MTGO is where you can say "FUCK THIS FUCKING GAME" and then start drinking a beer

when you don't get any land

Also, who cares if you are qualified for the PT? You don't make fucking shit being qualified for the PT unless you're good enough to get a side gig out of it. It's hand-to-mouth living, really.

 

[Santiako]

Actual spoilers:

both seem good enough

 

[SigmasonicX]

It seems the cards were found by sending emails to cathar@wizards.com and skaab@wizards.com, which you somehow find out to do from the activity page that was put up.

Both cards are neat. I wonder if other colors will have delirium cards that exile all cards with a chosen name, since we know blue has a leaked card with that effect.

Note how Bygone Bishop falls into MaRo's statement about how they've reevaluated how to handle card draw in white. It's also a sort of callback to Mentor of the Meek.

 

[Keru_Shiri]

Wow, Bygone Bishop seems beastly in Limited.

Another one, no pic:

Abberant Researcher 3U
3/2 flyer
At the beginning of your upkeep, put the top card of your library into your graveyard, if it is an instant or sorcery, flip this card.
5/4 flyer on the other side.


Delver downgraded in constructed but upgraded for limited.

 

[The Technomancer]

The flavor on the priest is weird, but I like it mechanically

 

[Ashodin]

Bygone Bishop is pretty awesome

 

[shrapnelmagnet]

I hope there's a card like:

True Detective (Mana Cost)
Sorcery
Investigate, investigate, investigate.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Yup, got in about 6 turns into playing that deck and dropped from the match and the league. Sealed league is dumb, just like all competitive sealed.

Competitive sealed is alright because if you win you get to draft in top 8

 

[Angry Grimace]

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";197530073]Competitive sealed is alright because if you win you get to draft in top 8 [/QUOTE]

You can also just draft to begin with which is like 10 times more fun and where you have at least some control over what cards are in your pool

 

[Angry Grimace]

I really wonder if WOTC noticed that every single processor is useless in OGW draft since you can no longer reliably draft a deck that can use processing, and if they did they just said "oh well fuck it there's a bunch of overcosted vanilla dudes in the last pack!"

 

[divisionbyzorro]

This card is super sweet.

 

[Angry Grimace]

free discard outlet eh

Oblivions Strike and Iso Zone also work. It's actually not that difficult and if you pull it off it's much sweeter than it was in triple BFZ.

free discard outlet eh

Single time use only though.

 

[A Serious Man]

This card is super sweet.

This is going to be everywhere in limited.

 

[Joe Molotov]

This is going to be everywhere in limited.

2cmc for a 3/2 flyer seems pretty playable in constructed too, especially with Madness.

 

[Giant Panda]

Bygone Bishop basically goes right into CoCo right?

 

[Angry Grimace]

Bygone Bishop basically goes right into CoCo right?

Investigate doesn't seem very good in constructed at first blush because its such a grindy form of cantripping. I would think a deck that cares about the permanent, e.g. Thopter Spy Network or something would be more interesting.

If there isn't a card that says "destroy target creature. That creature's controller investigates." then fuck this set.

 

[Ashodin]

Man that black discard outlet, phew gimme a towel

 

[Angry Grimace]

Missed 4 picks in pack 1 due to network issues, but still won match 1 with Black/Green.

All that was left was big dudes, so I just drafted all the hedron crawlers and seer's lanterns and scion summoner's to try and ramp to them. Disappointed I didn't get any of the fight cards but did get 2 Tar Snare (meh) and an Oblivion Strike.

There are three GPs this weekend. Each one has a puzzle room. Completing the puzzle room gets clues handed out to the attendees. Those clues combine with other clues @wizards_magic posts to tell you a word. You email <word>@wizards.com and they email you back a spoiler. Each GP has four cards to reveal over the weekend.

how do we already have the cards for GPs that haven't occurred yet

 

[bigkrev]

It's late afternoon Friday in Melbourne right now. They are already running GPT's, side events, ect at the venue right now.

 

[SigmasonicX]

This card is super sweet.

Really neat how this ties into the madness flavor.

