Brimaz was hella expensive for a while.
Like, a ton. Comparing him with the other two is silly.I didn't play during the time, but I'm positive that Brimaz saw way more play than Knux.

I've seen Bug. I think the only Black-involving 3 Color DS deck I haven't seen is Mardu, which is amusing because you'd figure it would be a thing.Perfection.
Anyone else already tiring of seeing all the flavours of death's shadow? Junk, Grixis, Jund, heck I've seen Esper. Though surprisingly no BUG
It's not like mardu really has much going for it other colours combos don't cover.I've seen Bug. I think the only Black-involving 3 Color DS deck I haven't seen is Mardu, which is amusing because you'd figure it would be a thing.
I'm getting sick of it though, because it's just getting dumb. Also getting dumb is when SCG's star players are wising up to SSG as virtually free and running 4 of them in a deck called "Mono White Eldrazi"
Well, Mardu has access to the 3 best removal spells in Modern built right into the Mana. It's also got access to Lingering Souls(both halfs)/Ranger/KCommand/etc.It's not like mardu really has much going for it other colours combos don't cover.
We've come full circle with SSG and Eldrazi if that deck is a thing.
You don't need access to the 3 best removal spells in the format. Adding blue already gives you a rebuy on the best 2 through Snapcaster, green gives you access to abrupt decay.Well, Mardu has access to the 3 best removal spells in Modern built right into the Mana.

Basically, if the progression went Jund into Abzan into Grixis and people are ditching Green/Goyf and sometimes even Red, I don't see why Mardu is off the table.
Yup to the second point: within a year we've come full circle back to SSG being used to cheat out Eldrazi. I think one of the games was turn 1 Land, Pitch SSG, Chalice on 1, followed by Arbiter on Turn 2 on the Play. Majors auto conceded at that point, and I don't Blame him. That's basically a lost game right there because of SSG.
In reality we're gonna get exertlands and we're gonna like it.
Oh right, can't go without these in the gods section.
I find all standard dual lands except fastlands to be utter crap.
Man lands and battle lands are ok for standard and EDH, but the same can be said for many cards.
tangolands see a surprising amount of modern play. Cinder Glade in Scapeshift decks as well as Ux lands in control decks.
yakob66 asked:
If the gods are invocations does that mean they have the same chance as appearing in a pack as any other invocations?
MaRo:
Yes. Remember the gods are also mythic rares in the normal set.
Sam hinted on twitter that the dual cycle's getting previewed this morning.
Only RG Scapeshift plays them, RUG skips on them for obvious reasons (is RUG even viable these days?). As for the others, Prairie Stream is at best maybe a 1-of in UW control.
I wouldn't call that a surprising amount.
better than zero thereby surprising.
Fair enough.
So whats GAFs opinion on Miscalculation in standard and modern? (In case people misunderstand, it wasn't revealed or anything, I'm just asking)
I'm sure that 'Prowling Serpopard' is a RoboRosewater creation, even if in name only
Apparently they got them because of the showlands + being lowpower in general.Holy Fuck, I wasn't expecting basic types on those, or the Cycling cost to be so low
I got people together to draft my cube for the first time! Got the full eight people too. Cube is great. I did feel like it might've been a bit beyond some of the newer players, who weren't quite up to knowing all the expected ways cards can/should be used, but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves even if their deck didn't quite work, so it worked for that at least. And I guess the best way to learn how to use this stuff would just be to draft it more.

Also, I must say, Cube Tutor is a heck of a well made website. Tweaking the list and analyzing it in every which way is so easy!
Those are pretty but some of the names are driving me nuts
