That helps. Thanks for shedding some light on that for a guy who doesn't keep up with the lore very much.

Ah, I totally missed that it was a reprint. It's weird flavor for MOM, too, the set where every plane is at war with the baddies. I also don't understand how performer flavor c0nnects to surveil enters/dies triggers. It's very random. I'll go ahead and get over it now.

Wary Thespian I'll try this card as a two drop that an aggressive green deck could use, and also a card that the graveyard decks can use. I like smoothing bonuses on simple cards. But what's up with the flavor of this thing? It seems like a weird thing to throw into the Foundations set. Are...

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it with a single picture and it threw an error, so I ended up writing them out by hand for now. The photo had overlapping sleeved cards with all of the card titles visible. Is this the type of picture the app is supposed to interpret?

I'm very interested to hear how the 4 player pick two format works out, and how the set is designed differently to accomodate this format. The multiverse land is cool. Glad they fixed the bad border, so maybe I'll find a few cards I like here after all. It will depend on flavor and art, and it...

We had a really fun cube night drafting this with four players instead of just three, finally. I didn't keep track of W-L totals, but everybody won some and lost some, which was great. the games were mostly pretty competitive and interesting. Draft format was 5 packs of 10 cards each, burning 2...

Can anybody recommend an easy process for turning a picture of a deck into a riptide deck list? I'd like to turn deck photos into a draft report while automating the tedious parts. I suppose I should just pick a deck scanning app and write a program to turn the output into a deck list, but if...

I played Samut a TON on Arena when it was in standard. I always wanted this in my opening hand: Kumano Faces Kakkazan It was really fun to drop Samut on T3 and swing with the flipped 2/2 hasty saga guy and draw two cards if they couldn't block.

Alara is one of the sets I really liked during a time when I actually played a lot, specifically because of the Esper artifacts shard. Tezzeret the Seeker got me into MTGO's 100 card singleton to fuel toolbox decks. That ended up being a big rabbit hole. I like putting Epochrasite in my Tezzeret...

Speaking of color pie and removal, what do you think of a one mana blue spell that handles most threats? Cryoshatter

Agreed. That's a shame, because it would be cool to get another trinket token in the mix with as much cross set variety as clues or food. They probably debated whether they should make the flavor of that token more useful for future sets and decided it was more important to fit the space...

I think it's great that they're finishing land cycles in Commander decks. This means they will likely do more in future releases and before long we will have some completed cycles. Edit: I guess that precedent was already set when they made the Odyssey enemy colored filter lands. But any time...

BOK was the newest set when I signed up for MTGO after a long absence from paper magic. My most vivid memory is of hating the Jitte. Sometimes I got a bit of joy by repeatedly blocking their equipped creature and sacrificing (Sage of Lat-Nam, Pentavus) or bouncing my blocker (Vedalken...

I used to play it with Magus of the Unseen and Sage of Lat-Nam. I had sick teck back in 1997. And yes, I also used Xenic Poltergeist. It's a three card combo to kill a creature every turn, but the deck sometimes also had the three way combo of Royal Assassin, Nettling Imp, and Icy Manipulator...

Marrow Bats

This is super cool, but also, I respect your style of "It's Decorative Gourd Season, Motherfuckers" swearing.

I noticed that for green enchantments, the UB frame is very similar to the normal one. Ride the ShoopufSylvan Scavenging

I really liked the Esper artifact shard from Alara and Conflux for my casual decks and 100 card singleton decks, but Alara Reborn didn't offer as much for me. Thopter Foundry is a cool card. I've considered Zealous Persecution for some lists - it's a simple card that could have appeal for more...
