Re: [ELD] New Planeswalker OKO

From the art I get bgu but from the description I get gur. Pranksters are usually thought to be red but I could see it in black somehow. Like someone who enjoy deceiving others a bit too much.

Re: Overrated or Underrated?

Real three color decks are very, very overrated. Never managed to finish a run (Bo1 or Bo3) with a 3 color deck in arena, even with insane insane decks like full elemental lists with Omnath, Locus of the Roil and double Risen Reef , or Yarok, the Desecrated + Meteor Golem + Portal of Sanctuary . The...

Re: Faerie Miscreant

Miscreant is still pretty good in Bo3. By itself I would play it with 4x copies and 3x copies if I have several cards that plays well with it (any mass pump, Portal of Sanctuary , Pattern Matcher ). In Arena Bo1 I refrain from playing it unless I'm deep in WU Flyers. Heart-Piercer Bow is absolutely ...

Re: Mono-Red Aggro

The list with Spitfire I dont like. Even if you could trigger it for free once every turn (with M20 lizard for example), its still just a 3/3 flyer for 3. I think its only playable if you go all in on the Cavalcate of Calamity plan. The second list is more reasonable but in the end the different bet...

Re: Esper Hero

More recent lists are running Deputy over Hostage Taker, mostly because of Scapeshift. Against Vamps I dont know which one I prefer. Hostage looks better because with only 2-3 answers, you have a decent chance to secure the stolen creature. However most vamps are really bad on your side of the board...

Alternative Domri and Samut from WAR

It bothers me a lot that Domri have both a mythic and a rare card in Ravnica 3 block. I really think they should have done what they did with Vraska, Dovan and Kaya. I play a little bit of gruul midrange and I see my opponents mixing up the two Domri all the time. There is also the problem that a hy...

Re: Tri-basic Rewarders

Pretty cool. Only problem is that the ability is not as meaningful in high cmc cards. For example, its unlikely you woukd ever play Canyon Hauler outside of monored (in constructed). Since its CMC is 3, the ability is essentially always activated unless you play some utility lands. In cmc > 3 the sc...

Re: This is a Wug

I think the first version is very simple and elegant, and it's a power house in slower formats like standard. If it sticks, it's free CA and a growing board for a creature that is on curve.

Re: extend your favourite m:tg set!

It is intentional. The card is supposed to be either a very cheap sweep with some harsh downsides or powerful build around engine if you can raise it's toughness by one.

Re: Brawl Coming to Arena

I'm really excited by this. Been playing a lot in arena during this summer and it looks like the perfect place for Brawl.

I only wish there was a non-rotating version of Brawl, just because I think people will grow attached to their brawlers and it will suck when rotation comes.

Re: [M20] Core 2020 General discussion thread

One of the best core sets imo. The uncommons are so good you can build around then. Almost every single rare is interesting and contributes to some.format. The draft is amazing, the best one since Dominaria. The art is spot on, my only complaint is, I would like just a little bit more coherence. For...

Re: Intentions and Improvements

One way I personally use to divide between Tier 1 (Proven) and Tier 2 (Established) is first to pool all decks with significant meta share. Then if the deck has a meta share above 1/n where n is the number of pooled decks, that deck is tier 1. Otherwise, it's tier 2. All non-pooled decks would be Ti...

From The Dark. The cards may have a more modern power level. Flagellant 1w Creature - Human Cleric {C} Whenever Flagellant is dealt damage, you gain that much life. r : Flagellant deals 1 damage to target creature you control. 1/3 Not a original design (I' have posted it before in other venues).

Re: "Tale" or "Page" mechanic from Throne

I think it's weird that the second box is an ability that it's only active after you play the spell. This way each tale creature is vanilla by default and each tale have two separate effects by default. As consequence we can't have a bird tale creature because we can't have bird without flying. A mo...
