Reliquary Tower, Guttersnipe, new blue mythic, othersI'm pretty sure Scrapheap Scrounger gives you two bats every time you bring it back, since the creature you exiled and the Scrounger leave the battlefield at separate times!Posted in: The Rumor Mill

I like the way this is going. Gotta buy me some new tokens:

Diarmuid posted a message on Very Cryptic CommandYeah, that's weird.Posted in: The Rumor Mill
They should have gone with stuff like
- Counter target spell that targets a target target player doesn't control
- Untap all tapped creatures target player controls then tap all untapped creatures target player doesn't control
and so on.
That would have been Very Cryptic Command

MercurialMemory posted a message on Storm the Vault//Vault of CatlacanPosted in: The Rumor MillQuote from orlouge82 »Quote from PhroX »Well, you can't get the land untapped T1 with 4-5 other artifacts, so it's not quite as good as it's illustrious ancestor, but it still looks like a solid card.
Oh sure you can:
T1: Mox Ruby, Mox Sapphire, Mana Crypt, Mana Vault, Ornithopter, cast this card, flip end of turn
And you follow it up by countering their T1 with a Spell Swindle. Its about sending a message. -

PhroX posted a message on Mothership spoilers 11-17 Modular MonstrosityA friend of mine pointed out that you can get some interesting effects from the more odd Cumulative Upkeep cards. Thinks like "cumulative upkeep: draw a card" or "cumulative upkeep: Gain control of a land you don't control"Posted in: The Rumor Mill -

Kruphix7 posted a message on Ixalan General DiscussionAssuming the eternal sun can be used to exit the plane (which I am since im pretty sure thats how Jace and maybe Vraska will get away) Ugin used that to leave after he retrieved it from Elenda. Agreed that Angrath isnt an old walker. If my theory is right (which again it’s very unlikely) i would guess Angrath to be just one of the latest in a long line of dupes.Posted in: Magic Storyline
I agree though that i think he will probably just be a free agent and my whole idea holds no water -

Hawk7915 posted a message on Ixalan General DiscussionThe flats thing stood out as odd, but I'm going to take it as the writer being annoyed at female characters wearing impractical heels while dealing with dinosaurs or dragons (see: Jurassic World). Definitely also an attempt to both humanize Vraska and underscore one of her primary traits - she is a pragmatist and a survivor.Posted in: Magic Storyline
I enjoyed this story. Jace and Vraska DO make a good team, and since the chances of Jace table-flipping and quitting the Gatewatch when he gets his memory back are close to zero I hope instead Vraska joins on. She's a much more fun Black-aligned 'walker than Liliana and seems a more likely bet for long-term teammwork since she does have at least some amount of morality (granted "I only kill if there's money involved, or I'm threatened, or the other person is someone I deem pretty evil" is not a great moral compass). -

Onering posted a message on Ixalan General DiscussionTo veer away from people complaining irrationally about women, I want to focus a bit on why Vraska hates Jarad so much.Posted in: Magic Storyline
Is Jarad really that bad? Has he changed that much since Ravnica block? Judging by how the Golgari are presented, it doesn't seem so. There's a reason the current structure is in place: the terratogens sucked at running the guild. They constantly engaged in petty fights for territory that kept the guild weak and chaotic. Jarad has done a better job at keeping the other guilds from muscling in on Golgari territory while keeping it open to the downtrodden. Is it really reasonable for the Kraul to expect to just show up and be given leadership positions without working up through the ranks first? Did Vraska really expect Jarad to try to annihilate the Azorious? She seems incredibly naive. I actually like that wrinkle in her character though. She is defined by wanting to be more than her nature and has a caring streak about her. I find it odd that a GB character wants to be a champion of the downtrodden though, as GB is really about earning your place. The Golgari don't open their doors wide out of the goodness of their hearts, but because they have a prove it mentality that is open to giving anyone a chance but expecting them to earn their place. They let anyone join, but you aren't guaranteed anything beyond what you can accomplish, they just don't artificially hold you back. Vraska seems to want to stand for the weak and forsaken. Will she find herself in a third color at some point, or are we exploring a unique mixture of black individuality and green communitarianism, resulting in a character that values her individuality and self determination, and wants others to have the same?
Also, the flats thing is fine. She's Ravnican. That plane has always been pretty modern, and it's characters have always been the most similar to modern people. They drink coffee, hang out in trendy bars and clubs, have indoor plumbing, etc. The first Ravnica novel was about a beat cop on the verge of retirement getting into the biggest case of his life. The whole plane is full of tropes for a contemporary setting given a fantasy veneer. -

Etherium Sage posted a message on Ixalan General DiscussionTo me, Bolas's ability to grant knowledge mechanically would be like Stroke of Genius targeting the opponent. I'm pretty certain, based on the physical effects on Vraska, that Bolas can straight up make someone catatonic if he crams enough knowledge into their cranium.Posted in: Magic Storyline - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.
