wonder how Commander Tax would factor into that

it'd reduce the colorless cost

#

Going back to the earlier conversation, hearthstones cards are balanced around board clear being cheap and accessible with most cards giving some bonus other card on play... except this format for whatever reason they only gave like 1 class early board clear and that class is bad, so now we're in curvestone where if you miss your curve (3 card hand size going first) you are screwed

Why the fuck does [[Wandering Minstrel]] supercede [[Archon of Emeria]]?

heroes in a half shell originally was gonna be eminence, but they figured there is too much good ninjas that it would end up as second ur dragon

Vigilance, menace, trample, haste
Whenever one or more Mutants, Ninjas, and/or Turtles you control deal combat damage to a player, put a +1/+1 counter on each of those creatures and draw a card.
They're the world's most fearsome fighting team!

The restrictions on these shits just keep getting lighter lol

I mean, controlling a basic land is a more real restriction than controlling a swamp

subtle sierra

so star trek is prob getting the non allied ones?

zinc shard

since fracture should get allied slow lands

hidden ermine

I guess they didn't want to make it just heroes but

golden plover

#

If youā€™re playing Boros or in Boros colors you are most definitely worthy

#

Boros is the 2nd most based color combination

#

Right behind Mardu

golden plover
#

But in contrast, 5c definitely isn't worthy

golden plover
zinc shard

You're correct

For a grand total of... 9 mana you can give Thor his hammer

The worthy requirement on mjolnier is funny af

golden plover

This is probably okay

lusty trench
#

Sauron is my favourite worthy person

lusty trench
# golden plover

Seems fine? Bit win more on the reverse side but could be a decent weenie payoff

golden plover
#

Yeah true

#

I don't think it's good

#

Weird at mythic

golden plover
#

Lmao they hit him with the really bad stick

tardy echo
#

Elesh norn would no diff Thor if the stats are to be believed

#

So she would definitely be worthy of the hammer

golden plover
#

What the hell is that random ass restriction

lusty trench
#

Unless its like really old comic thor

tardy echo
#

She would make it a stat check and pass it

#

gg

tardy echo
lusty trench
#

Tbf she probably could get jin gitaxias to do some weird phyresis on it

golden plover
#

They're so afraid of people taking infinite extra turns to win the game

lusty trench
#

12 mana take an extra turn šŸ’€

golden plover
#

But if you demonstrate you've got 3000 extra turns who gives an shit

tardy echo
lusty trench
#

Oh that's how power up works yeah

#

Hang on a moment

tardy echo
#

I mean also for the record look at the long extensive list of creatures that allow you to take extra turns vro

#

Itā€™s not a very explored design space and I think they intend to keep it that way

lusty trench
#

Thats one more than alrunds rate

#

I guess its repeatable though

sleek ferry
tardy echo
#

One more mana for a 5/6 flier instead of 2 1/1s

#

Itā€™s not repeatable

#

Power ups are exhaust

lusty trench
#

Ah

golden plover
lusty trench
#

Yeah this is prolly fine then

sleek ferry
#

I was talking about alrundā€™s icant

golden plover
#

It's straight up one of the best extra turn spells and it was pushed as shit to sell boxes

copper pecan
lusty trench
#

Depends how fast the format is

subtle sierra
#

it's fast

golden plover
#

Oh Alrunds was fine. It probably wouldn't be good enough nowadays

lusty trench
#

Cards bad then

subtle sierra
#

so generally speaking this is standard unplayable

tardy echo
#

Of all the things to complain about ā€œwotc doesnā€™t want you to take infinite turnsā€ is a crazy one I canā€™t lie

copper pecan
subtle sierra
#

but not all cards have to be

golden plover
#

I mean there's plenty of ways to do it

#

It's just funny how much they don't like you doing it now

golden plover
#

It's worse faerie mastermind most of the time

twilit canyon
golden plover
#

It does draw off yourself which is notable

#

But I can't imagine it'd find too many homes

lusty trench
#

I was about to say surely you play the fae from eldraine over him

#

Cause the draw potential is higher there

golden plover
#

Faerie Mastermind is from MOM, but yeah

lusty trench
#

I mean the UB legend

golden plover
#

I can't imagine a time I'd want this over faerie mastermind outside of like Sisay

lusty trench
#

Or is that higher cost I cant remember

sleek ferry
#

Tellion?

#

Heā€™s 4 mana

lusty trench
#

Thats the one

#

Ahhhh

sleek ferry
#

Heā€™s 4 pips also iirc

golden plover
#

But again, this is competing with a 2 mana card with flash and flying that can enable itself as a mana outlet

tardy echo
#

Talion is a really weird card and also not flash is it

twilit canyon
#

being able to play the flipside in stax games is backbreaking

tardy echo
golden plover
#

Is it? I can't imagine the backside is resolving realistically

zinc shard
golden plover
#

I can't see it being played in place of mastermind

zinc shard
#

this seems nuts

You donā€™t, you could justify playing it alongside though, or in the command zone

