Man, Maro seems incredibly excited.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Maro is just too much for me.

 

[A Serious Man]

MaRo is jazzed as fuck right now.

 

[SigmasonicX]

Crazy person MaRo on stage.

 

[bigkrev]

Did some give Maro catnip?

 

[Toxi]

MaRo is jazzed as fuck right now.

I'm pretty sure Mark Rosewater is always like that.

 

[Joe Molotov]

He dropped E before going on stage.

 

[Yeef]

E = NRG

 

[El Topo]

Ahahahaha.

 

[A Serious Man]

Oh. Shit.

 

[The Technomancer]

...huh

 

[bigkrev]

My instinct is to hate this, but we shall see

This does NOT feel like Magic

 

[ultron87]

Ah, resources that last turn to turn. Cool.

 

[charlequin]

 

[Angry Grimace]

Mechanic E gives you energy counters!

If there's a good way to get energy counters Aetherworks Marvel is possibly busted.

 

[Santiako]

Maro, lay off the coke goddamn.

Energy looks kinda unexciting, but we'll see.

 

[The Technomancer]

On its surface this almost seems dull, but yeah with a lot of cards this could be a very interesting mechanic

 

[MisterFalcon]

This feels like a mechanic from another game.

 

[Joe Molotov]

OMG CARD D

 

[charlequin]

 

[Joe Molotov]

Contraptions!

 

[Santiako]

Fabricate is cool, and if there's a big ass Fabricate dude it'll be amazing with my Alesha EDH.

 

[Crocodile]

Yeah this "Energy" reveal hasn't wowed me. Maybe this was the wrong card to reveal

Fabricate looks cool (ignoring it uses a already used card name)

I feel blessed to not know what LN stands for.

Go educate yourself

and join us in the mud

I guess I view Dack's as being so matchup dependent, and he makes more sense in eternal formats. In an imaginary format where I have some R/U shell with both Dac and Saheeli are legal and I'm facing down Bant Company, Dack's -2 is dead and he protects himself even less

This seems like a bad way to evaluate a card?

This feels like a mechanic from another game.

Pokemon TCG

 

[Toxi]

Glad they went with Servos instead of Thopters. We don't need that many flying creatures.

 

[charlequin]

Energy is a much more interesting mechanic than it sounds like. Mixing per-turn resources and ongoing mechanics together adds a ton of strategic value.

Fabricate is such a hearthstone mechanic, omg.

 

[kirblar]

Revealing Energy with one card was dumb, you need to show at least 2.

 

[The Technomancer]

And here it comes

 

[A Serious Man]

Vehicles incoming.

 

[Santiako]

That's kinda cool. I love the border.

 

[SigmasonicX]

 

[charlequin]

This is... not how I thought this would work at all.

Spoiler

lol i have to rename my ship mechanic in my custom set now

 

[Joe Molotov]

vroom vroom

 

[Crocodile]

If we don't get a "Gundam" vehicle I will riot

 

[A Serious Man]

Fabricate/vehicle synergy is pretty obvious. I'm digging this so far.

 

[The Technomancer]

That's a super interesting implementation. Not at all like equipment

 

[An-Det]

That's actually a pretty neat way to do cars. Also Fabricate is awesome.

I totally need my friend to do some Servo tokens like this now.

 

[El Topo]

How do those mechanic make me feel like an inventor? I mean, you don't...invent things. Mechanics look promising, but time will tell.

 

[SigmasonicX]

You can tap more creatures than necessary to get a real party going.

 

[Santiako]

Energy, Fabricate and Vehicles are the only mechanics. I'm loving this set already.

 

[The Technomancer]

How do those mechanic make me feel like an inventor? I mean, you don't...invent things.

Mechanic E is going to sink or swim based on the entire lineup of cards, not just one or two. I can see it being super cool and interesting if, like he says, it presents a lot of strategic decisions game to game

 

[ultron87]

Interesting that it is a non-creature with a set Power and Toughness before you crew it.

I wonder if they'll start doing manlands that way.

 

[jph139]

Energy doesn't look exciting, but I'm sure it plays super well. Lots of decision-making.

Neat mechanics, more decisions, interesting sure, but all that doesn't have anything to do with inventing. Whether or not those decisions will matter and work together well is also a very different question.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

So I suppose energy was supposed to be what charge counters on mirrodin ended up being.
It'll have to prove itself different to that to prove interesting.

Not very impressed so far.

 

[Fou-Lu]

This plane is now Tatooine in my mind.

 

[The Technomancer]

Oh shit you don't sacrifice the Aetherwork Marvel

That card just got a lot more interesting

 

[bigkrev]

I'm kinda underwhelmed by Kaladesh so far. I REALLY don't like the idea of Energy

 

[A Serious Man]

Energy has a ton of potential, I can't wait to see how other cards use it.

 

[Angry Grimace]

This is... not how I thought this would work at all.

Spoiler

lol i have to rename my ship mechanic in my custom set now

Every time I play this I will shout NOW THIS IS PODRACING

 

[Fou-Lu]

I don't get the hate for energy. Another persistent resource is something I've felt would add a lot to MTG for a long time.
