Magic The Gathering: Someday Horse Tribal Will Be A Thing

Post by Juju&Lulu (?) » Thu Nov 09, 2017 11:43 am

Talk about Magic here.

With Wizards pumping put so much product at the moment, I'm not going to do a rundown of it all, but I will say I will definitely be doing drafts for Unstable when that set comes out. This will be my first Un-set and this one looks like it'll be phenomenal.

Atm the only format I'm playing is Commander, but maybe one day (IE after I move next year) I'll build an Eldrazi for modern.

In case anyone wants to learn how to play Magic, you could go to Wizards' YouTube channel and watch all those tutorial videos with Jimmy Wong

Or you can watch Exclamation Point do it

I mostly just like his videos

There are plenty of cards revealed already, but these are some of the highlights so far.

Also contraptions look ridiculous but I love them

I'm a bit disappointed by the contraptions though, not sure how well they'll fit with drafting...

Now that they've been properly explained, I like them a lot. I like card games with multiple decks and I like the randomness element to them, and that they help make for potentially interesting plays.

Of course there's going to be 45 of them and so far only 4 have been revealed so there's still plenty of room to see where they go.

I'm an elf player, but I'm an elf player that knows where the power lies.

So basically I play Simic, I just use Blue's counterspells to protect my elves until I can go infinite.

Back when I put together comp-ish decks I made a mono blue deck that ran howling mines and similar effects (There's a bunch in kamigawa block), a shitload of bounce spells and counterspells, and artifacts that damage the opponent if they have a lot of cards in hand

It was SUPER fun for me and extremely annoying for anyone that played against it

My favorite ravnica guild is the azorius both for the hilarious flavor and the 'stall the game the fuck out' playstyle

Also ravnica has the coolest card, remand, which is both a bounce spell AND a counterspell

Filibuster counters are definitely on the shortlist of best counters in the game

Yeah that card is fucking great

More practically the azorius also have supreme verdict, which is arguably the only wrath of god-type card ever printed that is better than wrath of god (same total mana cost although multicolored, same effect minus 'cant be regenerated', can't be countered)

What i meant was how they'll work in draft, with 2 per pack there'll be 48 in the pool, that is assuming they're not just put aside like tokens and you basically end up with the 6 randoms you opened in packs as your entire contraption deck :-I
So you have to properly balance drafting Riggers and Contraptions (which you're almost drafting face up), which seems way too much effort for Un-draft :skeptical:

Yeah, i suppose Eldrazi Taxes is borderline aggro vOv
And i don't actually mind playing against blue decks (discounting merfolk, if they even count as 'blue'...), just "hate" the colour since i had some bad experiences at start of my magic-playing when a friend who brought a bunch of decks to play with also included a Stasis deck ^^

ah shahrazad, possibly the only non-op card as thoroughly banned as ante cards

let me tell you how, back when i played magic at my local game store as an 11-12 year old, there was a dude who played in our giant 6+ person games who had a copy of that card, which he played in a white deck designed to be as obnoxious as possible to kill

at the time i was not a fan but in retrospect that man was a hero

I know a guy who pulled his Mox Opal out of its hard case and cheated it to the top of his deck solely for the purpose of playing a turn 1 Shaharazad in a giant 10 person game. We were less than impressed. :v:

I made a version of the card for the my little pony card game

in case for whatever reason you want to print a custom card for your home games or something.

I forget, is death due to having 10 or more poison counters considered a state-based effect?

Also apparently one of the hosts is named pony.

So that's a thing maybe

Edit: Its name is Ordinary Pony
