It shines in commander games, but you could include it in a main set
wtf is this
It could’ve been very cool in 1v1 still
Rebalancing the effects and the R/R without politics in the lens
MONO RED STORM! ! !
The difficult part is winning with the deck
Because it’s bad
yeah
NEW DECK STANDERD! !

Why am I seeing a lot of Japanese mtg decklists
Does Twitter think I’m in Japan
The solarbym pile
Japan absolutely loves this set
They had a big prerelease event for it
I keep forgetting annul is in standard again
You don’t like the best 1 drop removal in the game?
it's slow
and quite often you don't hit what you really need to
it's good at hitting specifically badger if you go second
I completely forgot doj was in standard
it'd be [[eladamri's call]]
Exactly 
I really need to get on jeskai control but I have no wildcards so I'm stuck in azorius prison
They keep patching foundations 
Join me Queen, skycoach is carrying Azorius right now
the bird?
Yeah
He’s not just the bird he’s The Bird
respect my goat
Skycoach blink cub btw @sleek ferry take notes
just cause he's a dude you can flash in and then blink to dodge removal?
I only got like 7-8 more months of aven, I’m going to use him until he rotates
I thought 10 was the optimal
15 is technically the optimal, but you can get by just doing until they stop giving you 50 gold
On the play and on the draw is so cringe btw
Just say first or second
I know it's minor but it's troll
It sounds more eloquent
Spit it out Sean Nigam
I was gonna ask which set has the most dual lands but I think imma just use the cheap ones
I wanna try an actual control deck
Lorwyn and EoE
They both have shocks
EoE also has planet lands
ngl sos has lute and slow lands for both boros and izzet
if you want jeskai
and capstone
and critique
EoE has enemy color shocks and Lorwyn has allied color shocks
a pyroclasm here would go well with this
Where’s your withering whatever it’s called
I played vs this deck https://fxtwitter.com/ashlizzlle_/status/2047035012579471417?s=46&t=DdUsqNPs-c3IFDRYOhiq8A
My Day 1 Ladder Deck: DIMIR EYESHADOW
︀︀
︀︀This has been my favorite deck for a while and Ral and Grave Researcher really just push it into a competitive range!
︀︀
︀︀Check out the video and pls support :D <3
︀︀youtu.be/M733hm2JaoU
oh this looks sick
[[grave researcher]]
Creature — Troll Warlock
At the beginning of your upkeep, surveil 1. Then if there are three or more creature cards in your graveyard, this creature becomes prepared. (While it's prepared, you may cast a copy of its spell. Doing so unprepares it.)
3/3
Reanimate 
Sorcery
Put target creature card from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control. You lose life equal to that card's mana value.
Oh ya
likeness looter kinda mid
but yea this has been worked on for a while
Oh this deck
Yeah it’s pretty mid but oculus is good enough to carry decks that can get it out
weakest part of the list is grave researcher
Weren’t people playing this in esper for emptiness/helping hand for a while
no cus researcher is from sos
[[helping hand]]
I’m surprised only 1 mockingbird but 4 looter
That card is so ass
yea
Looter is fineish for copying you moon
Not this list specifically I just remember people tried esper oculus for a while
Also surely you don’t need 3 gran grans here
There’s also some of the cheaper lands that are duals when ur at 13hp
If it’s control he can probs get away with scry lands in the surveil slot tho no?
@subtle sierra what’s ur control list look like
He should just run the surveils since you want them for other formats too
Well they’re rares
So I’m saying to save on wild cards
While he gets the rest of the deck
[[emet selch the unsundered]]
No card found for “emet selch the unsundered”
[[emet selch unsundered]]
Legendary Creature — Elder Wizard
Vigilance
Whenever Emet-Selch enters or attacks, draw a card, then discard a card.
At the beginning of your upkeep, if there are fourteen or more cards in your graveyard, you may transform Emet-Selch.
2/4
Hades, Sorcerer of Eld
Legendary Creature — Avatar
Vigilance
Echo of the Lost — During your turn, you may play cards from your graveyard.
If a card or token would be put into your graveyard from anywhere, exile it instead.
"What will become of our triumphs? Our hopes? Our... our despair?"
6/6
Holy
this echoes of eternity shit is so funny
cannot wait until i get to resolve 30 oblivion sower cast triggers irl and make new enemies
truth nuke? no just a regular nuke as you take every turn forever on emrakul cast
https://moxfield.com/decks/mnAY_q92eUiDfNnVg02AIA this is list is what i won my store champ 2 months ago
https://moxfield.com/decks/jpcBJCKK3k6Xz2Vu8XuvLw this one is what i'm thinking of rn for irl but the meta hasn't settled yet so i have no side
also for the new list the lands are weird cause i'm trying to phase out the lands that will rotate, so it's on shocks plus slow lands
i've also been trying 4 critique in arena
there's also the theory for running abrade in main now
control irl tends to run into time issues, so realistically it's all down to g1, so having techs that work generically but are great into control are important
Shock sacred foundry, ocelot pride go
QRT: nocontextpets1
https://t.co/DtaI7C5EQd
Modern players explain this meme
energy is just kind of a simple deck
Apparently I got accepted to Quandrix and Silverquill?
Creature — Cat
First strike, lifelink
Ascend (If you control ten or more permanents, you get the city's blessing for the rest of the game.)
