HARDEST OF HARD PASSES. Pass me some eye bleach.

ROFL... Can't agree more... Do we really need crap like this???

That makes sense, I just wanted to avoid a potential argument since I am building a new deck with this card as the main idea.

Thanks!

Hi all,

Just wondering, if I pass a creature to an opponent via Assault Suit, do I gain it back at my next turn (if its still alive, of course)?

Thanks

That's a cool design. Don't we have something in the environment that doubles damage from a red source or sorceries/instants? I'm quite sure there is.

'buster

Yes there is: Obosh, the Prey-piercer (sorry, don't know how to put a picture in the thread).

This card is tailor made for my Karlov deck, as the majority of creatures have lifelink. Very glad to see this one!

What really bothers me is that we still get broken cards in 2020, despite the vast experience WotC has designing and testing new cards. They don't seem to learn, as can be observed recently with Oko, for example, or Heliod, Sun-Crowned (this one still unbanned, to be continued...).

In any case, I get that they are trying new stuff and Companion in itself is a great and novel idea, so I feel somewhat dissapointed that they dropped the ball with the Otter. Don't they consult the RC? I was under the impression that they were.

Let's see the other companion cards that get revealed, hoping we don't get more cards that don't outright feel like design mistakes.

In light of this change, I will also be expecting for Corona beer to also change their name... (not gonna happen, but hey, people are really sensitive nowadays!). Joke aside, I guess WotC acted well under the circumstances.

Definitely a joke, it's kinda obvious just by the overall tone of the message, and by the cards themselves which make no sense whatsoever as a bundle.

What about Bury, becoming Hurry? !

You really need to consider this one, although it is from Unstable: Rules Lawyer!

Got some nice cards in yesterday's draft. During the draft, someone passed me a recruiter of the guard which I kept despite being outside my colors (thanks so MUCH!). I got some other nice cards but the best was found in the 4 boosters I opened after the tournament was over (I finished 2nd): purphoros, god of the forge then teferi's protection.

So much value for a mere 35$ CDN to participate. I got over 100$ worth of cards but I admit I got lucky, the winner opened some crappy cards... I wouldn't buy a box since there is a lot of crap in there, but overall our group opened several value cards including selvala, heart of the wilds. This was a strange drafting experience, compared to regular sets. I definitely recommend trying it!

Here we go again....

Anyone knows how much they will cost?

Damn, this is one of the most toxic post I have seen in a long while...

Carry on folks, nothing to see here!

I just came across this post on Blogatog:

-----------------------------------------------
rxphantom asked: High fives for Secret Lair! My local game store, like most, was frankly doing too well, making too much money, and needed to be knocked down a peg.

First off, you have a valid question “Why can’t you run Secret Lair through local game stores?” Framing it as a passive-aggressive snide response adds an unnecessary tone to the post and most of the time will keep people from answering your question. When seeking answers, be polite. Quite often, as you’ll see with this answer, there are reasons you might be unaware of.

So why don’t we run Secret Lair through local game stores? The short answer is we can’t logistically, at least not without drastically raising the price and taking significantly longer to get the product to you.

Secret Lair is what is known as a “short window print to order” product. It requires having a single uniform ordering point, otherwise there’s no way to monitor the time cut-off. Also, with print to order, you want a single uniform shipping point. In addition, we want the product to get to as many players as possible (and yes, we’re working on the global reach issues) and many players do not have easy access to a local game store.

Local game stores are very important to us and we’re making more products than ever sold through local game stores, but not every product works cleanly through them, Secret Lair being a good example. It’s just logistically and financially unviable.

------------------------------------------------

I don't get why shipping these Secret Lair cards to LGS costs more; they could be included with other releases like Ikoria, for example. It sounds a bit bogus to me, but it might be true. Who knows?
