wow

twilit canyon
#

$30-40

steady onyx
#

that’s like kinda solemn judgment than summon a monster to your field for free

twilit canyon
#

[[cyclonic rift]] is another insanely good card that is also expensive

lost widgetBOT
twilit canyon

theres also [[force of will]]

[[deadly rollick]]

lost widgetBOT
twilit canyon
#

good cards

#

somewhat expensive

#

rollick not as much but meh

#

not as needed

#

the big one is definitely mana drain, cyclonic rift, and force of will

#

and then of course

#

fetch land mana base

steady onyx
#

i’ve heard of that

#

i’ve heard of that

steady onyx
#

precon

#

i swear i own this card

#

let me check when I get home

#

mabye I own some of these cards

twilit canyon
#

if you have it

#

yeah

steady onyx
#

or mabye I bought as a upgrade

#

boy o boy do I love 130$ shipping KEKW

twilit canyon
#

man what the fuck

#

are they shipping to fucking antarctica

trail anvil
#

did you use the shipping optimizer tool thingy?

last glen
#

The optimizer should take shipping into account anyway

steady onyx
#

i just needed this as

#

ss

#

cause it was so funny

trail anvil
#

ye lol

steady onyx
#

i’m also not ordering everything online

#

so it should be even less shipping

#

is there an easy way to go thru card store and look for cards u need

#

if they have like binders and boxes

#

or is it just gonna be tedious

trail anvil
#

I think it depends on the LGS

steady onyx
#

they have boxes of color

#

and than binders is like 1$ up

#

so i will look thru binders first I think

#

than just go thru blue and black boxes

gritty nest
#

I want your guys opinion. Selling my cards to get a 3D printer?

glad peak
#

Yes

#

Endlessly yes

#

Forever yes

#

Well, it depends on how good you are at 3D modeling

gritty nest
#

Negative

glad peak
#

Bruh

gritty nest
#

I could use the money for both a printer and/or FL Studio

glad peak
#

Are you good at programming at least?

gritty nest
#

I’m going to learn

glad peak
#

Maybe you can make robots then

#

But FL as in fruityloops, the music thing?

sudden lava
#

Oh

gritty nest
#

The music production software yea

sudden lava
#

I know who the bonus card will be

#

for the monty python lair

gritty nest
#

Island

glad peak
#

If you can figure out how to sell a couple things 3D printing then the printer will be much more effective

gritty nest
glad peak
#

A… wut

glad peak
#

You can I guess lol

sudden lava
#

Kenrith reprint in the SL surely

glad peak
#

But some things I remember people buying are stuff like pins

#

Pins, commander accessories, deck boxes

gritty nest
#

I’ll probably print deck boxes for my case

glad peak
#

Those would be about 12 hours of printing and half a spool

#

Actually probably less

#

The gearbox I had took about 12 hours and it’s pretty big

gritty nest
#

I only need like 3 more deck boxes

#

They’ll be about the size of ultimate guard boulders

#

Because my case only holds boxes about those size effectively

#

I was looking into getting the Ender V2 or V3 SE tbh

glad peak
#

Can’t remember what the difference between the two are but ender v2 is a good home use one

gritty nest
#

Fair, I don’t know much tbh

twilit canyon
#

@sleek ferry i forgot to send u the list but this is what i've been testing in timeless. i did make an edit to play a single chthonian

sleek ferry

Oh yeah ty. I was meaning to try it and test cthonian if anything, this saves me the trouble of going through the initial testing

copper pecan
#

there are now 4700 triggers on the stack

#

the game seems to have crashed

#

it booted me back to the main menu

lusty trench
#

Behold the take of all time

golden plover
#

I mean, I can get where he's coming from

#

But he's also overreacting

#

We are 2 for 3 for Modern Horizons sets outright breaking Modern

#

It's because all three have been mega pushed, but WoTC needs enfranchised modern players to buy new cards

#

There's a lot of good designs in each modern horizons set

sleek ferry
#

I’m honestly just extremely annoyed that the people that are the loudest about the state of modern, don’t even actually play modern tbh

golden plover
#

But the pushed cards have all been mega pushed

#

The solution isn't "stop printing MH tho"

#

It's just "dial the power back on MH cards"

lusty trench
#

Im praying that HMV doesn't drop my preorder for the squirrel deck because I am not paying more than retail for a bad tribal deck

copper pecan
#

acting like the entire set was a mistake because of one broken card is really throwing the baby out with the bathwater imo

golden plover
#

It's mostly tho they just need to tone down the problem cards each time

glad peak
#

Modern players: “oh new toys! Also the meta is more interactive, I like it”
Non-modern players: “modern is dead and horizons has killed it, there’s no interaction!”

