So, obviously, a single Karn isn't doing any of us any good. We should do like, a commune thing and pool our resources. For the good of us all.

Hey hey hey. Colorless EDH.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Ban Karn

 

[WanderingWind]

Hey hey hey. Colorless EDH.

Those aren't real words.

 

[Ashodin]

How dare you belittle the most popular format since modern(tm)

But some of my best friends are colorless.

 

[kirblar]

I have a set.

Bow to the power of Exodia.

 

[Firemind]

Hey hey hey. Colorless EDH.

Does this mean you can only play Wastes as basics?

 

[Angry Grimace]

Technically they're still illegal until Friday =V

(they play 0 basics and just run a billion random utility lands)

 

[LaserBuddha]

Having a basic land to fetch is going to help out colorless EDH decks.

Same. That's basically my response whenever someone in team chat asks about building a modern or legacy deck. "I've got this".

 

[Santiako]

Actually already legal since saturday!

6.Commander is played with vintage legal cards. Cards are legal to play with as of their sets' prerelease

I own at least 4 Karn, 2 foil. C'mon son, get on my level!

Look at that, I only play Fridays

I'm already excited with changes, and sad robot can be put in!

 

[ultron87]

I should've gone and played Modern today. Wonder if it would just be Twin players taking the old girl out for one more drive while it is still technically legal.

 

[Ashodin]

Wooh top ten be always shufflin'

 

[divisionbyzorro]

Holy fuck did they ever screw up with Jace.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Bloom Tender is just €8 here, for a second there I thought I gotta go and sleeve it up. Or is that foil?

 

[kirblar]

Holy fuck did they ever screw up with Jace.

Which Jace?

 

[aidan]

Which Jace?

Jace, the Living Guildpact.

 

[red13th]

Watching Caleb Durward from ChannelFireball playing cube, he drafted a blue deck with Master of the Waves and went against two mono red decks in his first two games. :lol

 

[Chorazin]

Played in the weekend's pre-release event, went 2-0-2, came in 7th and scored 6 free packs. Now to hibernate until the next set comes out and do it's pre-release!

Played a Blue-Red control-esque deck with medium creatures and Surge goodness. Didn't pull anything of note.

he also had a windswept heath yet passed Tropical Island twice while contemplating the lack of mana fixing for his deck. And he scooped to an Abyssal Persecutor w/o a sac outlet

foil bloom tender pulled on a honeymoon~!

 

[Infinite Stars]

Turns out having 5 cards in your GY on turn 3 isn't hard for a format with frequently played 1 Mana spells, Fetches galore, etc, especially not when you can then flashback your any spells.

I'm 90% certain Jace is going to drop in use in Standard once the Fetches rotate though, his insane value is partially tied to Fetches being everywhere in the format.

Didn't watch game 3 yet but yeah I yelled at the screen when he passed the Tropical Island

I already sold my jaces despite his potential in SOI. I'm skipping this standard format and I already have a finished Modern deck so I get more value from 200 bucks.

I'm slowly assembling my Modern Deck. The Bans didn't hurt me, if anything they helped the deck I'm building I just wish Horizon Canopy wasn't so fricking expensive

 

[Daedardus]

Like, for real. It's a painland that can net you an extra card, for sure, it's a above decent card. More so with Crucible. But it only being in Future Sight didn't help the price I think.

 

[Ashodin]

I can't wait until the fetches rotate in April. It'll be easier to buy into standard then.

 

[kirblar]

5 is a "what were you thinking?" number on that card.

 

[y2dvd]

Wooh top ten be always shufflin'

Why is my hobby so expensive?

I'm really hoping that Wizards makes Horizon Canopy's cycle in a future set. They like cycling as a mechanic and there's nothing broken about them in their design.

Horizon Canopy is so good. Should be a 4 of in way more decks.

 

[Daedardus]

They better print a Burnwillows cycle. But maybe they will be too broken.

I'm with you man. I want a set of canopies but holy shit it just keeps going up

 

[Santiako]

They are definitely too good in any non aggro deck (as shown by RG Tron).

 

[kirblar]

It'd be broken. Canopy cycle is very possible, though.

 

[Daedardus]

Twin could use them too if they want to pull of the combo. Well, could.

 

[bigkrev]

So, what should I do with my Ugins? I'm never going to play Tron, and a Duel Deck reprint is unlikely, but possible. Should I trade/sell now, or hold a year or 2 for Modern demand?

Hoooooold.

 

[Haines]

Do you guys tend to agree with lr limited set reviews? I like to listen to it again after i played with the cards. Looking forward to the rare reviews this week

 

[bigkrev]

Hoooooold.

I'm just worried that if Tron gets hurt by bannings, it will destroy the value of the card.

 

[kirblar]

You have time to wait and see if that's a concern.

These bros go in literally every EDH deck ever in addition to Tron.

Set reviews before time has passed for people can have a lot of problems. When they had triple Mirrodin drafts on MTGO 2 weeks ago, I was amazed that Viridian Longbow (which I knew from previous experience was a bomb) would table. I then figured out why- people who weren't familiar with the format were finding articles from 2003, where the set was released, and none of those articles were talking about how good Viridian Longbow was, because it took time for people to realize how good it was.

Set reviews this early are fine to use as a baseline, but don't obey them like gospel. In a month, when there have been 10s of thousands of drafts to use as data, we will have a better understanding of the format.

 

[charlequin]

And yeah modern has become everything it was intended to solve. There is nothing modern anymore about playing with 12 year old cards.

The problems Modern was intended to solve were "Extended sucks" and "we don't have an old-cards format that isn't hurt by the reserved list" and it did fine solving both of those.

I never understood why they didn't just rotate out older sets after a while.

The entire point of Modern is that it doesn't rotate. Modern that rotates is Extended which is and was a garbage format.

They better print a Burnwillows cycle. But maybe they will be too broken.

There is like zero chance, lol.

 

[Ashodin]

First draft of the big bad.

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

That's just a win more card. It does literally nothing on its own and has zero synergy with itself

Heck I'd play Titanic ultimatum over it, at least that'd win me a game instantaneously if I have creatures

 

[Santiako]

That seems kinda underpowered for that cost.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Mah beta access It's broken so I can't bask in glorious broken OGW cards.

As for "what if Tron gets banned" I don't even know what would get banned in Tron. Karn?

 

[Infinite Stars]

-X where X is completely Irrelevant? Seems legit.

It seems both undercoated, win more, and the ultimate definition of Timmy's Walker.
