Heartbreaking.
This is simply the only place I come for any sort of Magic information, so I'm not quite sure I'll even be paying attention to Magic as much anymore after close.
Truly sorry to see this go. It is, indeed, the end of an era.

There was a short time where Channel, Rofellos AND Emrakul were all live. I could basically ever only play black for Edict effects or I would lose in the first few turns. Emrakul won't be crazy as a commander, but she will get searched out by Green, bribed by Blue and the game will be super unfun. People (around here) already dislike losing four permanents to Ulamog/Kozileg, Emrakul will more than likely turn into "You lose/go to 2-3 permanents, now you..." I do not really see any benefit in removing her from the banned list.
Brutal Expulsion can find some roon in my Zedruu deck too, this set is so, so solid.
Well, it has fire and hedrons I guess, like the art overall.
Doesn't it just get a card that costs two? Ooooooooooooooooh it you spent WBGU you get something better.
NICE!
Much better than I thought then!
That's fine. It's done on upkeep then and you can just replay your crap during your mainphase, where you can replay the Hall, which will hamper them if they are playing multi-color. It's not a perfect solution of course, but it can help.
Look at the pre-cons Sol Ring is included in. A few tapduals, some ramp, a few fatties and removal spells. No problem there. Rememeber that it's meant to be a kitchen-table, casual format. Mana Crypt is overkill there and Sol Ring is still strong but not super silly. You can make it break things, of course, but that's up to you.
Yeva, Nature's Herald. Or I run Hall of Gemstone so they get green mana on my turn. Or Choke. Or Jester's Cap to exile that and two other obnoxious cards.
Except they've never reprinted the "real" fetchlands. We'll see stuff like Evolving Wilds, Terramorphic Expanse and maybe the Mirage tap-fetches but not the ONS-ZEN ones. They want these to be "budget" so they can be a starter product into Commander. Putting cards that are needed for Modern or Legacy in there defeats the purpose and inflates prices.
Well, if you craft around him it could be 1.5 swings. Ability + Strionic Resonator = 40 cards, copy Strionic's activation with Rings of Brighthearth = 60 cards. That is still pretty clunky but I'd prefer losing four permanents than 20 cards (albeit as random as they are at the time of exile).
It's more or less a "You did this to yourself...after I handed you a nuclear weapon."
In my current Zedruu build I am using Warleader's Helix and Lightning Helix and they add up surprisingly quickly. Magmatic Force? Oh lawd so much damage...three damage during each upkeep? To any target? Once I dropped a Vesuvan Doppelganger to copy it things just got completely out of control.
Edit. Just now saw monored so ignore Boros cards obviously, but Magmatic Force, Insurrection, Valakut, even Hammer of Bogardan is "okay".