#

That’s really how things looked before and rn

sleek ferry
#

Also, once the meta settles we not only see an extremely diverse meta, but old decks pop up again

#

These same people don’t know that Nadu isn’t dominating MTGO challenges to the same degree and are grasping at the PT results as a way to validate their point

glad peak
#

It’s like people saying if they win game 1 they should win the match

#

Legit had people tell me that Hahaa

gritty nest
#

My only issue with mh3 is it should not have had a commander set of stuff

#

Do you guys think Nadu is still on the chopping block in modern? I don’t keep up enough to know and don’t want to assume

sleek ferry
#

I’ve always stuck to my guns on the regard that hitting shuko probably pushes Nadu down enough without hitting it

#

As it adds an extra mana for the combo

gritty nest
#

There’s what, 3 total equip 0 equipment?

#

Leather armor and Umbral Mantle

#

Idk the legality of those two

golden plover
#

Nadu is way more of an issue in the future tho

gritty nest
#

Leather Armor
Umbral Mantle
Lightning Greaves
Shuko

#

4 my bad

golden plover
#

Hitting Shuko is fine I guess, but [[Nomads en-Kor]] also exists

lost widgetBOT
golden plover
#

And you can still saga into stuff like [[Lavaspur Boots]] which is admittedly slower

lost widgetBOT
golden plover
#

Nadu also causes design problems down the line tho

#

So I dunno why it's not easier to just take out the problem card and call it a day

gritty nest
#

Basically hitting Shuko slows but not fully eliminates the problem?

golden plover
#

Hitting Shuko becomes "let's hope this card doesn't become an issue again later"

#

Also personally seeing shuko on the banlist sounds really embarassing lmao

sleek ferry
#

Hitting Shuko puts Nadu in line with where most other decks can deal with it. The impact of needing an extra turn to get the combo going is bigger than you guys think

gritty nest
#

It sounds like Konami logic hitting Shuko imo but that’s none of my business

golden plover
#

Yeah I think hitting shuko does feel very konami logic

gritty nest
#

How quick is modern at the moment? Like how many turns to decide a game

twilit canyon
#

3

#

thats been the modern hard limit forever

gritty nest
#

I see

golden plover
#

Also I can't see Shuko ever being a problem card anywhere else

twilit canyon
#

cephalid breakfast

#

there shouldnt be cards that cost 0-1 and equip for 0

#

without a huge restriction like leather armor

trail anvil
#

what gets me about nadu is this thing looked fuckin insane out the box. hogaak maybe you could look at it and say "oh that's a fun casting cost" but nadu just had so many fuckin ways to make it balanced that they didn't take

glad peak
#

Funny thing, initial thought was the card was bad

#

And then we read the card a second time

#

And then we remembered shuko

trail anvil
#

was it really even bad on first read? at very minimum we thought it was [[ivy, gleeful spellthief]] adjacent with a strong effect stapled

lost widgetBOT
trail anvil
#

and a 3 mana 3/4 flying body is pretty decent already

#

apparently neheb's fate is TBD, according to the original dude who released the clarification @golden plover

golden plover
#

Ayy that's good

#

Hopefully it's safe then

golden plover
glad peak
#

The very first time we read it here and other spoiler channels it was mostly “you get value when it gets removed but it’s mid” and then everyone started seeing the synergies

#

By first impressions I mean when most people misread the card in the first place lol

golden plover
#

I guess that's fair, but I think the general consensus is that Nadu was fucked from the start

glad peak
#

Yeah I remember a lot of people thought it only triggered off spells and made their assessment that way

golden plover
#

Just had someone [[Defabricate]] my fetch?

lost widgetBOT
golden plover
#

I assume it's probably because Stifle is a rare WC and people play sub-optimal stuff when they're out of WCs (Arena economy is beyond fucked)

steady onyx
#

hey stupid question

#

is there an easy way to print out a decklist from moxfield

#

that has colours and stuff

#

so I can look for cards at my ots really easily

#

and not just go by name?

#

best I got was this but this didnt have the colours

#

like I can get to this so I can check off but will I just have to manually put the colours in?

stark skiff
#

just screenshot it and print it/save it?

sleek ferry
#

The matchup vs azorius control is so satisfying

He's not like crazy strong, but he's always fun in standard and he leads to really interesting combats

#

I hope a lot of the cube all stars are there

Especially the section of white 2 and 4 drops

Red 3 drops too

True, would be nice if the set is basically a low power cube

Sorcery
After the first postcombat main phase this turn, there's an additional combat phase followed by an additional main phase. At the beginning of that combat, untap all creatures that attacked this turn.
Rebound (If you cast this spell from your hand, exile it as it resolves. At the beginning of your next upkeep, you may cast this card from exile without paying its mana cost.)

trail anvil
#

understandable why this one's the exception

golden plover
#

Yo Neheb is safe!