At the beginning of your end step, if you gained life this turn, create a 1/1 white Cat creature token. Then if you have the city's blessing, for each token you control that entered this turn, create a token that's a copy of it.
1/1
this kitty gave me 120 euro
also yeah you absolutely want to main abrade rn
i didn't have a counter up so i dropped lute t4
they did the same
if i didn't have rev the game gets fucked
if they had abrade or smth i would have been fucked
abrade also lets you drop lute t5 and abrade their lute
how much lute are you seeing rn?
also damn witherbloom feels so fuckin clean as a brawl commander, tried making silverquill work before and it just wasn't clicking. this is so much better 😩
if anything is even close to control it's playing it
I guess doubling mana is pretty good 
you can't be braindead about it sometimes cause skipping t4 can lose you the game, but it's otherwise fine
you can simply wait a turn or two

Testing out Annex and Delian feels BUSTED
which one is delian again
oh professor
yeah, that deck is amazing
I think it's a real contender
it's also just genuinely uninteractive once you get the emblem
I hope dellian spawns emblem discourse once more in standard
What is crazy is that he not only gets it after 1 turn but still survives if you just go straight +2 > ultimate
And then sits there and threatens burn 3/draw a card/free removal
Thank you cake
Not +2ing is a mistake tbh
like I basically never 0
I 0 quite often shrug
There are plenty of games where having the extra card threatens more than just 3 damage
Ral has also been performing incredibly well
Well in a deck like that then yeah you always +2 
But plenty of other decks have other things they can be doing
sigh kiddo, you don't see the vision
Ajani + Dellian actually play off each other well
It's funny, he kinda feels like a fair Oko imo
In that he's got a similar play pattern
Also emblem + the annex drain is NASTY
yeah, I don't think dellian is fair at all
But it’s equally terrible to interact with him as oko was
the only "fair" thing about dellian is that he's 4 mana instead of 3
I mean if Delian has to downtick on etb he's in prime removal range
if you're down ticking with nothing else going on, then yeah, you're in a pickle, but you were in a pickle regardless
You can say this about most historically very strong planeswalkers
Isn’t one of the #1 gamefeel complaints people have about them is that they normally dont help as much in bad games as good ones 
btw, I'm on 4x Defend the Rider, and this has to be the funniest card ever
Oko was also technically answerable the issue is that no matter what it feels bad to interact with him
[[defend the rider]]
erode should see an uptick in play
Man mount was such a funny mechanic
I think another big difference is that the Golgari core is strong, but nowhere near the Simic core Oko had access to
The issue with the Golgari core pre SoS was that it was good, but it was directly countered by what was in the meta
we forget that golgari mid was a viable deck for like 18 months
or so
Oh speaking of the Golgari core
I found the tech
People are sleeping on [[Ygra, Eater of All]] rn
Legendary Creature — Elemental Cat
Ward—Sacrifice a Food.
Other creatures are Food artifacts in addition to their other types and have "
,
, Sacrifice this permanent: You gain 3 life."
Whenever a Food is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, put two +1/+1 counters on Ygra.
6/6
There's not a deck in the meta that runs removal that trades favorably into him
Doesn't get bounced by Sunderflock, prowess can't swing into him on the ground, Dimir can't touch him, and everything else has to 2 for 1 themselves
Ygra has been an on/off tech since release basically
You HAVE to have a boardwipe or he's UNKILLABLE
If mono-green sees him they might as well pick up their cards and go home lol
Are you not running [[Firdoc Core]]s?
they tried to pop annex and I defend the ridered it, then drew another 
They gotta hit something in these decks man
Lessons is fine, I think the big issue with prowess is, there’s not a single hit that feels good
I also think rhytmn decks are going way down post SoS
and Jeskai control is going way up
I think the realistic hit is at least stormchasers
Although I know lessons moved away from it
Jeskai Revelation finally doesn't feel like a terrible cope card
But I feel like if nothing else stormchasers needs to go
They'll probably wait to see what happens at the PT next weekend and then go from there
3-0 in locals
Ignore we had 4 ppl

Apparently hitting rev 2 turns in a row with capstone is good or smth
Dude we gotta take Ketramose away from arena players
They didn't scoop until this boardstate, when they were topdecking for 8 turns
I love being in casual commander chats: "My number one commander ban would be Farewell". Bro we cannot be banning a 6 mana sorcery for wiping the board
Unban mana crypt ban farewell
you should counter with "My number one commander ban would be [your commander]"
My number one commander ban would be stock up
Stock up would also be my number 1 ban in standard, pioneer, modern, legacy, and vintage
gg?
My number one commander ban would be every legendary creature and planeswalker and artifact
What site is this from
Ty
Oh wow I didn't realize the boros mobilize deck was actually somewhat meta
I've played vs it, seemed strong, but I didn't see it on mtggoldfish
Reality fracture would be the perfect time for garruk to show up and no diff Jace AND Fraudjani AND oko grudge match for good measure
Word me @sleek ferry @twilit canyon
if the concept art is correct, garruk's showing up to fight alt garruk and someone else (i forgor)
but garruk's grudge match wouldn't be with any of them, he has a grudge solely with liliana 
He has an oko grudge too
If this is real that’s so peak though
Opponent got the most cracked Sealed Pool of all time
What do you think of the sentiment that white emeritus is just better Beza? @twilit canyon
White emeritus probably has broader appeal for tempo decks, while doing nothing vs control ig
yeah what it does vs control is significantly worse than beza
and what it does over beza vs other decks is also not as impressive
both are by all means 4 mana plays but you can end up not being able to use that 4th mana
Yeah of course. It’s hard because I can’t think of another example of instant removal on a body, let alone recurrable instant removal on a body
They took away his abs…
Where is Chandra's nose
You don’t see the angle?
