Quote from cyberium_neo »Quote from JuiceBOX »I know this was yesterday, but I absolutely love this card! What are some ideas people have? It'd be nice to do some Thantis style here i.e. token generation, which forces your opponents to fight with a bigger army and you dealing more damage as well. I heart some equipment such as Whispersilk Cloak, attack right after Sylvan Offering. With tokens you could also do Sandsower to tap potential blockers, have some token generators likes Nahiri and Elspeth (Elspeth #1 also gives out flying). You only need one hit to goad all creatures, so you only need one unblockable creature (per opponent) to entice a total war. Needless to say, Grenzo, Havoc Raiser is perfect here.

Quote from Zemarr »That or just scrap precons down to 1 per year and do a commander booster set with its release so that the market can be tamed more, because some of these staples are ridiculous for new players to acquire (I doubt this will be a popular opinion).
Quote from Gutterstorm »Quote from Neuroticneurok »Might pick up Anje Falkenrath because Innistrad, but other than that, I'm not that interested. Naya Populate DOES make sense, since RW and GW have both been token based in the past, but I'm not enthused because of a lack of Evergreen. Not even Vigilance? C'mon now. Jeskai: Stats are awful. Abilities are great but a 2/2 for 5 is not acceptable to me at all. Sultai: Might be fun to play with, possibly. I don't really see the Jeskai commander's body as relevant. Since damage is prevented to it damage based removal and combat damage don't kill it. The only thing that cares about it's body is -x/-x based removal but that stuff is supposed to kill anything it targets and it's not super common. Basically you're paying 5 for an enchantment that prevents damage from your opponents' largest creatures and copies your first spell from your yard. Which seems fine.

Quote from toomuchtariel »Quote from Galspanic »Sigh. Good cards get banned for being good. Quote from awesomer phantasm »The Iona ban is absolutely ridiculous. She's so innocuous I was laughing when I read the announcement. I still think Paradox Engine is fine and shouldn't be banned, but at least that card *was* legit broken if you're that kind of player. Banning Iona is just a sign to me that the rules committee has completely lost touch. One vote of no confidence from me. I think Wizards should take the reins and come up with a ban list that makes at least a *little* bit of sense. you're sociopaths and I'm glad that I never have to sit down and be locked out of the game for 2 hours while I watch you play tbh

Quote from Tiro of Meletis »Finally! Thank you thank you! I’ve wanted both these cards gone. At least Urza can be built in a more fun yet still competitive manner.
Quote from WizardMN »Quote from joejack8445 »So if I read that thread right, they flat out nerfed the **** out of splice. Splice is a niche mechanic with the only thing cool about about it is now gone. Way to go Wizards.I posted in the other thread as well, but according to Eli the "nerf" does not seem to be intentional. Eli's response is here: https://twitter.com/EliShffrn/status/1135936204237463552 As I said in the other thread, I am not convinced this was intentional if it does actually work this way where it is no longer copied.
