Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
"Jace; in the Hall; with a Bone Saw" is objectively the best one.

Avacyn in general is pushed as fuck. That card is going to cost way too much money.
I agree that it's the best one

Full foil Jund deck, all expeditions and judge foils.

Yeah. People will be afraid to try to kill anything when their opponent has 5 mana up in white because you just know your opponent will have Avacyn in hand. So then you get blown out on your removal, and in addition your opponent gets a serra angel with a built in weenie board wipe. Or you flash it in during combat to turn trades into one sided victories. The card is just has so much fucking value.

She's bonkers and sweet. One of the best Mythics I've seen in years.
Dude could probably buy a house for the price of that deck.

I once saw a heroin addict shooing up in one of the toy aisles at a Wal-Mart. Not really the same thing, but pretty close.

Archangel Avacyn is pretty comical in the Eldrazi Displacer+Brood Monitor combo deck.
I just realized it's an instant kill if you keep bouncing the monitor in reaponse to the transform trigger.
So now you can play the deck without relying on the underpowered cutthroats.

Not sure what I'm missing? Machine gun transformations already exist in Thraben Sentry.
I guess its next upkeep so you don't need to respond but still.

Unless you're some kind of creepy weirdo who immediately interrogates every Magic player you meet on their Jace preferences I am confident this is incorrect.
WotC prints all of their promos for the year (or quarter, or whatever) in one big batch, so stuff gets misplaced. We found out about the Rishadan Port promo because it accidentally turned up in a pack of WMCQ Thalias. Or we saw these same blister packs with Stocking Tigers up front last year too.

No, what that means is your combo doesn't work.
You can't get the transform trigger or the flip side trigger multiple times a turn.

Re: delirium vs. threshold:
I feel vindicated in my commentary! Surprised they were actually willing to consider just putting Threshold and Madness in and going whole hog with the Odyssey 2 thing, though.
Under the rules today, the trigger should stack up repeatedly, and the "transform {name}" part refers to the card on both sides (though it looks like that rule will change with SOI.)
Yeah, they're great (or, as Reddit would have it, awful because GURLZ NO.)

Edit: Oh wait, we're talking about blinking the Brood Monitor, okay, I see what you're saying. But yeah, I do not expect that the transform triggers will stack like that given it says to transform Archangel Avacyn, and not Evil Avacyn - I would have to check the rules on that, that seems pretty obscure. In any case, I'm fairly certain they're not going to let you stack multiple instances of transforming Archangel Avacyn regardless of how you do it.

Sexy. The Duels logo looks like shit on dark theme, here
Unfortunately, that makes it look all jagged, and parts of the image are black text anyway.

They might change it, but right now that's how it works.

PV's talking about Lantern in a deck tech and his secret Pyxis of Pandemonium sideboard tech.

Yeah, at first I thought it was even odds whether they changed it or not, but then I noticed that Archangel Avacyn's trigger isn't a "may" and there's no way the card will actually do what that'd suggest.

I don't mind Jace that much. He just has the most broken card because his mechanical identity is everything broken about blue.

I get the feeling PV is a little slow on Modern tech in general.

I wasn't really on board, and I kind of still hope it's something else, but:
It's pretty likely it's Emrakul in some way, even if Emrakul isn't there. The Emrakul/Moon theories do seem sound...
I mean, if we're all lucky you'll be right and they'll kill off Jace in the Magic movie.
Oh, and my vote for the title is def. "Blue's Clues."
That's fair, but did Emrakul do anything like that on Zendikar?
Emrakuls wastes would have been flesh and bone.

Did I just see Reid Duke playing a Revised Llanowar Elves? What a weird choice. I guess he likes the old tap symbol?

He also had a ridiculously beat-up Alpha Llanowar Elves.

There's no reason to fuck around. Ban both Temple and Eye and guarantee that it's gone forever.
That's how I feel. I do especially hate when people say Eye shouldn't be banned since it hurts tron. Fuck tron. Twin is gone and they got ulamog. They can stand to lose Eye.
I think it will still be a tier 1 deck after they ban the lands, probaby in the form of Eldrazi Tron or something similar, the creature base of Mimic, Thought Knot and Reality Smasher is just amazing even at 2/4/5 mana, it will just be a slower, more fair deck.
I could see 1 or 2 TKS in Tron lists but not really any of the others from the eldrazi decks. Wurmcoil and Karn are just too good.

Banning both is a severe over-reaction. It's still allowed to be a T1 deck, and since mana ramping is still a legit strategy and considering Tron lands are allowed, Temple remaining would be just fine. What can't be allowed is infinite, scalable mana ramping that allows for free spell casting on T1. Eye is the problem.
With only Temple, Spreading Seas/Molten Rain strategies would actually be viable. Without Eye, Thought-Knots couldn't always come down before reasonable counter strategies, Mimics couldn't come down for free, Displacers couldn't cost one and repeatable tutors couldn't be a thing.

Ban the Tron lands too, just to be safe.
