Sephon19 posted a message on The World of KamigawaPosted in: ArticlesQuote from silasary »The team at the time thought that if they were to print O-Kagachi, they'd need to do so before That Which Was Taken was taken. And O-Kagachi with his Divinity intact would indeed be too powerful.
When the Commander team returned to the character, they had a lot more freedom as to portrayal and timelines, and so chose to portray O-Kagachi after That Which Was Taken was taken.
Hence the 6/6.
I've heard this argument before and it just doesn't hold. The thing is the size of Progenitus - a creature that could arguably be smaller in P/T due to its ability. Why can i tbe taken down by a random Spider? I understand that Magic power scale is somewhat weird sometimes for gameplay reasons, but you just shouldn't make a world-sized creature at 6/6. Especially in a world they cannot retcon at this point, unlike Sergovia. -

Sephon19 posted a message on High Stakes Magic - A New Way to PlayOk, I think I'm going to start out with 100 cards, percentages are easier to work with that way. I'm going to do a theme of Zombies, Spirits and Infect. Death and decay.Posted in: Articles
Have you tried any of the Theros block hero cards or any utility lands? I'm personally going to use a lot of cards with activation costs so lands are actually possibly usable here. Using a mix of Zendikar block spell lands and a Leechridden Swamp.
Also interesting to see "colors matter" cards, such as normal slam dunks such as creatures with protection or intimidate. When all colors are readily available, it's much easier to answer a White Knight than if you were a normal black deck. -

Sephon19 posted a message on High Stakes Magic - A New Way to PlayHave you found an optimal auction block deck size?Posted in: Articles
I'm personally going to make a Peasant auction block and call this format High Market (referring to Mercadia) or something because I personally find the High Stakes name unsexy. I prefer something that has more Vorthosian substance. Infact, after I'm done I'm doing a forum thread with my decklist.
Have you tried the Theros block Hero cards? I'm personally considering inserting a variety of tokens into the deck rather than vanilla creatures since mana costs don't matter anyways (even if I consider adding some devotion cards as well).
EDIT: What about land cards with utility btw? They can provide mana a good bit.
EDITEDIT: I additionally see your auction block is 200 cards. Do you find that the optimal size? - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.
I think it's much better. If your opponent is tapped out, you'll get an activation out of it. If not, he can't touch it before activation if he only has sorcery speed removal. I think the difference is very sound.
Huh? Is this a joke? If so I admit to not getting it sorry. :/
At any rate, Lorwyn didn't have any dragons. Did you mean another set?
I think saving three many is pretty good. As I said, GG for a 5/5 with a good death trigger.
Of course, this all depends on how much it costs to manifest it to begin with.
Playing a bunch of them plus the facedown-bettering enchantments could work quite well.
Perhaps there can be a rare card which can specifically cast manifested instants or sorceries?

Creature - Human Wizard R
T: Exile target face down creature you control. If it is an instant or sorcery, you may cast it from exile this turn.
2/1
Oh god right, I'm so sorry.
May I just say hats off to you, sir, your attitude about the spirit of Commander is great. Big plays are indeed awesome and cards should indeed be included for that reason. I'm always happy to find another player who likes to eitehr win or lose with style.
I think Loxodon Hierarch could be played in current Standard. 4 life and a 4/4 is nothing to scoff at. It's still pure value.
This.
