Re: 18 May 2020 Update

Glad for the change. Can finally put to rest all the people calling fire and brimstone, that the commander banlist could somehow dictate what gets banned in vintage. I thought it was the other way around, that what gets banned in vintage gets banned in edh That is how it was. The crazyness was peop...

Re: "From outside the game" -- But not a 'Wish'

Huh? How does second sunrise do that? 'Splain. I mistyped, I meant Approach of the Second Sun. It keeps track of how often something has been cast this game The reason it matters is that the library is a hidden zone to both players. Normally you'd know if you had the card in your deck or not, but w...

Re: "From outside the game" -- But not a 'Wish'

If your deck {whatever criteria} you may cast this spell from your library. You may only cast this spell this way once per game.
Second Sunrise and such keep track of those ideas. Panglacial Wurm can be cast from a hidden zone, why does it happening during a search matter?

Re: SCD: Gifts Ungiven

Its the boogyman from when easy combo was 'soft banned'. It held enough scary clout like 'untap T4 and win' that it never got adequately evaluated like Worldgorger, Metalworker, Staff of Domination, or Kokusho. I 100% support the idea it would not get banned today if it had never been printed, and h...

Re: "From outside the game" -- But not a 'Wish'

I can't really think of any of the traditional anti-wishboard arguments that would realistically hold against a 3-card wishboard. A strong part of the argument is access to more than 100 cards. 'Silver bullets' that are not good enough for a slot most games? Even 3 makes those strongly possible, el...

Re: Hybrid mana

Of course it would raise the power level, they wouldnt be mono-colored any more. It would also lead to homogenization, which I see as a huge downside. I dont think CI is going anywhere, but thanks for discussing it.

Re: Hybrid mana

I think the list is missing quite a few, so mono can make critical mass at under 2. EFC, Vault, Sol Ring, Arcane, Coldsteel, Fellwar, Fractured, Guardian Idol, Pearl Medallion, Marble Diamond, Mindstone, Prismatic, Sphere of Suns, and Though vessel. Thats 14, without hitting anything expensive and s...

I will say that allowing off-color mana rocks would do a *lot* to fix problems with mono-colored decks. Not something I ever considered about color identity rules in general.
How so? There are plenty of mana rocks that fit colorless CI, so what colored ones are making a marked improvement?

Re: "From outside the game" -- But not a 'Wish'

Pray tell, what exactly is the reason? The multiple reasons are all over this thread. If you read them instead of straw-manning them, you would know. The only reason Rule 13 exists because a couple of RC old heads don't like Wishes and not for any actual reason. #wishophobes Rule 11 exists for reas...

Re: "From outside the game" -- But not a 'Wish'

It seems pretty obvious the RC wants to make a change to Rule 11 to make sure the big new splashy things gets played in Commander. I am pretty disappointed about that because of how strongly I agreed with the stance on Wishes. And on top of that Wishes still won't work? Seems like a pretty bad take...

Re: [Speculation] Ban List Update Prediction Thread

I guess, I am not really sure why the community doesn't just agree not to play Flash myself. Feels like a pretty simple thing to do. My group has talked about it and agreed loosely that if it gets to be a big problem we'll talk about it. Demonic Consultation and Thasa's Oracle seems to be a large i...

Re: [Speculation] Ban List Update Prediction Thread

@Hermes_
I just dont think that has anything to do with it. Nothing being talked about here is even $10, its all the interaction and cheap draw / mana you need that is so expensive. The meta having LESS answers certainly isn't the answer.

Re: [Speculation] Ban List Update Prediction Thread

I was on the ban flash band wagon but now, I'm wondering if the actual problem is the fact that players are using proxies. Do you mean the issues is just that people proxies, so the 'best deck' is always available to everyone? Or is there something else? Separately, have you seen any gameplay that ...

Re: [Speculation] Ban List Update Prediction Thread

Wizards already puts up with confusion and issues implementing 2 ban lists for 'Commander' , the RC list and a separate one for MTGO 1v1. I doubt they would entertain a third. I think the idea of additive additional set of cards, maintained by whomever wants to do so, for paper is the best solution....

But it might that she laid it all out there and the rest of the RC/CAG basically ignored her input, but I suspect its more of a case of not really getting the required information across.

[mtgnexus] Random Card of the Day - Prohibit

Everyone has creatures, and many get played as a focal point of the deck. I would absolutely play Remove Soul before Prohibit.

But I would have to be VERY desperate for a counter to consider either.

Hybrid mana

So I think that it's true that color identity provides some deck diversity, but I think it's quite a bit less so with all the options for 5c and partners these days. It's already true that most hatebears decks should be Tymna+Tana or Tymna+Thrasios and are worse by not being them, and any infinite ...

State of the Format 2020

I wish there was something a bit more concrete about the RC's plans for peaceful coexistence with cEDH. I must say that I fervently object to banning cards solely for their benefit. So what would a peaceful plan look like to you? Because the second half of that sounds like 'they can kick rocks', wh...

[Speculation] Ban List Update Prediction Thread

pokken Yea I understand your idea, I just dont see it being distinct from an additional ban list. I guess that may be me assuming the cEDH list would only be additive, but I could easily see where it would unban stuff that wont matter to them. I certainly think cEDH is viable long term, those thing...

Interestingly Oracle seems to be much more of a problem than Flash has been. Now I wont say I have seen anywhere close to enough games to be data, but I have seen a lot more Oracle / Consultation attempts than Flash / Hulk. But people are also well aware of Flash as the 'big bad'. I think that also ...

Re: Proxies in Commander

I am OK within reason. If I only have 1 Scroll rack, but want it in 2 decks, I make a high quality proxy, so people can clearly read it not be fooled its real, and switch it out if they ask. I do try very hard to ask at the beginning of games if I know a deck has 1 or 2.