Ugin
Ugin, Oko, Chandra, and The Wandering Emperor (idk if she has a name)
Pretty cute
if we go by maro, the wanderer's name is your name 
wow thanks maro i didn't know i was a woman
The Wanderer has a name but no one is allowed to know it as long as she rules Kamigawa
Wow I thought she was just born and her parents said “your name is wanderer”
Yeah, just how you were born, and your parents named you “Fabulous”
i wish the theory of the wanderer being emrakul trying to emulate a planeswalker was real
Would've been cool
Maybe not the wanderer now but it'd be neat
Hell, there's even card art of Emrakul as an angel
yeah, back when it was war
Why is Emeria on the art of Greater Auramancy?
Why is she on Theros??
This card's art makes no sense
Is it not? It's got the tentacles and wings in her exact style
She even has the hood
This art was totally supposed to be Emeria at some point
Also Theros has no angels, they have Archons instead
Wait she even has the belt buckle
there's still a ton of mysteries about theros, maybe she was in theros at some point on a joyride and saw gods and wanted to harness their power for a bit 
That art is 1000% supposed to be Emeria but it's on Theros for some reason
and the only reason why theros people didn't mutate was because no one believed she existed 
Fun fact from the new Strixhaven novel: Theros (the continent) is the ONLY part of the plane
i wonder what the full plane's name is
Theros
maybe it's the planechase name but i can't remember what it was
Tbf they could believe in a new continent probably
oh the continent and the plane are both theros?
Yup
it's like on earth we have a continent called earth
there aren't any other continents on theros
oh man it'd be so fun to start a cult over a new potential continent
finally, first 7 win in this draft.
i've been liking it so far but having been stuck at 5-6 wins was a bit annoying
Gonna believe in slightly Roman Theros
It's got all slightly different Gods
Heliod is dead? Well Julesvern isn't
There's also the whole thing about Elspeth being the new Sun God which is... Very weird considering she's also her
So Elspeth can meet Theros Elspeth
Mail day @stark skiff
Emrakul pretends to be reality fractured tamiyo but after garruk 1 shots Jace and fixes the universe single-handedly everybody realizes that she’s actually eldrazi
Do you like my headcanon it’s only slightly more fanboyish than the ending of the invasion arc @sleek ferry
How many of these are you buying just to look at bro
50/50 probably
is the aesi for triggering your table
Maybe 
I'm just saying if we actually got an Emeria card the typeline "Legendary Creature - God Eldrazi" would go HARD AS HELL
Breaking typeline conventions btw just to make it more "hidden"
Emrakul chilling in the moon eating chips on the couch feeling reality shift around her: "that fucking jace boy again..."
Reality shifted eldrazi where emrakul was the jobber and Ulamog got trapped in the core of the earth
Reality shifted tibalt where he's competent
Does he actually get a good card this time?
Ohh it'd be cute if his reality shifted card is super high mana cost but crazy and Kaya's is super low mana cost
Fr tho, why is Kaya's gimmick having cards that cost like 13 mana in Orzhov
Pope this is 2026
No planeswalkers are good
Sorry but Delian is broken
Unless you are specifically a rodent wielding mentally handicapped individual
He's an outlier but he's GOOD
Eh I'll believe it when I see it
4 mana destroy target creature or lose one life draw 1 sounds mid to me
Unless you mean plus two into emblem in which case... ehhh
4 mana destroy target creature on a planeswalker is fine
plus 2 into emblem is a win con, which is great because the opponent has to go into the matchup vs lots of removal and they actually have to figure out how to kill fel
delian only takes 2 turns to ult into an actually significant ult
hes genuinely very powerful
maybe the best card in the set without question
I guess I'm just missing the context of what makes the emblem good in standard
gaining life is actually trivial but he'd +2 after to drain 3
he's a self contained win condition that works better with multiples of him
he is his own wincon/clock
you don't need anything else
Won't he be left on 1 after getting the emblem?
yeah but any future delian will pick off where the first left off
yes but unless you're on red it's hard to beat through it and there's always fels 2-4
that or, your gb deck is capable of defending him
Im probably just too used to different standards, been a while since I played
Is standard slow enough to facilitate this rn?
(Last time I played was monstrous rage mouse and slick shot)
it's more of a case that fel's just good as a standalone card since it does everything you want a planeswalker to do, aside from maybe how self-contained his win con is
ral slows down the game drastically too
If bros so good whys he £6
(im trolling on this one)
because money is fake 
The greedy bastard in me tells me that ral is better
Wait are the emeritus memes or not?
