Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

I did quick scan of the Fallout card gallery now that it's completed, and there's like only 3 new cards that caught some of my attention (won't be crying if I didn't get them). Ain't doing a review for the set, Energy is still parasitic, I don't toy around with aura and/or equipment enough to bother...

Murders at Karlov Manor Review (Return to Return to Return to Ravnica) I'm going to take this chance to provide a quick update – basically life has been busy and I haven't had the time to even touch my cards as of late, let alone bother updating my threads and I don't foresee being able to so eithe...

Lost Caverns of Jurassic Park Review Honestly, I never cared about Ixalan the same way I didn't for Eldraine, other than being the place where I found out Azor was Lawful Stupid with a capital S. None of the four tribes mattered to me then, nor do they now, although it was disconcerting to see two ...

Dr. Who? Review I have a feeling this might go down the LotR delayed route, so I'm just going to blitz through this one with pretty much only my first impressions, so good chance I've missed shots on top of only commenting on cards that fit my suite or I find interesting enough to comment on. I'm n...

Re: [Re:Commanders] Central Hub

Wilds of Eldraine Review I'll be blunt, Eldraine has always sort of "just being there" for me. The original set might have rippled through 60-card formats, but I was long gone from those when it came out, so I don't really have an opinion on it. The Great Henge was the high-impact card fo...

Re: Let's rank ALL the fixing lands

One thing that diversifies my 3 color mana bases is that I only play on-color fetches. So I only get 3 fetches in a 3 color deck. This opens up another 6 spaces for some of the lower rated duals like Check lands, Lorwyn Filter lands, Tangos, and Basics. My fixing in 3 color typically looks like thi...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Progenitor Mimic

I had thought edhrec would homogenize everything but it seems to just enable people to play any random general pretty well without a lot of screwing around. I see all kinds of diversity at my shop. That said, the diversity is more in the variety of decks and commands--those commanders are still mos...

EDHMasters Review Usually I don't do reviews for Masters sets, because they're just reprints (and as a old-timer I already have more than half of the stuff I would have wanted anyway). But hey, it's the "Commander Masters" that every other Masters set has been meme'ed as for as long as we...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Cloudstone Curio

I run Cloudstone Curio in my Animar deck as a combo piece. I'm not sure if there are any fair uses for it, and its pricetag doesn't help. It could be somewhat interesting as a value engine in Panharmonicon decks, or to protect your stuff from removal in a flash-heavy deck... but it's hard to justif...

Re: [Re:Commanders] Central Hub

Meta-Disclaimer : I've not have had the time to do a "proper" review (at least by my already-low standards). I already had to do the initial review in batches across different days (which was done weeks ago) and the original plan was to do an overall collation review on my review before p...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

I usually don't comment on cards as they're revealed, but since I'm already here for the tidbit of lore, I do have an Animar deck that loves Elrdazi and has a Cascade theme, guess who's a windmill slam for that deck. Stack with Imoti, Celebrant of Bounty and now I can cast Apex Devastator for 7 Cas...

Re: Unreleased and New Card Discussion

[*] Zhulodok, Void Gorger raises lore questions (since there are no other named Eldrazi other than the titans), but looks like a lot of fun. I suspect the deck is a little one-dimensional (ramp → big stuff), but I will call out that it combos with Metalwork Colossus + a sac outlet. Technically, Han...

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

Burgeoning is the most explosive version of Exploration -type effects, especially in a multiplayer environment, which makes it look very good in a vacuum, but in practice it's very easy to see why it's actually a lot more niche than it looks. As mentioned by pokken, it suffers from the card advanta...

Re: [mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Storm's Wrath

Storm's Wrath , the R version of Languish , I guess? Personally, planeswalkers aren't around commonly around enough (the few are are already dispatched via more efficient means anyway) that hitting them is a factor, so just like Languish, this probably a "coincidental choice" wipe for dec...

Re: Poison Counters

I've seen some of the previews and leaks, but haven't really reviewed the set (and won't until the full gallery is out, as per usual). My general consensus on Toxic is that they're rightfully playing it safe (it is after all just a static version of Poisonous). Infect was dangerous because it is tie...

Re: The distasteful task of analyzing the Transformers

@Yatsufusa "until end of turn" effects wear off during the cleanup step. You'll get it back before their turn is over, and then it will trigger again on the next turn. Guess who didn't manage to catch EOT sandwiched between all that text. That's what I get for skimming through texts nowad...

Slicer, Hired Muscle // Slicer, High-Speed Antagonist Think about this. There's enough fast ramp that getting him out on turn 2 is a virtual certainty. On turn 2, he is almost guaranteed to have an opponent to hit. Even if someone has a blocker, it's almost certainly not a good blocker, and they're...

I don't know why this is making me so angry. I just won't buy them. Maybe it's because selling $1,000 for 4 booster packs of proxies doesn't seem that different than selling $1,000 for snake oil.
