Avatar posted a message on Magic's newest "player": Martin Shkreli. Good for the reserved list case?Wizards has a new CEO and hopefully for the masses he'll be able to unseat the old pharaohs maintaining Magic in the old world with the RL, because they had that thing once with Chronicles, when TCG and the pre-Internet trade were vastly different.Posted in: Magic General
This kind of news is the logical conclusion of maintaining artificial scarcity because of something that happened 20 years ago. -

Squirrelclamp posted a message on Magic Story Articles Discussion: SOI & EMN [No Spoilers]I enjoyed this story despite that it's emblematic of my biggest gripes with the totality of this block's narrative (Sorin's and Nahiri's mutual arrogance, terrible communication skills, and cosmically bad timing). I hope that Nahiri's next act is to planeswalk to Zendikar to catch what she thinks will be a final glimpse thereof:Posted in: Magic Storyline
Nahiri: "Whoa. Uh, excuse me, ma'am? Where'd the Eldrazi go?"
Tazri: "Oh, those old things? Gone."
Nahiri: "Wait, what? Even the titans?"
Tazri: "Y'mean the two super-big ones that a lot of us worshiped before last January? Yup. Totally dead."
Nahiri: "How are they DEAD?"
Tazri: "Planeswalkers."
Nahiri: "What planeswalkers?!"
Tazri: "They all wear bright colors for some reason. Uh, they went to a place called Innistrad to --"
Nahiri: "CRAP."
Tazri: "...No, not to do that -- well, maybe that too? Gross, though." -

Jain_Mor posted a message on Gathering Magic preview card - Tamiyo, Field ResearcherWotC are forcing previous mono colour planeswalkers into multi colours to make room for the Gatewatch. See Ajani, Sorin, Garruk, Tamiyo etc. When Elspeth comes back I'll reckon she'll be multi colour too.Posted in: The Rumor Mill -

a7xjoker33 posted a message on Emrakul's Evangel also pure mtgoPosted in: The Rumor MillQuote from Sallucianious »Quote from Raptorchan »What's going on?
A set that was supposed to be what happens when an Eldrazi shows up turned into a set about Eldrazi...
It's like this card is emblematic of what WotC thought of this set. "Hey you guys: why play those old Innistrad tropes and tribes? Ditch them and let's you get some new stuff that shows how cool Emrakul is!" "Can we still get some of the old stuff AND this cool new stuff?""You silly beans, that stuff doesn't synergize with Eldrazi!"
I mean, I like the effects in this set, but does everything have to be Eldrazi or Horror if it isn't in white or blue? -

damagecase posted a message on Ulrich of the Krallenhorde// Ulrich uncontested AlphaActually and unfortunately yes you can tell. Here's a basic list of criteria, competitively speaking:Posted in: The Rumor Mill
The six Virtues
1) Is it under four mana? Four is the curve topper competitively speaking outside of standard. More than four, it's a strike against it.
2) Is its toughness greater than 3? Bolt test. Can it survive, if not it's a strike against it.
3) Is it evasive? Can it do something through a crowded field? Your opponent is gonna play creatures and spells, if it does nothing that's a strike.
4) Does it impact the game the turn it is played? How long do you have to wait for it to do its thing? EtB is nice, haste is too even LtB works in a pinch. But it needs to impact the game, if not it's a strike.
5) Does it generate board or hand advantage? Similar to #4. Advantage is huge in competitive mtg. If it does remove a strike against it.
6) How color intensive is its mana cost? The more colored mana you need, the hard said card is to cast. It also hurts it's possible ubiquitousness which in turn affects its overall value. No strikes here, just something to keep in mind.
Any who, on with the analogy. Three strikes, its out. This is my basic creature eval. system. -