I can see the blue one seeing play cause that's "answer me or i outvalue the shit out of you", but the black one has no protection
Your opponent has to throw away a huge amount of tempo to answer him and then they probably just lose to whatever your deck was doing anyways
Or they don’t answer and he just kills you
Some of them are good
Afaik green is the only one that’s actually seen tournament success so far but white is also probably fine
Blue has seen play also but mostly in the side
https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/7748946#paper see now THIS is a deck I can get behind
But this seems pretty shit compared to what you can be doing in golgari lol
Also been seeing a notable amount of lists on tragedy feaster + annex
yep feaster is very good
I mean I think it’s a fine card but more of the power is prob in annex there
But generally a trend w BG post sos is that it forces you to fork your answers and it ends up being impossible to actually deal with everything
At least from my gameplay experiences so far
a 4 mana 7/6 with trample is great on rate and near impossible to answer if you can stick it on board 
I’m not 100% if it would actually see play despite that without annex
i think if there was an easier way to gain life consistently it would still be played if annex wasn't legal
Well yeah that’s a notable if
But it is nice that it synergizes p well with both of your burn conditions
It would be cool if sos led to a big meta shakeup w something like that
bg has not had a large presence in v long
Hasn’t been that long
Wasn’t it rotation last year lol
There were some other cope things between then and now but def not in the same way it was at that point
And, as cool and good as that deck was, it also wasn’t actually super present in the format
Izzet was dog shit in standard pre Vivi, way longer than BG has been unviable
Yeah, I forgot that came first

But, izzet was some cope shit post izzet dragons till exactly then
Regardless i just think it’s annoying when dimir/izzet have both been extremely overbearingly present for over a year straight
I think both are cool color combos just overstayed their welcome
Idk, I like that izzet is doing a bunch of different things, and it’s not all just the same deck
They’re all doing different things but they also all have the same suspects in each idk
Lessons is a much different deck than spellementals which is a much different deck than prowess
Not really?
I think lessons is fine
But between spellementals/prowess/self bounce the gameplay loop gets incredibly tiresome
Also, I think Golgari is just better than Dimir now
Good 
While having a good matchup into it
I would rather see Sultai
Sultai would be cool but really I’m just fucking sick of blue
If I see stock up into stock up resolve one more time I might blow up
Or bant mill would be cool
That was like a half theme in snc wasn’t it
Anyways the actual colors I wanna see make a comeback are abzan and naya…
The reanimation stuff from iko was a really cool direction for abzan
Abzan is playable now imo
Professor does a lot for that color combo
Playable sure but I wish it had better unique tools as an actual color combo
I miss ultimatums 
They cockteased with jeskai rev
I mean we have ultimatum level spells in each wedge 
Do we even
I know we do in the tarkir wedges but idt Alara shards have anything like that
And also there’s still a p big power diff between stuff like jeskai rev and perennation 
tarkir wedges* yeah
not all ultimatums are created equal 
oh wait temur doesn't even have one 
Punishment for genesis being good
Abzan revelation holy
Eww what is that disgusting Aesi
Rest is alright
That’s optimal Aesi kiddo
you cant sit with our pod @atomic harness @knotty ferry @trail anvil
I'm giving you the tataru taru draw
its okay im in boros colors it wont do anythng for me
they said it was in a draft
and ah yes, ||Prowess 2||
Wonder if Teamworks gonna be like convoke
Agent Maria hill looks too good for limited
So does iron man
Those being uncommons is kinda insane
I imagine teamwork will be convoke but for legendary creatures
IE “every legendary creature can tap to play for 1 mana of any color in this creature’s cost”
finally resolved math
[[ygdra eater]]
No card found for “ygdra eater”
Legendary Creature — Elemental Cat
Ward—Sacrifice a Food.
Other creatures are Food artifacts in addition to their other types and have "
,
, Sacrifice this permanent: You gain 3 life."
Whenever a Food is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, put two +1/+1 counters on Ygra.
6/6
well ig i don't have to prepare for her
What's the bottom left card
Abrade
I think Golgari Annex is gonna be VERY real
And imo if you're not running 1-2 ygra you're losing
Card says "target Izzet opponent loses the game"
abrade
Ty
Ty
Holy I'm lagging
Bro I need that Japanese bitter triumph
God the Japanese arts are so sexy
perhaps but i'm playing an izzet variant that doesn't give a fuck about ygra
That's fair. All the standard Izzet variants can't get him off the board
He outgrows Dimir
And Jeskai is kinda the only thing playing boardwipes
In Dimir and the mirror it's also a 2 for 1 to kill him
I think he's uniquely posituined as a vaguely unkillable creature rn
Yeah but that also means you'll never kill him
You can't bounce him without a creature
oh yeah right
Yup, that's why I think he's such a good clock rn
guess i just have to get to lute faster 🤷♂️
do izzet decks not play mistrise?
feel like that would be a simple addition to be able to bounce ygra
non control variants don't
The card shop near my boyfriend's house is selling scalper prices lol
They're selling the Silverquill one at $90???
What does the deck even have? Land tax?
Literally
@stark skiff I think I found my new favorite casual commander
Out of a precon of all places
I’m p sure the main reason silverquill is so popular is just bc it’s the strongest of the precons
At least from what I’ve heard
Shrug I didn’t look too hard at them
The 2 main things I hear is that rootha feels bad and killian feels really good
But yeah [[hazel of the root bloom]] is kinda the goat
Legendary Creature — Squirrel Druid
, Pay 2 life, Tap X untapped tokens you control: Add X mana in any combination of colors.
