    Indeed, the only way I buy in to MTGO is if everything costs almost nothing, I've spent way too much on paper to buy it all again digital.

    Whatever happened to the news of that "Magic Digital Next" thing? Just silence?

    This is precisely why a colon was needed there instead of a period. Correct punctuation removes the possibility of misinterpretation.

    Thanks for the posts, Ben. I'll definitely be running this in Infect.

    Oh, indeed, had to read it twice myself.

    Is it really better than Vines of the Vastwood though? Honestly unsure.

    How is that good news? Sure, Standard gets cheaper, but your prizes will be worth jackshit, as all competitive events pay out packs. If pack value is shit, so are your prizes.

    If you're paying G for either, it is better than vines (hexproof and pumps, sick), they're corner cases where Vines wording is a bit better due to it's wording.

    Indeed, I have been there for games won by someone playing Vines on an opposing creature to stop a game ending equip. But Vines is also +4/+4, which means that it's an instant win with Berserk too.

    I am not saying this new card is not good, but I really am unsure if it's better, or how much better than Vines.

    All masterpieces in Kaladesh

    Can't really say I'm a fan of the art in many cases. E.g. since when was CoW a drainpipe?

    Art is decent on some of them imo, but the border is fucking hideous. It reminds me of those collectible Pokemon cards that didn't actually have game text on them and were only pictures and collectible

    Art is a bit overdone on a few of them (Painter's Servant and the swords most notably)

    Also Feast and Famine is the eggplant emoji.

    Holy balls. Talk about taking PIMP to the EXTREME.... those are some gorgeous cards.

    It's literally the Whos-Who of all broken artifacts that are not on the Reserve List. Did they miss anything?

    Cloudstone Curio has stunning art, but the border is way too much.

    I think it's alright. It's as close to brown on some of these as we're ever going to get anyway. Too bad they'll all likely be stupid expensive. There are a few I'd like to pick up but I'm not about to drop real money just so I can scrub out of a single event every 2 years in style.

    If you're going to lose to be honest, at least do so with grace, dignity and style.
