I personally would take the Saga frames over Amonkhet promos.
The art was nice but trying to figure out what the card is was a nightmare.

Yeah they had zero "glance value". Im so used to just look over some detail and know what card it is. It feels so wrong to actually have to read a card.Quote:

Food Chain mana only casts creature spells, it doesn't count towards abilities. In order to go infinte with SGC, you'd need Skirk Prospector.Quote:

Killed a bunch of Jaces. It earned it.Quote:

Historic refers to any card that has:
The Legendary supertype,
The Artifact card type, or
The Saga enchantment type.
Some abilities trigger "whenever you cast a historic spell." They don't trigger if a historic card is put onto the battlefield without being cast. Legendary Lands are never cast.
I'm just glad they went with "a historic" instead of "an historic." I'm not sure why, but an historic really bugs me...
Let me get this right:
If i have a card in play which "does X if a historic spell is played" in Legacy, it would trigger from all legal Legends & artifacts?
Yes. Besides Lands.
Anything good that triggers in the set? Baubles and other free shit get much better if so
Probably not - all the best historic triggers are 4 manaQuote:

Whenever you cast a historic spell, return target creature card with converted mana cost 3 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield. (Artifacts, legendaries, and Sagas are historic.)
2/2
Plus any good 3 mana or less sacrifice creature plus baubles?
Jhoira, Weatherlight Captain
2UR
Legendary Creature - Human Artificer
Whenever you cast a historic spell, draw a card. (Artifacts, legendaries, and Sagas are historic.)
3/3
Baubles are 0: Draw a card.
There's also Jhoira's Familiar. 2/2 Flying for :4: with Historic spells you cast cost :1: less to cast.
Just in cast you needed any more artifact discounting effects in your deck
At least SDT is banned to prevent more stupid shit with double SDT.
@Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle:
I know it's alot of cards and thus most likely not viable, but it + Junk Diver + :0: mana artifact that puts itself into the GY (even Walking Ballista should work for the extra value outside of the combo) + sac out wincon would work.
Good luck assembling the whole thing and getting creatures back through DRS, though.
Probably not good enough, because 4 mana is a lot, especially with Salvagers in the deck already, but this could be interesting to at least try in something like BW Bomberman with Mentors, as a backup plan, by allowing your Baubles to get back Mentor/Confidants and restock on resources.Quote:

It's tough, but perhaps there is still a baby in that bathwater. It remains to be seen how the Jace & Bloodbraid moves workout for Modern, but all things considered, I think Legacy might have gotten the best treatment, with respect to the B&R of any format, at least lately.
Rules question about Leyline of Singularity:
Does it cause historic cast abilities to trigger? I assume not, as the cards should become legendary only once they hit the battlefield as far as I understand it.
That sounds like a good starting point if any valuable cards with the mechanic are printed. Salvager + LED + Johira draws your deck. I originally asked because of Affinity shenanigans to get value out of lategame Moxen & CoQuote:

You can pay 3U and tap an artifact you control instead of paying the mana cost of this spell.
5/6
I mean . . . isn't this really east to cast for 3U? Especially in stompy builds with Chalice's and Trinisphere?
It is, although tapping down your 3sphere is counterproductive. Equipment is another prime candidate of being tapped down and not giving a fuck.Quote:

Edit: So this is the new frame for legendary creatures:

If it's similiar to this for all colors, that's rather disappointing.
Well poop. I was hoping it would be subtle yet pleasant like the Miracle card frame or the Theros enchantment card frame.Quote:

I am still underwhelmed by the "planeswalker spellbook" frames i saw yesterday and in shock because of the "historic" nonsense layout. Today i have to see "legend frames" too.
This is going overboard. I get special boarders for mechanical matters as an indicator (like Miracle), but for Legends & such is meh.
Ha. . . . oops :laugh:Quote:

A shame she isn't a Soldier for Soldier Stompy. That said, I like the card - the mana cost is easy on the white count, good balance between offence and defense, lifegain out of the wazoo, great equipment carrier, enables shenanigans (Jitte card + equip for 3 mana, Sword cast + equip or Batterskull hardcast for 4 mana), fetchable with Recruiter and can be defended with Karakas. Competition is tough in D&T, though, and the question is if all of this is worth it over other 3-drops, especially Mirran Crusader.
She'll be a voltron commander in Brawl :tongue:
I wonder if that Zhalfiran void land could be useful in Dragon. I don’t recall what the holdup has been for that combo. But I betcha it is one of those that are waiting in the wings for the right card to come along.
