sindrik8x83 posted a message on Landfall Creatures - New Printings?Been playing Magic for some four years now. Just curious in general how often "landfall" creatures are printed, and whether or not any of the upcoming sets might be good opportunities for it. I imagine it's cyclic like anything else, but having been around for as short a period as I am, I haven't been able to see cycles come and go much.Posted in: The Rumor Mill
I've been brewing a lot lately and just love the concept, so it would be cool if a couple more worthy of eternal play found their way into the fold (with fetch, shocking being a common phenomenon in Modern). I know for a while there was some of it in Zoo decks back when I had started competitive play in Modern a couple years back. Not sure how cards like this would effect Standard (can't imagine they'd be great), or whether or not they would need to be released in a Non-Standard print.

endgame1331 posted a message on Banned and restricted list updatesI don't know why people are shocked or upset. Energy has been the dominant strategy since inception. First it was the energy package + copycat engine as the best deck, then it was energy package + marvel into eldrazi as the best deck, then it was energy package + glorybringer and scarab god as the best deck. For the past year and a half, rogue refiner.dek has been the oppressive overwhelming force to everything BUT ramunap red. Going off of data, the temur energy deck was 1/4 to 1/3 of the meta, That's not even counting the different energy decks that use the same 20 something card base and built from there. If you do count those variants, you're closer to forty to fifty percent.Posted in: The Rumor Mill
Half of the meta game was different flavors of energy.
Amonkhet and Ixalan aren't week sets. They've been labeled as such because of the parasitic monster that is the energy mechanic. God-pharaoh's gift decks, approach decks, dinosaur midrange, tokens, and vampires all tried and failed to push through energy. Mefolk would have joined the list of decks that are good but worse then energy.
The mono-red hits are slightly suspect though. I would have liked to see how the meta shaped up with a weakened energy deck before doing anything else. In all honesty though, Hazoret.dek is probably still completely fine. Rather then go for the power cards they went for the cards that stopped you from interacting with mono red in an effective way. -

cyberium_neo posted a message on Banned and restricted list updatesI wonder how many players here played in Necro Winter and Combo Winter. Banning cards to end monopoly of deck styles give others an opportunity to shine in a more diverse environment. No point playing a game if there's only one or two deck types to make/prepare against.Posted in: The Rumor Mill -

Greyimp posted a message on Banned and restricted list updatesThe hits to red were necessary. Traditional red decks had at least 1 weakness. Ripping lands off the top.Posted in: The Rumor Mill
Not only did they take that away but they stopped up every hole that could stop red.
Lifegain, check
lands off the top, check
blockers, check
sweepers, check
card draw, check
Now they've taken the reach from lands and utterly screwing life gain off the table. There are cards that can compete with that now.
The only thing worse than the current meta would be a meta of 1 RR deck which is what testing probably told them they were going to get.
The mana base really pisses me off. They totally sacked proper mana so they could sell enemy fetches etc in Modern Masters. -

Courier7 posted a message on Banned and restricted list updatesPosted in: The Rumor MillQuote from Greyimp »This move might get people interested in trying new things this block.
Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal, but last Friday night there were 26 people at my LGS playing Standard. Do you know how many people were playing decks which were *not* Temur Energy, Ramunap Red, GPG, or some list they most likely found online? Two. I had the first iteration of a Jund deck featuring -1/-1 counters and Nest of Scarabs--it went 2-2 but it was its first night out and I have to admit that Soul-Scar Mage + 2x Nest of Scarabs + Sweltering Suns was funny--and another guy I know resurrected his Metalwork Colossus deck--casting a 10/10 for what is essentially free on turn 4 took some people by surprise.
Long story short: most Magic players *don't* try new things. Ever. Except when a set rotates out or their favorite card of the moment gets banned. -

Aazadan posted a message on Banned and restricted list updatesPosted in: The Rumor MillQuote from broodwarjc »So many complaints on here will be from people not reading the article and the reasoning for each ban. That is the internet though, read the headline and instantly form opinion with no real backing. We humans are creatures of emotion.
Banwise all of these make sense based off their reasoning and I would like see to where the format evolves. Does RG Pummler rise to take over the Energy mantle? Does UW Cycling or UB Control lock opponents out of their game for dominance? Does UW GPG and Scarab God force graveyard hate into every deck? Do any of the Ixalan tribes actually stand a chance against the evil remnants of Kaladesh and Ahmonket?
There's an interesting throw away comment in the article, where they imply there's at least one deck with a <2% share of the metagame with better matchups across the board than Ramunap Red. -

MysticLeviathan posted a message on Blood SunThere are several lands whose drawbacks get negated.Posted in: The Rumor Mill
Lotus Vale, Scorched Ruins, City of Traitors, City of Brass, Bouncelands, Any dual land that comes into play tapped (I think), Forbidden Orchard, Undiscovered Paradise, Kjeldoran Outpost, Lake of the Dead, etc. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.
