    Quote from HandwrittenHero
    No skill at all in reading the metagame correctly through testing and evaluating card choices so as to bring the best 75 for that tournament. None at all.

    P.S. It's not skill, it's experience?! Best tell some of these athletes how their muscle memory got shaped...next time I see Lionel Messi jink past 3 defenders and roll it into the bottom corner I'll be sure to point out it's only because he learnt it once and then repeated it so it's definitely not skill...


    Did you just compare MTG to athletics and muscle memory?

    LMAO.

    Cracks me up, but awful analogy.

    On topic, Miracle is cool. it adds another layer of complexity onto the game. if you lost to a "luckily drawn terminus" or something, it's just part of the game now. Just like you can lose to a "luckily drawn card X"

    anyone saying "meh" to this card needs their magic license revoked. also, stop being an apathetic MTG hipster.

    it's pretty bonkers.

    underwhelmed by this as a mythic in terms of raw power, especially after seeing some of the other cards in this set.

    this guy will see more play in the older formats than he will in standard, thus making him the chase non-mythic of the set.

    he will be broken or close to it once someone puts together the right deck, trust me.

    i remember reading a thread during the rumor period where this guy was like 'get your spellskites now while they are cheap, it will be worth the most of any rare in this set" and people were bashing him and calling him and idiot. to you my friend, whomever you are, you are a flippin' genius and dont let anybody on these threads hate on you.

    that stinks man, the box we got was awesome. 1 Tez, 1 FOIL Tez, Thrun, Sword of Feast and Famine, White and Black Zeniths, 2 Phrexian Crusaders, and other assorted goodies.

  • posted a message on knight of oxid ridge really good?
    This is one of those cards that initially when some people see it will be like "That card sucks and is overcosted for what it does."

    it doesnt, trust me. is it kinda situational depending on what your opponent is playing? yeah.

    does it suck? not at all.

    he fills in a void that was missing and i love when a card does that.

    the art on this is so terrible. i heard the word commando and immediately thought "cool, I wonder how they will spin his appearance."

    >.<

    i dont see them dropping much more than they have already. if you plan on playing white, keep them. if you dont, sell them. they are still totally relevant....i mean, they arent serra angels yet

    they should have allowed it to target a player. i mean, really, for that kind of mana, you should be able to hit the dome.

    gosh this card blows.

    ugh, it is almost single handedly making me not want to buy booster packs of this set even though i love most of the set so far.

    it has been said but him with Gideon is just nasty. and the angel really is perfectly costed. if they costed him at 7 he would be jank, at 6, he is sweet.

    @ the post above me, add in Venser and make it a W/U deck and you have the makings of something pretty damn good.