At the beginning of your end step, create a token that's a copy of target token you control. If that token is a Squirrel, instead create two tokens that are copies of it.
"May all your caches be full."
3/5
Honestly? I feel like Zimone is the best out of the box
The tradeoff is that she's Simic Ramp
The Silverquill one is probably the second best
But it's more interesting and has the politics stuff casual players like
Big fan of the original Beledros Witherbloom thanks to a Secret Santa thing
Lots of places have it for 85. Witherbloom is like 65 and the other 3 are like 45
Rootha feels bad cause the deck is the one that needs the most upgrading out of the box. Her focus is literally on clones and extra combats to OTK somebody. And the deck doesn’t have it
Rootha just feels like her strategy is too over the place
Oh yeah she’s cool. How did you just find out about her lol
I feel like lorehold needs the most upgrades out the box tbh, but it also just has the highest ceiling imo
I’ve been in a precon buying spree lately
Yeah I think the lorehold is the strongest with support
At least Lorehold is playable and the strat is there. I don’t think Rootha has any copiers or extra combats to get more tokens in one turn to kill someone lol
I bought the Terra precon, and holy shit that precon had 0 direction when they made it
Terra is amazing but yeah the precon needs work. Some pieces are there
Tbf, most 3c+ precons they make end up being eh
Creative energy from aetherdrift was ass
Yea but the zombie one was dope
Family matters from Bloomburrow was good
Most people didn’t like him lol
Yeah Hashaton is one of the coolest commanders ever
It’s alright, but we already have the Dimir zombie precon which is also a top 3 precon of all time
I mean cause of Hash not the face commander lol
He’s just okay
Not the greatest for the precon itself but absolutely
A lot like Arthur in Family Matters
Been having a lot more success with celes after I retooled it to be less ad naus focused
Very cool
Arthur is not as good as Hashbrowns but still
Arthur is fun
I opened a borderless Celes out of my commander sample pack
25-3 and into top 10 with my Historic Marauder Living End list! This is definitely the fastest and most consistent proactive build I tried and is surprisingly resilient to hate too. I've done a full in-depth deck guide video with gameplay here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=MACLqytoOjM
︀︀@fireshoes
this is making me want to play living end
seen a couple lists float around now
[[bloodbraid marauder]]
Creature — Human Berserker
This creature can't block.
Delirium — This spell has cascade as long as there are four or more card types among cards in your graveyard. (When you cast this spell, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card that costs less. You may cast it without paying its mana cost. Put the exiled cards on the bottom in a random order.)
3/1
I forgot this existed
there's so much good in the deck
[[incubation]]
Sorcery
Look at the top five cards of your library. You may reveal a creature card from among them and put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
Incongruity 


Instant
Exile target creature. That creature's controller creates a 3/3 green Frog Lizard creature token.
is it playing this just because it's an instant and sorcery for delirium???
you can still play violent outburst too because it just turns into bloodbraid which can then get you LE
yeah but it's the same as malevolent rumble in a way
you just want to dig for your dudes to bin them
and cache grab
you actually have some gameplay that isn't just outburst into win
Just lost a game where the Jeskai control player was topdecking. They topdecked flow state into req raid and Jeskai rev. Must be nice 🙂
Not sure what to play in the new Standard meta?
︀︀I GOT YOU!

What is this clown car sorting
was about to ping thugs for this until I realized he sent it
wait why is one aang just randomly in a different row lmao, usually this site's sorting is whack but cake is right, this is fucked
That’s manual sorting pretty sure
You know how people sort their ygo lists like they’re playing Tetris?
This is the same thing
so many of her decisions are so questionable 😭 you got multiple 3-ofs to stick the 1-ofs with, why is high noon randomly grouped with the creatures, etc
i have a question for y'all
do you think that [[warden of the first tree]] looks like vinny vinesauce
Who
no that's an unrelated guy
does he make pasta sauces? is that how he got his name?
no he got his name from something to do with mario party iirc
he did eventually make a sauce but that was after he got his name
what does a vine sauce taste like?
it's tangy according to the website
no
Vinesauce is the professional name of American live streamer and YouTuber Vincent (born May 12, 1985), also known online as "Vinny Vinesauce". Vinny originally founded Vinesauce in 2010 as a streaming collective of content creators, which gradually became inactive since the late 2010s. The former lineup of the collective comprised Vincent, Darre...
bro just made up a person and wrote a wiki article on him
I wasn't aware that you could extract sauce from the platform vine
Is there a guaranteed silver scroll in each Strixhaven collectors booster?
No lol
It’s around 2 silver scrolls per collector box
Gotcha
Bought the only collector booster my GameStop had and got a silver scroll burst lightning
That’s a good hit
Yeah but in general silver scrolls will always be worth something is what I’m saying
Which ones did you get for JP?
Trying my hardest to remember a black card that has suspend 3 for 2BB
[[living end]] no?
