So I assume you still pay the mana cost to have it be on the field and in your hand?

It's still a good mana sink/threat in limited I think

EDIT: More stuff came out

Image

I was going to get the Terese Neilsen goat token for my commander deck but now I want this one.


And now for the big one

"Whether fighting Phyrexians, founding the Tolarian Academy, or just enjoying retirement, Urza always kept his head."

Seeing Urza reminded me that last week at PAX Unplugged they showed some artwork from the upcoming return to Dominaria

Pretty much everyone is calling the older woman being Jaya. Some are theorizing that the mage might be Narset (if so she has a sweet new haircut). I liked Narset so I'd be happy to see her again.

All in all I'll just be happy to get Elves back

Full Unstable spoilers are up. Overall, this set is looking great and I can't wait to draft it. I wanna really draft contraptions so I'll probably shoot for either UW or GR depending on my pulls

After looking at the set I think this is my favorite card:

The hilarious artwork, the bizarre design, and the requirement to keep it in play

4 and 2 black though, eh.

I get that it's an easy sac to fuel some black shenanigans though.

6 mana for a 4/1 flier and unconditional 'destroy a creature' isnt bad tbh

so long as you can manage to play effectively with your head on the table i think its a good deal

Alright now that it's not almost midnight I can go into more detail.

So basically contraptions are great. I drafted nearly 15 of them, and I picked up every U/W I could. Since the contraptions go to a separate deck, they didn't dilute my deck and I got to keep every card I drafted in my colors. Having essentially 13-15 more resources than my opponent was great.

The deck was a little slow though and grindy and I lost to a red deck. Honestly in my next draft I'm going to try and draft BR, because Finders Keepers is solid removal and gets you a contraption. Red also has a a lot of solid contraption enablers and artifact hate (I lost to 2 top decks of the pangolin that eats artifacts).

Collection-wise I got the one token I wanted (the goat token) so I'm already good on that end. Of my five lands I have 3 forests (i feel like Wizards has my number)

Ultimately, my one goal is to get a copy of Split Screen (a card I desperately want in black border) and 1 of all 45 contraptions. At the moment I'm at 13/45.

So yeah this set is amazing. I love contraptions and want them to bring them into black border.

Wow a pod of commander tonight against three blue combo decks.

2 of them were running power artifact combo so these were like $1000+ decks easily.

Felt good

So this week Wizards announced... A lot of MTG news. But so far I'm most interested in Battlebond. Its going to be a supplemental set focused on a unique drafting experience, like Conspiracy. This one will focus on Two Headed Giant,have new cards, and take place on a brand new sports and arena-centered plane.

So a Chinese WotC site apparently put up Dominaria release notes instead of A25 :-I

Wizards realised it's too big of a thing to try and contain and since pretty much everyone was depending on Google translate to read them, they just released the official version of it, including all the translations. There's about 100 cards in the document ^^

WOTC realeased its first image of what sagas look like. As someone that tries to get as many different card frames into their commander deck as they can, I welcome one that I can play in my Trostani Reanimator deck.

So Wizards announced a new format today called Brawl.

What is Brawl you ask. Its basically Standard Commander. A singletons deck of 60 standard-legal cards. Commander tax and the command zone function the same way, but planeswalkers can be your commander as well. Also you start at 30 life instead of 40. Also no commander damage.

Also if you buy a box of Dominaria from an LGS you can get this promo.... And this is the only way to get said promo for now.

Sweet a Boros commander that doesn't care about combat.

I just found Mesa Unicorn a bit odd cause it's so close to being a functional reprint of a card from a block just before this one, other than the type ^^

Also, more non-horses :v:

Mesa Unicorn is pretty dramatically worse than Bishop's Soldier because
1) It's not a soldier
2) It's not a vampire
3) It does not have that amazing facial hair

So after seeing pretty much all of the couple dozen or so possible new commanders, the one I'm definitely building around will be Teshar. He combines all of my favorite strategies: hate bears, recursion, eggs, and piles of jank artifacts.

Also he's mono-white and I finally want to make that work in commander.

I'm just sad there's no Jund commander for Brawl, cause i somehow got 3 Scorpion Gods in the prerelease and drafts we did here, but i don't wanna lose access to Green playing that :-I
And the mention of Hatebears made me realise i was hoping for a Serra Avenger reprint here...

I'm running that too, I also have the Leonin that works the same way for artifacts/enchantments

Also Shimmer Myr gives all my artifacts flash so I can essentially recur my creatures at instant speed too.

Anyways, out of all the new commanders, the one I've chosen to build around is Raff Capashen, Ship's Huge Nerd. Because flashing in MLD and Board wipes is fun.

I'm really interested in Battlebond. Wizard's supplemental products lately have been really good, and its always neat to see them make sets without having tobworry about Standard or makimg the reprint value worth a $10 pack.

I mostly just wanna know how they'll handle the mechanics to make drafting as 2HG decent. Since you're drafting as a team you do get 2 picks, but there'll be only 4 packs meaning you get a shared pool of 54 cards to make 2 decks out of... Plus the fact there will only be 4 packs in circulation means the stronger cards and even playables could dry out much faster.
So i'm pretty pessimistic about it until we learn more :-/

Although speaking of reprints, Battlebond will kinda have functional reprints of original duals as far as the limited format is concerned :-I