#

Also, I was really confused why my friend was in the "post your reply" thing for a second

trail anvil

oh do you recognize their pfp lol

I just yoinked this from reddit

golden plover

Yeah, I literally posted it in a discord they're in and saw their pfp right above it

Otters love oil

Theres a gay joke in here somewhere

lusty trench

I assume these guides are done very late and rushed out because like... Anyone proof reading this would see the issue

golden plover

Yeah, it happens a lot lmao

This one is funnier tho because of the oil

otters love oil, just check how they deal with oil in the ocean- oh wait

Cave Johnson: "what do you mean they don't like it and are actively trying to get rid of it? We spent so much money on this that we should've declared bankruptcy yesterday! Is there at least a picture of them looking somewhat neutral about it? No? What do I hire you idiots for!"

copper pecan
golden plover
#

Oh I didn't even notice that

copper pecan
#

there are only 5 equips in the entire set, 3 at uncommon and 2 at rare

golden plover
#

There's like 3 equipment in the set

#

And Mabel

copper pecan
#

oh true i forgot about mabel

golden plover
#

But she's at mythic

#

Wait lemme check the ONE draft archetypes

copper pecan
#

still though that's very misleading as to what the mosue archetype does

#

one's boros archetype was equipment

golden plover
#

Yeah it's probably that they didn't change it much from copy-pasting

#

I was trying to see if the wording was "support the rebels with equipment" or something tho

lusty trench
#

[[Mable]]

lost widgetBOT
#

Multiple cards match “Mable”, can you be more specific?

lusty trench
#

[[Mable, heir]]

lost widgetBOT
#

No card found for “Mable, heir”

lusty trench
#

I'm going to scream

gritty nest
copper pecan
#

okay it's five equips: two uncommons, one uncommon that makes a token, one rare, and one rare that makes a token

#

six if you include sword of fire and ice which is a special guest card

golden plover
#

I wouldnt count it. Sure, you can draft it but it's very unlikely

Was the best pull

lusty trench

Damn, hosed

golden plover

Crazy amount of packaging

lusty trench
#

No it's multiple

#

The word boosters is pluralized

golden plover
#

Oh it's a box

lusty trench
#

12 packs at around £250... That's about £20 a pack, 5 rares per pack, that's £4 a rare. Not a bad rate considering play boosters are £6-7 and you can get premium treatments

#

Unfortunately the set just lacks value

#

It's cute, it's going to sell well, but no cards in it are above £15 even now

Too late

twilit canyon
#

tho i do think that this deck has strong plays vs good decks too

trail anvil
#

I agree. it needs to be taken with a grain of salt, but rakdos as a shell is already decent and I think the wezl is a 3-drop that must be answered before it drops a carnosaur for free

#

all that said if aggro is hurt decently by rotation then I like this deck's chances even more. I'm not sure I'd make the exact same card choices but there's a lot of good stuff

gritty nest
#

What do you guys think of the commander precons btw?

stark skiff
#

Thought they were lol

sleek ferry
#

I’ve seen the light for standard post rotation

#

And that light is Orzhov

trail anvil
#

they seem solid

gritty nest
#

Yea bant group hug seems the best in terms of options

trail anvil
#

well for that it depends which playstyle you like tbh

sudden lava
#

Just picked up these 2 at locals today

#

sadly could not find a Gluntch in the monster manual-esque style, but its ok

gritty nest
#

glunch is apparently best at king making
kwain is perfect for handing out knives in the right order

glad peak
#

The precon face commanders have some decent uses

#

Cough- dockside- cough

gritty nest
#

?

glad peak
#

Zinnia with dockside nyaruhodo

#

And cards that grab dockside

#

Also bumbleflower has a couple infinite storm combos in that color

#

Decent options to think about

gritty nest
#

oh

trail anvil
trail anvil
#

gluntch it depends how you wanna play it. I usually use him to boost the player who's doing the worst while convincing the table I'm not a threat

gritty nest
#

this is where i get the knives comment from btw

trail anvil
#

I've seen that video before but I'm still not quite sure what he means lol

sudden lava
gritty nest
#

kwain is best for group hug where you want to win
glunch best for helping
the last one is best for doing whatever

sudden lava
trail anvil
#

tbh maybe

#

I think bumbleflower will become the new best with the synergies she promotes and the fact that you can choose who gets the draws

exactly

do you mean out of the bloomburrow precon commanders or the group hug commanders

man I feel like I just completely glossed over some cards on reveal

stark skiff
#

These were the foil pulls from 3 collector boxes. I only bought 3 cause I thought the raised foils were a guarantee KEKW @sleek ferry @atomic harness @rigid scarab

Aside from that I got 2 borderless Tree Cities and 1 regular foil so that’s neat to get rid of.

