SilvosRogueElemental posted a message on Full art Basics from Unsanctioned

I like the homage to the Unglued lands, but I’m really not liking the art on these at all. They look sort of unfinished or unpolished.

Suddenly the Ravnica bounce lands don’t seem so useless. Getting 6 mana makes the bounce worth it.

This card is stupid. And I don’t mean that in a good way.

2 mana (one being generic) for a 2/3 is good enough. Then you give it a static ability, a crazy good one.

Then you give it a 4 mana effect as strong as that? I hate it.

I have decks I should run this in and I don’t think I will just on principle.

Do you refuse to use all good cards or just pick and choose arbitrarily?

i usually choose not to use blatantly obvious pushed cards that require zero thought to be successful with. I like synergy cards much more than dumb cards like this.

I play Commander casually and thus am afforded that option to choose arbitrarily as you think it is.

It is arbitrary. Most of the best cards in the game are just good cards that can slot into many or most decks without specific synergy. It’s always been that way. Black Lotus doesn’t synergize with anything specifically, it synergizes with everything.

A 2 mana 2/3 is not good enough for standard.
Right, I have never seen someone cast a Gifted Aetherborn or a Sylvan Advocate ...

Both of those have excellent abilities. They’re not vanilla 2/3 creatures for 2 cmc.
This is still at the very least a sideboard option for Fires of Invention decks that dodges a considerable amount of 1 and 2 mana removal and ensures it hits the battlefield.

I don’t think you understand the argument happening here. One guy said that a 2/3 for 2 is good enough and shouldn’t have abilities. Another guy said a 2/3 for 2 is not good enough for standard without abilities. You agree with the second guy.

Pretty much every Enchantress EDH deck is going to want this immediately.

Agreed. This set has a a lot of interesting and good cards for enchantress EDH decks. I'm trying to figure out what cards I need to remove from my EDH deck to make room.

Same. I have such a hard time cutting cards from my Bant enchantment deck. Trying to balance outright value and explicit win conditions in a deck that allows you to play slow and then make huge plays out of nowhere is tough.

Very interesting. Not sure if it’s any good though.

Dude, what are you doing? We’re in the middle of spoiler season and you clutter up page 1 with an entirely pointless necro?

I really don’t understand why it only gives 1 creature a counter instead of all of your creatures. This is not a mythic Mythic. Do they actually want White to be the worst color in Magic? They could do so many little things to make White more viable but they consistently choose not to.

Well that’s... weird. Treating the tentacles like independent creatures is pretty inelegant. And a giant kraken starting as 2/3 is wonky.

Quote from Flamebuster »
I laughed at Tiro because I pictured him saying "No lore no Brawl" like Homer Simpson did in that one episode:

"No lore and no brawl makes Tiro something something."

I take it you’ve never seen ‘The Shining’?

That owl symbol looks terrible. And owls are actually quite dumb by bird standards, so it’s a weird choice. A crow or raven would have been a more sensible and cooler looking choice.

What a silly thing. They just arbitrarily picked a starting point instead of applying an ounce of logic for the format.

Any set you choose to be the start date is entirely arbitrary.

Only if you consider the starting point of Modern to be entirely arbitrary as well.