Yeah, it's living end
Sounds right yeah
Breaking even on collectors boosters is surprisingly unlikely
I will say tho, Silver Scrolls look really good in person
For SoS 110%. This set is super high roll
In general collectors boosters are p high roll
But SoS is HUGELY high roll
White man uncanny valley effect
Here are my guesses for Universes Beyond sets being announced at MagicCon Vegas:
Marvel 3 will be X-Men
Simpsons
Nicktoons (inc Danny Phantom)
What IPs do you think we're going to be smothered with in 2027?
X-men makes a lot of sense actually
lacks a weeb ub...
i feel like we're gonna see something more anime-esque than danny phantom
i'd put avatar as weeb-ish
American weebs…
oh final fantasy too
Fuck it, give us demon slayer
i don't think jjk has enough to work with for a whole set
i think if we get an anime set it'll probably be like
naruto or something
jjk may not have enough to work with for a whole set but i don't think that's a big issue for them
anyways my bet for ub is dark souls or elden ring
Sekiro fills the weeb slot
sekiro would fill the greatest set of all time slot actually
So true until they print dnd 2 set
I traded in a very rare skylander and managed to afford not only Megaman Starforce Collection, but ALSO the Terra MTG Precon!
what skylander
Wildstorm
ahhh
I honestly don't know of too many anime series who's world is big enough to support a whole set
Its mainly just the long shounen series
FMA, DB, Fairy Tail, Naruto, One piece
I think a lot of anime series would benefit just from a small aftermath-like set
Yeah, if they aren't just lairs you need a lot to make a full set work
Like the ones I listed above work as full sets but thats mainly because they've been around as series so long
Except fma that one is just cause its built different
My only issue is like if we're making full sets you run into making the same character like 4 different times
Like I'm pretty sure those above can fill 130 creature slots but if you asked me what I think demon slayer or jjk could do to pad their lists other than duplicates I wouldn't know what to tell you
The issue with doing dark souls is the colour pie is heavily tilted, white and green are scarce and red and black are abundant
me when the only blue card is an illusory wall
Nah lot of sorcerers for blue
nahh we can easily fit blue
Like my man big hat logan
seath is a blue-adjacent card too
Sorry I mean Big Hat ""Big Hat"" Logan
His lore is
He is called big hat
Because he has a big hat
big "big hat" hat "hat logan" logan
lots of blue we can find in the series as a whole tho
i think white and green wouldnt be terribly difficult to add too
tho we'd probs need ds1 -> 3 for this
I'm trying to think who falls into white in the games lore without resorting to giving it to all the protagonists. The maidens? Solaire and Sif? Could pad with some miracle mages like the creepo twins
the way of white... even if its not "really" white
but also, oscar would also be white
solaire yeah... sif yeah...
i think u could easily put pontiff sulyvahn as white/x
esper or mardu creature
Pontiff would have to have an ability that just makes another one of them, that'd be rad
etb make a copy named differently with his same stat line
The BJB having partner would be cool
yo also
they could do some fun mechanics with coming back to life
like a fixed/new regenerate
Could also have some flips into hollow versions if you don't have humanity/effigies/embers
true
could be mdfcs that flip into the other too
ie: on your upkeep, remove an ember/humanity/effigy counter, at 0, transform
flipside: at end step, if you did x, gain an ember/humanity/effigy counter. at y, transform
Have a cheap low mana sif with it getting a lot stronger if you have artorius in the grave and it gains defender
Let's cast Naruto together @fallow citrus
sorry I'm casting sasuke
Implementing everyone’s favorite souls mechanic weapon durability
Every card just has fading

You know I’m shocked they never tried to do fading again
i'm not
they don't do downside keywords anymore
blight is a cost, not a downside
Or turning it into an upside
A huge subtheme in lorwyn is entering with -1/-1 counters
Anyways considering they tried to fix a ton of old mechanics I’m just surprised they never tried it w that one
Creature — Whale
Vanishing 2 (This creature enters with two time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter from it. When the last is removed, sacrifice it.)
Whenever a player casts their second spell each turn, proliferate. (Choose any number of permanents and/or players, then give each another counter of each kind already there.)
7/5

1 of 100000000000 cards
also it's a mh card, not a new mechanic 
bro we should get a magic pokemon set
we should
when are we getting a UB Magic the Gathering set
See I expected more of an effort to do stuff like this
Or vanishing stuff with etb and exit triggers
i wish they made a card with just devour and modular
We just got a mat where mtg characters play mtg does that count
emeritus of woe is not good but man she's kinda serving
[[emeritus of woe]]
Creature — Vampire Warlock
This creature enters prepared. (While it's prepared, you may cast a copy of its spell. Doing so unprepares it.)
At the beginning of your end step, if two or more creatures died this turn, this creature becomes prepared.