Me buying my cards from Spain because for whatever reason they're cheap as shit there

stark skiff
#

the pain

lusty trench
#

Iirc infamous cruelclaw is like £6 in Spain rn

stark skiff
#

base is like $14 foil is like $20 lol

#

but it is presale so it might go down but magic is more resilient so idk

lusty trench
#

There's a lot of good cards I think are undervalued in bloom burrow right now, cruel claw isn't one of them

stark skiff
#

yeah usually happens where random stuff shoots up. I think the seasons are way too cheap

#

btw looking at the raised foils and now I want Gev and Baylen lol

#

the bear is dope but expensive af

lusty trench
#

The bear is one of those cards I think is cheap af rn and I have no clue why

#

A lot of green decks want it

glad peak
#

Which bear?

stark skiff
#

oh i was just looking at the raised foil its like $235. Borderless is like $45/$55, $15, $40, and the regular is like $10, $14

stark skiff

#

I was going to build an analyst deck and the bear was like $40

are all the commanders in raised foil or just hazel?

oh tcg only has hazel

#

The bunny one definitely has one from memory

#

Huh some are JP only?

#

Happy that people are recognising that pollywog prodigy is the best new commander cards

glad peak
#

Welp flubs might be cedh playable

#

All in storm, not the best at it but it’s funny

lusty trench
#

Flubs will probably do fine in cedh yeah he's constant value

#

Decent colours

glad peak
#

Him and eruth is an obvious synergy even in casual that I can see people pushing him out of tables

lusty trench
#

Flubs is one of those commanders where you can't read it and assume the player using it will be doing fair things with it

#

Like if you rock up with flubs to a casual game I'm expecting war crimes

#

Same for cruelclaw

glad peak
#

Cruelclaw is interesting, idk if I prefer it as turbo naus or big stuff reanimator

stark skiff
#

all ive seen is turbo naus lol

glad peak
#

Yeah, she lends well to reanimator since you can discard a fatty to reanimate or just flip into it

stark skiff
#

heh cruelclaw is in the vid i linked

#

is there a easy and kinda decent deck that will be good after the format switches in mtga? i kinda wanna try mtga again but idk what to build

#

i dont have that many cards

#

or wildcards

#

but idk

stark skiff
fallow citrus
steady onyx
#

this is what I have

steady onyx
#

standard seems the most common

#

so probaly that

fallow citrus
#

well if you want a decent standard deck you'll want to wait until bloomburrow settles and everyone thinks of decks to play

steady onyx
#

ah

#

welp

fallow citrus
#

for a good cheap deck there will probably still be a version of mono red aggro rocking around

steady onyx
#

are any blue / dimir/ azorious/ simic decks cheap and good

#

those are my favorite colours normally

fallow citrus
#

yeah

lusty trench
#

(why is there less than a month between standard sets)

fallow citrus
#

this is why I don't play standard

#

a format constantly evolving is good if evolutions have a healthy time between them

golden plover
#

It's crazy that Alchemy gets old rotation and Standard doesnt

#

The extra year of rotation doesn't really seem like it helped standard tbh. Just kept the annoying cards in there longer

golden plover
#

Turns out a stacked 1 drop with 5 lines of text is strong

steady onyx
#

is it more worth to open packs u need mythic from or rare from

#

i have 15 rare wc and 7 mythic

#

i need 20 rares and 6 mythic

#

there are 2 sets I need 3 rare 3 mythic and 1 set I need 8 rare 0 mythic

#

i assume open the set with 8 rare and 0 mythic?

#

for mtga

copper pecan
#

if you're looking for a specific rare in arena then it is more worth it to open packs that have that card

#

for mythics it isn't worth it because mythics are a lot rarer

steady onyx
#

ok

#

and i already have all the mythic wild cards I would need

#

ok

#

also another stupid question, is this legal in standard? i was following a list that said standard legal but had this card in it, i am confused because it seems to be from kaldesh which I dont think? is a standard set

copper pecan
#

that is legal in standard because it was reprinted in thunder junction

steady onyx
#

but that means I need that copy?

#

from thunder junction

golden plover
#

Nah, you can use a copy from any set

steady onyx
#

o

#

k

#

thanks

fallow citrus
#

yeah mtg is

#

if a card is legal, any printing of that card is legal

steady onyx
#

is the format where this deck is popular popular format irl?

