It's to represent any double-faced cards you have in your draft deck when you're playing without sleeves.

The green uncommon is there too, so maybe there is a second one for Rares+Mythics?

Oh come on, really @ another early leak.
Though what we see is interesting. Nice to see I was right about madness. Skulk is pretty clearly an attempt at a U/B evergreen keyword, though I thought it was weird on that one Dragons of Tarkir megamorph card, and it's odd how it would be weaker on large creatures. I can't really comment on the other mechanics yet. I'm guessing the demon from the Duel Deck doesn't have delirium to hide that it's a mechanic.
A lot of the art seems much weaker than OG Innistrad, unfortunately, but hopefully there are still standouts.

I don't know how you can deny that Eldrazi is just busted as fuck at this point.
The deck's probably viable in Legacy, since you have ALL the Sol lands.

Obviously these decks were never legal together, but I can't help but wonder if Twin would have a good matchup against Eldrazi.
It would have, yeah. Twin busts up any linear deck. (Though Eldrazi is running Dismember, so...)
But you probably would have just ended up with Eldrazi Twin.

Liking what I'm seeing from SOI so far. Hopefully spoiler season doesn't get ruined this time out.
The mana would be so sketchy
$100 Cascade Bluffs?

Love that colorless version of the Eldrazi deck. But yeah, see, this is what actual data looks like. When a deck picks up a 80 percent win rate, eyes start to twitch over at WotC. Still, it's only day 1 of its first real tournament.
I find it hilarious that there is a UR version and it doesn't even bother with Kozilek's Return.

You're playing 4 lands that tap for nothing and 4 that only tap for colourless, and you still need a u/r source to use Cascade Bluffs which are breaking up the powerful draws so you probably don't do anything against normal twin

This is the first tournament where the big brewers have put a deck for it together. The deck is completely busted, its obvious from just looking at Thought-Knot and Eye of Ugin at the same time.

Oh man I went back to OT1 to read the original reaction to DFCs, a whole lot of skepticism back then

So is it more or less likely that LotV is returning now that we know Madness is around?
BR Madness with Tormenting Voice, Tibalt and Lili let's go

LotV was already deemed to powerful for reprint in a format that wasn't designed to support it, I highly doubt we get her now

So...uh...is it me or does Skin Invasion sound like an instant or sorcery?
Eh, probably a double faced enchantment
Autumnal Gloom definitely is

Madness existing in general is already potentially busted with LOTV in Modern if anything is good with it.

Aura that makes creature attack each turn, and when the creature dies the card flips and the swarm of bugs under his skin are on the other side

Lepore just destroyed this guy, Lepore is on C Colorless, but he doesn't have a team so he has a rogue build
Wouldn't Eldrazi Temple be the better ban? It's not bad in multiples.

It's going to be all Infect and Eldrazi and Infect's matchup is mostly "combo off"
What an exciting meta.
It's either or both and the price drops either way on it if there's a ban on either half.

Modern is soooo much healthier without Splinter Twin. *eyeroll*
Eye of Ugin would obviously still be super busted, but a T1 deck that would smash the Eldrazi deck actually would have made this a much more diverse tournament.
Ok, so what do you do with the card exactly. If the cards are 2 sided why do i need a checklist
Is there limited on day 3 of pt?
You mark on the checklist what 2 sided card you are using and use that instead so the you can't see what card is the 2 sided card.
Day 3 is modern only afaik
If you don't play with sleeves you put the checklist card in your unsleeved deck (back of check list is normal backing) that represents the unflipped side and when you flip it you can use the actual card with both sides on it.
This tournament is hilarious. Obviously terrible long term, but it won't last.
When does Modern season start (the WOTC site fucking sucks for this info)? Eldrazi is big at the PT, but with a Modern GP in a month and the pptq season at some point I'm not entirely convinced that things won't balance out before an Eldrazi Temple ban is needed.
Edit: Naturally Ian says that on stream as I'm typing this. Guess we'll see.
Doesn't Jace (Magic Origins) rotate out when SoI hits?

No, Khans and Fate rotate out, Dragons and Origins rotate with the block after Innistrad2.

It's a substitute for the 2 sided card since you can't directly play it in your deck. You can directly play DFC (double faced cards) in your deck with opaque sleeves, though.

I'm surprised that none of the 1-4 Lantern players are doing well. Eldrazi just scoops to Bridge. Maybe they all suck at drafting.
You can't adjust to what's happening in the format right now. T2 Seer, T3 Smasher is GG.
We knew this was a possible outcome. Just might not have been expecting it to bust open this fast.

Maybe Lantern isn't the best deck in the format when it doesn't draw Ensnaring Bridge who would have thought