5/4
Demonic Tutor 

Sorcery
Search your library for a card, put that card into your hand, then shuffle.
in any case, the new golgari cauldron is fucking bonkers in limited
best card in my deck by far
no other synergy needed. card's cracked
speaking of golgari
the 4 mana demon is cute in mono black
cause he's big and you proc infusion with annex
i think it would work the same in golgari
oh yeah i've seen it in limited and it seems like a cute interaction
i feel like the only issue is u want to have more than just the guy
i can tell you it was annoying to out as izzet 
if it wasn't off capstone it would have been a 4 for 1
hmmm
cornucopia, delian, annex...
the demon guy...
theres probably a deck there
$20 rare in the future btw, I recommend buying a few copies if you care about that type of stuff
It’s the perfect Timmy card
While also being fringe playable
u might be right
idt its fringe playable
but i do see how it can easily become a hyped commander card
i fucking hope so cause i pulled a foil one in prerelease
I play it in my casual commander deck, and it’s pretty bonkers there, that’s what I meant about fringe playable
The fact that it’s a sac outlet + wincon enabler is pretty nice
Emeritus of woe is the most expensive regular treatment from the set btw
The green paradigm is the most expensive paradigm
Erode is the most expensive rare in the set
Followed by flashback
No surprises there
i pulled 3 flashback lmao
that's a flashback to back to back
That’s like so much of why I want to play her
She’s so hot
Feaster annex is becoming a more common package in performing golgari lists as finisher of choice

good i need to sell one
I’ve been seeing a trend of BG lists becoming consistently slower
I pulled him last locals
Only been a week but still
oh wait
Oh my days that one is hot
wouldnt be surprised if the cards end up becoming meta in golgari midrange if golgari ends up being a real deck
mostly cus theres already some strong life gain cards you want to run
Its def the best new deck out of sos
I pulled so much golgari shit
When I was laddering I saw someone play the 2 mana look at top 5 from sos and they actually used the draw 2 mode a pretty decent amount
I wish dinas guidance was better it’s such a cool card
same
Witherbloom is the 3rd most expensive regular treatment in the set
And will only go up because it’s the ultimate Timmy card
Btw @atomic harness did you see the boys talk about SoS yet?
Yeah
They sold me on Silverquill as CEDH viable
good. let the commander kiddos drive up the price of a useless real card in the standard meta
i pulled him too 
I mean yeah, commander kiddos saved magic by making bulk mythics/rares with something
I told you he was great
I still think he’s great in 60 card formats also
yea that card is probably enough for modern mill even if the deck isnt gonna suddenly become viable
Simic/Temur mill is close to being something in standard
They legitly just need a mill planeswalker in the meta
My current theory of Secrets of Strixhaven draft is that it's basically the same at TMNT, except with spells instead of pizzas.
This is facts
lmfao
i mean
ehhh
i disagree
there are definitely big differences in format feel
It’s not a good limited format at all
It’s not as bad as Lorwyn
But
Tmnt was probably a better limited format high key
People just hate on tmnt because it was a UB set + a small set
idk sos sealed was a banger for me
i dont think its the best limited format but its fine
Prerelease is always a banger, but that’s not the format as a whole
i think tmnt is fine too tbf
Yea I was gonna buy one but then I saw the prices and cancelled that shit
X-Men is obvious with the return to MCU and the such. I’m expecting a Power Rangers UB
Starforce is the shit. Good job
I would actually be so down for a power rangers UB
Is modern masters just old modern horizons
its a reprint set
not printing new cards to any format
just reprinting old desired cards
Oh ok
There’s also non modern masters sets
Pioneer masters double masters commander masters
Pioneer masters?
are there any apps for goldfishing that don't suck ass or require constant internet
sadly not
I think that one’s arena only
It is actually
Unfort
I just remembered that the origins Liliana was in it
Sigh not a real set
Cut me a break holy
Can’t cut you a break when you’re not clocked in
And that’s a bar like your employment
Looks like [[Manhole Missile]]'s art was AI or at least ai assisted
Subreddit banned the guy lol, but they left the post up. It could go either way, but that text is sketch
Sometimes I wonder if there’s somebody that looks through every art so they can be like “gotcha, this is AI”
It’s such a weird thing to micro analyze unless it’s blatantly obvious tbh
Am I AI?
You talk like it yeah
These are the indicators of AI — being robotic but not too robotic, AI is machinery but not a robot

Yeah I dunno if people just scrutinize every card or whatever
But this one definitely has some of the indicators (that text)
hmm lesson decks have recently pivoted back to stormchasers
make up your minds lol 
going around witch hunting like this doesn't help artists
the artist who drew this card has done more than 70 other pieces for mtg with no indication that any of those are ai so everything points to this not being ai
Yeah true. I just saw the reddit post and there's definitely a decent argument considering that text

idk like who does this help
the person who wants to be angry
Some people just have nothing they can put their life to and so need something to provide something to their purposeless lives
[[moseo vein’s new dean]]
Legendary Creature — Bird Skeleton Warlock
Flying
When Moseo enters, create a 1/1 black and green Pest creature token with "Whenever this token attacks, you gain 1 life."
Infusion — At the beginning of your end step, if you gained life this turn, return up to one target creature card with mana value X or less from your graveyard to the battlefield, where X is the amount of life you gained this turn.
2/1
Mr Bones!
[[Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar]]
Legendary Creature — Human Wizard
As long as you've discarded a card this turn, you may pay
to cast this spell.
When Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar enters, you may search your library for a card named The Underworld Cookbook, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.
Sacrifice two Foods: Target creature deals 6 damage to itself.
3/3
wtf is this name
it's peak magic
it's from the flavor text of [[granite gargoyle]]
all the way back in the very first set
ok but what does the name mean
is it just a random assortment of letters or something in some language or some code words or what
it's just a really long name they made up as a joke because they thought it would be funny for a flavor text character to have a really long name
interesting...
do you think Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar resembles vinny vsauce?
no bulli
yeah?
wtf y0ou guys were talking aobut it like its duelingbook
mtgo just looks like excel that's it
dude
i wanted to try modern after watchign some vids online
so i downloaded mtgo
apparently you have to actually spend money
to rent cards or soem shit
from bots
...