#

i kinda wanna try to play this irl

#

it seems cheap

#

only like 100$

golden plover
#

This deck would really only work in Standard

#

It's probably not likely you've got a standard scene, but if you do, it's good there

lusty trench
#

Man it is hot as balls in my lgs rn

golden plover
#

Speaking of good decks, this one does everything

#

Crazy how when all your cards cost 2 mana and do a billion damage you just win

steady onyx
#

just like check ots?

golden plover
#

You can check in their official app and there's a store locator on their website

#

Both should tell you if there's any standard events

#

Otherwise I guess you just gotta ask

lusty trench
#

Damn bloomburrow really do be a set where I care more about the rares than the mythics

golden plover
#

Do note the official app is shit and crashes and constantly doesn't show events lmao

trail anvil
#

you don't even need to download companion, just look up "mtg event locator"

golden plover
#

Yeah honestly that's better

#

I literally only use companion for events where I've gotta

#

And even then it sucks half the time

trail anvil
#

I just use it to sign in then use it as a life tracker lol

golden plover
#

Its not a pre-release if companion doesn't crash and we have to start manually updating the bracket

#

Literally every pre-release has had companion crash, so my LGS has to get the bracket running on their own after like round 2

steady onyx
#

is modern standard?

golden plover
#

No, modern is a different format

trail anvil
#

no modern is another format

steady onyx
#

oh

gritty nest
#

Is standard commander

golden plover
#

Standard is Standard

steady onyx
#

yeah everything near me is commander

golden plover
#

Sounds about right

#

Ngl, paper standard is very dead

trail anvil
#

if it doesn't say standard sometimes it'll say enchantress night for those who are nb or women

#

but yeah for standard if you're not in a big city you might need to expand your search

golden plover
#

Ngl, paper anything but commander is struggling

#

I'm in a big city and we only get standard running twice a month

steady onyx
#

im also in a big city

#

i think...

golden plover
#

Modern once. Pioneer once. And anything else is non-existent

#

Commander night every Tuesday and Saturday tho

trail anvil
#

hm maybe my city is just a big magic city

#

we have locals out the ass

golden plover
#

Biggest city in the state here and is still he driving an hour for Standard

#

But also, Arena really killed any reason to play paper standard

#

(Outside of it being cheaper in paper half the time and LGSes having leagues with prizes)

#

I was gonna say post-rotation standard might be cheap enough we'll see it running again

#

But.... Post rotation standard still has DMU

lusty trench
trail anvil
#

yep only 4 sets rotating

#

at least kamigawa is

golden plover
#

DMU is legal until next summer

lusty trench
#

ONE MORE YEAR SHEOLDRED

golden plover
#

Actually wanna know something fucked up?

#

SNC and Midnight Hunt are currently still standard legal

#

They rotate with Bloomburrow

#

But it feels like SNC has been in standard FOREVER

#

This rotation is Kamigawa, SNC, and the Innistrads

#

Next is DMU, BRO, ONE, MOM, and Aftermath

copper pecan
#

my town has three locals and it looks like two of them have modern events fairly often

#

also i'm glad that alchemy will soon no longer have sheoldred

twilit canyon
#

one format will be saved

trail anvil
#

it's okay golgari landfall will save the format

golden plover
#

It's so weird alchemy uses the regular standard rotation timeline

copper pecan
#

iirc they kept the old schedule for alchemy because they wanted to further differentiate it from standard

sleek ferry
#

that's exactly why yeah

golden plover
#

What I don't get is why standard is rotating on 3 years in general tho

#

Isn't the biggest complaint with standard that it already feels really stale? Adding another year doesn't help it feel less stale from what I understand

copper pecan
#

people really hate rotation

#

it's not about it being stale

golden plover
#

I feel like the majority of complaints I hear about standard are "format has felt the same for the past year +" from people who play

#

I know rotation sucks, but I wouldn't expect an extra year of sets in standard to fix the same feeling format issue

copper pecan
#

yeah but the issue isn't keeping the people who play happy, it's to get more people to play in the first place

golden plover
#

There's really not any winning with that one then, is there?

