While we're on the topic of supplies (I know there is a 'supplies' thread but this is already being talked about so why not?) what kind of stuff do you guys use for keeping life? Pen and paper is fairly cumbersome for some casual cubing, and no one really likes using their phones either. Dice...

I'm saying it would've been busted if it it players, and probably fine if it actually killed everything as a rare removal spell (red hero's downfall? who knows) but since it does neither it's pretty bleh.

NECRO How has this thing been rolling for people? It's actually really useful IMO, and feels great to take when a pack is otherwise lackluster and great to use when a pack is full of your deck. My drafters always ask if it ends with the pack and so far I've gone with 'no' which makes it seem...

It only deals 5 is what I was trying to get at- it's respectable but not good. If it dealt 10 or something we'd be in business IMO, but not being able to actually remove planeswalkers a couple turns late or 6+ toughness creatures makes it bleh like a lot of burn spells.

As someone who plays burn with relative regularity that would be nuts- there have been multiple 4-damage burn spells in-format and that's bad enough. They just tried to make a rare cycle of big effects with scry and while fated conf. is respectable it's hardly good- I don't know why they're so...

I want to post CML-level reaction lists of youtube videos to this but I simply cannot see happening. Wizards believes they have been recently printing at least one card per set expressly for cube purposes iirc (MaRo post so who knows), though what those cards are exactly is hush-hush

Pre-tournament results I think it was 6. Going through some guy's bind I found one, and his gf wouldn't let him trade it "because it looks cool" *peruses young pyromancer foil price* It's... it's gone. Someone bought ALL the foil young pyromancers?? Even on eBay?!?!

WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN I cut stoneforge when someone picked it p2p1 and started forcing white (which he wasn't in at all) destroying the player directly to his right's draft, and his own. I asked him why he switched so hard and he said "it's stoneforge, man."

I think it destroyed my draft. The person who took it just took what they thought was the best card out of every pack with little thought to CMC, so his deck was pretty awful, but he hurt a lot of other peoples' decks while he was at it. (New player draft) Later I got a chuckle out of him...

How... how do you get it out? It looks so peaceful.

I like to have some large-ish finisher-type in each color pair, and originally it was spiritmonger for me, who proved relatively unkillable, and this wasn't much better. Green has the edicts and a couple of the exile effects so you exempting wraths you kind of have to be playing a deck that is...

I actually don't think koth is very exciting. His - is so largely useless that he just feels like another generic 4/x haste for {2}{R}{R}. Don't get me wrong, I like the card, it's just not very... interesting. I see sarkhan as Chandra Nalaar with a fixed +, which was her weak point to begin...

A lot of my friends are hype for that mat /pins but I can't deal with all the text. I prefer big art.

I think it's a lot better to punish "I'll leave back my 1/1 to block" then other cards, and plays fine on-curve into nothing unlike say hammerhand, which you want to save for the critical block moment. I don't think madcap is oppressive at all since it risks the typical aura 2-for-1 for power...

Junk and esper seem pretty powerful- they access to IMO the most powerful cards ATM (thoughtseize, hero's downfall, utter end, elspeth) and have ramp/counterspells and their own other goodies like siege rhino and ashiok that are very threatening. I haven't seen a xenagos-based deck perform...

So it is! Genesis wave Sun Titan Obzedat's Aid Genesis Hydra Faith's Reward Another distinction people have trouble with is that everything is a "spell" while it's on the stack (another can of worms), "this isn't a spell it's a creature" etc.

Is that even right? I think "permanent" can only refer to actual permanents. You'd have to specify "creature, enchantment, land, artifact and planeswalker cards" since "cards that aren't instants or sorceries" isn't a thing. This has slightly bothered me for a long time, because I teach a lot of...

OUTRAGE

I'm going with "just play forbidden alchemy." I'm actually a little disappointed that there isn't a real go-to self-mill card in the set. There are some cute things and plenty of stuff that 'works,' but it's all largely clunky and overcosted or doesn't get enough mileage.

Local guy has been playtesting an infinite combo with Jeskai Ascendancy- basically you run various dorks out- mostly voyaging satyr and kiora's follower- and then slam a bunch of cantripping things while untapping your enchanted lands after every ascendancy trigger, eventually either fireballing...
