Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Oh look another easy peasy outlet for Rooftop Storm infinite combo. I appreciate this one being on theme and will be adding it to Grimgrin immediately. I do not appreciate the excessive bookkeeping required for adding the counters if your opponents ask you to play it out.

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread

I'm seeing Alkaline Trio on Tuesday. I'm so pumped! They might be my favorite band, their new record is killer, and I. Am. Ready. I like their new single a lot but haven't made time to listen to the rest of the album. I'm not going to make it to their show this month but definitely enjoyed them liv...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

Circling back to the Boros debate I have to admit that they have made some efforts in recent years to expand RW from just Boros things. That being said I reserve the right to be mad until they remember that R and W have overlap in various forms of denial and give me a suitable legend to ruin my frie...

Why the hell is this card worth money? I've hated it since efhe first day I saw it in Odyssey, I'm not changing my opinion now.

Both my kids were (are) atrocious sleepers so I feel your pain. With my son it was 2.5 years until he slept through the night. And my daughter is the kid who catches every minor illness and chucks like an Exorcist screen test. So yeah, I hope it passes quick and you all get some rest.

Re: Was WotC's embrace of Commander a good thing?

Eh I don't know. My gut tells me I was a lot happier when every set wast full of commander targeted cards and decks and legends out the ass. There's probably a number of reasons for that but I'm not going to do any self reflection and instead say Wizards is the villain.

Re: [Off-Topic] Community Chat Thread

The issue with Prime-time in my group (keeping in mind I have what I consider a prototypical EDH group) was that it was massively centralizing. Every game someone would play Prime-time and then the table would play a Shahrazad game of who could make everyone the most miserable with clones and reanim...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Cliffside Rescuer

Highly efficient fetching did kind of jack up the dynamics of playing 3+ colors, I can't really argue against that. I guess that's cool if you're only concerned about efficiency but not great if you care about there being some kind of incentive for limiting yourself to fewer colors.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Saheeli, Filigree Master

I think the main problems with planeswalker ultimates and emblems are generally related to stuff like Doubling Season and proliferate that let them be reached without giving opponents an opportunity to attack. Those methods deprive opponents of their primary method of counterplay by removing combat...

If this cost 4 and hit all opponents we might be talking but as is it's virtually unplayable.

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Ninja of the Deep Hours

I'm a Yuriko guy so I'm a Deep Hours guy, but beyond that I'm very fond of him from budget decks back when he was first printed. A+ in my book, although limited usefulness in EDH

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Rocco, Cabaretti Caterer

There was a time when I would have picked this guy up immediately and made a decisively un-fun deck that lasted all of 2 weeks. I guess I'm getting old because I just don't have the Naya bloodlust I once had.

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

My favorite card in the set is probably Case of the Locked Hothouse . Slogurk, the Overslime has become my signature deck as of late and it's a slam dunk there. I see you fellow Slojerk enjoyer. Every once in a while, probably twice a year or less, I see a card that necessitates me making an online...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Hammer Mage

Spellshapers are generally underplayed in this format if you ask me, but this guy has the same problem as all R mass artifact removal in that your R deck is more likely than not playing more artifact mana than anyone else at the table. I stick with targeted removal or stuff like Vandalblast whenever...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Mirrex

Thanks to the tokens not being able to block this doesn't have the flexibility or power level I would be looking for in either defensive or aggressive decks. Stax has better options too.

Marvo, Deep Operative made me smile. I know the deep sea denizens have gotten a lot of love in various sets over the last couple years but none of them are Octopus Rogues. The little guy got a job, I'm so proud of him.

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

My gut reaction is this is a defensive piece for decks playing utility land packages. Making sure Cradle or Sanctum have inevitability sounds pretty good to me. One Amulet of Vigor and you're all set.