#

Well at least with paper

copper pecan
#

probably not but that's what they were trying to do with the schedule change

twilit canyon
#

ppl who are playing standard rn

#

are gonna do so basically regardless

#

so

#

try and appeal to more players to grab them

sleek ferry
#

Correct, I’ll keep playing standard regardless of what they do

#

Also I wouldn’t say the format has been the same

#

If anything, OTJ shook up the meta a good amount

Instant
Gift an extra turn (You may promise an opponent a gift as you cast this spell. If you do, they take an extra turn after this one.)
Create four 2/2 blue Bird creature tokens with flying. If the gift was promised, all permanents you control phase out, and until your next turn, your life total can't change and you gain protection from everything.
Exile Perch Protection.

trail anvil
#

gift an extra turn is a genuinely fuckin wild line of text, but I can definitely see scenarios where you give it to the last place player to either put them back in the game or the extra turn doesn't even matter because they're so behind

it's 100% not best in slot but I imagine the reactions to this card will be hilarious

I just opened a bloomburrow box and figured

There's nearly zero value in here

The most expensive base card in the set is $30

Then $23

#

And it just drops

trail anvil

yeah sounds about right

And these are prerelease prices

This is as high as it gets

Like that's staggeringly low

I picked up two precons today

Mono black is pretty fun too but wouldn’t recommend starting with it

fallow citrus

how does energy play

glad peak
#

Midrange

#

You can play aggressive and grind value with phlage while controlling the board with removal and maybe a board wipe here and there depending on your build

I’ve seen some lists go more aggro and some go into jeskai for control

okay that seems pretty cool

I got 2 copies of Wildsear

It's at least more interesting than MKM and some of the cards are probably playable

Idk, at least in standard MKM is aging pretty well

There are some interesting ideas for decks coming out of the set for sure but prices will be determined by how good decks coming from blb will be

Oof

Red and black was my strongest but was lacking in early removal and my overall presence in the game started sputtering out after turn 4

gritty nest
#

Ouch

#

Yea no by the time I got back every single prerelease kit sold except 1, and someone put that last one on hold for some reason

#

I was more annoyed with some random who never shows up putting it on hold vs it actually selling then and there

lusty trench
#

My lgs is straight up out of packs

gritty nest
#

Mine still has boxes

#

Some precons left

#

I think the RG and Jeskai decks sold the least, with Group Hug selling first followed by squirrels

#

My friend said the squirrel deck is kinda mid in use

#

With Bello and Zinnia being the dumbest

lusty trench
#

Squirrels is just kinda missing some of the stuff you’d like to finish with

#

End raze forerunners is a poor hoof substitute

gritty nest
#

Oh definitely

#

My friend added earthcraft and Deranged Hermit to the deck immediately

barren cairn
#

The jeskai one

#

Is the only one left here

lusty trench
#

Generally it’s just a generic token spam deck, but since squirrels is incredibly niche it struggles

#

The jeskai one seems the most generic one

barren cairn
#

I would buy it bc they have it cheap but I have too many decks

#

Also generic

#

Might just buy the commander by itself later

For how hard they advertised mice as a creature type for bloomburrow, they sure didn’t print any with any real cohesion

At most Mabel enables the others with her equipment ig

#

Shame I would’ve liked a mouse deck

rigid scarab
lusty trench
#

Bro don’t they’re working so hard VERYSADCAT

Bloomburrow's push of tribal themes I think is gonna make the set kind of parasatic

Which may hurt it in the long run

#

oh if you're edh only then ig that's something else lol

rigid scarab
#

Bloomburrow doesn't give many things for EDH that aren't exclusive to bloomburrow

#

And since Bloomburrow is a low power set

trail anvil
#

you can run some of the mice that have valiant ig in equipment lol

rigid scarab
#

Those new EDH decks are gonna be low power

glad peak
#

I wonder how the limited environment is

#

The precons are pretty low power but the commanders are absurd in design

trail anvil
#

time to find out, going in 2 hours muugu

rigid scarab
#

Like I'm struggling to name like

#

10 cards in bloomburrow that commander players want

#

And in 2024 that's not a good look

lusty trench
trail anvil
#

perch protection

#

didn't some commander players complain about power creep within commander too tho

#

I don't think every set needs to be a big addition to the format

lusty trench
#

Into the flood maw is still what I consider the best card in the set

rigid scarab
trail anvil
#

I think the squirrel commander and some of the cards are pretty solid tbh

rigid scarab
#

Its main selling point in commander is that it's cute and children will like it

lusty trench
#

I’m mainly confused by some of the new squirrel commander stuff

trail anvil
#

catering to a certain market can be big bucks

copper pecan
#

i think it's gonna carry it pretty well

rigid scarab
#

Looking at cardkingdom the most expensive card is $30

#

And that's prerelease price

So that's as good as it's getting for a few months

Why the fuck is this in squirrels

copper pecan

i've seen more people excited for bloomburrow than i have for any other set since ltr