 

[bigkrev]

Nice little thing from Owen's Tournament report

Quick anecdote: So many people were playing Hardened Scales that on Day 2, when I would ask if my opponent had dice and wanted to high roll for choice of play or draw, I knew that all the people who didn't have dice were not playing Scales.

 

[tch]

This card is super sweet.

Yesss. Get in my cube.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I feel like opposing Rally players always have Reflector Mage in their hands, always have Reflector Mage in their graveyards, always have Reflector Mage in their top 6 and always topdeck Reflector Mage from empty hands against impending lethal attacks.

 

[SigmasonicX]

OT title suggestions? First one's probably better for Eldritch Moon.

Magic: the Gathering - Shadows over Innistrad |OT| It's only a paper moon
Magic: the Gathering - Shadows over Innistrad |OT| Sorin Doo, Where Are You?
Magic: the Gathering - Shadows over Innistrad |OT| Werewolves and angry exes

[Angry Grimace]

Magic: the Gathering - Shadows Over Innistrad |OT| Mystery at Markov Manor

Magic: the Gathering - Shadows Over Innistrad |OT| Jace; in the Hall; with a Bone Saw

 

[ironmang]

Man, feeling a lot better about this format going into Team Sealed next weekend. Obviously we could open garbage and get crushed but with an average pool I think we should be able to 6-3 at least.

 

[GoutPatrol]

This card is super sweet.

A 3/2 flyer for 2 sounds great. Throwing away a cheap madness card plus a 3/2 flyer for 4 is amazing.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Magic: the Gathering - Shadows over Innistrad |OT| When the moon you can see reflects eldrazi, that's amore

 

[kirblar]

Definitely save the first one for E. Moon.

*everyone collectively gasps*
EMRAKUL?!

 

[Ashodin]

I like the clue reference

 

[The Technomancer]

Magic: the Gathering - Shadows over Innistrad |OT| Oh uh, Mr. Markov, just one more thing

 

[Infinite Stars]

Title Suggestions:

Jacewatch in the Woods
Nahir, Nafar, Nawhereever you are
Nahiri's feeling Sorin a few places

 

[The Technomancer]

Magic: the Gathering - Shadows over Innistrad |OT| Would you do it for a Sorin snack?

Magic: the Gathering - Shadows over Innistrad |OT| Jace and crew on Zombie Island

Magic: the Gathering - Shadows over Innistrad |OT| What does Cyclopean mean?

Magic: the Gathering - Shadows over Innistrad |OT| Jace vs Evil Dead

 

[G.ZZZ]

The discard spell really needed to cost like 2 and be a duress effect, 3 make it really slow on the draw Vs combo even if it exile, especially considering the blue variant is a playable spell without delirium and not fucking coercion

LOL my opponent in the last round just conceded the match after getting mana screwed in the first game. Was about to go to sleep but figured I'd just finish this round off and good thing I did. 4-1d with a pretty mediocre pool.

 

[Ashodin]

Shadows over Innistrad |OT| Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing
Shadows over Innistrad |OT| There's nothing to fear but madness itself
Shadows over Innistrad |OT| Blue's Clues
Shadows over Innistrad |OT| Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned
Shadows over Innistrad |OT| Where Have All The Good Angels Gone?

 

[V_Arnold]

There will be a new Liliana in Innistrad, right? Right?

 

[Santiako]

There will be a new Liliana in Innistrad, right? Right?

Yes, probably on Eldritch Moon, since she seems to be the face of the set.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

|OT| Are you excited to see me or is this in an emrakul in your pants.

|OT| do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour Jace

 

[WanderingWind]

Shadows over Innistrad |OT| Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Scorned

Come on, this is perfect. Flavorful, clever and catchy. Everything else is too in-jokey. A vote for Ashodin is a vote for America and therefore, the world.

 

[V_Arnold]

Yes, probably on Eldritch Moon, since she seems to be the face of the set.

Is that the set after SoI? Edit: Google is my friend, yep. Nice!

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Spoiler season boys

they gonna make madness cards that draw cards? Card looks like a limited powerhouse.
