    Re: The Rogue Hermit

    Hey boys! We're getting Zendikar Resurgent spoilers, and these bad boys look like they might kick Rogue Hermit into a different plane of existence.

  2. Re: Zendikar Resurgent spoilers: Eldrazi Need Not Apply

    Isn't that enough?

    With two lands per color at least, these decks now have access to 8 on-color lands and as many off-color lands as they care to use. That's huge. Insane, even. They need to be...

    Oh, happy to share my personal perspective and my attempted objective perspective.

  4. Re: Banhammer swings like Babe Ruth, hits everything

    Wizards can do what they want, of course, and I'm happy that they're printing powerful new cards. Printing without being scared and then using the banhammer to manage formats instead of just printing...

    Thassa's Oracle also finally gives you a good win condition for my favorite combo that never had a good one:

    I think you all are proving my point. That is to say, the Reprint Policy itself doesn't actually stop Wizards from printing cards that would broaden access into Legacy and Vintage; it's just that...

    Re: The current state of Magic

    Sure, I mean, what color DOESN'T have a one-drop 2/2 or better dependent on artifacts? Black and Green, I guess. White has at least 2. Still, if any color is supposed to have weaker creatures, it is...

    Standard is always boring. When you see all these bans, that's a GOOD THING. Why? it means they're taking risks. They're printing powerful cards, not watered-down Theros garbage. Standard with lots...

    Many of these cards are pretty "meh."



    Today! This lord is inferior in every way to the 8 existing 2-drop lords you can run, unless you're playing UG already for some other reason. There's not...

    Re: [RIX] Rivals of Ixalan

    This "City" mechanic is another parasitic one. It's Energy, but with a Boolean instead of an Integer. Lame.

    That said, the cards can still be playable if they're good on their own. It is most...

    Ditto. No one is going to pay 2UR for a sometimes Tolarian Academy. Card is fine in EDH, but is unplayable in eternal. When you can pay 2UR, and you've successfully got 5 artifacts out there, what...

    I mean, it can also destroy fish. Putting fish in the ocean kills them. But, not man-fish.

    Homarids are the least of the flavor fails here.

    It competes with Toxic Deluge, Pernicious Deed, and Damnation. However, it has differences that...

    We restricted Probe in Vintage and it basically did nothing whatever to hinder the decks that used it.