lusty trench
#

That’s putting aside the fact it’s awful

trail anvil
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

rigid scarab
#

And like LTR

trail anvil
#

deck likes tokens and that's a token maker. probably why

rigid scarab
#

It's being carried by flavour and theme

#

If LTR was repurposed to like

#

A kaldheim set or something

#

It wouldn't be nearly as well received

copper pecan
#

if ltr was set on dominaria nobody would give a shit about it

rigid scarab
#

But unlike ltr

#

I think bloomburrow has very little for commander players

trail anvil
#

and ltr has 2 extremely format warping cards

barren cairn
#

Won round 1

#

Mabel hits hard af lol

rigid scarab
#

Idk maybe I'm being too hard on the set bc my box was bad

#

But looking at ck I don't think there was any way for the box to be good

#

Even if I pulled like

#

Multiple three-tree cities

trail anvil
#

I wouldn't look at any set for making a profit, but if you really want money cards then mh3 is still probably where it's at

#

fetch lands alone are great to pull

rigid scarab
#

I buy a box when a new set comes out for the pure enjoyment of it

#

Not looking to make a profit

#

If you super duper highroll a set you could get your money back

#

If you super duper highroll here

#

You make like

#

A bit over half the box

#

That's my point

trail anvil
#

tbh my biggest gripe with this set is the lack of a rare land cycle

#

even if it does include a really powerful land

#

that'd help with the overall box return too I imagine

rigid scarab
#

Maybe it's time I look towards building a new deck

lusty trench
#

I think they focused too hard on too many groups rather than making the groups have enough cohesion, it feels very spread thin with a few cards (the valley blankcallers and the dual typed ones) that merge the themes

#

The ones that got the best ride out of those is lizards and rats, the graveyard focus of rats helps keep you relevant in the late if the initial aggro of the lizards fail

#

Frogs and birds are in an odd spot, they care about bouncing to the point it damages their statlines, but don't have anything super great to bounce outside of the higher rarities, I'd say birds and mice also did decently, augmenting flies works as well as augmenting the mice

#

Bats and birds are... Kinda pathetic? They lack stats massively but evasion is always good, it's mainly the payoffs for gaining or losing life aren't great, still they have the best pick of removal

#

Almost forgot racoons, also a good pair for lizards, have some bigger creatures to supplement the late

gritty nest
#

And squirrels?

#

Squirrels otters and uh

#

No just those two

lusty trench
#

Squirrels... Kind of exist? Their theme of food tokens/foraging in limited is hard to pull off

#

Still some have good value/stat lines

#

Otters as well, they rarely get to do anything funky but there are a few decent ones

gritty nest
#

True. I think the forage mechanic is going to be more useful with more cards to work with. Limited there’s like no food generation and no consistent way for recursion from exile

#

What do you think of the stuff like bloodroot apothecary and Three Tree City?

lusty trench
#

Three tree city is interesting, it's a sidegrade? But likely worse cradle, but I don't think highly of cradle to begin with (very much win more usually)

#

Bloodroot apothecary is a very funky card to read, but likely worse than just a stax piece that limits cards played per turn like rule of law

#

Mainly because it's a creature

#

Kill it and continue the combo

gritty nest
#

True

#

I was thinking of getting three tree for Minotaur tribal just because of the high mana curve

#

Averages 4,5,6

#

Like what was said above there’s not really much commander stuff I saw, but even then the set wasn’t commander dedicated right?

lusty trench
#

It's not a bad idea, might give you an extra play per turn

gritty nest
#

And another threat besides Didgeridoo

gritty nest
#

My friends now hate the didgeridoo

#

Do you play commander at all Jotlico or are you more into constructed?

It is good fun, generally end up with a better deck than prerelease if you know how to read a pod despite the lower pack amount

See what colours are not being picked and leave yourself room to pivot to a different colour (not many multi colours) and it should be a good time

the fact that it's a 1-drop makes it fit really damn well into your curve

golden plover
#

Oh cool [[Rage Extractor]] is broken rn in a way that makes it very good

lost widgetBOT
golden plover
#

It's gatherer text broke because it used to use {P} to refer for Phyrexian mana, and now uses {H}

#

But the string isn't there for {H}

#

So on gatherer it now just says "whenever you cast a spell with in its mana cost"

#

Meaning every spell

So until it's officially fixed, Rage Extractor does damage equal to the MV of every spell played

#

if you can reliably get a 1 drop on board this thing seems like basically bte. I'd even be tempted to run this in monored

not to mention it can loot if it's the last thing you cast that turn so the mana doesn't go to waste

The one drop in question that easily activates this in almost every situation [[iridescent vinelasher]]

lost widgetBOT
twilit canyon

its very much a burning-tree emmisary at home type card

but that may be enough

lusty trench
#

Could go iridescent vinelasher turn 1, then turn 2 flamecache into fireglass mentor get the exile card for advantage?

twilit canyon
#

if you dont draw vinelasher

#

does it just brick your entire turn 1 and t2?

