From this talk https://riptidelab.com/forum/threads/community-cuts-thread.2009/page-2#post-85581 Birthing Pod vs Collected Company I like both. But is Pod too difficult to build around?

Discussing annoying archetypes > Annoying memes Un an entirely unrelated note: Has the large influx of MtG games (worldwide) per hour with the release of Arena made MtG discussions more focused towards some minor hate for the top tier Standard deck and less about creativity?

Truth

Approach of the Second Sun How much support does this large gem needs? Which support cards are you guys running?

People were saying the same things about MODO in the early years. “Arg, rage, MODO is just a cash grab and they just want a platform where they can sell Standard and nothing else. MODO will double the booster pack sales. Etc.” Now MODO has..like.. twelve formats. Lesson to be learned: Everyone...

The user Binmaa posted this little fun fact I think is cute: “ Well in Theory you could say that there is a connection: RTR block was 2013 Mirrodin block was 2003 The game released 1993 So if you take Pioneer, Mirrodin and Legacy there is a new Eternal format every 10 years.”

I think that is a pretty newbie opinion/guess. Remember how Magic Online was the first few years? I am talking about Magic Online 1.0. Also called MODO. It was only Standard. Same as Arena. And slowly they started implementing more formats and sets. If Arena is still only Standard in 2024...

I never heard of paper Historic. I thought it was a Arena-only format. And I guess it will still be alive for years to come?

I won't ever touch it. I think it is poorly designed. Also it is clumsy for paper Magic because of all the power/toughness altering doesn't show automatically like on Arena. Oko, the Fixed 1UG +1: Create a Food token. -1: Target artifact or creature loses all abilities and becomes a green...

I do not think Historic has been strangled in its cradle. Historic is suppose to release on Arena early 2020, right?

Does anyone know if there is a place/website with some high quality foil pictures? Whenever I have to upload a foil picture, it always come from www.starcitygames.com and it looks almost unreadable compared to www.scryfall.com but they don’t do foils.

https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/announcing-pioneer-format-2019-10-21 All sets from Return to Ravnica and onward are legal.

Brudiclad is also legal in Commander besides the mentioned Legacy, Vintage and Cube. I had never heard of the card before :P Jeeesh I suddenly feel like there should be more ‘older’ formats. Or maybe all Commander products and Modern/Vintage Masters should instead be released as Modern Horizon...

Apologies if this card hasn’t been released yet. I haven’t seen it spoiled anywhere. Casting cost 2GGG with no body attached VS. Casting cost 4GG with 6/6 body attached Overrun vs.

Well it might be pretty strong at six but correct me if I am wrong here: It has never been used in any format, right? This obviously excludes Riptide cubes where we actively try to lower the power level of our cubes. And when you mention Garruk; there’s a 5 mana Garruk that makes repeatable...

Chris and Onde You have peaked my interest. I’ll buy a copy (pun intended) of Brudiclad but I will change its cost to 3UR. Also now I need a Quasiduplicate.

It does count! So basically all I need is to add Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer and then I have the opportunity of that happen rarely in the cube tournaments I host? Man I wish Brudiclad was a little ‘better’ or cheaper. Or had on-color synergy with other stuff.

Do you have some too? Artifacts that creates a ton of weird tokens, that is? Because I’d love to see them.

Thanks for putting numbers to the discussion <3 It also exactly reveals my point that you need a deck with 33 % instants/sorceries in order to function the way I want it to. And that is the reason why I do not think Delver is a trap if you build your cube for it. However it also reveals that...

That is not how we normally do statistics. You cannot control the output like that. You took one example of a hand with 1 Young Pyromancer, 3 instants and 2 or more lands. If you go down this route, then you will have to go through every example there is which also includes scenarios that are...