THEY COULD LITERALLY JUST PUT THIS SHIT IN ARENA
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM
you either buy tix to buy the cards or use a card rental service yeah
sadly the only good way to competitively test multiple decks unless you have a testing circle
because of how many mtgo leagues and challenges happen
mtgo is built on spaghetti code
it would take a very long time to port over stuff from mtgo so they just didn't for the most part
there's a backlog of like 20k cards and the rules engine is significantly more complicated than yugioh's so they wouldn't be able to make it work like how master duel did
no i mean
why cant they just have modern in arena
they said it would take too long to implement all the cards
arent all the cards already in arena
no, there's like 15 years of cards they'd need to put in
thats crazy i thought timeless/historic already had all that shit
timeless and historic just have all the cards that are on arena
I was clocked in when u sent this btw
Iirc it actually means something as a Latin transliteration but it’s not an actual word lol
yea p sure they are both missing a massive amount of the card pool even now
Welp I just had a vintage game where the play pattern was cedh-like 
Win attempt on top of win attempt on top of win attempt 
I mean
What did you expect from vintage
Slow interactive gameplay??
Pretty sure that there’s a semi common sentiment that duel commander is as close as you can get to vintage
Well when decks become heavy in counter wars you do get slow interactive gameplay
That’s pretty common in legacy also 
I wish more people played $20 vintage but price related formats are always tricky
Does this not also occur in cedh 
Yes, a slow interactive format 

Unless the table decides to all play parasitic decks for some reason
But yes it’s a fairly slow, very interactive format 
Going card for card, interaction for interaction against rhystic slop as Mardu feels good 
||no it doesn’t, ban rhystic and make my deck peak||
I unironically saw somebody ask for a llanowar elves ban lol
you know what
fuck that guy
ban elf
i have no argument besides pure hatred for green
i could see elf eventually becoming a problem but it's fine in the current standard environment
ye he's fine i just hate him
Elf is definitely a card that's too strong to be in standard a lot of the time
Rn this standard as a whole is too high powered, so he's fine
But he shouldn't have been in foundations
Imo Elf, Omniscience, and the Wrath shouldn't have been put in foundations
Had my first couple of cEDH games and had a great time
Played Etali and even managed to get the turn 2 setup
Good job kuri
Glad you enjoyed it
e🅱️ali 🏀
What's the wrath
Cedh is legitimately fun 
Tournaments are whack but offer a very different gameplay experience that’s pretty interesting
[[day of judgement]]
Boardwipes that just kill everything in mtg are normally called wraths because of wrath of god
My favorite thing to do on celes is to point out the turbo deck in the table and egg the blue players to mulligan hard for interaction 
Meanwhile in my hand: silence squelcher mana rocks + combo
Parasitic decks are fun to play but never to play against
Ok let's say hypothetically I wanted to play commander
There are diff brackets right
So if I go to a commander night, do I just ask people what bracket they're playing?
Depends on the store
But usually yes
If the store has enough people and tech (it’s just a spreadsheet let’s be honest) they’ll get the brackets of each deck and group them by bracket as much as possible
People usually play bracket 3 which is like precon level
Nah, have you seen the way some people build their decks? They make precons look like bracket 3
Ok so in theory I could just grab a precon and start playing?
Yeah, that’s the best way to start tbh
If you want some precon recommendations, I’d be glad to give you one, though I feel like I know which one you would buy first already
I’ve seen people build decks they are serious about that make precons look like 5s 
Which one
The ff7 one
But the FF7 one is a specific playstyle not everybody enjoys
But it is the best out the box precon out of all the FF precons
It probably goes FF7 > FFX = FFXIV >>>>>>>>>> FF6
Yeah
The Terra one is not well built at all out the box ngl
It needs a lot of upgrades
It has 2 clashing playstyles
It's like a reanimator deck right
Yes, but Terra cares about creatures with power 3 or less
Wait that's crazy, every card in here is from final fantasy 6
Yet for some reason the deck had a bunch of big guys
Yes all the precons have unique arts
Specific to the game they’re from
Even the reprints are all unique arts
That's sick wtf
https://www.reddit.com/r/MagicArena/s/hHM2IsSFto the mtga team is unionizing 
based
Yeah they do this for all UB precons. Warhammer, Doctor Who, TMNT and fallout all have unique arts as well
I kinda wanna play a deck with the other terra, but for now I'll get the ffx deck
Also holy shit there are so many sick final fantasy art sleeves
BRO HOW CAN YOU HATE UB
If I spend too much time on ultra pro dot com I think my bank account will be empty
The Tifa Secret Rendezvous had me conflicted on which art to use, it's so good.
Wait can I play anything in commander
Is the card pool same as like legacy or vintage?
Can I play black lotus?
there's a banlist
Banlist my guy
black lotus is on it
????
: This artifact becomes a 4/4 artifact creature until end of turn.
: This creature becomes a Human Warrior with base power and toughness 3/3.

: This creature gets +0/+1 until end of turn.