There's hired claw as well

#

Not as good but something ig

#

Could also add rotcaller and flamecaller for extra damage? Feels a bit eh though

sleek ferry
#

Flamecaller is cope iirc, one of them is cope

lusty trench
#

On second though hired claw doesn't get the most value out of it, since they need to attack in order to ping, the fireglass mentor will miss the exile top trigger for that turn

Also you probably want to play UR wizards if you’re thinking of merfolk, I’d suggest trying a higher power deck first in modern for a better feel

I've been pilled on disliking the card but I just wonder why so many lists play it still

It's a 2 drop with okay stats that draws a card

Not like great, but it technically isn't bad?

fallow citrus

it's also a 2/1 that draws in a bowmaster world

plus the stats for 2 mana kind of suck unless you already have a lord

Entire lair was fire

i knew arcane signet, greaves, and thought vessel was in it, what else was there?

he seems relatively mild paced, as in youre not going ham by turn 4 all the time? he gets big quick yea (starting at 3-4 p/t depending on how many lands you needed) and requires attacking once on table to really keep the snowball rolling to make the first instant or sorcery dirt cheap

lusty trench
#

Doesn’t seem that great

#

Like not bad

#

But it’s got zero protection and the counters do fuck all if it goes down

#

I’d probably rather play mizzix for the red

#

[[mizzix]]

#

Multiple cards match “mizzix”, can you be more specific?

lusty trench
#

I defy you my own spelling ability

#

[[mizzix of the]]

#

Not as big but it doesn’t just apply to the first spell either

gritty nest
#

And he doesn’t have to attack to reduce

#

Well, to increase reduction

#

I think the big thing being overlooked is the U reduction

#

sure it does things worse than another card but also that is huge

gritty nest
#

im not denying that, my issue is it's a slow snowball due to wanting to attack to keep increasing the flood counters. yea you can use evasion but itll only work so much because you won't always have it

fallow citrus
#

I mean as long as it doesn't die you can swing reliably

#

you don't need to connect, just to swing, so by turn 5 you should be able to start amassing them

glad to see that -1/-1 counters aren't off the table for new sets

#

animal mega-batch seems like it would have ridiculously long reminder text and fellowship seems kinda meh/confusing

#

holidays look like an interesting idea though

#

maybe busted in some places

copper pecan
#

maro put out an article that showed the reminder text for animals and i don't think it would fit on a card

#

it's like 50+ types

gritty nest
#

so this is my deck, its most likely crap

broken fjord
#

So you get 4 free spells per rotation.

gritty nest
#

one free counterspell, and itll either be dramatically reduced or free, depending on its cost

#

if its got U and generic costs, you can only reduce one or the other, if I understood the card right

broken fjord
#

Yeah. I put irenicus' vile duplication in. 2 eluges means UUUU is reduced.

gritty nest
#

true

#

if you decide to look at the deck, let me know what you think btw

modern minnow
#

I kinda like fellowship but i think it's got too much baggage

trail anvil
#

no jaheira with all those tokens?

golden plover
#

Fellowship sounds cute, but the mechanic is clearly named Menagerie

#

Like I'm sorry R+D, the mechanic is called Menagerie

trail anvil
#

also llanowar loamspeaker is an interesting mana dork, is there a reason to run that when there's no other synergy with it making a land creature?

copper pecan
#

defeatable is such a funny name for a mechanic

#

"watch out, my creature can lose"

golden plover

Ya know, I kinda wish [[Omnath, Locus of All]] didn't happen

Legendary Creature — Phyrexian Elemental
If you would lose unspent mana, that mana becomes black instead.
At the beginning of your first main phase, look at the top card of your library. You may reveal that card if it has three or more colored mana symbols in its mana cost. If you do, add three mana in any combination of its colors and put it into your hand. If you don't reveal it, put it into your hand.
4/4

#

I think it would have been cooler for Omnath to get normal black mana and not be compleated

#

Since now this one is gonna fuck up any future omnath plans too

#

Would have been way cooler to have Omnath get black mana as a "last resort" option against the phyrexians too

#

It's not like all of Zendikar was compleated, plane held off really well

trail anvil
#

it's okay just despark him after you decompleat him /s

golden plover
#

And it's not like Omnath gained Colorless and became an Eldrazi during that arc, so it's weird he gets it here

oops, i dropped my super cool planeswalker spark and it broke

how clumsy
