  1. Re: So who here is going to drop legacy for Pre-War legacy?

    If you mean the Premodern format (see premodernmagic.com), it's actually very budget-friendly for a constructed Magic format. You can build a perfectly viable deck (Stasis, Rock, Oath, ...) for like...

    Re: Masters 25

    If this is a not a fluke, a lot depends on how - or indeed whether - WotC will acknowledge the issue. It stands to reason that if the problem is widespread, they must have been aware of it for some...

    Re: Hour of Devastation [HOU]

    IMVHO it might have been breakable if it let you cast a creature card instead of just putting it into play, or if it granted haste. As it stands, it's not quite an 'Oops, I win' effect. It does not...

    Re: The current state of Magic

    Hasbro has been trying to turn Magic into a franchise for some time now, what with the comics, the board game, action figures, the movie, and some miscellaneous vaporware. The current storyline,...

    Re: Eldritch Moon spoilers inbound

    By the time you have 5-6 instants and/or sorceries in your graveyard and this guy becomes accessibly costed at 2-3 mana, you should have won the game already. After all, each of those instants and...

    Re: MTGO discussion

    I don't think WotC will do anything like that, except perhaps if paper Magic has gone into decline. This is because a low entry barrier to online Magic would give players a very strong incentive to...
  8. Re: [Official] Bitching About Prices and Reprints Thread

    Dual lands are being played with. The market for dual lands is not likely to collapse as long as there are people willing to play in some relevant Eternal format, which means, for at least a...

    Re: Confirmed: Eternal Masters - June 10, 2016

    Whatever else is in there, this is already pretty good. Now let's just hope for a large print run.
  10. Re: Mark Rosewater thinks Legacy builders aren't as talented as Modern builders?

    To be fair, he can't be seen to criticize Modern, or the lack of the kind of "police cards" that are the linchpin of Legacy in recent card design. At least he sort of admits that as of today, Modern...
  11. Re: [Official] Bitching about prices. (Modern edition.)

    Ironically, Modern is currently dominated by blisteringly fast aggro decks, at least one of which (Eldrazi) is likely to be hit by a banning come April. I even suspect that things won't end there...

    Re: Modern Banned List

    To their eternal misfortune, many if not most competitive or semi-competitive Magic players are too ambitious to quit when the going gets tough. Ban their decks, increase the pace of rotation,...

    That PT alone will have sold a lot of OGW packs, though. I suspect that from their point of view, everything is turning out perfect.

    Re: [B&R] January 2016 Update - No Changes

    In 3 or 6 months from now, after people have bought their share of OGW, they will apologetically spread their hands and ban Eye of Ugin. I am not just being sarcastic, it's totally going to be that...

    Re: [OGW] Oath of the Gatewatch spoilers thread

    IMVHO that card is brilliant. It provides a way to stack your deck that's not readily abusable by a combo deck. But a Standard aggro deck might be quite happy to exile most of its graveyard with...

    Re: [OGW] Oath of the Gatewatch spoilers thread

    There are better options available for most Legacy and Modern decks that might want to play it: Mirri's Guile, Sylvan Library, Ancient Stirrings. I'm thinking maybe it could be a 1-2 of in Gx...

    Re: [OGW] Oath of the Gatewatch spoilers thread

    It's very, very good value for 6 mana. Its problem is that's it's a schizophrenic combination of grindy abilities with a fairly fragile body and summoning sickness. It might be a better card if it...

    Re: [OGW] Oath of the Gatewatch spoilers thread

    Nowadays, they want to have symbols and keywords for everything. There's already a paintbrush to denote 'Illustrated by.' IMO this is an instance of overproduction in the graphic and rules design, in...

    Re: List of european Mtg artists

    John Avon is based in the UK and signs cards by mail. See http://johnavonart.com/card-signing.html

    I can confirm that he really will sign your cards and send then back to you : )

    Sticky: Poll: Re: All B/R update speculation.

    Add Young Pyromancer near the top of the list - for obvious reasons - and Deathrite Shaman somewhere in the middle. I don't even think Brainstorm ought to be banned, but this list gives me a pause.
  24. Re: Can I have 10,000 cards in my deck and then sideboard down to 60?

    Tournament rules state you have to be able to shuffle your deck without assistance, so that would probably be grounds for a DQ or something.

    Also, at all times your deck must be at least 60 cards...

    Re: [BFZ]Battle for Zendikar spoilers thread

    In "younger" formats, especially Standard, this is not such a trivial issue. Having multiple cards in your graveyard early on is by no means guaranteed, and it's harder to filter out unwanted copies...