#

Did i miss some second video

#

Cause i can't find these

zinc shard
#

naw, previews have started

#

I use MythicSpoiler to find them all

sleek ferry
#

The issue is, they keep giving artifacts great enchantments (like does machines) for a deck that only has so many non artifact slots

twilit canyon
#

they arent even that great enchantments

#

its really only weapons manufacturing thats worth anything

#

well... urza's saga but that doesnt really count

I read elektraā€™s flavor text as ā€œI am elektra nachosā€ icant

trail anvil
glad peak
#

Black panther is likely a sisay support card and has a decent stax backside

trail anvil
glad peak
#

Problem is that mastermind isnt used for the draw every 2 cards line as much anymore, any deck that plays mastermind for that reason already cut mastermind

lusty trench
glad peak
#

Mastermind nowadays does have that mode when youā€™re nowhere near winning but really wants to be used to win the game after you brain freeze everyone

lusty trench

This feels like a worse ravenous chewbacabra

It's weird seeing who is a rare/mythic and who is just a random uncommon here

I mean, fantastic four are def uncommon worthy

#

Theyā€™re B-C tier heroes

trail anvil

reed sounds like he's gonna go nuts in limited

#

2/4 with reach at uncommon that should draw a ton

Damn, calling the fantastic four B-C tier heroes but iron man is A tier makes me feel old nukgar

sleek ferry

Scarlet witch is just a straight buff to Jeskai

#

wtf are we doing

glad peak
#

The ten rings works in opposition to the one ring clearly

trail anvil
#

I wonder if playtest versions were 10 mana

golden plover
#

Well the one ring is one of the greatest cards ever printed

#

But if you get 10 of them, it's dogshit apparently

trail anvil
#

like sure she discounts revelation but she seems identical in function to lute and tablet and both have upsides over her

golden plover
#

Clearly the more rings you have the worse it is

glad peak
#

Nah the ten rings is decent in Magda

#

Thereā€™s enough situations where the one ring doesnā€™t do enough but you donā€™t want to get anything else since if you do then you canā€™t win

#

Gonna be funny to see a lot of Kangs on the cards (there's already 3) considering they had big MCU plans for him and then...

#

I know Kang is a decently popular comics villain too but they absolutely were planning on more cross synergy

tardy echo
#

Boros prowess is kind of a weird archetype to build on icl

#

But glad that connive is actually a mechanic again

golden plover
#

I'm glad it's not just standard boros aggro

tardy echo
#

Very slightly different boros aggro icant

golden plover
#

But I can't say I'm convinced prowess will feel that good in limited

past socket
#

Pauline Voss did a great job with the art for Madame Hydra

golden plover
#

It'll almost certainly have the bloomburrow otter problem then?

#

Unless the baseline creatures are just good enough

tardy echo
#

Also not sure what the golgari archetype is supposed to be

#

Sacrifice and threshold? The two things it gets like every other set??

golden plover
#

Golgari things it already does

#

But yeah, if Bloomburrow is any indication, Boros should be your last pick

#

It'll probably be better than otters because the bodies are better

#

But not by much

sleek ferry
#

Very good 1 mana removal for prerelease

golden plover
#

Kang #4

#

Yeah they were totally planning to do MCU cross synergy lmao

#

Wait why the fuck does Lady Loki take your first spell to do the thing lmao

hidden ermine
#

Because its like Tibalts Trickery

hidden ermine
golden plover
#

I mean, Killmonger is his MCU design

hidden ermine
#

The finalised set design would be like 1-1.5 years before release

golden plover
#

Yeah that would've been the timeline it's too late to cut the Kang stuff

hidden ermine
#

Majors being dropped was 2.5 years, the assault story being 3 years

#

They would've had more than enough time to cut him

golden plover
#

I thought that set design was about 2 years ahead so they would've had to change a bunch of cards and art presumably in less than 5 months

#

Not impossible, but not super likely either. And while Kang is a big enough character to get some cards, it seems odd he'd have 4 already

#

Also depends on when the contract was signed

#

It's possible marvel signed the contract earlier and included a clause about Kang needing to get a bunch of cards

hidden ermine
#

I doubt they would stipulate something that specific in an early contract

#

And nah set design is usually 1.5 years ahead

tardy echo
#

I think they just really like him idk

#

More Kangs than dr dooms so far is very funny but Iā€™d have to assume that changes

hidden ermine
#

Almost certainly

#

My guess is they use Kang becuase he's basically the time-travel villain

#

And I'm guessing they're saving the Dooms for closer to release

golden plover
#

Blue Sheltered by Ghosts??

hidden ermine
#

This is just flavour bent version of a mind control enchantment

#

To fit the whole "kidnap and replace" thing Secret Invasion was about

golden plover
#

True, but it's cheaper and kinda plays a bit closer to SBG

#

Gonna be busted in limited

hey she loses all perpetual abilities in alchemy so she's worse

Lol true, niche edge case where she's actually worse

Well I guess she's got 1 more toughness so surely that's a rare

#

Oh no the spider people are back

copper pecan
# golden plover

they probably just didn't want this to combo with -1/-1 counter stuff

so I can played allied canopies in pioneer

canopies are secretly the strongest dual lands in the game in the absence of fetchlands

I wouldnā€™t call it a secret but I also wouldnā€™t put it past them to just put it into commander decks and nowhere else

vivid hatch
#

On gut

glad peak
#

We also know most magic players arenā€™t really great at card evaluation

#

But also Iā€™m just talking about pioneer, any other format if fetches were banned? True duals still take the cake

vivid hatch
#

Especially for low to the ground decks

glad peak
#

In low to the ground games having a canopy land is a direct disadvantage to having true dual land, in those matchups single life totals mean a lot
