...

Re: Thirteen Temples of Theros: of gods, men, and road trips

Nice job, I really, really like the parallel between the black spell and Liliana's ulti. I do think too that you can downgrade the spell to uncommon, so as to not have the same effect at the same rarity. A couple of wording details: In Kaya's +1, "until your next upkeep" is a bit more in ...
